  • Asymmetry in Our Confidence of Scientific Discovery

    The principle success in the physical sciences is the publication of many findings that eventually converge (possibility) or diverge (falsehood). We know we cannot intuit the first principles of the universe – although IMHO we are getting close to returning to ‘ether’ lol. But when in matters of biology, sentience, and cooperation, we cannot STOP ourselves from intuiting answers, and as such we attempt to propose conclusions too early. Worse, we cannot even compose tests that do not in and of themselves produce desired answers. We simply do not know how to. So in both the imperceptible physical world, the imperceptible sentient world, and the imperceptible cooperative (social/political/economic) worlds, we are equally blind. The problem is we think we are unequally blind. Anything you intuit that conflicts with the least-cost algorithm of nature is wrong. Nature can’t choose. She does what is cheapest, and what is cheapest is the first available transformation. Apr 18, 2018 1:02pm

    VERISIMILITUDE AND CONVERGENCE ON THE TRUTH

    If you conduct your research with the scientific method, then you will simply attempt to falsify everything until no matter what you do you start producing increasingly similar answers. When you cannot find a way to come to a dissimilar answer then you have either converged on the truth, or some approximation of it given the knowledge, logic, and tools available to us at the time

Not surprised. What about the precautionary principle?

Irresponsible is arguable. No one celebrates the guy who stayed home.Apr 05, 2018 12:25amEly HarmanA strong precautionary principle is basically an admonition against doing anything. So obviously, I don’t accept it in that form. But Taleb advocates a form of it as well based on assymetrical risk/reward which I think is tenable.Apr 05, 2018 12:42amGreg Hamilton@[100001322449172:2048:Eric Thomas] hahaha.Apr 05, 2018 12:49amChris JonesPascals wagerApr 05, 2018 12:57amChristian WarwickYournewswire isn’t fake news per se.

    How does that affect the argument?

    And … um… you thought you were smart by criticizing the distributor rather than the manufacturer???????

    That’s both nonsensical and way *too* precautionary.

    “Not surprised. What about the precautionary principle? What about Elon Musk’s view that running an experiment like “how much carbon can we pump into the atmosphere before it becomes a problem” is inherently reckless and irresponsible?”

    I say that if you can afford the capital investments to build SpaceX and Tesla then go for it. Plenty of precautionary strategies are cause-agnostic — it’s good to be an interplanetary species whether you believe in AGW or not, because even if carbon emissions aren’t driving heat increases we could still perish in a bad singularity or in a nuclear exchange.

    This is the same logic I give for taking ‘prepping’ seriously. A lot of preppers believe patently silly things (e.g. “Obama is the antichrist”), but regardless of what you think will bring civilization down you’re going to need water, so stock up on that.Apr 05, 2018 9:42amChristian WarwickHitler was a brother. It’s clear as day. Or dark as night.Apr 05, 2018 10:14amChristian SeriousEven if that’s true the destruction of common property by government subsidized multinational corporations that eventually damage the private properties of people who never make as much money in a lifetime as some of these thugs make a year is wrong

    The overall goal to cut back on pollution is still a fight worth having. While I still disagree with the idea of market interference from government it is time to cut back on pollutionApr 05, 2018 11:27pmMatthew Gillwhat about the precautionary principle regarding all the pollutants and radiation humans emit? co2 is one of the few that is non-toxic and beneficial to living things (plants). i’m more concerned about tesla’s batteries than co2, and more about the other pollutants released by drilling for and burning oil and coal. humanity as it currently operates is reckless and irresponsible, but co2 is a red herring imo, and a “easy fix” pseudo-solution that doesn’t deal with real problems like deforestation, monocultures, and sickening populations due to deliberately distributed toxins.Apr 05, 2018 11:59pmMicah Pezdirtz3 publications convinced me global warming is a false alarm.

    The first one informed me that the margin of error in the study’s temperature measurements was basically the same as the purported increase in temperature they claimed had taken place over some decades (0.5°C) So they basically revealed no change and painted it as significant change. Lies.

    The second publication demonstrated the historical levels of CO2 in the atmosphere fluctuate periodically and relatively predictably, with a maximum 8 times higher than at current at several points in the past several hundred thousand years. (With no corresponding mass extinctions to my knowledge)

    The third publication investigated the sources of CO2 generation and sequestration and indicated a significant (30%) source of non human generated CO2, as well as general lack of understanding where it goes. Speculated on the acceleration of plant growth as a feedback loop.

    Bonus publication: posited the falsehood of greenhouse gas as a theory bringing attention to the flaws of the original experiment. The atmosphere is not a box of gas with a fixed volume (which rises in temperature and pressure) but is allowed to expand and cool, normalizing pressure, constrained only by gravity.Apr 07, 2018 3:17pm40 NEW PAPERS IN 2018 SAY GLOBAL WARMING DOESN’T EXIST.

    Infinity nor infinities exist or can exist, so there is no opportunity to have it both ways. Fantasies assist us in understanding but they do not ever come into existence such that we can make deductions of possibility from their existence.

    This particular fallacy, which does not have a name that I know of, is the basis of the other half of philosophical sophisms. (the first half of philosophical sophisms are made possible by incomplete sentences and incomplete grammar. Otherwise they could not be said.)
