On Blowhard Individualism

Unknown at The Verma Report - 2 hours ago

He is united in common action with other members of the group—they think that they exist for their own sake, but they exist for the sake of promoting the group’s agenda. To an extent, modern individualism is a farce because most individualists are dissociated from reality; they live in a make-believe world created by their group.

The Genetic Link Between Neanderthals And Modern Africans And Europeans Is Stronger Than Ever

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 5 hours ago
