Evolution is one of the biggest scams EVER. We were created as humans, vastly distinct from animals, and with dominion over the earth. TPTB are trying to place us on the same level as insects, which we are, in their eyes. Harari reckons the Elite (what a repugnant term);are like gods, more creative than the actual Creator, and that they are improving on His creation. It is so risible that I can't help laughing. The created greater than the Creator? Their creation (transhumanism) better than the Creator's blueprint? They have put themselves in direct conflict with God. Their hubris is astonishing.
Yes, we will - a % anyway -survive hyper-novelty and even thrive. The story is cosmic in size, and the changes impossible to really imagine for us and the planet.
I'm incredibly optimistic. Post chaos, a much better, freer planet. Thank you.
I’m not to sure that Brett Weinstein is such a scion of virtue as it relates to a wide variety of topics. Though I find him interesting one should not forget that he was on the mRNA bandwagon when it first rolled out. Only when it became widely apparent that the technology was a bust did he change his tune. Quite frankly a quick bit of research demonstrated how mRNA has never worked… but I digress. My point is anything with his name attached to it is defacto suspect. Proceed with caution. Pax
....how would hairlessness represent an evolutionary advantage? This interesting question is being posed from a position of doubting the veracity of the evolutionary model. Evolution is a fundamental building block for contemporary science. It is considered ridiculous to question evolution, although it has the status of a theory, which means that it is not proven beyond doubt. This fact alone makes it a dogma by nature. Interestingly, when the theory of evolution muscled into prominence, it eclipsed a long philosophical and cosmological enquiry that spanned many centuries, in which various proposals on the origin of species had been presented, considered, perfected, disputed, and sometimes rejected. The Platonic, Neo-Platonic, Aristotelian, and Stoic philosophical traditions all offered solutions to the riddle. In medieval Europe, scholars had settled on a view that individual beings were composed of a material form that is imbued with an immaterial and eternal form. The presence of the Soul, as an intermediary between these two forms, in all species, not only humans, was an essential component for this rendering.
In fact, if we step outside of the echo chamber of European scholarship, and consider what the majority of humanity was thinking, the theory of evolution had no place in the ancient or indigenous cosmologies. Wherever you seek, from Mesopotamia, to Mesoamerica, from Aboriginal Australia to the Ancient world of the Subcontinent, there has always been a creator, and it would make no sense to consider Creation without the source, which could be named or nameless, but which is the originator of all things, from a neutrino to an planet, a bacterium to a crustacean.
If we are determined to keep the concept of the Creator out of the discussion, we must accept the potholed theory of evolution. It is our call. Each one of us must decide for ourselves. There is no scientific certainty on this.
Warning: Somebody is all over these forums, posting SPAM in the form of directing you to some Google site, with lines such as "They are keeping this a secret", "This has been kept from you" and "They hid this from you".

This discussion should be interesting. David Icke's theories, which seemed preposterous to me pre 2020, now make a lot more sense. It would be interesting to get him and Brett Weinstein together. DNA is much more fluid than we imagined. And who knows what all has been slotted into ours and by whom over the ages? I realise we know almost nothing about anything. What we were taught at veterinary school in the 80's is so narrow it's almost laughable.
Dear Tess, it would be better to invite a true yogi, an awakened being to tell you about the subject of evolution or consciousness. What can a man, no matter how brilliant in his field, who is still bound to the material realm, can teach us about something that lies outside this realm? When will humanity realize that by the time anything is manifested in this visible world, it is already too late? It all needs to change at thought level. True evolution is when man is incapable of hurting another being, when he experiences all life as his very Self.
Considering that modern humans have been around something like 200,000 years it does make me wonder what they were doing in all that time before the start of 'civilisation', about 10,000 years ago. They were not technically advanced as archaeology shows (although there are some anomalies), but maybe they had other strengths/knowledge that is now lost (or hidden.)
hi tess of topic i know but it needs to be said..people of the uk be aware theres a petition on the uk parliament petition page..hold a public enquiry into excess deaths..surely after last weeks debate in the uk parliament now is the perfect time so to speak while the iron is hot...if you sign it? be sure to reshare it widely al over the uk with as many like minded people and groups as you possibly can and besure to ask each one of them to do exactly the same although the bridgen debate was seen by many people in the uk on social media as far as im aware there was nothing in the uk media about it its very clear msm dont want the majority of the people of the uk to be aware of the excess deaths issue and so the lie continues and the majority dont have a clue about it.....in closing when resharing the petition be very wary of the censorship gestapo on GESTAPO BOOK
Tess, I don't understand the comment that we would perish at 20 deg celcius in the shade? Does it not depend who you are talking about? My dark skinned friends whom I work with in Nature in Africa in much hotter temperatures would find that a doddle. Even I, a light skinned European descendant would manage it I think. The Naro people in the Kalahari, some of the last true San people, do so anyway, wearing just a few skins. But I agree, most of us, including myself, have become soft.
As far as I know, the most popular theory regarding hairlessnes is that it aided perspiration. It is believed this part of evolution took part in a savannahs environment with little tree cover. Early humans were possibly endurance hunters, tracking down animals over very long time. Most mammals regulate their temperature by panting. We sweat, lack of hair helps evaporation and this makes it a very efficient way of cooling down. Bushman in the south of Afrika still hunt in this way.
I have been thinking about us humans and our current situation as dissolute beings. The escalation over the last 50 odd years to the precipice we now stand on. Where do we go from here … and how do we reverse the trend towards our inevitable extinction in favour of AI. Not a happy place to be but I hope and trust that a solution will arise. Many many thanks

I love Bret Weinstein's clarity, wisdom, and integrity and look forward to hearing what he has to say.

Thank you Tess, Christof and others at WC4H for giving us a Touchstone.
We are at WCH all members of a Sentient Group that know that Real Humanism continues to exist.
May I suggest that 'Touchstone Health' would be a useful subtitle for our WCH Clinical Health efforts at protecting ALL of Humanity.
Best regards,

Can we view this online
Is it possible that 'hairlessness' evolved alongside other advantageous DNA? In other words, hairlessness could just be a bothersome byproduct?
Thank you for your excellent work.
