I found it so as well. Perhaps that's why I have no trouble at all believing that it is indeed Brad.

Re: Movie with Brad sound no avail
I agree it's difficult to get some analog tapes converted to decent-sounding .wav files. Ironically it all makes more sense since you've explained it. I just thought it was kinda funny since us readers often have difficulty with your posts.
Incidentally, many of your more recent posts are easier to understand. It's apparent that you've been working on it and I for one appreciate it.

That's much clearer, Brad. Is that you talking?

Re: 2nd verse same mov as first,little softer
Brad, I can't remember who it was who asked about a recording of your voice, but the point was to find out if you make more sense talking than you do writing. Anyone who listens to your latest tape is bound to conclude that you do. One would never guess that you have any communication difficulties whatsoever from hearing that tape. You make perfect sense.
The suggestion, as I recall it, was that if you make perfect sense when speaking, then perhaps the next time you wish to explain a complicated concept, especially if it has anything to do with anyone like Kant or Gladyshev, that you record what you want to say on a tape recorder, then play it back and type precisely what you said. Maybe you could try it?

Interesting thought. And since, as you say, you are the topic of this thread, can I ask what some of your favorite movies might be?

I put that up just so you would know that I was thinking of you and wasnt trying to avoid you.
In a thread about mathematics? But I hate mathematics. The only reason I clicked on that thread at all was because I saw your name on it. Had someone else responded your name would have been gone and I'd probably have never noticed that post.
In the other thread, you said:
quote:
Berberry, yes, I will do some new clear audio posts, I just dont know yet what the most clearest thing is that needs to be said.
What I'm most interested in hearing you discuss on tape is your view on creationism and evolution. I've read a number of your posts on those topics but I still don't have a clear idea of where you stand.

Re: Audio is NOW here.
This one doesn't sound as good, Brad. I think you let the green audio clip too far into the red. I can only make out a few words, not enough to understand anything.

Tranquility Base did it best in the Brad McFall thread from a couple years ago. Start at post 20 and read through 23. Then jump to post 29 and read through post 33.

Heavy Metal
I think I'm following you fairly well, Brad. Your writing is much better than it used to be. From your quote:
Lauden criticizes Overton's claims about the nature of science, arguing that although creationism should be rejected, such rejection should be on the basis of its being bad science rather than nonscience.
I don't understand the distinction. Creation "science" doesn't follow the scientific method. It isn't science, so I would lean toward calling it nonscience.
Nothing wrong with creationism, mind you, I just prefer to think of it as religion and not science. If creationism were not being promoted as though it were science there probably would be no need for this message board.
quote:
There are others here who have not made this thread the snake's rattle and concluded with me that SOME SCIENCE since the 60s exists due to interest in Christian Science but let me not make too much heavy metal out of it as I have not discussed the movie that makes it all thus disappear on the couch.
Loc-Nar!!! You're kidding me! Heavy Metal is one of your favorite movies? God I haven't seen that picture in years. I remember Loc-Nar, though. Some of the sequences were quite good, and I can see why the film would appeal to someone who seems to love philosophy as much as you apparently do.
EDITED to add subtitle.

Re: 2nd verse same mov as first,little softer
Wow, Brad, I was so excited about the previous paragraph that I forgot about this one:
quote:
I can email a nonphone copy of the sound with moving pictures from STEAMLOAD if you want to offer out your email else you will have to wait till this evening till the other host perhaps has the picture version with less sound available.
I changed my profile to allow email (I didn't realize that I had it disallowed).

Brad, if you can find a way to reduce those to a fairly short paragraph or two you'll be doing yourself and everyone else a favor. You are much easier to understand when you condense something into a few words.

I opened and read it. Interesting in that it criticizes some aspects of ID from a creo perspective, but I'm not sure why you wanted me to read it.

It had me in stitches the first time I read through it. TB was funny, but Brad's sense of humor came through loud and clear as well. He has an incredibly dry wit that no doubt usually goes right over our heads. When it's accessible it's wonderful.

So do I, very much. I know he must get frustrated trying to tell us things we can't understand. I just hope he never gets so frustrated that he quits posting. That would be a loss for us.

Skimming his posts you can discern occasional bits of true genius and a great deal of knowledge, as well as a finely-honed self-deprecating sense of humor. Maybe someday...
From my perspective he's become somewhat easier to understand recently. It sometimes requires more than one reading to get his point, but if the post is relatively short a second read-through can be rewarding. Another thing that can help is to google the names that he drops.

Brad and I have drifted off-topic in the cloning thread, so I'm going to respond to his latest post to me here instead of there.
quote:
You can not disagree with me about ID lest you let Greene opinion BE the norm of rejecting scientists like me from ever becomeing educated. Too bad, I already am.
I never once doubted that you were educated, Brad. But I still think ID is more properly classified as philosophy rather than science. That in no way lessens the importance of the ideas behind ID, at least as I see it. Philosophy can be just as important as science but in a different way and for different reasons.
quote:
From this opnion of your and Greenes's which isnt objectionable intself not only came the inabilty to cognize what I said about life making BUT AND CRUCIALLY it sociall ALREADY supported PSYCHIATRY removing individuals, such as my self, from culture.
You've been removed from culture because of your ideas regarding ID and science? That sounds terrible but if the only reason for doing such a thing to you was your ideas regarding ID and science then someone somewhere has done much worse than make a "mistake", they've done you a horrible injustice. I may think you're wrong but I certainly don't think you should be removed from society. Not only is it an injustice to you but it's a loss for society.
quote:
It's the elite and the money that gets its philsophical way.
I agree.
