Mike,
He might not be able to articulate what he is thinking. You really think? This is what I find frustrating about Brad. He HAS something to say. He DOES punctuate, but only when it suits him. Every other time he simply can't be arsed. What particular syndrome would you associate with can't-be-arsed-I'll-punctuate-in-this-post-but-write-120-word- sentences-in-the-next-five-without-any-commas-at-all? It's laziness-pulling-your-pisser-syndrome! Since I'm the one to discovered it, do I get to name it? Don't be fooled, Mike. He can do it, the regular posters have seen him, he just can't be arsed to. If I'm to be criticised at all, it's that I should have ignored him.

I'm going to stick with my Brad-is-God theory for now.

Mark you had asked me to not post to you. I thought I had honored that, even in your (own) mind. I am sorry I was wrong about you. I really did not have time last night. There is a *high* ^bar^ that one must BE over to speak TRUTH, at least here in the USA. I hope that I have approached that. Yes, I had a little trouble sleeping knowing that you were not satisfied, but you must understand that I DO NOT agree with standard interpretations of "national" differences in research traditions (in biology) while it is TRUE that that by Kant's standards there is a REASONABLE difference between Georgi's view and my point.
I am not going to bore you with family matters or how it is that I know any more what I do, but I want to make things very clear between you, me and mike so, I will let you know that my Grandmother (an agnositc) is a "WARD" on the line a brother away from ARTIMIS WARD who was ^up^ for the job of commanding the US's revolutionary Army against George Washington. As you know history, it was George who got the job leaving Artimis a Statue in DC and leader of the battle in Boston. It is for this reason that I can say that I need not have T with you and Mike. And though I would gladly take the time to figure out what part of biology you would most like to have me rigorously quote and cite, I see by your last remark that you couldnt honor my statement that I would respond to Mike plainly this time. The bar IS high and yes, I should have only typed "no" to you last time and left it at that. Factually, and now I dont feel like taking the time to get the info in proper prose, I wanted to have you learn if you did not otherwise for any tribe, race or national difference that what I write as c/e or c/e or any side(whatever!)WAS BOTH Gould's notion of "adaptive hardening" and Monod's that "induction" WAS the concept of adaptation. Understanding the shifting balance theory without KNOWING that "adaptive" meant many social things as well, for the biologists two generations back, belies a posterity that GS Carter probably wrote in the 59period (A HUNDRED YEARS OF EVOLUTION) as contained across two generations, except that once I found Croizat writing about biology in the US, I UNDERSTOOD (at once) that at least one European knew better and was wise, to anything I could have said.

It's okay Brad. You are not obliged to take my test anyway. I was just wondering because I seen a program and this guy knew what to say - he just had difficulty expressing it and so I thought "maybe" - But then my assumption that you have difficulty might not be justified. BTW - those first two paragraphs were more coherent to my mind - but not necessarily to an omniscient one. (Lam logic included)
So my assumption may be false if you like. Either way - you don't have to lose sleep. I think Mark's "f*wit" comment was not good. I think he was just frustrated though. This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 08-04-2004 04:05 PM

I am not taking it away. I was "ordained" as a Presbyterian ELDER and I DO ASSOCIATE MY SELF AS A YEC. I even wanted to show up for the Baraminology Conference this year. I meant as much in http://EvC Forum: yEC IT is. -->EvC Forum: yEC IT is.
There have been some wrinkles in my thoughts since reading Georgi's work, but because I do not have quantum mechanics under my hat I have gained a better understand of space in dx/dy and not time, in any dz/dt etc. I have learned things that go nontheless from the disjunctive understanding of baraminology. It is possible for taxogenists of any stripe to find this out continually. I dont know. I have even had a "wierd" idea that phage tails and sperm tails are the same in this "sense" But we'll leave that, to another time. I understand that Georgi is not for choosing creationism but I can not be so sure that most of the problem is not nonlinear and nonequilibrium thinking which IN FACT I DO KNOW, thanks to Georgi's correspondence which VALIDATED MY OWN EXPERIENCE, that this is, a HUGE problem. It IS something we could get beyond here at EVC but first we need to understand (this) it. This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 08-04-2004 04:27 PM

Well, quite clearly you have a fair amount of knowledge. So if you are Yec - what the hec, it's all good to me. Because nowadays the issue of evo/creo doesn't concern me, I feel I was "pulled" into it by my own curiosity matrix. So - you might qualify as a bumble bee, but I shall remain a fly. Thanks for the link but I am not really that clever. I leave all the serious thought to the boffin-brigade, but now I see your link and I have never noticed that topics existence untill now. I guess you take on Humphrey's Gravitational time dilation? This is a big question mark, but ofcourse - you don't need many words to explain to a mere fly. So sorry about the false assumption "thing". (I wonder if Buz is a bee or a fly) The "Buz" in "saw" has left me guessing.
Anyway - since I'm a loon it doesn't matter why your posts are Lam-logic. I am glad of your membership, cos if anyone is a loon - it's me, ask Asgara.

It seems that Georgi might have had that one in mind when he referred in print in Russia and in other Journals -to EVC.

Brad,
There is still something very computery about your prolix posts. A little feel of Burroughs cutups. Wonder if you use computer assisted word substitutions or phrases. Sometimes sound like a human imitating a turing machine. Sometimes a person there but sometimes pure random generation like a program operating on the material. I suspect a dry parody of academe, perhaps? peace,lfen

Yaro,
Thanks for the lead. Now I'm reading a Steven Levy Wired interview with Stephen Wolfram. Has there been any discussion of A New Kind of Science here? The Man Who Cracked The Code to Everything ... | WIRED Is there a possiblity that Brad's writing is somehow connected to Wolfram's theories? I'm beginning to feel like a character in a Pynchon novel. I may be on to something then again not but the mystery only grows thicker as the prolix grows denser. lfen

What particular syndrome would you associate with can't-be-arsed-I'll-punctuate-in-this-post-but-write-120-word- sentences-in-the-next-five-without-any-commas-at-all? I actually met a guy like this at Joe Muggs coffee shop one night. I met two other people that were having some kind of theological discussion and this guy would just spin off of something someone said and mention random people and ideological terms that had the tinge of some kind of subterranean knowledge, but really didn't make any sense at all. It was like he had below average intelligence yet had sucked in everything he had ever heard, but when he regurgitated it, it made no sense. Like an idiot-sevant maybe? Like rain-man? The two other people trying to have a deep theological conversation just ignored him after a while. I think Brad believes that e/c and c/e might as well be the same, yet he leans towards "c" being a CREATIONist. I think, He thinks atheism and theism is only divided by a opacity of perception... or something like that. Brad, what day of the week is January 23, 2281?

Wednesday.
How can you measure your intelligence when there are so many aspects to it? (Another topic maybe). For example - those with a low IQ, may well have a highly intelligent talent/ability for something particular.

Welcome SW.
I note that all of your postings so far are in this topic. What does this mean? BTW, really like your name. Moose
