Рыцари Свободы (fka трамповата) за политику Лживого Хуйла

A majority of Republicans support the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents when they are caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a Quinnipiac University poll found.

Republican voters support the policy 55 to 35 percent, according to the poll released on Monday.

They are the only listed party, gender, education, age or racial group to support the policy, according to Quinnipiac.

Similar to the DACA situation, the Лживойе Хуйло administration treats migrant children as hostages in the border wall legislation battle with the Democrats. The policy is rationally cruel, which makes it look particularly ugly from the outside.

Overall, it's remarkable how much damage our so-called president does to America's brand around the world.

TIL: Second-order Darwin machines

Second-order Darwin machines are systems within living organisms that themselves incorporate or deploy the same generate-test- regenerate principle.

One essential second-order Darwin machine is the human immune system. Since it cannot predict exactly which pathogens individuals will happen to meet in their lifetimes, especially as bacteria and viruses evolve so fast, it generates a massive array of possible antibodies. Only when the environment tests positive, when antibodies meet pathogens they can fit and therefore dis- arm, are they selected for massive short-term regeneration.

Another second-order Darwin machine is the human brain. Since evolution cannot predict in advance exactly what environments human brains will meet, brains begin by generating in infants more neural connections than they need, then testing them by experience, strengthening (regenerating) those interconnections that have been used, and killing off those that have not.
