  • I do science. I don’t do literature. That’s why you fail. You do literature not

    I do science. I don’t do literature.
    That’s why you fail.
    You do literature not science. 😉

  • Most Common Lie in Genetics: More Similar than Not

    —“More similar than different can be said about us and chimps”–Göran Dahl

    When discussing genetics “more similar than different’ is a pseudoscientific, and pseudo-mathematical lie. There is even a name for it: “Lewontin’s Fallacy”. Or we can just call it postmodern denialism and igorance. Any of those labels will do. Very minor changes appear to have very vast consequences and some groups have accumulated better minor changes and others worse minor changes (genetic load). Same is true for rate of calculation of adaption. The rate of adaption depends largely on the number of life forms, the life span, the frequency of generations, the environmental pressures of a given locality, the available means of expressing fitness, the possibility of non local reproduction(travelled); the complexity of the life form(size of the information), the expressed population of the genome, whether it’s RNA(adaptive) or DNA(error checking), asexual or sexual, and the number of points in the replication process that errors can insert, delete, and survive, and some factors we don’t clearly understand yet, that facilitate or inhibit those changes and rates of change. DNA(RNA) is a supercomputer that works at chemical rather than electrical velocity. There are say, 5m SNP’s (blocks, instructions) and that is not all that can change – in an individuals genome, and 100m active SNPs worldwide. Edit

    Feb 3, 2020, 8:58 PM 12182 pieces of orbital debris. 2161 spent rocket stages in orbit, 4790 satellites, 25 objects in orbit not yet assigned, Less than 2000 satellite are alive 261 are Communications 178 are Military 98 are GPS This is not a subject I have knowlege of. I don’t know the rest, and even these numbers are only rough. Yes, there are databases. Multiple. They’re detailed. —GPS— 74 Global Positioning System navigation satellites have been launched, 31 of which are operational, 9 in reserve, 2 being tested, 30 have been retired and 2 were lost at launch. There are currently 5 Positioning and Navigation satellite systems. 1) GPS (USA) 2) GLONASS (Russia) 3) Galileo (European Union) 4) BeiDou (China) 5) NAVIC (India) GPS has 31 satellites in orbit. GLONASS has 24 satellites in orbit. Galileo has 14 satellites in orbit. BeiDou has 22 satellites in orbit. NAVIC has 7 satellites in orbit.

  • Define: Determinism

    Feb 11, 2020, 7:49 AM All events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes external to human thought (will). We categorize this limitation as constraining causality to realism (the universe exists) and naturalism (causes are independent of human thought and human thought has no influence on causality except through action). Some philosophers have taken determinism to imply that individual human beings have no free will and cannot be held morally responsible for their actions. In science, determinism means that the universe demonstrates regularity and therefore we can identify general rules (laws of nature). I don’t pay much attention to philosophy – it’s mostly nonsense. If you can’t say it in testimony: math, logic, science, economics or law then it’s probably nonsense. And yeah. The vocabulary, grammar, and logic of economics includes psychology, sociology, politics, and group strategy.

  • Yes P Is a Formal Algorithmic, Operational, Science – It Is the Most Complete S Ci Ence: Law – by Which All Others Are Judged

    Mar 27, 2020, 9:56 AM

    —“You are not a scientist. You are a story teller. Arranging information, data, statistics, iqs into a self-deceptive, bias confirming narrative. As are the majority of scientists generally. Empirical science is inferior. Lacking holism and art. I renounce it.”—Learned Dr. Kantbot, PhD

    SCIENCES:

    1. Formal(Logics: logic, mathematics, algorithmic, operational). 2. Physical (the laws of nature). 3. Psychological (cognitive science), and; 4. Social (Social science: economics, law, politics, group strategy). P-law is a formal, operational, and algorithmic logic using a universally commensurable grammar (paradigm, vocabulary, logic grammar syntax), that tests (falsifies) every possible dimension of thought: coherent (consistent, correspondent, existentially and operationally possible). Now, you might arbitrarily define ‘science’, but by any present definition P-law is scientific. It is logical, empirical, operational, and under realism, naturalism, rational choice, and reciprocity. Human Faculties (physical process) > Epistemology > Grammar > Vocabulary > Speech > Due Diligence > including Ethics. Faculties:

    1. Sense, Integration by prediction 2. Space-Time Modeling prediction, 3. Auto Association prediction (intuition), Auto Evaluation (emotion), 4. Attention-Recursion, 5. Reason, Planning, Calculation, Computation, 6. Action-Release > Repeat.Epistemology: Observation > Free Association > Hypothesis (reason tested) > Theory (operationally tested), > Surviving Theory (market tested) > Limitation > Falsification > Repeat. In P we use a ‘grammar’ to refer to the Paradigm and Vocabulary, grammar, logic, and syntax of a paradigm. And when we use the term “the Grammars’ we mean the spectrum of those grammars. A Grammar: refers to the Paradigm (permissible dimensions of perception, cognition, and action), the Names, Operations, and Rules of Continuous Recursive Disambiguation (morpheme, word, phrase, sentence, story organization) and the LOGIC (constant relations) that limit consistency, correspondence, coherence, and completeness. Vocabulary: Deflation and disambiguation by competition, operationalization, and serialization, ex: Moral: Evil < Bad < Immoral < Unethical < Amoral > Ethical > Moral > Good > Righteous. or Truth: Tautological < Analytic < Idea < Testifiable < Honest < Untested. Speech: Deflation (constraint upon) ordinary language grammar, limited to a single point of view, absent the verb to be, using complete promissory sentences, describing a series of operations (human actions), resulting in testable transactions (sentence),and sets of transactions. Due Diligence: realism, naturalism, sensory, identity (categorical), internal (logical), operational (actions in time), external (empirical), rational (bounded rationality), reciprocal (moral – reciprocal rationality), limited, fully accounted, warranteed, restitutable. Ethics (Morality): Productive, Fully informed, Voluntary Transfer of Demonstrated Interests, free of imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests of others by externality, and warrantied, by due diligence against error bias and deceit, within the limits of restitution. No more sophistry. Philosophy is closed. Science has fully replaced it. P-law is complete. Including Metaphysics, Epistemology, Psychology, Ethics, Sociology, Economics, Politics, Law, Group Strategy, and Aesthetics.
