If the prime concern is really to feed people them I'm sure we could take away a good amount of land used for producing corn to feed livestock to feed people and just devote it to growing various produce crops to directly feed people.

And what do you know! This is just in time for them to be coming out with their new strains that are resistant to their other herbicide products which are much more potent and environmentally problematic.

The theory of evolution implies no such thing.

Natural selection teaches us no such thing. There are no higher or lower rungs in evolution, there's just adaptability.

I work 40 hours a week in Portland for around $20k, and I have pretty good time. I could only wonder how much fun i could be having making more money and working less hours.

Actually, it would be more like: lately you've been degrading your coordination because of some drug you're taking that you know is bad, but it feels really great so why should you stop? Then someone says you're likely going to trip while walking, and then you try and be more careful while walking, and perhaps stop taking this drug.

Seeing how a lot of kids come out from our teachers, I would say they need to make a bit more progress in machine-guided learning.

I think the feeble mind is the one that ignores an argument, attacks the one making the argument, and repeats the original line of thinking being argued against. The suffix adds plenty to the base word. If the title was just "Resume Continues at Yahoo: Thompson Out as CEO, Levinsohn In" then it wouldn't be clear what was meant. Adding -gate makes it apparent that there was some sort of scandal involving something about a resume. While it's not the only way to express that information it's one that has been adopted as understandable by a large enough population. Also, while it isn't true to what Watergate originally was: It. Doesn't. Matter. Meaning is not static. I would say that it takes a good mind to accept and adapt to the constant changes of language. And even further, you can't nitpick such a thing because you're guilty of it yourself! You used the word "orchestrated" in your post. The earliest origin of the word orchestra was used to refer to the area in a theater where the chorus was positioned. It has nothing to do with your use of it. You still used it fairly successfully though.

Do something more often and your brain will become optimized for it. I think they call it learning.

Maybe we should find some caves and start marking them up with our strange symbols that make up wikipedia articles or something like that.

As I pointed out elsewhere: Once culture became more important to our survival then there were traits that became selective and culture largely defined how we developed biologically, not just our biology defining our culture. And I would even say that environmental factors were more important in our tendency toward culture than our biological makeup.

Actually, the formation of our modern human brains had a lot to do with our adoption of culture. After it became advantageous to have culture then there were particular traits that obviously would've been more selective that would've enhanced culture such as your ability to remember more, use representative language, and just be social in general. So in a way our brains are created by culture, definitely not directly, but we definitely wouldn't be the same without it.

"When Homo sapiens started populating the world, it viciously exterminated its closest relative in the hominid family, Homo neanderthalensis..." If by viciously exterminated you mean viciously had sex with.

This one's not even believable in the least bit. If you're going to do April Fools at least make me wonder if it's true or not.

People would want to live in this relatively crime free area until they find out that something they do behind closed doors is considered by someone else, immoral, a crime, undesirable.
