  ISIS Claims Blame for Terror Attack in Iran - Analysis source: Megatron While I am very convinced that this is the work of the Mossad, as part of the current psychological and limited war between Iran and Israel, this admission by ISIS is another indication of who ISIS is and who created it. ISIS is an Israeli-American product, which served to destabilize the Muslim states around Israel that posed a threat to Israel. ISIS never attacked Israel, and was mostly armed with Israeli and American-made weapons. While ISIS was rampaging through Syria and Iraq and waging a fierce war against the forces of Assad and Hezbollah (Israel's greatest enemy), the Israeli Air Force regularly and fiercely bombarded Assad and Hezbollah positions, literally providing air support to ISIS. And now in the most heated times between Iran and Israel, ISIS is attacking Iran. The US secret services were the first to announce that ISIS was responsible for the attack

  The median artificial-intelligence researcher believes there is a 5% chance that AI will cause human extinction.  The finding comes from  a survey of 2,700 AI scientists into the likely timescales and outcomes of AI development , the largest to date. The average researcher also thought it 50% likely that AI will achieve certain landmarks — such as writing songs indistinguishable from those by hit artists, or coding an entire payment-processing website from scratch — by 2028, and outperform humans at every possible task by 2047. Long-term forecasts are necessarily uncertain, and AI prognostication has been wrong before, but the result shows that researchers don’t think it’s “ implausible that advanced AI destroys humanity ,” a survey author told New Scientist.    source:   SEMAFOR On the other hand:             source:  MIT Climate Portal Will climate change drive humans extinct or destroy civilization?

In 1789 the vote was given to landowners. What this meant was that the vote had been given not to men but to their  real  estate, to bourgeois property, which could only vote for itself. Although the system was profoundly unfair, since it excluded the greater part of the French population, it was not absurd. The voters, of course, voted individually and in secret. This was in order to separate them from one another and allow only incidental connections between their votes. But all the voters were property owners and thus already isolated by their land, which closed around them and with its physical impenetrability kept out everything, including people. The ballots were discrete quantities that reflected only the separation of the voters. It was hoped that when the votes are counted, t
