NY Times: A pox on early man for inventing fire, which has led to global warming and sexism

    3 Share Tweet Pin Plus

The New York Times has published a science article lamenting that the invention of fire, a critical development for early humanity, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be because it’s also to blame for causing global warming and “the patriarchy.”

“First We Made Fire!,” roars the headline for the piece, published Friday afternoon. “But It May Have Come With Some Downsides.” A tweet touting the piece notes that, while fire is great and all, it also paved the way for smoking thousands of years later.

They want us to fear fire, just like the stupid and evil morlocks in H. G. Wells Time Machine. They want us to be ashamed of our superiority over the animals. They want real, affirmative equality of the species.

Man didn't invent fire - God did.

And without fire, the NYT would not be there to spew such nonsense.
And without fire, I would wager that a very large percentage of the folks reading NYT would die an ugly death.

...Understanding how humans might have uniquely adapted to the risks from exposure to fire may have implications for how scientists think about medical research, Dr. Wrangham said. Other animals that didn’t evolve around fire, for instance, may not be the best models for studying how we process food or detoxify substances.

One example, he suggests, is the study of acrylamide, a compound that forms in foods during frying, baking or other high-temperature cooking. When given to lab animals in high doses, acrylamide has been shown to cause cancer. But so far, most human studies have failed to link dietary acrylamide to cancer.

“People keep ‘wanting’ to find a problem for humans,” Dr. Wrangham said, but there’s “nothing obvious at all.”...

This and the part about airborne diseases is interesting.

Yup. While they can't figure out what the stuff between legs mean.
Mixed-race Mutt.
Your racist accusations are invalid.

Start thinking Constitutionally and stop thinking in groups.

Liberals deny science with virtually everything related to humans. (1) They deny the existence of human nature. (2) they deny innate differences between males and females and (3)  they deny the physical and mental differences between the various  groups of humans who populate the earth other than skin color.
They do all this while asserting that humans are animals like all other species of mammals. But while they acknowledge the differences in physical characteristics and intelligence between non-human animals and the existence of animal instinct, they claim all humans are exactly the same and have no innate, heritable intelligence or physical characteristics other than differences in skin color..
Liberals love to brag about the supposed high IQs of some members of their group while denying IQ differences exist between different groups of humans.  The same people who brag about liberals with high IQs will try to get off criminals because supposedly their IQs are too low. This while claiming IQ scores only show how well some people take tests.
Which is it libs? There is no such thing as IQs or your heroes' IQ scores are meaningless and IQ scores can't be used to get criminals off?

In short, liberals are lunatics.

Without fire, Man would not have survived.

H.Erectus was more fit to live in a fire-free world.  Even the Great Apes had a better chance.

This is the kind of nonsense that college sophomores babble after a night of cheap beer and expensive Colombian Gold.  Which I suspect is the problem there...drug use and mental illness.

We are headed for a Great Reset.

Happened to the Romans, too.  And it appears the Higher Power used the worshippers of Satan, whom they call Allah...those were used to smite, terrify, enslave, regress the descendants of the hubris-filled Romans.

Literacy almost disappeared.  Famine, disease, and short lifespans were the rule.  Almost primal terror...both of the Moslem hordes and of their own princes and self-styled kings.

Now we have more terrifying weapons.  I wonder if Man, our line, will survive.  If not, it would not be the first dead-end...Cro-Magnon was before his time, too.

Since it is believed the first people originated in Africa, it follows that the black man is responsible for all the evils in the world.  This guy is an absolute racist but too incompetent to know it.  :whistle:

OK, I'm just not getting this in reading the original article.  Something is lost in the translation.

It is hard to overstate the intentional stupidity of supposedly educated people who have nonetheless managed to turn themselves into drooling idiots.

Fire originated at the time of universal formation. When man came about, he learned to use, understand and control it, which was a pretty good thing, considering that fires precipitated by lightning strikes used to consume entire forests before man was there to stop them, adding vast quantities of carbonaceous compounds to the atmosphere. 

"Sexism" on the other hand, did not arise until it was conceived by Progressives as yet another means of politicizing human relationships in a way that both denied gender-based human differences and demanded forcible state intervention in the service of ideological preferences. 

Our civilization has devolved to the point where knowledge once common has been lost, as our intellectual, cultural and educational establishments have abandoned their traditional roles in the pursuit of power and in fealty to their ideological masters.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Education is not intellect.  And credentialing, that is, rubber-stamping "students" as having completed the coursework requirements, is neither.

And that is where we are at today - the Elite Class, both in politics and their cover-force in media, are credentialed Useful Idiots.  They're happily being used by backstage power-players in the International Left...Soros foremost...to promote chaos, fear, social schism and destruction of cultural institutions.  The better that the fearful, disoriented peons prostrate themselves before government.

This is part of it...but I wonder if they misjudge how stupid are even Slimes readers.  Someone dull enough to believe this, isn't going to be reading anything more challenging than Penthouse or High Times.
