What I wonder though is whether it happened in cells, or in something more like free protoplasm, with nuclei or even with free floating stuff that these days we generally only find in nuclei, in protists, or in prokaryotes. @RJDownard @Catheri77148739 @kaakMinde @FearTheSphere_ @NoahPaulLeGies @TakeThatEnglish @AprilLigeia @RosaRubicon @Axel_Sharpshire @orna_verum @ReillyOToole1 @Da_BuDMaN @RalphScenic @GlenSteen @ashuaurora @GregCampNC @Aron_Ra @AtyHans @Dragonblaze @ZenaMOBrien @RanWiz @sallyforthe @ScientiaPercept @WoopsWoah @NoScienceDenial @rkdoctr @RichardDawkins Not expecting @RichardDawkins will actually see this and chime in here, but... it would be cool if he did. :)

Thoughts on precellular biological evolution.

I don't know who might be interested in my thoughts about non-cellular evolution, but consider the "life form" described at 7 minutes and 9 seconds into this video. --- Please continue reading this thread... This is actually very close to the way I figure, and have long figured, life most likely evolved back before it was so complex. When I came across this video, it reminded me very much of some of the ways I have envisioned extremely early Earth life based on my understanding.

☐ The so-called "primaries" and "caucuses" that are held by privately owned political parties are not government elections. In fact, they are not actually elections at all. They're part of a process used to decide who the people CAN & CANNOT vote for in the ACTUAL election.

#BIRNY stands for Balanced Instant Runoff Normalized Yield. It's easy to use & more powerful than #ApprovalVoting, #ScoreVoting & #RankedChoiceVoting, combined. #Birny also allows voting directly for or directly against any number of competing candidates. Continue reading… #BIRNY is a variant of #BRIRES with simple normalization preserving the relative strengths of votes for or against candidates as indicated by the voter. A voter may choose their own scale or vote ranked choice style using fractions or using a balanced ranked choice voting ballot.

A #BRIRE system includes the powers of #ScoreVoting, #ApprovalVoting, #RankedChoiceVoting & more, with balance built-in allowing voters an option of using a #BalancedBallot to cast a true #NegativeVote if they choose a ballot which includes that option. Continue reading… #BRIRES #BRIRES EXPLAINED: A Balanced Rational Instant Runoff Election System (#BRIRES) is much more powerful than the USA's out-dated first-past-the-post system and allows voters to choose a simple ballot to be automatically converted or a #BRIRE ballot to access the full potential.

Introducing, my concept of a People's Primary.

Many people are tired of the political parties having all of the power in the first stage of our elections, here in the USA. If this concerns you, please promote this with the hashtag #PeoplesPrimary and please Continue Reading… We call the process of privately owned political parties using caucuses and primaries a "primary election", but it's not really an election at all. Rather, it's a part of the process by which such privately owned organizations decide who the people can vote for in an election.

If you don't know whether someone prefers the Democrats or Republicans but you know they would prefer to vote independent or third-party, would you rather they vote for whichever big party nominee they prefer, or would you rather they vote for whoever they really want? Please read carefully: Which of these would you be most against someone doing, if you know absolutely nothing about their voting preferences. Would you rather they not for whichever big party nominee they prefer, not vote for whoever they really want, or not abstain from voting?
