There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that, 50 years from now, sandal shod saffron robed acolytes will dance in our city streets beating tambourines and chanting McFall posts.
There is similarly no doubt in my mind that 100 years from now, theirs will be the dominant religion.

What's all this against Brad?
He seems like a thoroughly decent participant to me. He's "out there" for sure. He says he's from New York. That makes sense if New York is a virtual planetesimal suspended in the particle flux of the 11th dimension. Seriously though, he is often very hard to figure out, but he does make good points. Is there some drive to banish all the character from EvC that no one told me about? Edited by RickJB, : No reason given. Edited by RickJB, : No reason given.

This will of course lead to the Great Sandals War that will rage for 100 years until it is decisively won by the Barefoot Mcfallians. Though initially at a disadvantage in armaments, they finally prevail when then unleash a phalanx of Bradley armored vehicles (that's phalanx Faith, not phallus). Their theological control of the planet complete, they declare themselves the followers of the Prince of Posts. His kingdom come in the neo-Kantian sense of the disproportionation of the universal Gladishevianistic entirety as we ready deduce from the axioms of abstract realizations in, of, and about Ptolomeic mechanics.

The photographer asked, "What are you looking forward to?"
I answered, "A future without the Web." Well I guess that is joke now, but then, well, I was serious.

AJ, sometimes I wonder if the admins here are too nervous about people making offensive comments and people taking offense at offensive comments. My one sentence comment to brad was may be tasteless but I don't see it as offensive at all. Brad obviously recognizes the fact that other people have trouble keeping track with what he says. He is also obviously a calm person who doesn't take offense too easily. To suggest that brad could be so easily offended by such a pat-on-the-back as well as friendly gestured comment such as mine to him could very well be viewed as an offense to brad himself.

Following the Kantian dictum that percepts without concepts are blind but concepts without percepts empty, these two categories interpenetrate as “pure” data suggest novel ideas (how can one not rethink the causes of mass extinction when evidence surfaces for a bolide, 7-10 km in diameter, and packing 104 the megatonnage of all the earth’s nuclear weapons combined), whereas “abstract” concepts then taxonomize the natural world in different ways, often “creating” data that had never been granted enough previous intellectual space even to be conceived (as when punctuated equilibrium made stasis a theoretically meaningful and interesting phenomenon, and not just an embarrassing failure to detect “evolution,” in its traditional definition of gradual change - and paleontologists then began active studies of a subject that had previously been ignored as uninteresting, if conceptualized at all). and
On the basis of Kant's saying in this passage above, I "predicted" that there should be creatures that might live within a torpid an ossified Earth and so I went looking for creatures that might be able to use the fossil concavities to facilitate embryogeny. Within two hours I had found mites that lay eggs in cavities of shell fossils. I did not follow up the initial retrodiction however as you have started to do going backward through Kant's Critique. It is wonderful that you seemed interesting in reading Kant this way. I have been waiting for some one so inclined to discuss with. I will respond with fuller use of the Kantian text next time. It's quite amazing how closely linked Gould and Brad are. I wanted to add this thought before the thread reached 300, so excuse me if the thought has been expressed in an 'unpolished' form (which would be homogenously expressed as thus) - since few others have seen the so called polishing stick, making it difficult to get a good shine (in a "reflective" sense) on the surface of the argument (which is less an argument than a thought, a brain construct) - but I'm sure you will since you are all fine folk here (mostly (with a few (or more than a few) exceptions)). Thinking about it Brad makes more sense than Gould sometimes.

Brad writes: A future without the web.... Heh. Amazing how quickly such an idea has become almost unthinkable to so many people in the space of just ten years or so...

Let it be noted that I was the first prophet, heralding the McFALL!!!

"I'm sorry, but Archer Opterix has thoroughly disproved the "mysterious ways" of Brad McFall. He is no god, but a demon (if you really, really wish to still deify him).

Repent ye miserable sinner for the end (the much dreaded 300th post!) is neigh and only those who have found the true way shall find the true way. AO's post merely proves that The McFall is the one and true Intelligent Designer for the process he describes is exactly the one followed by every experienced engineer. Just ask Faith what she has learned about the engineering that went into her computer.

Nay! It is ye that follow a flase* God. The false God McFall is no mystery, AO has shown this to all who dare contemplate his word. By refusing to submit to his God of reason, you shall henceforth be known as demon-beast of the flase God McFall. Rot in Fall!
in all seriousness, though, I love this statement:
and only those who have found the true way shall find the true way I just can't stop laughing. * don't ask me what flase means. I cannot be bothered to define new words to those that would seek the true path by following the flase God McFall. (it might be similar to false, but who am I to question what the AO-OA exarc says?)

The question is in real life does brad talk like... the way we see him talk here? I mean, if I am to bump into brad mcfall tomorrow, will I be able to understand him or will I be asking him to repeat himself over and over?
