H-D isn't what it used to be according to Stephen ben Yeshua

I'd like to see HD discussions centralized here rather than spread across several threads as they are now. I made this comment in Message 168 of The best scientific method thread: --Percy

Hi, Stephen!I'm curious about your scientific work. I found this description in Evolving Behavioural Choice: An Investigation into Herrnstein's Matching Law: So it seems that at one time you accepted the theory of evolution. Perhaps you could describe and contrast for us the concepts of ideal-free distribution and ideal-despotic distribution developed by yourself and Henry Lucas, and compare them to the concept of Inclusive Fitness Distribution introduced by Morris, Lundberg and Ripa. It would also be relevant if you touched on how subjective Bayesianism contributed to your research.Most importantly, please describe how you came to abandon your ideas and reject evolution.--Percy

Hi, Stephen!Thank you for taking the time to write that fascinating summary of your early scientific career. What struck me was the contrast between your work with birds and your work with prayer studies. You say: In contrast to your work with birds, this appears to have no scientific foundation. It seems to be completely subjective because the only way we know you communicated with Jehovah, and know the contents of that communication, is your say so, and it's probably a pretty safe bet that you published no peer reviewed papers on this.Your bird work had a scientific foundation in the form of objective data that you gathered from nature. Your prayer work is just the opposite, having only subjective personal data. Can you see why your early work was widely cited while your later work is ignored?--Percy

And yet strangely reminiscent of TrueCreation's original avatar. He changed avatars, though, so I can't show it here. Perhaps some remember it?--Percy

I guess I'd describe it as scary but alluring. Anyone want to attempt to describe TrueCreation's original avatar?--Percy
