Dear MAGA: 20260305 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

Enjoy the first set of Thursday trinkets for March!


(1) Fake Feynman AI does a nice job here of being our Silicon Steve – explaining why [probably] Venus rotates BACKWARDS relative to the other planets of the solar system.

Watch for the typographical errors by the writing AI, which get sucked up into face-palm narration by the vocalization AI. It’s just stupid and cringe. Nevertheless, the science is good.


(2) An interesting chess rematch narrated by DrMike – check it out.


(3) Transitional hominin species Homo habilis gets a new set of skeletal remains, confirming the earlier ones, and our favorite junior anthropologist (Erika, a.k.a. Gutsick Gibbon) summarizes both the background science and the new paper on the new find. The real science can be a bit boring, but that’s often definitive for real science.


(4) Reaction video to (IMO) one of the best live rock performances from back in the mid-70s – by that band called Rush.

Yes, it’s annoying that she keeps interrupting the good parts, so here it is without interruption.

And if you’d prefer a shorter version with video, we have that, too!


(5) OK, how about more Rush, but with a SuSE twist? You may have heard this parody before, but it’s worth a listen to appreciate how well it’s re-done here.


(6) This is ….. different. An AI, heavy metal version of “The Old Rugged Cross”.


(7) You know, I think I’ll stick to the calming versions of these hymns!


OK, that does it. Enjoy your weekend!

Here we go again! Thankful Thursday!


(1) Infinity, like AI, is causing problems again. Let “Purple-Haired Geek Chick” try to get you to care!


(2) Time for the companion to a previous video. This time: men’s hobbies that WOMEN LIKE. Maybe. Not always. But often. Whatever.


(3) Was that too simpy? Then listen to this young white gal, who (while working in Hollyweird) saw the insanity of DEI, and now sees the radicalization of young white men by DEI. There’s a sign of hope in her conclusion.


(4) OK – you need this! THE BEST video on GREENLAND that you will find on the internet. No clickbait, no AI, no bullshit. Just the facts, and images that actually match the conversation. This is all the background you need, to figure out why Trump is acting NOW.


(5) Erika (a.k.a. Gutsick Gibbon) just put out her 4th teaching video with TFE organizer and evolution skeptic Will Duffy – this one is about the age of the Earth. Yeah, it’s over 4 hours long, but if you’re looking for a background lecture, this has some interesting stuff. Check it out!


(6) How about a jazzy, rockin’ hymn? This will put you in a good mood!


Have a great weekend!

Dear KMAG: 20251215 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic + Hanukkah 2025


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

kerasine

adjective

  • horny
  • made of horn
  • resembling horn
  • corneous
  • not to be confused with kerosene

Used in a sentence

Unlike the cheap plastic shofars he had seen in the kiddie bargain bin, the kerasine nature of these authentic ones appealed to him immediately.

Shown in a picture

Blowing Horn, also somewhat usable as a Powder Horn or Shofar

Shown in a video


MUSIC!

No horns in this one!

And no AI on this one!


THE STUFF

Unlike certain enemies of God, YOU don’t have a tail – or at least not much of one.

There’s a good hypothesis of exactly how (genetically) and why (behaviorally and evolutionarily) it happened.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07095-8

This explainer is powerful, making very understandable the link between tail loss and other differences between humans and apes and/or monkeys. And not only is the “genetic clock” consistent with what we know – this hypothesis almost certainly explains other inherited traits which come from similar larger patterns in DNA, and not from smaller base-pair mutations.

And – drum roll – they got (ethically, using mice) confirmation in a lab. Yes. Really.

And what does my friend, Doubting Tom-Cat, think?

Suspicious!

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

cataclasm

noun

  • disruption
  • breaking down or asunder
  • alternative spelling of cataclysm

Used in a sentence

Cataclasm doesn’t always mean the same thing as cataclysm.

Shown in a picture – kinda

Context: music production – https://www.dawnation.net/cataclasm

Used as an album title of a song in a video


MUSIC!

Gothic Epic music – song called Cataclasm


THE STUFF

I had an epiphany watching the following video.

See if I can help you see it, too.

The problem with evolution is that it’s like quantum mechanics. Despite being powerful, explanatory and extremely predictive, it is both “incomplete” and has “interpretations”.

The interpretations carry baggage designed to shape worldview beyond what the science itself can say. And they also influence what the science can say easily, and what it has to say with more difficulty.

When Veritasium Dude (Derek Muller) sighs and gives in to Dawkins’ “selfish gene” idea, he is really giving in to an interpretation. That interpretation, like any interpretation in quantum mechanics, highlights some aspects of the science more than others. I can formulate the exact same science – even the same math – as the “sharing/shared gene” interpretation. Or, to name it a bit more objectively, the network interpretation of evolution.

The fact is, Dawkins formulated evolution in a way – an interpretation – that would best sell his bias toward his own atheistic assumptions about the universe. He asserts that every gene number “n” in a larger population “m” is composed of a bunch of selfish “1”s. I can likewise assert that “n” is a metric of collaborative, shared success within “m”, orienting its unit members not only toward their own shared success, but also toward the goal of influencing larger system success, struggling toward the unity of perceiving and becoming one with the creative intelligence. And it’s the same math.

It’s an interpretation.

Dawkins knows that humans tend to see the gene as microscopic and less than the individual – but it’s just as valid to see the gene as a topological connection – a filament uniting individuals, not just through gene space, but through function space. I would allege that this alternative network interpretation shows more, deeper, and larger subtleties of evolution, including causation, anthropological history, and gradients in the development of intelligence.

The individualization of the gene is an excellent and useful approximation, but one that hides some of the gene’s most fascinating potentials, as a shared entity.

And as explained in the video, it all boils down to the mathematics…..created IN THE BEGINNING.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

More Temu trinkets from video world. Skip over as many as you must!


(1) Explosives. Instantly reducing people to…… crumbs? Not vapor? Or is this “AND logic”?


(2) Have you ever wanted to go back to high school biology class? You won’t after this video! It’s CRINGE vs. CRINGE! Skip if you don’t want to enjoy the CRINGE!


(3) Try a different chess brain from my usual guy. This one does a deep dive into a SCANDAL of the chess world during this fascinating analysis of psychological war between top chess players.

The TL;DR – the world’s best player TOYS with the guy who made bogus accusations of computer-backed cheating at the top of chess world, by making a bunch of TROLL moves that a computer would NEVER recommend, and still beating him bloody!


(4) How about a TREEHOUSE DUDE who’s not Sundance? Check out “Mystery Treehouse” on the topic of the band Boston / the nerd Tom Scholz.


(5) Wanna talk back to those douchebags and cat-ladies who say that the Southwest UNITED STATES was stolen from MEH-HE-CO? Here you go – some fascinating history.


OK – that’s enough! Have a great weekend!

Another mixed bag of TREATS! Three ladies who are NOT Obama’s “Furies”! And a small subterranean mammal that is NOT a rodent!


(1) I remember when I first heard this stuff, too! “Who is this band? Where have they BEEN?”


(2) Human anthropology. Complicated. Again. Even when it’s not really THE NEXT BIG THING.


(3) This may seems complicated, but it boils down to “chicken and egg” – and you know the rest!


(4) It’s MOLE DAY. October 23. And Mole Minute is 6:02 AM. Enjoy the moment!

A mole is basically the ratio between number of atoms and the weight of stuff. The units are “per mole” or /mole.

6.02 x 10^23 (six point zero two times 10 to the 23rd power), or……

602,214,076,000,000,000,000,000

As explained here…..

https://www.moleday.org

The mole number is arbitrary – it is not set by nature. It was chosen to make our chosen units of laboratory weights (grams) align with the numbers of protons and neutrons in the various atoms. E.g., so that one mole of hydrogen atoms weighed roughly a gram, and one mole of carbon atoms weighs roughly 12 grams. We could have English moles, Imperial moles, or even Star Trek Federation moles using some different standard of weight.

One way to think about this, is that a few grams of stuff (say, 56 grams of iron) is a little over a mole of it, meaning just over six hundred sextillion atoms.

Given that there are an estimated 10^80 atoms in the universe, a mere 10^23 atoms is just ONE 10^57th of it.

That’s 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of the universe. That’s not much.

That’s enough for today. Have a great weekend!

A selection of interesting tidbits!


(1) Check out our sister planet! She’s HOT!


(2) And speaking of HOT, so is Alexandra Botez Magnus Carlsen in this heavily handicapped chess match!


(3) What happens when you take a “Grumpy Cat” subject (evolution) and a “Suspicious Cat” subject (artificial intelligence), mix them together, and put them under both a clickbait / narcissist title and a slightly misleading caption?

Well, just turn up the patience and discernment, and listen past all that stuff.

The basic point – evolution is an intelligent process that learns and remembers, and adapts life to whatever circumstances it can.

Or as I would put it, not only is the universe pro-life and pro-intelligence – mathematics itself and reality itself are, too.

It’s almost as if things were made that way.

JUST SAYIN’!

Grab your popcorn, my fellow “anti-intellectuals”!

A special treat for us “science deplorables” who are arriving as barbarians at the gate, questioning the leftist sacrament of peer review!

Watching scientific peer review being demoted from censorious gatekeepers, back to “free speech” standards for both authors and critics, is truly enjoyable here.

(Just watch from 11:00 to around 20:00 if you want the part about peer review. If you want the full brutal fight in evolution, that is 2 1/2 hours long, beginning to end!)

But wait! There’s more! Evolution is having a food fight!

Likewise, many of us hillbillies who have always thought “hey, that prehistoric ape can’t be fully human” will enjoy watching this fight within evolution, in which a bunch of us evolutionists cry out either “hey, that dubious ape-like member of genus Homo likely didn’t practice burial and art” or “hey, let this guy prove his case” or even “hey, I need more popcorn!”

Seriously, I’m not sure which side I’m on with these papers – probably all three! But notice how evolutionists are now free to have a public dispute over edgy (and possibly wrong) science. “Decorum” is no longer the top priority, and “unity in the face of critics” is no longer the “stop vaccine hesitancy at all costs” of paleoanthropology.

I’m impressed. Trump is fixing things even more than I thought! And I’m giving Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. some credit, too!

Ah, yes. The clutching of pearls by all involved in academia is most satisfying!


In other news….. there is a LOT of WINNING.

Have a wonderful 4th of July, people! Patriots ARE in control, and this is exactly what we prayed for – AND voted for!

Yes, our prayers were answered, and I ask all of you this 4th of July to be thankful for what has transpired.

If you are a believer like me, I ask that you earnestly give thanks to God for our deliverance from leftist insanity.

We are undeserving, we must try to be more deserving. Reach out with the Good News – let people know why you are thankful! Let this Fourth also be another Thanksgiving – for the blessings we have received – and for the patriots who helped this winning happen!

God bless you all!

God bless President Trump!

Dear MAGA: 20250529 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.


If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

A Tab-Clearing Selection of Videos

OK, people, listen up.

I have collected WAY too many videos in my tabs, with the intent of using one every week in the Monday open thread. The trouble is, I collect them much faster than I am using them.

Well, I’m going to FLUSH some of them. Right now. And every week. Until I have a more manageable number.

Find what you like – play what you like – ignore the rest.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

(1) The Nancy Mace Allegations

Nancy Mace makes explosive allegations on the floor of the House. Go to 19:00 minutes where it begins (it should be queued up).


(2) Einstein, Emmy Noether, and General Relativity

Is Veritasium a heavy metal? If so, I maintain that it is still good for you! This is fascinating history about Einstein, even if you ignore the science. It’s basically about a woman mathematician who came up with some math and science that saved Albert’s butt!


(3) Barbara Corcoran On Donald Trump

I’m not saying she’s right about WHY Trump is the GOAT, but she is right THAT Trump is the GOAT, and her little story here is fascinating. You’ve seen this before – still – worth another watching!


(4) The World’s Dumbest Calculator For Pi

This is actually kinda cool, but in the end, you will feel the dumbness, and it burns! “Moar Maker Madness!”


(5) Pyromaniacs, Clickety-Clacks, and the Thermite Welding of Railroad Tracks

Veritasium with all the fireworks and none of the equations. OK, maybe just a few equations. But still, it’s all worth it. Enjoy!


Stay tuned for the next five tabs to escape though this page!
