Phi for All

Perhaps we have a kink in our sociobiologies that keep them from adapting. I have to do a LOT of stretching these days.

! Moderator Note You need to drop this line of inquiry NOW, please. It's beyond anyone's capacity to explain someone else's posts, and the member you seem to be stalking hasn't posted in four years. Please move on.

! Moderator Note Then perhaps you can unlock this closed thread? Don't bring this subject up again until you're ready to discuss science.

Well, I have to say your OP isn't very helpful at describing what you want to talk about. That bit about Genecks really derails your focus. After reading it three times, I still don't understand why you seem to be angry with him. And then you go on to talk about "it was viewed that" and "it was considered", but with no mention of who was viewing or considering, making me think you were either vague or talking in the third person. I stopped reading when you used the Triune Brain theory as an argument. You know that model has been abandoned for concepts that have a LOT more explanatory power, right? Dividing a spectrum into threes isn't necessarily helpful, especially with something as complex as the human brain. Nothing in this thread has prepared me to unpack this question and statement. Is it just unfamiliar terminology to me, or are you bouncing around from one concept to the other with no transitions? I sense you're assuming the readers of this thread know a LOT more about what you're talking about than they really do. Or maybe I'm having a bad cognitive day.

! Moderator Note I split this tangent off to give you an opportunity to explain your interest. If you have none, or don't wish to discuss the science involved, I can close the thread. It's up to you to support your ideas here, and I don't think this post is really trying. More rigor, please.

! Moderator Note There's just too much garbage in here to unpack. Overunity, numerology, and enough word salad to choke any herbivore. Trash, trash, trash. This is a science discussion forum. Don't do this here again, ever.

! Moderator Note Split to its own thread. Please don't use more speculations to explain something in a thread that already needs to support its own. As for your idea, please use evidence in support of your extraordinary claims, and avoid posting videos or linking offsite. Members must be able to participate without watching videos.

! Moderator Note We do make a distinction here between attacking ideas and attacking people. Pointing out ignorance is not a personal attack. Pointing out flaws in reasoning or the use of logical fallacies is not a personal attack. All of these are attacking the idea, not the person who is trying to explain it. Suggesting that someone is "struggling" or "prejudiced" without evidence is clearly personal, and is a violation of our rules on civility. Everyone needs to follow this process when it comes to science discussion.

Dear Invision Community Software...

It's similar to what we see when groups lobby for legislation that affects a small portion of businesses, but they use a big bogeyman company to make it scarier: "What if Amazon started doing this?"

What you're being incredibly insensitive and obtuse about is that even the least worries on a literal MOUNTAIN of worries are significant. It's the most ill-defined job there is, yet the person who "keeps house" is expected to do everything the wage-earner doesn't have time for (which is often equally ill-defined). Personally, I find it repugnant that anyone would judge the worthiness of anyone else wrt health/mental health problems. How dismissive and privileged to think that sleep disorders require more of a professional schedule than a housewife can muster!

We feel like the NFL would feel if someone who'd never played American football insisted that the problem with the game is that the ball isn't round. It's compounded by the frustration that whenever they try to explain the game, the amateur just keeps repeating his claim and doubling down in more bizarre and insistent ways.

! Moderator Note Even in our Religion section, it's required to stick to mainstream science explanations, rather than guesswork and unfounded woo. If you want to talk about this (unevidenced) claim, please start its own thread in Speculations. It will be an uphill battle against mountains of evidence and the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, but hopefully you'll learn something useful from the accumulated stores of human knowledge we've been compiling for you.

! Moderator Note Members must be able to participate without watching videos or going offsite. Please give a summary of the information you want people to have, and please also be clear about what you want to talk about.

! Moderator Note Posts on time travel split to this thread in Speculations.

! Moderator Note Yes, water is water. Please retract your claim that "you haven't produced one example of anything happening the same twice or a dissimilar chemical reaction producing another same." It's the intellectually honest thing to do.

! Moderator Note This was not even close to addressing the post from studiot you quoted. Please think of discussion like a conversation around a table. Studiot asked you a simple question, "Do you know what a complex reaction is and the difference between a complex reaction and a combination of reactions ?" Please answer that, because what you posted... didn't.

! Moderator Note You need to address the questions that have been posed to you by other members, rather than continuing to quote yourself and repeat yourself over and over. Otherwise you are soapboxing, and that's not allowed in a discussion here. Especially address the non-mainstream aspects of your ideas, and support them with some kind of evidence, or be more rigorous in your reasoning.

! Moderator Note Posting only a video is against the rules, so that last post has gone to the Trash. People need to be able to participate in the discussion without watching a video or going offsite.

It's reasonable though, given your biases and tendency to assert without support. Do you think this is interesting or meaningful? Not to me. It certainly didn't answer my question about what laws you think have been violated.

I really want a T-shirt that says, "I see nothing! I was not here! I did not even get UP this morning!"

Um, what?! Can you show me something that is allowed to violate a law in order to give rise to the law? What isn't subject to the Law of Conservation of Energy? I can appreciate that nothing I've heard of violates this law.

Sorry, but science can answer "What makes the sky appear blue?", but not "why". Why do you want to remove the meaning from a wonderful word like "why", and equate it with "what" or "how"? Definitions are critical when you are discussing science.
