Comment Re:my experience among the apes (Score 0) 202

Unfortunately to an extent your former roommate was correct; that having personal ethical/moral guidelines generally does reduce the amount of money one can rake in and attacking those who do have and advocate for morals in society to discredit them is one way to help secure that income stream.

Right now we seem to be living in an era when the amoralistic are generally winning, they've convinced millions upon millions of people to embrace their selfishness. But this only works out for a subset of those trying to practice it, particularly when they aren't smart enough to understand when they're easily manipulated by those who are much more experienced or are good at motivational speaking to compel the listener. Those late to the party end up going against their own interests to support those they idolize to their own detriment.

Comment It's hogwash -- they survived comets and worse (Score 0) 19

Corals have been around for several hundred million years. They survived the comet which killed off the dinosaurs. They survived ice ages and glaciations, the most recent being a 400-500 foot sea level rise just 10-15,000 years ago. They routinely bleach themselves while shifting populations of the critters which give them color.

We puny humans are no threat to corals.
