For which part of that commend did I get the downvotes? Seriously interested to know so I can write more of that.
But its true? This research organization doesn't have to beg for short-term or 3rd party research money? Also, I'm really pissed and also I'm kind of convinced that its too late anyways to try to convince someone who…

Well he IS a wild chimp attacking people, right? Sorry chimps, that was mean.
Give it five minutes and you'll contradict yourself.
And you have enough knowledge on the subject matter so this can be seen as an educated guess, or are you just throwing some good-knowing words around to see what sticks?
The first sentence is: "Forest clearing has forced hungry chimps to raid villagers’ crops." So it doesn't seem that's their natural behavior. So how's that relevant? Oh wait it its, just exactly the opposite of what you…
> I don't see why small encounters that result in one or two deaths would be totally unexpected. And if you, in your grand wisdom, don't see it, it cannot be the case. Yeah.
Because they don't want to randomly attack people for no reason, other than you?
Yeah and you don't know how the research organization works that produced that research, so ...
Except you're the one who's lying ...? Weird.
Yeah and when its commenters throwing around arguments that just don't apply here they're doing everyone a disservice.
How is the behavior of some random humans relevant here?
People lie. People who care more about getting their PhD and less about the actual research. Cause they don't have the integrity to not cheat. If you care about the actual research, why cheat. And still if researchers…
> Perhaps a particular chimp or gorilla was having a really bad day and just went out looking for a fight. Do chimps and gorillas do such things?
So because you don't know, it is impossible?
Funny how all the people criticizing the science behind that article didn't do proper research themselves. The Max Planck Society is a research organization with a steady, long-term funding through the German government…
Yeah, bullshitting was always the easiest way to get people's attention. Specifically if the bullshitters believe their own bullshit, I mean, they're sooooo confident in what they're saying, the gotta be right, right?…
Faith is fine (in god, democracy, veganism, open source or a political party - whatever). Blind faith (= ideology) is a problem.
Its still there, its just buried under all the other crap. As more and more people generate content, more and more bullshit exists. Unfortunately, Google etc. - despite all their big announcements - can obviously not…
> The US still have a better academic culture but the chinese are catching up. Science is about truth. Dictatorships are about appealing to the dear leader. That's why China will never catch up to free and open…
Yeah cause we're right about that
So doing good is a bad thing now? Not the whole world follows the US approach where only making money seems to count. Luckily.
