Comment Positive Globalism .. the only way forward (Score 1) 7

I agree that nations are a necessary inconvenience at this time since some people's cultures are whack (some examples: people from India need improvements in food hygiene -- a healthy fear of bacteria is needed, muslims need anger management and education to respect women's choices, blacks need to control their emotions and be more considerate of others, whites need to stop being racist, asians need to stop being hive-minded and come up with their own inventions etc.) , but eventually we need to be fully globalist. Nations should not be necessary. I'll go further, and say logically there is only one correct culture and we should all be that. We, humanity, needs to be moving towards single secular world government. Tribalism is forever unstable. We need a world government by the year 2150 or the planet, and by that time its space colonies too, are doomed.

What the heck kind of unscientific baloney is that? Crabs, like all crustaceans, have a nervous system. They have pain receptors, they have opiod receptors, and exhibit avoidance learning.

How many actual science articles you need on this? Where are your references/actual studies? The rail behavior you described, if true could be explained many ways. And btw I checked the typical temperature during migration, it's typically between 76 to 82F .. so not that hot.

So the immune system of the human body has balance two risks.

1. It is so weak that merely any virus that can defeat it.
2. It is so "strong" that it triggers on the most benign thing (autoimmunity, allergies).

When you have everything under surveillance it's easier to make an error about something's intent. Remember in the 1983 we almost had nuclear war break out because the Russian early warning system mistook a flock of geese for an incoming missile. There was a similar narrow escape in 1962. Both incidents averted because a human took a chance and made the right decision under enormous pressure.
