I don’t make errors.

Let’s test these statements.

–“

1.My statement isn’t a matter of benefit. It’s a matter of math.

2. A reduction in genetic data can be for better or worse. The point is that these phenomena do not amount to one species becoming another one.

3. No amount of reducing the genetic data of a single celled organism can get us to the diversity of life as we see it.

4. Your thoughts aren’t in your head. Thought is a phenomena within the transcendental order of life.

“—Kahl O’Dournian

My claims:

a. You cannot demonstrate the mathematics you are testifying to, and if tried you would self falsify that you can, that you understand the system of measurement (mathematics) and what it is you’re measuring with it (calculation of capture of energy).

b. You do not know the amount of information necessary to calculate a single celled organism, nor the rate of calculation, nor the time to produce the calculation of the information, so you cannot make such a claim as it is impossible. Conversely almost anyone can show that the rate of calculation can be effectively infinite even in asexual reproduction, before we get to the much higher rates of sexual reproduction, and that (a) the central problem is not calculation of successful mutations by trial and error, but (a) the tendency for trial and error to pursue non-random direction, (b) the central problem of distribution of novelties is multidimensional, including noth less that travel distance, rates of reproduction, degree of caloric advantage, and competition in favor or against it, and the degree of correction already in the genome, as well as the rate of information loss of intermediary steps in the evolution of an expression of a protein (molecular machinery).

c. Consciousness consists of the conflation (experience) of awareness of space and time, produced by the hierarchy of memory beginning with the shortest term to longest term (hippocampal, entorhinal, perirhinal, parahippocampal, inferotemporal, and cortical) controlled by attention (thalamus), given priorities calculated in a competition then released (basal nuclei) according to timing (parallel order) calculated by the cerebellum. In other words, consciousness is a spatial model into which we conflate sensory information through massive parallelization. Or in simple terms, consciousness consists of short term memory of the past few moments of short term memory. This brief explanation refers to a set of theories the narrowest of which is ‘thousand brains’ model of the cortex, and the broadest of which is the “Thalmo-cortical resonance theory”, in which the frequency of oscillation determines the narrowness of focus, urgency and rate of resulting action. This science is rather current but it is pretty well understood (and I am current with the research).

d. You are lying, because you cannot testify to those claims. I can however testify to the possibility of each of those claims to the exclusion of all other testifiable claims.

A NOTE TO THOSE WHO ARGUE WITH THE FAITHFUL

The purpose of theological speech is to teach sophism, and to reward sophism. You cannot really argue with the faithful for at least these reasons.

1. All addicts defend their addiction relentlessly and have no choice. And there is a great deal of addiction in christianity, judaism, and islam – that is the reason for their success.

2. Christianity like judaism and islam teaches theological sophism, fictionalism, idealism, and critique. In other words, just as math, science, and law teach us to speak truthfully, the monotheistic religions teach us to lie.

3. The monotheists are not intellectually honest, nor in pursuit of the truth, but simply trying to defend their addiction. So you are never, ever, debating with someone of intellectual honesty. They have been trained for intellectual dishonesty, and intellectual dishonesty is one of the rewards (addictions) that result from the practice of monotheistic theology. They will, in the end, always just deny, or leave. You cannot convince an addict not to take his promiscuity, solipsism, alcohol, drugs, or religion.
