Being against Zionism isn't antisemitic, but is framing Zionist Jews as culpable for most of the world's woes with Jewish stereotypes a form of antisemitism? I guess the holocaust denial is, for sure.

I doubt you can get more antisemitic than denying the Holocaust really.

The Large Hadron Collider. It's both scary, and brilliant for the exact same reasons. That's a ****ton of power running through that thing. But I think that we should absolutely keep using it because it will give us answers over time. It's scary because that amount of power can not only do some seriously damaging ****ed up ****, but also because if they find a subatomic particle with evidence of the missing link within the Darwinian theory of evolution of man, that will completely rock the foundations of society on a global level. If ever we were to find something along the lines of the conceptual idea of the fountain of youth, or something that detrimentally would increase the longevity of our lives, it'd be in that highly complex world. At the same time though, Hawking is right, humans are ****ing with things that we're not meant to be ****ing with by getting into that territory. Trouble is, that man has to play with fire in order to survive. It's a paradox of sorts. There's no such thing as too much knowledge. I firmly believe that to be true. I also believe, that in an attempt to quest for knowledge and freedom, mankind will eventually destroy itself and that there is no avoiding that, really. As far as I understand it, CERN now hypothesizes that they're going to need to build an even larger, Large Hadron Collider, in order to be able to dig deeper and come up with more conclusive results.

Unless you were to dissect the extremely small, the highly microscopic, that'd be the only way you'd be able to really find something like that. It's an accepted notion but not a proven notion. That's very easy to forget since Darwin was right about evolution on everything else. But our sentience is what sets us aside and creates that conundrum, and our sentience is an aspect of our introspection. We don't know that an ape, knows that it is an ape, and what that actually means to the ape. We don't know that. With the development of discovering the Higgs Boson, and the Higgs Field expansion of the universe, it will be a long way off but eventually they will be edging closer and closer to those sorts of questions. When you have things under a massive camera like that, and dozens of people studying the dynamics of the collision, eventually when they have one strong enough or want to create one strong enough they will start searching for those sorts of questions. And, that's why that thing scares the Hell out of me.

Anyone asking for missing links should consider chains, the extent of their metaphor.



Are the gaps within the chain missing links or just gaps?

Also lol @ the hippy consciousness particle BS.
