    I grew up before the era of home videos, people used to go over each other's places to play board games and card games and drink coffee. I miss that. I've been to modern places where people go to play games like that but the environment is sterile and plastic, nothing like going over to a...

    Need help figuring out how talk to my friends about our different political beliefs

    Sadly creating a legal framework for that concept is so difficult as to be almost impossible. What we can do however is take people to court for publishing lies, especially if their motive for telling said lies is to make money. Murdoch learned the hard way to tread a little more lightly in...

    what is happening to 3I Atlas?

    From the link in your post: "Perhaps most interestingly, these new observations suggest the dust and ice that make up 3I/ATLAS are similar to those of the comets that formed within our Solar System." So they're surprised that it's not much different to any other comet. As for the WION link...

    I had to look that up to find out what it was . :) I like the theory of how they walked when on the ground, it reminds me of watching fruit bats climb around in trees. When they're climbing they look more like monkeys than bats, using their hands the same way any four limbed creature would.

    Need help figuring out how talk to my friends about our different political beliefs

    Probably where half of your society's problems are being amplified. That's what Rupert does, deliberately stirs up conflict because that conflict sells newspapers. His interfering in Australia basically ended when we all got the internet and could easily cross check any of his stories. He still...

    what is happening to 3I Atlas?

    Agreed, but at the same time the law of averages says it must happen now and then. Other than that it seems to be a very ordinary and not very exciting long distance comet that's behaving in a very comet like manner. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....

    One of the sickest of them all is one of my own countrymen - Rupert Murdoch. There's a prime example of the sort of propaganda I was talking about. The "us and them" mentality. You can't honestly tell me that you really believe that, surely.

    How do you relate to patterns?

    Pattern recognition is one of the reasons I was so successful in life - my ideals of success, not everyone else's. I often see patterns that others don't notice and this gives me advantages over others in many areas. Where you see a pattern you can preempt if not predict what's going to happen...

    Journalists are just people too and they're not immune to falling in to the same traps as everyone else, although a professionally trained journalist is less likely to allow their opinions to be corrupted in such a way. And when the chiefs and editors of news corporations are compromised in this...

    Journalist query: Studies of "subtypes" of autism

    Hi Michael, I recently submitted genetic material for a study being carried out in Adelaide that has similar aims but is looking at the broader spectrum of neurodivergence rather than just autism, the researcher for this project (also a Brit) is more interested in schizophrenia than autism but...

    Need help figuring out how talk to my friends about our different political beliefs

    Beautiful description, that's exactly what it is. It's the antithesis of civilisation, the rejection of civilisation in favour splintered groups and factions. Some political leaders and large institutions deliberately encourage this type of thinking though, because once people have reduced...

    Need help figuring out how talk to my friends about our different political beliefs

    There's a phrase here often used to describe a person's character - All the social graces of a lawyer. There's stereotypes for every facet of life, problems start when people believe them. The only way that gets broken down is when people step outside of their own little social bubble and start...

    I think it would be better to be open and honest with your friends. You're at an age now where you're starting to realise that not everything in life is plain black and white and I assume most of your friends are around the same age. Most of us grow out of that "us and them" mentality at around...
