—“Midway through development, all vertebrate embryos possess a series of folds in the neck region, or pharynx. The convex parts of the folds are called pharyngeal “arches” or “ridges,” and the concave parts are called pharyngeal “clefts” or “pouches.” But pharyngeal folds are not gills. “—

@asomd2021@akulkis00@voxday I am only defending your attempt to claim that this isue has any impact on evolution of man from earlier forms.

@asomd2021@akulkis00@voxday Do you know how you distinguish sh-t science from good science? The good scientists list the competing theories and address them. The sh-t scientists don’t. They do not list facts. They list opinions. they make claims about every aspect of it that is easily arguable by the opposing parties. Now, why do you think you are able to determine the difference between the different positions? I mean, I”m pretty scary knowledgeable about the history of art materials (I was VP of the country’s largest art supplier). Why do you think you can judge the veracity of the presented claims? And why don’t you know the countering claims?

We differ in determination of ‘credible’. I have never seen a single report that as ‘credible’. And a ‘scientist’ like ‘doctor’ doesn’t convey any more meaning than a school teacher of physics does, a clerical scientsts, a scientist at a low end university, in relation to the top one to three people in a field. There are no credible claims that the shroud is not a forgery. It appears we know when and where it was created, and last time I took a look into the evidence we even have some idea who paid for the forgery and his motives.
Most people for a variety of reasons, most of them pragmatic, refer to what I do as law, or the science of decidability. But in practice what it consists of is the science of the means by which people lie, and their motives for lying.
But as in most things the manufacturer of a lie is successful if and only if there is a market for that lie, by people who want to believe that lie, and will invest in the preservation of that lie.
All religions, and abrahamic religions in particular, depend on this willingness to invest in the preservation of a lie that they wish to believe.

@Wanderers_Choice @Nationalist7346 I am not using what NS created. I”m following the science, creating what the science says, and after having done so, discovering the NS were right …. scientifically right. .. at least as far as policy is concerned. Not as far as government is concerned. The monarchy was right. Which was a surprise for me.

Do you look at photos from the mars landscape with inspiration, humility, or terror? At the vastness of space with wonder, humility, or fear?

It’s not so much a paradox as a measure of our ignorance. 😉
I’m on the pessimistic side of the spectrum. That said if faster-than-light communication is possible we wouldn’t observe anyone anyway (yet).

Believe it or not, we haven’t yet eliminated the possibility of faster than light travel,we’ve just determined that’s it’s extremely unlikely.
And we haven’t yet eliminated the possibility of faster than light communication.And I’m not confident it’s impossible or unlikely – yet.

SUMMARY OF THE KOTH GAME FALSIFYING THE VOX DAY MORONS
@StevenV
The arguments I made were operational (scientific) of which empiricism is but one dimensions. The responses were without exception evidence of the female means of non-argument, defending the abrahamic method of deceit, combined with a failure to grasp basic concepts necessary to hold the claims your clowns asserted. In return I maintained the same strategy I have a long reputation for: reflect the insult and restate the central argument – or at least some component of it. Just as I have done in this paragraph. I even sent a set of links describing what I was doing and why. Yet all that occurred was evidence I was correction: common feminine justification of pretense of knowlege, use of GSSRM, pilpul, critique, as defense of the social construction of false promise (fraud) of freedom from formal, physical, behavioral, and evolutionary laws.
Really simply: no one has even understood basic criticisms of the variables that affect rates of evolution, nor a basic understanding of the limits of such mathematics, when results approach infinity. It’s like talking to kindergardeners about calculus. Adn I’ve baited every dimension that would allow anyone in the audience to demonstrate that knowledge, and thus demonstrate the capacity to hold with conviction the claims made.
It’s ok to have faith in a magic man if it makes you happy. But faith is not testifiable. That is why it requires faith. Therefore you may claim it is good, but may not claim it is true. Faith requires bearing insult for doing so for the same reason women must bear insult for their emotional and cognitive indiscipline. And when a people, and their faith are failing – largely becuase of their faith – then they have every incentive in the world for not bearing insult for faith, and like women, called out in public to ‘calm down’ double down with moral outrage of children.
The brain requires mindfulness to limit its costs. Some of us are more empathic and neurotic or of lower ability and value to others. As such those people are weaker than others. The need for faith is a weakness. This is why faith is ‘a good’ – for the weak.
The people who do not have and are not weak enough to require faith, demonstrate loyalty to the faithful when they are kith and kin just as men demonstrate loyalty to the empathic and neurotic fragility of women.
But to maintain that loyalty the women may never claim she is rational and possesed of agency, and the faithful may never claim they are testifying and that their words are true.
This falsehod breaks our coopeation by loyaty and makes the weak the enemy of the strong.
And the weak always double down on their weakness rather than adapt and in doing so mature into responsible agentful adulthood.
Thus endeth the lesson.
