And here I was thinking I watch too much tv... evidently I don't watch nearly enough to translate the concept of deus ex machina into a real world proxy called "the trickster" it seems. However, if all this pissing in your personal sandbox is just too irritiating Chris, perhaps you should just...

All I'm saying is that that is not the impression one gets from listening to the show. Didn't you just said "so have countless other human beings for thousands of years."? How's that "new" exactly? I'm glad you put belief in quotes at the start there because it illustrates a key...

"up2speed"? This isn't twitter, you can write complete words here. My complaint wasn't leveled specifically at you Chris, just at the idea of the Trickster in general but if you insist on taking it personally and think it's so very unreasonable then enlighten me, when have you EVER run across...

You'll be waiting a while, I fear. Around here you'll also find that "open minded" tends to mean "uncritical". I don't really have a beef with Vallee, I tend to regard him more as an explorer of ideas than a outright researcher, the difference being researchers have an aim. I think however...

I don't think you missed it, as far as I can tell no such comment thread exists. Seems to be a trend lately, the okay-good shows don't generate discussion, only the very bad or very good shows. Oh hey Chris about your book, I was wondering if maybe having the word "stalking" in the title...

I always find the economic gripes about space exploration hilariously ironic. How much gold and platinum and other precious metals do you suppose there are on Mars? Or just floating around in the asteroid belt? Now imagine folding them into our present economy and the vast depreciation that...

What you just said: What you originally wrote: Such a shame that email notifications don't recognize your edits. Again, I hold the mirror up to reflect the true you. Spare me your disingenuous smiley face "bless you" bullshit. ---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post...

The inherent hypocrisy in that statement is frankly, STAGGERING. I'm literally stunned. I suppose I could compile a list of your own posts that reflect the EXACT things you accuse me of here but it would be a waste of my time and you still wouldn't get it. Wow, man. Just WOW. If you never read...

Given your arguments are toothless, I wouldn't expect you to. But you read my post which means it's in your brain and thus you will think about it, even if only for a split second, so my work is done.

Meaning what, exactly? That everyone's hands are dirty and therfore all should be absolved? Isn't that like having the mafia acquit the yakuza of criminal activity?

And the white indians that aren't really indians, they were hebrews except of course that the hebrews being middle eastern weren't white either. Or something. Yeah...

Not quite. As I recall, Whites chose to follow God's teachings, those who rejected God to follow Satan became demons and those who refused to go in either camp were "cursed" with dark skin. . It's the typical sort of unscientific nonsense that one finds in ANY religious belief system. If...

And your responses are as charming and well thought out as ever. Have you ever considered actually responding to a post instead of just being a dick? Try it sometime, it might be fun.

Not really. Darwinism is at least based on something testable, not on middle-eastern fairy tales. Science is science and faith is faith. If what the science is telling you conflicts with your faith well then that's your problem, not the data's.

Because Walter is awesome.

Everyone does. That camera probably had a variable shutter mode too. If she'd have just taken a moment to up the frame rate we might have actually SEEN something.

He was doing fine with me until he started leaning on the mormonism. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he discussed the effort made to reconcile what he was finding in his research with what his faith taught him but IMHO you should really just leave that stuff at the door when you start looking into...

Maybe it's just refridgerators made before a certain year but my freezer does have a light in it. It does make a world of difference. Also as someone who was formerly employed a a house painter I assure you pants can and will get dirty eventually.

I would consider it a sign of what I considered the episode to be: middle of the road. Nothing so ridiculous as to invite scorn but nothing so spectacular as to demand praise.

Ooooh, two-for-one mockery, nice work Aaron!
