Now I have the feeling we are all parrots of the internet nailed to the pole of TET as part of the biggest corporate scheme ever to fool Max Berry into thinking he has a working forum.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I've just finished watching Mussolini's most famous speech, "Vinceremo". It's astonishing how he uses the same terms as modern-day socialists; "the West", "reactionary", "proletarian", "revolution". I know fascism has its roots in syndicalist movements, but the fact the fact the their rhetoric is virtually the same as the socialists' is jaw-dropping.
