Re: All About Eccentricity
Brad, that was one of your most clear posts to date. I think you have explained that your complex educated thoughts compel you to think differently from others, in that you can remember detailed information and can expunge our posts at will.
If you could write every post like you did this one, I think people would read your posts more. It's ironic Brad, that all your posts that take a lot of effort, will be the ignored ones.
You have to realize that the average person can understand posts such as this one, and I think it would benefit you to try and realize that the average person doesn't know about all of this information about Gould and Gladyshev, even though you've been dropping those names for years. (What happened to Matchet? - whoever he is. )
Listen - we are just far lazier thinkers than you - so you're going to have to learn to talk with the intention to communicate to us lesser folk.
I see that this place is your outlet for intellectual thought, but it would be great if you could communicate like this every time.
Best wishes, wiz of a wiz.

Re: All About Eccentricity
Mike, I also thought that Brad was clear and concise in his explanatory response to my queries...but...I don't believe that he owes anyone anything!
I agree. But then, for all we know he could have had a bet and lost, and ran away. So perhaps he does owe somebody something.
Mr. McFall.....one more question: Are you optimistic about the future of humanity?
Philosophat strikes again.

Re: All About EvC
As far as I'm concerned, a homosapien of the past has the same abilities as a modern human. I don't see why they couldn't do everything we can do if they were so taught. That you stretched the definition of human to your own means via equivocation, doesn't mean we should oblige your definition.
This is your attempt to argue that there is only a quantitive "unique" aspect to humans, however, that assumes that any quantitive credence is therefore not qualititive credence. However, that popular dichotomy is false, because if a quantitive difference is only the result of the fourth dimension, then only time has stopped those traits being shown previously. i.e. humans have only developed internet from their abilities NOW because they needed time itself in order to do so - and large population. (Yet other species outdo us in population - u might want to remember that point before you pounce on my irrefutable countenance)
Since we can assume all creatures are on par fourth dimensionally, because we evolved from the same single celled organism, then we can assume that the rudimentary similarities in other creatures, is the sum of their abilities, in regards to those brilliant abilities in us.
Logically, this would mean that comparing rudimentary capabilities in animals would be quite valid - but the scale and sophistication-level being evaluated as the equivalent of their success, would also be valid.
Therefore I think it is reasonable to assume that they have reached any peak they can reach, from their given talents.
I can not conclude much from this, other than that we have been given the ability - or evolved the ability, to simply be brilliant in these areas. I understand the person who sees humans on the same par as animals. Universally, that's correct, as the lion can eat me at any time.
But their are no allusions in phat's posts, as Taz was so eager to conclude, as infact Phat is merely being stoical, bordering on superman's cheese-level, as per usual. It won't be long before we see him in those dreadful blue tights, saying that he will serve truth and justice in the american way.

" 'My dear Watson,' said he, 'I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate oneself is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers. " - Sherlock Holmes,(The Greek Interpreter)

Re: All About EvC
Hi Brad - thanks for your message. I just want to say that I can understand your frustrations, and on my own small level have some of my own.
You're not obliged to explain yourself to me, so don't busting a gut with any further explanations. All i will say is that I think your efforts on yur website and in your writings, have proven that you have important insight, and not to be too frustrated with fellow-intellects in your life, as they, I think, for most part, are burdened and frustrated to a similar degree. I.e. You will be in the same boat as them, and if God does exist, I'm sure he won't let your findings go unnoticed forever.
Regards, the irrefutable wizard with the tongues of unbreakable truths.

I confess I was going to write an inapropriate and rather cruel message to Rrhain. LMAO. Here it is in all it's glory. I admitt that it's entirely created for my own amusement so do forgive me, but the mike-crowd might want to read it, and I'm sure Dan is one of them;
Phat said "welcome back Rrhain". Is it usual for you to forego common courtesy when you are on internet boards?
Forgive me for assuming that he is a valid human being worthy of a response, even from Rrhain. Here I'll help you; Perhaps in future you could say, "thanks Phat, and by the way, I see you as more than a piece of irrelevant gue on my shoe even if you are a Christian I vehemently detest".
Forgive me if it seems I am teaching you basic manners, I assume your coveted reputation held water, and I've heard that any advanced species is excellent in all areas, including pleasantries.
Forgive my numerous spelling errors and misapplied terms, but the temptation to sound pompous and have a good vocabulalararalyaryy always gets the better of me. Please ignore my painful honesty, but am I being harsh in not kissing your arse? perhaps I'll just be phat's baseball bat, and beat the hell out of you for being more informed than him.
Don't worry Tony, most of this post I'm just expanding my mikeyisms to an altogether different plain. Your hopes in Rrhain's reign still hold water I'm sure. mike is simply giving him a home-coming spank, and showing him that atleast one Christian will never kiss his arse in the hopes of becoming one of his deatheaters.
