It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Like this guy, Sadio Mane. He built a school, a post office a hospital in his village. https://www.sportschaplaincy.co.nz/newsa...Id=1588809 https://www.theguardian.com/football/202...-liverpool

Zuckerberg has always been disliked by most who came across him even in his college days when he set up Facebook.
He has been accused of being an Alien in disguise (a joke of course, but pointed) He's always been a ruthless businessman like MicroSofts original leader, Bill Gates, but of course these days Bill Gates is very generous with grants etc.

Not worried about the environment either hey heisenberg, I guess God must be taking care of you and thus by extension all of us.

the Cardinals going into conclave are going to be mightily disappointed to hear this when they get done...

We are an accident zqwerty. A fluke of chemistry and energy. But, as energy is never lost, only transformed, hope remains...

Yes I guess so, then who is looking after the Earth and protecting it from the billions of people now doing whatever they like to the ecosystem. Once upon a time there were far fewer people and it wasn't such a worry.
Is it just a fast train ride to hell and inevitable that any intelligent species faces this challenge and non succeed in beating it because after all we haven't been visited by space faring aliens so far as we know? Also known as the great filter.
