    You either need to make a testable argument or admit that you can’t and that you’re just wasting my time by self satisfaction of capturing someone else’s attention.

    Virgin Birth (Parthenogenesis) isn’t impossible just very rare. (2023 paper.) I suspect once this is widely known, a massive increase in the number of claims. 😉 However, it’s easily determined by a paternity test. 😉 But we’re running out of virgins at an astonishing rate. So the possible sample size is decreasing rapidly.
    What is the world coming to? lol

    The most popular ‘gut’ degrees are in the behavioral ‘sciences’ and most of this trash ‘science’ comes out of student and grad and postgrad ‘research’. It’s almost all junk.

  • MAN FLU? Sex Differences in Immune Response And Why Immune Systems: Estrogen has

    MAN FLU?
    Sex Differences in Immune Response And Why

    Immune Systems:
    Estrogen has been shown to have immune-enhancing effects, by promoting the production of antibodies and activating certain immune cells, offering women better protection against certain viral infections, including the flu.
    -vs-
    Testosterone has been associated with a dampening effect on the immune system, which explains a higher severity of symptoms or a slower recovery rate in men.

    Genetics: The X chromosome contains a high density of immune-related genes, and because women have two X chromosomes compared to men’s one, this genetic difference could provide women with an immunological advantage in fighting off infections.
    So men have less genetic material to produce repair with, and men’s immune systems have to work harder to stop damage. Then men take on more risk and damage in life.
    So men absorb more cellular damage and more risk and die earlier because of it.

    Evolution: Women being responsible for children, where children are highly perishable IN-time at low risk, versus Men being responsible for territory, resources and war, OVER-time at high risk. Ergo women need to ‘keep going’ or children may die, while men must recover or they will die.

    Let us say that you have a system of measurement.

    That system includes say, X dimensions of measurement – just as, say, we previously did not understand the solar system, then galaxy, and then or universe at large scale, or the atomic, particle, quantum, or quantum background.

    Now, what if the system of measurement you’re using to make the assessments you do, are insufficient for the same reasons: the scale of distribution of your measurements and the number of dimensions you measure?

    Now, in addition, what if your selection bias seeks to maximize correlations, instead of maximize falsifications?
    That would cause you to include partial truths when you could exclude even those.
    And as such could see the patterns of causality that bring about consequential patterns that are destructive.

    In other words, I can make true general statements about distributions of unlimited scale (first principle) despite outliers, and you cannot either do so, nor observe the patterns that would exist if you threw out the half truths.

    Then having done so you could, as I do, make truthful statements about general rules while tolerating outliers – and even criticize those outliers given their limits and failings both directly express, implied, and metaphysically presumed.

    So no, I do not err. But then it would take you quite a bit of effort to learn my (our) work sufficiently to develop that skill and expertise.

    All I have done here is illustrate why you might want to.

    Because some of us seek thruth regardless of cost, so that we may work on problems of time and scale. And some of you seek utility and justification in-time and at personal scale.

    You must only make that choice by two criteria (a) capacity to learn more despite the painful truths and work of doing so, and (b) willingness to do the work necessary to learn that skill set and discipline.

    I’m simply stating the obvious: philosophy(rationalism) is the bridge between superstition and science due to the limits of reason without instrumentation necessary for science: Or more correctly between instinct-intuition, imagination, language, testimony, and measurement.
