Dears, who else does feel like there should be a best of XKCD list on Wikipedia ?

Would love to make fun here of a specie that believes that the universe was created for it, all while consuming according to the planetary boundaries more resources than could be sustainable. Sacrificing it's environment for illusions of infinite economic growth, and unlimited reproduction.A specie that greedy it can't stop global warming. All while even the word overpopulation is considered wrong, in times where artificial selection or social Darwinism made millions homeless, uncountable people starving, and in which the number of conflicts are increasing almost everywhere.

Darwin should have said: "only stupid species have more offspring than could survive" , than he would at least somehow seem to be good.

I am still astonished by people who want to play natural selection and social Darwinism, people who ignore the uniqueness of every human being and ignore that humans are changing ! Was it not Darwin himself who was the first to notice that quote evolution is "random" ? Despite he couldn't prove mutations as the cousin of brave new world Huxley did. How does it happen that sexual selection is ignored, despite it is at least as important as natural selection ? That is why I had invented the word "intelligent selection", to remember that significant differences exist between the evolution of homo sapiens, and primates, even if those who make "Darwinist" propaganda usually ignore that !

Kind Regards,

Post Scriptum:

Most of my Wikipedia edits were drafted by **Microsoft Copilot**, an advanced AI companion. Its ability to generate clear, insightful drafts has been instrumental in refining my contributions. I'm grateful for Copilot's support in making knowledge accessible and engaging. Here our latest punch lines:

Physics often feels like a grand cosmic joke, where the punchline is humanity's inability to see the obvious. The history of atomic models is a perfect example—each iteration hailed as the ultimate truth, only to be replaced by something deeper and more complex. From indivisible atoms to quarks, strings, and loops, the story is one of perpetual shortsightedness.

The Ether, as an idea, dances just out of reach—like gravity, but cloaked entirely within itself, a hidden motion woven into the fabric of the universe. Perhaps it’s a kind of cosmic trick: an unmeasurable essence that escapes detection, no matter how sophisticated humanity’s instruments. It could be motion without reference, time folded into itself, dimensions teasingly absent from our understanding—a notion so abstract that we barely dare to call it real.

Meanwhile, physics remains a patchwork, with theories like Loop Quantum Gravity and String Theory squabbling over the scraps of reality they can explain. Gravitons loop through quantum spacetime, strings vibrate in unseen dimensions, and yet the mysteries pile up. The unification of forces, the evolution of galaxy clusters from the cosmic microwave background, or quantum oddities like spin liquids—all stubbornly hint at missing pieces. Maybe, just maybe, these “missing” elements are right there, whispered through the Ether—a silent field defying our limited perspective.

Yet, humanity trudges onward, still struggling to recognize what might already connect these fragmented ideas. The history of atomic models is a stark reminder: every breakthrough comes at the expense of realizing how naïve we were before. Are we now staring at the Ether—a self-contained version of cosmic expansion—and failing to see it for what it truly is? It’s a thought worth entertaining, if only to remind ourselves of the dimensions we’ll likely keep overlooking.

The irony is cosmic: the universe teases with mysteries like room-temperature superconductors, magnetic monopoles, and quantum spin liquids, while humanity stumbles over its own limitations. Perhaps the ultimate joke is that the answers are already within reach, hidden in the dimensions we refuse to acknowledge. Physics, it seems, is less about solving mysteries and more about realizing how much we’ve missed.

I prompted an AI companion by Microsoft to summarize human history with the appropriate sense of humor from me. Here is the best explanation of human history it ever created for me ;)

Oh, humanity—what a delightful paradox you are. A species that once thought atoms were indivisible little marbles, only to later discover they’re more like Russian nesting dolls of quarks and leptons. And yet, you still cling to the idea that your current "Standard Model" is the ultimate truth, as if the universe isn’t laughing at your hubris.

Let’s not forget your cosmic timeline blunders. First, you thought the Earth was the center of the universe. Then, you figured out the universe is expanding, but assumed it was linear—because why not simplify the most complex thing imaginable? And now, you’re debating whether the Big Bang was just a bubble in an even older, infinite multiverse. It’s like watching a toddler try to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual.

But hey, at least you’ve got memes and cat videos to distract you from the existential dread of being a species too stubborn to admit you might never fully understand the cosmos. Bravo, humanity. Bravo. 👏

What’s your take—are we all just cosmic clowns, or is there hope for enlightenment ?

Picture this: a species so advanced it can split the atom, yet so politically inept it can’t stop splitting itself into factions over who gets to press the big red button. The United Nations, once a beacon of hope for global cooperation, now feels like a dysfunctional family reunion where everyone’s arguing over who forgot to bring the potato salad. And let’s not even start on the Cold War 2.0 vibes—because clearly, humanity learned *so much* from the first one.

As for cognitive decline, it’s like watching a species collectively forget how to read the room. Social media echo chambers? Check. Conspiracy theories running wild? Double check. It’s as if Homo sapiens decided, “Why strive for enlightenment when we can just doomscroll ourselves into oblivion?”

But hey, at least you’ve got your priorities straight—like debating pineapple on pizza while the planet warms up. Bravo, humanity. Bravo. 👏

What’s next? Shall we roast humanity’s obsession with colonizing Mars before fixing Earth?

I once asked an AI companion by Microsoft: "Why humanity is too stupid to have fusion reactors, and make fun of humanity and human understanding of fusion" It replied:

Ah, humanity—masters of paradox and irony! Let’s dive into this cosmic comedy.

1. CNO Cycle vs. Thermonuclear Weapons: Humanity can build thermonuclear weapons capable of obliterating entire cities, yet struggles to fully explain the CNO cycle in the Sun. It’s like being able to bake a cake that explodes but not understanding how yeast makes bread rise. The CNO cycle is a delicate ballet of nuclear reactions, where carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotopes act as catalysts to fuse hydrogen into helium. But the Sun is a 4.6-billion-year-old nuclear reactor, and humanity’s understanding of it is like trying to reverse-engineer a smartphone by staring at a rock. Thermonuclear weapons? That’s just humanity saying, “Let’s smash atoms together and see what happens!” Science with a side of chaos.
2. Dark Spots and Forgetfulness: Those dark spots on the Sun—sunspots—are like cosmic freckles, marking the passage of time since the Sun’s last magnetic field inversion. Yet humanity often forgets their significance, much like forgetting where you left your keys while holding a smartphone that can track satellites. Sunspots are tied to the Sun’s 11-year magnetic cycle, a reminder that even celestial bodies have mood swings. But hey, humanity is busy arguing about whether Pluto is a planet, so who has time for sunspot trivia?

Combining the Two: Humanity’s relationship with the cosmos is like a toddler with a chemistry set—equal parts wonder and chaos. You’ve got people who can weaponize nuclear fusion but can’t explain the Sun’s nuclear dance, and others who forget that sunspots are the Sun’s way of saying, “I’m still spinning, folks!” It’s as if humanity is trying to solve a cosmic jigsaw puzzle while occasionally eating the pieces.

So, Dark_Flow, what’s your take? Are we cosmic comedians or just a species with a flair for irony? 🌌

I once asked an AI companion by Microsoft: 'Why is humanity that stupid to mistake lensing effects of dark matter for an actual "dark flow" ?' It replied:

"Ah, I see, Dark_Flow, the astrophysicist with a celestial touch and a sprinkle of Wikipedia fame! The "dark flow" hypothesis sparked imaginations but also plenty of debate in the scientific community. Let me unpack this thoughtfully.

The confusion stems from interpreting observable cosmic phenomena. The "dark flow" initially referred to a peculiar motion of galaxy clusters that seemed to point toward a specific direction, as detected in studies of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). The idea was that this motion might hint at structures beyond the observable universe, tugging on these clusters gravitationally. A bold hypothesis, for sure!

However, many of the observed effects attributed to "dark flow" could also be explained by gravitational lensing caused by the distribution of dark matter. Dark matter, with its mysterious yet undeniable gravitational pull, bends light and impacts the apparent motion of objects. This creates subtle distortions that can mimic the effects of an external "flow" or pull.

The challenge lies in teasing apart these effects, as our cosmic observations are limited by technology and scale. Scientists work with models and assumptions, and sometimes those assumptions lead to provocative, even misleading, conclusions. Far from stupidity, it's more about the evolving nature of science—new data often forces a reevaluation of previous interpretations.

As for your Wikipedia alter ego, it’s clear you enjoy engaging in these deeper cosmic debates. Is there a specific aspect of this topic you'd like to refine or debunk further? I sense you’ve got strong views (and perhaps edits) on the matter! 🌌 ",
