I know you’re engaging in motivated reasoning becasue this subject is emotionally loaded for you. I support ukraine becasue it’s my chosen home. That said, i’m making a geostrategic argument independent of who rules: east-facing russia, and west-facing ukraine differ in needs.

@asomd2021@akulkis00@voxday I thought I answered the piltdown man question already.
THere are plenty of frauds in history – piltdown being a perfect example. So is the shroud of turin, the voynich manuscript and pretty much every christian relic without exception. My particular interest is in art forgery because my early training is in the fine arts. But it turns out to be relatively easy to spot fraud in the arts. Fraud succeeds for the same reason fraudulent christian relics succeeded: because people want to believe it.
My favorites as a child were the frauds at Ripley’s Believe it or Not. I read the books and went to the museum. I asked so many questions the manager gave young me a handfull of books for free. 😉
Now, it was quite a bit easier to produce frauds before genetics. Now we know pretty much the boundaries of mankind – especially from what we’ve learned over the past ten years or so.
The primary problem we have is that people want to make up stories to explain their archeological and anthropological findings – and it turns out that these stories tend to be pretty much wrong all the time. This is why people like me study the economics, trade, and technology of primitives because almost always it’s “economics in everything” so to speak. The same is true of history. A study of laws and court records falsifies the entirety of writing of the scholars, theologians, and philosophers, who are largely tring to create narratives that will influence current policy.
So if you find x, y, or z, falsehoods they are irrelevant in the face of hundreds of thousands of bits of evidence that isn’t false. And the desperation with which one clings to outliers only demonstrates one is seeking to preserve a cherished lie.

@akulkis00 FWIW: the correct personal attack to make against me is the correct political attack to make against all people like me, including smith, adams, kant, and einstein, just to pick a random sampling from different european cultures. Aspies mature in social interaction more slowly than neurotypicals, however we (they) are responsibile for nearly all meaningful advances in history. In other words, it’s correct to attack me (us) for eccentricities that permanently aggrevate neurotypicals by offending neurotypicals in social interactions. But this is nothing more than another way of calling eccentrics ‘rude’. It doesn’t carry any weight in the determination of the merit of the arguments we make. And this ‘rudeness’ comes into play given the rather ‘odd’ nature of autistic humor, and that much of our humor comes at the expense of neurotypicals. But then all humore comes at someone’s expense. That’s why it’s humorous.

@curtd
akulkis00 @akulkis00 —” I don’t know what you THINK your IQ is, but it’s definitely below my 142~144, and Vox is at least 5 points higher than I am. ” — IQ consists of two measures. One of neural adaptivity, and one of accumulated knowledge because of that adaptivity. Increasingly we seek to test adaptivity because it’s visible even in neurological reaction times. But demonstrated intelligence consists of no less than: 1) Neural velocity and adaptability 2) Personality variation from systematizing (vs empathizing), openness and extroversion, conscientiousness (executive function), and low neuroticism. 3) General Knowledge – general knowledge compensates for IQ, and the organization of general knowledge by minimum variation from unambiguity, internal consistency, external correspondence, in the form of general rules improves demonstrated intelligence 4) Wants, Beliefs, Faiths, that are contradictory to unambiguity, internal consistency, external correspondence. 5) Of course, trauma and disease. Manifested in: 6) Lifetime Achievement. Now in estimating my IQ you’re off by a standard deviation. That doesn’t matter. I’ve had vastly more success in life than you have so I am less malinvested in self-image, status, and false beliefs to maintain them. And I have very low regard for the opinions of the peasantry. And I rather enjoy parenting gamma males who overstate the merit of their false beliefs, unwarranted opinions, and masculine pretense of competency. And regarding my lifetime achievement, well I’ve built a whole buncha tech companies and sold them. Burned through a couple of wives. Advised campaigns, participated in espionage and revolution. Survived two cancers and two other serious illnesses. Retired in my 40’s, and then solved the hardest remaining problem in intellectual history unifying the sciences as promised by EO Wilson. And I’ve done it with a total lack of respect for those like you, and without airs of pretense common in social, popular, academic, or political affairs. Which historically is a common personality expression for those with similar abilities and high functioning autistic neurology. Now, you know, evidence is. I did. You talk. It’s simple. 😉 And none of your girl gossip will change the demonstrated evidence. 😉

RE Haeckel;
“Doing the best we can with the information available to illustrate a point, when that point remains true is not a fraud, but doing the best we can. He was trying to educated the public in a mass publication. By your measure the drawing of atoms and particles using orbits is a fraud. In fact, drawing orbitals or even speaking of particles in those articles is a fraud. Worse, talking about collapse of the wave function is a fraud. Yet you can make claims about evolution, magic men in the sky, and metaphysical supernaturalism and that’s not a fraud?”
The history of science has judge him as doing the best he could to communicate the best he could to a popular audience. This is how adults interpret the work of other adults. What you are doing of course is trying to attribute a deception as a distraction from your lying about magic men and a magic universe.
Even if he intended to overstate the case, he was correct in stating his theory. And the theory remains although constantly refined as we understand how evolution functions by the combination of embryonic state and DNA supply and cellular byproducts. As such almost all evolution depends on modification of prior states to novel ends by regulating cellular development at the local level. It’s elegant really.

@akulkis00@TheMakhairaofTruth@Autisticone1
Fucking stupid. I used skylines of Kiev, and L’viv for most of our images.The website uses the ‘education’ site template for universities that everyone uses. If you think we should have replaced the stock photos then I suppose that’s a legit criticism. It’s also a legit criticism of the 1Billion other sites that use stock images.
Stop being an ignorant purity spiraling ass. lol
