    I suspect that when we discover the means by which space time is constructed (of big,heavy somethings), that Einstein will look ‘dumb’ for having distracted us for a century or more, by solving the question of electromagnetic radiation (light) rather than the problem of the construction of the universe. A particularly obvious human cognitive bias in retrospect.

    it certainly appears that what we see of the universe in the radiant spectrums consists of little more than the sparklers and we are still ignorant of what it is that casts them off. We live off the sparkles, and we see a world of sparkles, but like the maggot we feast on the waste, not the beast.

    I say this not because I know some particular secret about the universe. But because I know a few particular secrets about the mind of man and the consistency of errors he makes. And just how difficult it is to circumvent those errors in each great leap forward.

    HOLD THE NOBEL PRIZE COMMITTEE LIABLE FOR THEIR RATING SERVICE?

    Do you suppose we could make the Nobel Prize committee liable for the certification of pseudoscience? I think we could. Why not? I mean, for all intents and purposes, how is the Nobel Committee any different from the Mortgage Rating Services? Privatizing commons while socializing losses into the commons?

    I like his suggestion that dutch is a good language for science (actually engineering). I think a lot of us agree. English=Law.

    The evolution of life is humorous if you consider most life forms either matter-bags in water, or water-bags on land and air. How far can I get from the water, and how big can I get if i can’t just absorb water from condensation?

  • NO. SCIENCE IS A MORAL DISCIPLINE WITHIN NATURAL LAW: THE MEANS BY WHICH WE WARR

    NO. SCIENCE IS A MORAL DISCIPLINE WITHIN NATURAL LAW: THE MEANS BY WHICH WE WARRANT THE TRUTHFULNESS OF OUR STATEMENTS.

    The languges of science(testimony), physical science, propertarianism (social science), natural law (science of dispute resolution), accounting, finance, and economics, (measurement of production), function as the universal language of truth-telling.

    The discipline of science asks us to warranty that we have performed due diligence on our statements. We warranty that we have eliminated error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and deceit from our utterances.

    That’s what science is:

    A NATURAL LAW: a warranty of our information, just like the warranty of our services, just as the warranty of our products, just as the warranty of our speech.

    Period. End of story.

    I know. You thought you were smart. You were so proud that you had transcended superstition. But it never occurred to you that you were just as ridiculous in the present generation due to the pseudosciences of Marx, Freud, Boaz, Adorno than your superstitious ancestors were in the pseudoscience of theology.

    Ok. Have we got that straight? Look in the mirror. Repeat after me: “I was suckered by pseudoscience, just like my ancestors were suckered by superstition. I am a sucker. I pledge not to be a sucker any longer. There is only one moral rule in both silver(negative) and gold (positive) forms: Impose not cost upon the cost born by others, by limiting yourself to actions and words, consisting only of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, limited to productive externalities.

    Ethelebert (Anglo-Saxon Silver Rule), Jesus (Golden-Rule), and Kant (bi-metal rule), all said the same thing. Everything else is lies to justify theft and to circumvent voluntary transfers between individuals classes and groups.

    Ok. We’re done here.
