https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/28/economy/trump-wall-street-taco-trade-nastiest-question TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out That's the latest buzz in the news as POTUS OJ flip flops on his threats and negotiations. The whole tariff thing is all over the place. Hard to keep track of the percentage countries are expected to pony up. The war between Russia-Ukrainian is ongoing despite POTUS OJ claiming it would be over in 1 day once he took office. There's 3.5 years for POTUS OJ to deliver on the promises he's made to his base. Right now, the clown and his circus are still in full effect.

The books claim dinosaurs roamed the Earth for about 165 millions and went extinct about 66 million years ago. The books claim earliest hominids showed up on the planet about 7 million years ago. The math suggests there is a 59 million year gap between the extinction of dinosaurs and the earliest ancestors of humans. In another thread, brotha @frankster mentioned there could still be dinosaurs among us today. Fossil fuels don't count because they're definitely not the remnants of dinosaurs. I look forward to our brotha frankster and anyone else with the knowledge providing enlightenment on where we might find dinosaurs.

Bro, that's material for a whole new thread. You cannot just do drive-by claiming dinosaurs might still be here.

No semantics. There's a huge difference between a PhD and a MD. Credentials can be bought. I have no reason to play games. You're certainly entitled to your opinion and assumption too. Bottom line is that I don't believe everything I see, hear or read regardless of who wrote it. I'm entitled to that as well.

Cool. I look forward to the books being updated to include the heart is a mini-brain with emotions and memories. People claim to be heart-broken when a relationship goes sour. Miraculously, that same heart seems to repair itself as soon they start bumping uglies with someone else. I cannot speak for anyone else but I know for a fact that my heart doesn't have any emotions. H8ll, my brain hardly has any either.

Surely, modern medicine has advanced to the point where a Black man was able to perform the 1st open heart surgery. The basic function of the heart remains unchanged. IMO, I neither dodged the question nor was I being intellectually dishonest. I was referring to someone doing a study. A PhD isn't the same as an MD. You've added heart surgeon to the dialog. Apples and oranges mayne.

Right. Nothing has changed otherwise. I look forward to hearing that what we know about the heart has been updated based on this study.

My opinion or belief in heart function is commonly shared by the medical establishment over a couple hundred years. A PhD studying heart function doesn't know too much more than the doctors who preceded them. In fact, many highly educated folks have been *wrong* about all kinds of stuff. That's why we don't know how the steel was distributed down the Twin Towers. Otherwise, due to the nature of how we credentialize folks, I would not expect anyone to value my opinion over a PhD in heart study.

Correct. Not a complete waste of time. It gives people something to do. Right. We're all entitled to our opinions even from the peanut gallery.

To the extent that both are written by humans. Anything man writes without verifiable facts is subject to interpretation. There's no shortage of studies that don't prove or solve anything. Just words on a paper. Like a thesis or dissertation. I'm 100% certain that this study won't move the needle in terms of our understanding as it relates to heart function. Let me know when textbooks are rewritten to include this heart as a mini-brain. An old book of fairy tales written by scholars that people choose to believe is a manifesto for how humans should live as inspired by the Supreme Being. Books and studies are great reading material. Better time sink than less constructive behaviors. Sometimes reading can inspire people to make more money or improve their own lives or treat each other better. Hopefully the heart study will yield tangible significance in one way or another.

My full chest assertion is that Latinos would be making their voices heard in every possible way...news outlets, TV programs, marches and protests, etc. Using their platforms to correct that narrative. As you all have alluded, maybe Latinos who have *made it* here are perfectly fine with their less fortunate folks being rounded up and booted out of the country.

Right. I don't see Latinos mass protesting that mischaracterization of their people compared to how often the rhetoric comes from the current administration.

It's hard for me to believe that after reading one study anyone would change their mind about heart function. I'd like to see the evidence of how they know for a fact that traits and memories move from one person to another. it's easy for people to believe anything written. Case in point is the bible. Maybe so. There is a point in life where old dogs stop chasing cars.

The operative word is study. One after another. No definitive facts. Just looking at the same thing from another angle...maybe.

The study is neither right or wrong or misleading. It is basically a collective opinion of the authors. Nothing provable via scientific method. When the definition of a heart changes from muscle to mini-brain...it will be front page news. Every textbook will have to be rewritten too.

Yep. I read the linked scientific study. Just like a Masters thesis or PhD dissertation...the study was merely an exercise in musing that the heart could have a mini-brain and/or transfer feelings and emotions toba recipient. It doesn't. The heart is just a muscle. No more or less.

Interesting that neither group does much of anything to fix or solve the problems within their home countries and/or communities. Instead, these same people flee into the arms of the oppressors who created the conditions that led to *bad* people Among their own group. The current administration is in the process of cutting the strings that allowed non-white folks to feel like they were a part of the program. Let's see how Latinos, tethers, bootlicks and sellouts feel when even if over-qualified for a job, loan or something else...they're denied access just because they're not white.

You didn't mention a conspiracy/theory. If/when we are believe an issue orproblem deserves wider attention, we have to make a lot of noise and/or be in a position to elevate it.

Diddy's trial probably won't show up on local news but cable outlets are covering it.

They will be welcoming with open arms as long as you bring that bag of US money.

This is why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accepted the Secretary of Health and Human Services job. He has moved from conspiracy theorist to having an opportunity to influence policy and decisions on everything from mandatory vaccines to the chemicals being used in products. Doesn't seem to be an issue or problem to the most powerful people on the planet. They have moved on from the 9/11 collapse. Many skyscrapers have been built over the past 24 years too. Folks still live, work and play in those buildings.

Younger men get a pass for the 1st marriage being based on those physical traits. The head scratcher is when older dudes are still falling for and marrying women for physical appeal versus status, financial, companionship, etc. Right. I'm referring to successful 2nd marriages. Not the can't get right marriages where people marry for the same stupid reasons as mentioned above. The sooner we teach folks that marriage should be a functional arrangement i.e. business-like, with clearly defined expectations and goals, they might be more *successful* on several levels.

I find it interesting that Latinos do not defend themselves against that mischaracterization. Neither Latino men nor women come out with a full chest to say...that's not who we are as a people. They remain radio silent as their brothers are demonized and rounded up by the current administration.

The heart is a muscle with the sole purpose of pumping blood throughout our bodies. The brain made up of 60% fat is the super-computer running the whole show. When the heart shuts down, the brain is still processing for a few minutes. OK. I'll sit back and continue to enjoy the tennis match. Carry on fellas.

I enjoy tennis match between my brothas @Pioneer1 and @frankster as they go back and forth in a thread. As I've mentioned before, as long as humans can procreate and reproduce among themselves regardless of race (color), they are genetically the same. The color differences defined as race are for social, political and economic reasons. I'm perfectly fine with delineation. My biggest concern is how do Black folks move up from the bottom of the totem pole. White folks aren't going to just give Black folks a fair seat at the table of power.
