  1. Merry Christmas, Cynique. I love your mind.
  2. Merry Christmas
  3. I gave you an answer. I ask the librarian they git paid to educate people.
  4. “It’s a horror film [and] I dedicated a lot of myself to create a new horror mythology, a new monster,” Peele said in Los Angeles last week. “I think that monsters and stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths and facing our fears as a society.”
  5. Get a dictionary.
  6. Go to the library.
  7. Whether its a fairy tale myth or allegory it serves the same function. Its a truism housed in a story that is not true. Hopefully that clears it up for you.
  8. @Troy had you heard of Francis Galton before i mentioned him?
  9. Hansel and Gretel is a fairy tale. Its not an actual news story from Germany. It isn't true. However children taking candy from strangers is a bad idea. That is the lesson in a story that's fiction. That is the function of fairy tales. They are fantastic stories that aren't true. Yet they are instructional and illustrate truths. Oedipus Rex is the story about a man who kills his father the king and marries his mother. It is also a Freudian psychological concept.
  10. Perhaps someone else can explain it to you and Troy. I thought my explanation was clear.
  11. Good timing your post arrived one minute after my explanation. Interesting
  12. Pay close attention to the answer Troy I am writing very slowly. A Myth is something true that never happened. So i believe the truth that is revealed, but not the story thay reveals it. So either I am being cryptic or you....
  13. I didn't comment about you accidentally deleting my post. Since you had deleted a clip because you didn't understand why i posted it. And you didn't comprehend my cryptic explanation. Which is interesting, you delete what you don't understand. I will leave that right here.
  14. The Bible is mythology, so its not a simple yes or no answer. Myths never happened but contain truths. @Troy There is a difference betwen me not answering. And you not hearing the answer that you want to hear. You are being to hard on yourself @Troy.
  15. I answered your question before you asked it. And you didn't bother to watch the clip @Troy
  16. Read up on who he is form your own opinion then tell me that he wasn't relevant. Or tell me how genetics and inheriting traits has no bearing in the theory of evolution . Dalton added ti the field of statistics. Perhaps you had a better education than I and you were probaby a better student. So I look forward to your response. I know that you will evade the question. Under some pretext or the other. If you remove math and statistics you have very little science left in any field.
  17. I am not even keen on talking.
  18. I initially was going to answer until i realised it was pointless. Pioneer why di you think Troy didn't understand the answer. Troy in what way wasn't my response not straight forward. Okay i should say even less.
  19. You may want to reacquaint yourself with Francis Galton. Darwin's half cousin and a pioneer in genetics and statistics. February 1822 – 17 January 1911) was an English Victorian era statistician, progressive, polymath, sociologist, psychologist,[1][2] anthropologist, eugenicist, tropical explorer, geographer, inventor, meteorologist, proto-geneticist, and psychometrician. He was knighted in 1909 @Troy
  20. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/22/trump-reportedly-wants-to-fire-fed-chair-powell.html Ah messing with the money will get you turfed.
  21. Why ask for my thoughts when you don't want a dialogue
  22. They could even do that meme with a mirror.
  23. I never said you didn't support her position so why are you saying this? Did you forget to answer @Troy
