    @StevenV The arguments I made were operational (scientific) of which empiricism is but one dimensions. The responses were without exceptoin 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 simple: 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 fait 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. 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.

    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 they are weaker than others. The need for faith is a weakness.

    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 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.

    @Wanderers_Choice@RadioFreeNorthwest It’s there in my work becuse it’s science not ideology. That’s why it matters. Settled science. Settled science is legally decidable.

    @asomd2021@ScuzzaMan@voxday

    1) Changes happen because mutation (fragility) has not been eradicated from the replication process for reasons too technical to go into here. What we don’t yet know is why some organisms are so good at controling limited mutation and some are not (cancer cells) or why some cells are within the norm of mutation and some are extrme outliers with 100M times as many mutations in the same generational series.

    2) Evolution isn’t the paradigm of evolution it’s the paradigm of existence itself. In other words, evolution is the first principle of the universe. I cover in normie prose in this interview:

    These three sections explain the evolution as the function of the universe, and my position on Christianity and comparative religion.

    0:11:00 – Evolution: Explaining Continous Recursive Disambiguation of Disorder into Order – A Hierarchy of Stable Relations: Existence.

    0:25:47 – Curt’s understanding of god. Christianity and Religion and General

    0:37:16 – European Evolution of Trifunctionalism vs Everyone Else’s Failure into Monopoly.

    3) So why it happens is that the universe is under pressure either by an inability to expand or a pressure to contract. This results in the energy content of the quantum background (which is terrifyingly huge in every single cubic centimeter, and every single Planck unit). So the universe can only use entropy to dissipate energy or use evolution to capture energy in a higher stable relation (state). All existence (mass) is the result of the capture of energy in complex combinations of electromagnetic bonds, where each bond assists in producing the stability of the related bonds. In other words the universe will never run out of evolutionary pressure until it ends – if it ever ends.

    4) As for one species evolving into another, I’m not sure I understand that statement, since a ‘species’ is just a taxonomy we use to represent a stable relation of a genome expressed in a life form, for some stable period of time. For example, humans are still evolving, and have evolved rapidly over the past ten thousand years, and we speciating into at least four new species before the agrarian revolution. Humans are sexually opportunistic, and sexually hyperadaptive, so we are less likely at least in the norm, to limit homogenization by hybridization. So a stable state of any organism just means it’s adapted to its environment such that limited change occurs and only slowly. Yet under duress, we see punctuated equilibriums created by the opportunity for adaptation given the potential to express adaptive mutation that was previously limited by competitors. And this allows for increase in mass by capturing those new niches. So a ‘spiecies’ is a ‘photograph’ of a common state of a related genome at a point in time so that we can measure (perceive) differences, and from those differences, learn something.

    DEFINING HOW THE UNIVERSE USES COMPUTATION VS CALCULATION

    Richard: Q: — “Curt: So when matter is able to form a stable relationship that persists that is a computation rather than a calculation? I was under the (false?) impression that matter can only calculate and that life can only compute. Life, memory, consciousness, language are more and more precise levels of computation?” —

    This is one of my failings of inconsistency. techically only conscious life can calculate (Transform inputs into outputs by rules). The physical universe can compute by trial and error. We don’t have a word for the space between compute and calculate. So the best thing to say is that it takes life to calculate (as you said), and the universe otherwise can only compute.

    Or we can take it farther that only life can compute, only conscous life can calculate. but then we have to find some way of talking about the universe’s physical functions (which are closer to addition subtraction) and would rightly be categorized as arithmetic.

    We will always be stuck in soem of these battles becasue we want to avoid neologisms, and instead just improve the precision of terms.

    And so I try to pick the term that does the best job, and ‘compute’ is the most universal term at all scales, while calculate implies deduction and induction and therefore requries sentience (consciousness really).

  • WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE ONLY REQUIRE THREE DIMENSIONS OF MEASUREMENT(DESCRIPTION)

    WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE ONLY REQUIRE THREE DIMENSIONS OF MEASUREMENT(DESCRIPTION) AND ONE DIMENSION OF CHANGE (TIME)?

    “Q: Curt: What’s so special about triangles!”

    The simple answer is that no external information is needed in order to calculate a plane just as no external information is necessary to calculate a sphere.

    Q: “What’s an example of something that would require external information in order to calculate it?”

    1) no matter what you do with three points triangle it will always and only create a triangle. (two opposing forces – two points – can create a stable state – the third point.

    2) no matter what you do to two points they will only create a line. two opposing forces can create a stable relationship.

    3) no matter what you do to a point: it will only create a point. A stable state will remain stable unless subject to an opposite charge (force)

    4) in order to create any other geometry you must apply some rule where the information must be stored externally to the arbitrary relation of the points.

    5) in other words, how can the universe know how to create a square, or a cube? it can’t.

    6) This is why the universe has only three dimensions, and can only have three dimensions.

    This is why we see all the universe evolve from one force -pressure- creating two opposing forces (negative and positive charge) we call polarity.

    This polarity (line) can only survive (maintain state) if it has sufficient energy not to collapse back into the background state – because the background state cannot produce (concentrate) enough negative or positive energy to cancel it out.

    If this object can accumulate enough force to create a stable state (survive) then we now have three points, the negative charge x, the positive charge y, and the sum of the charges z that produces a surface area (total charge) greater than the charges of x and y and such cannot dissipate.

    Just following Dr John Campbell’s (trustworthy) walkthrough of the Johns Hopkins global study – and it’s correct that lockdowns not only made no difference, but in fact, there is a tiny correlation that lockdowns increased deaths. This duplicates the prevoius Spanish Flu studies.

    Science in the west consists of a competitive market for the most parsimonious testimony that requires realism, naturalism, is unambiguous, consistent, correspondent, rational, reciprocal, complete, with stated limits.

    Science increases in precision (that’s the evidence) from concept to hypothesis to theory to surviving theory. But in the west we have only improved upon the original theories of aristotle, epicurus, democritus, and the pre-socratics. Why? Search for Natural Law: laws of nature.

    Science = The production of testimony. The end result of the production of testimony is Decidability. Science and decide all questions (now it can). So it can tell us what is false, irreciprocal, and devolutionary. All else is choice between possible goods.
