    Oh yes it does, because Three Stooges slapstick obeys well known mathematics. Academics can act indignant all they want, but their own evidence condemns them.

    this statement is both false, misleading, and inaccurate. and now you've introduce "academics", which has nothing to do with science nor people doing science outside of 'academy".

    this still shows no evidence linking the pursuit of objective knowledge, to the self serving abuse of that knowledge,
    leading to human and other sentient suffering and the degradation of the environment of planet earth.

    (which as a just by the way, the romanticizing and rewarding of aggressiveness, whether for 'religious', political, or any other excuse, does)

    If splitting semantic hairs is the best you can do, I suggest applying for a government job.

    if a redwood tree is a hair. a big enough one to hide your efforts to misrepresent objective knowledge to make biased points totally lacking in logic or validity behind.
    taking lessons from the chump in the oval office are we? using the slight of hand of misdirection to change a subject the ego objects answering honestly?
    if one introduces "hairs" that big, one can always chop them up and use them for wood in the fireplace.

    i think politico-'religious' spin doctoring is tiring for humans being harassed by honesty being obscured by it.

    if hatred of logic were not the motivation, what then else?

    Classical logic and physics are turning out to be tautological and self-contradictory. I know that sounds strange, but I've only been saying it for about 12 years now. They become horribly inefficient and ultimately useless, because they ultimately represent our mortal fallibility.

    pot calling kettle black much? still blaming the messenger for the message with no rational for doing so.
    granted useful knowledge could not be abused if it did not exist. soooo, you want there to not be houses?

    non-sequiter arguments kinda look a lot like squirming.

    which has precisely what to do with anything being discussed?

    fascism disguised as religious belief is tiring to the soul of anyone who is honest with themselves.
    and this is supposed to have something to do with the wings of migratory foul?

    To comprehend the answer, you must first meditate upon the sublime Lime Jell-O.

    lime jell-o is a pretty color. still waiting for an answer of any kind to any question asked.
    to comprehend an answer, there needs to be one. this has yet to occur.

    Most birds you hear in summer have young birds in summer. This keeps them busy and that is tiring. But the flight to their winter destination is of course even more tiring. I often wonder why they keep flying to the other side of the globe like every fucking year...! There often is a closer destination to get through winter just fine. Instincts? Some route fixed in their dna or something?

    Birds can sense the ley lines, or "energy grid" or whatever you want to call it that surrounds the earth... For them it's a navigational tool. It is a DNA ingrained instinct that makes them do it. The grid shows them how to get there.

    You do realize that birds and seasons have been around before you even existed right? I have never heard of animal question it's own Existence or purpose. They do what they do.

    Only human are too busy trying feel things that no one ever told them about, or to concern themselves about.

    Have you stop to wonder about the people who are starving? Being raped, or dying of diseases?

    But the birds...they are so much more important. I wonder what bird cares about you?

    Some birds here have stopped their migration habits just over the last several years. It's not because it's now "warm all winter" because if anything it's been harsher climate around here. I don't know what the reasoning would be. One the American Robin has had to find a different food source too, no worms in frozen soil... Weird. Their migration used to be such that there was some old saying about "The first Robin of spring"... Now they stay all winter.

    The American Crow stopped migrating years ago and switched over to "roosting" locally or just staying in the same location all year. By staying in one location now they have two broods per year instead of the normal one brood...

    Actually... the more spare time we have the more we conjure up trivial thoughts and alternative ideas and philosophies.

    That's intriguing stuff. The swallows in my parents barn had at least 2 this summer too. Although we had several diff nests, seems the offspring of last year brood in there too but in diff nests (whole barn is covered in bird shit, last nest/batch finally left a week ago).
