I can remember, in 2015 the Prime Minister of Australia was interviewed during a radio show and he said that we would have to increase the retirement age "because people will be living to 120 soon".

The PM of Australia is dumb but he isn't dumb enough to say that unless someone told him.

What does /sci/ think of Doctor Jill Bolte Taylor? Is she just a liar? At what point do we trust someone because of their credentials?

Can someone explain to me how our skin color changed so dramatically over such a short span of time (100k-350k years) but we left the water over 400 million years ago and we never lost our water reflexes, like the "cold water reflex" and the "bradycardia response"?

Why can a human still give birth underwater? We left the water 400 million years ago...? My professor says we're the only land dwelling biped on earth that can give birth underwater but doesn't explain why we still have water reflexes which we should have lost millions of years ago?

Not falsifiable but unlikely enough and poorly-postulated enough to be disregarded
