Danke, @eliasp - das fände ich gut. Denn schon (der studierte Theologe) #Darwin vermutete zu Recht: Auch #Religion entstand in der #Evolution. Deswegen rate ich gerade auch jenen, die sich für besonders aufgeklärt halten, zu einer Dosis #Wissenschaft. Auch als Schutz vor #Arroganz. Danke & beste Grüße
The Chinese 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵 "it's not for sale"? That's not a decision that can be made by the lessee! The government can either sell the port as leased, or break the lease (at a cost) and sell it unleased.
The renter 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 gets a say in the sale of a rental.
Australia plans to buy back control of its strategic northern port of Darwin from the current Chinese leaseholder, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/05/asia-pacific/politics/australia-darwin-port-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #australia #china #darwin #anthonyalbanese

Aus meiner Sicht ist erst einmal entscheidend, dass gerade auch wissenschaftlich Denkende akzeptieren: Charles #Darwin hatte Recht - auch die Religiosität ist ebenso wie z.B. die Musikalität ein Ergebnis der #Evolution. Religiöse bilden kooperative Gemeinschaften, die sowohl lebensförderlich wie aber auch gewalttätig werden können. Entsprechend kommt es auch hier auf Dialog, Wissen & dialogischen Monismus an.

Computer simulations suggest that evolution itself could be evolving, depending on environmental pressures, meaning that the processes that change living things get revised as well. @ScienceAlert tells us why “this ain’t over yet.”
Charles Darwin: "I had, also, during many years, followed a golden rule, namely, that whenever a published fact, a new observation or thought came across me, which was opposed to my general results, to make a memorandum of it without fail and at once; for I had found by experience that such facts and thoughts were far more apt to escape from memory than favorable ones."
As quoted in https://fs.blog/charles-darwin-thinker/
"Darwin’s result was due in large measure to his working method, which violated all my rules for misery and particularly emphasized a backward twist in that he always gave priority attention to evidence tending to disconfirm whatever cherished and hard-won theory he already had."
"In contrast, most people early achieve and later intensify a tendency to process new and disconfirming information so that any original conclusion remains intact."
