We need to genetically engineer all apes and monkeys towards human levels of intelligence. It's their only hope for survival and a great hope to change our politics for the better incorporating more of nature into our civilizations.

It's funny how brainwashed most Americans are about this conflict, we might as well as be living in 1984's world. Have you heard the ancient saying one man's freedom fighter, another man's terrorist? What would happen if

You mean the US has been sitting there since the 70s. Trained a bunch of militants there who eventually turned on their colonial masters using them for brute force to fight the Soviets, don't you? The government who hosted the terroris

I rather live in a world where the CCP failed and a bunch of poor people suffered than a world run by the CCP where 1/2 the world is at their mercy. America can be a tyrant but I believe the CCP would be much much worse.
