Alan Fox and David Kellogg- nested hierarchy ignorant
Alan Fox and David Kellogg- nested hierarchy ignorant

Over on uncommon descent, both Alan Fox and David Kellogg have tried (and failed) to tell me that the theory of evolution predicts a nested hierarchy.

In an attempt to try to reason with them I asked them if evolution had a direction. They both agreed that it does not.

The next step was to ask them if nested hierarchies required a direction of additive characteristics. They both agreed that NH does not require a direction.

I provided a definition of nested hierarchy that stated nested hierarchies involve levels which consist of, and contain, lower levels.

That means if defining characteristics are lost then containment is also lost, therefor nested hierarchy is lost.

And if defining characteristics stay the same then we remain with that set- no nested hierarchy.

   Note how, as in any hierarchic system, the divisions are clear in a systematic way, becoming increasingly intense as the hierarchy is ascended.



After reasoning with these dolts didn’t work I asked them to provide an example of a nested hierarchy in which the characteristics were not additive.

Did they provide one?

Nope. Instead Kellogg pulled his head out of his ass long enough to tell me that I am incapable of being reasoned with!

And yet he has never provided any reasoning to support his position!!!!

You are a piece of shit Kellogg and you had better hope we never meet even though I am going to try to make that happen.


oh yeah.  the only thing that is getting increasingly intense is the Mullah Joe G's blood pressure.  and maybe the pressure on his prostate gland as he squinches that butt plug while chewing that can of spinach open with his teeth.

Mysterious Definition of Nested Hierarchy?
David Kellogg believes that I am unable to be reasoned with because he told me, without any support, that the few evolutionary scientists I disagree with pertaining to nested hierarchy and the theory of evolution, use a different definition of a nested hierarchy.

Did you get that?

They do not use the standard and accepted definition that I and the majority of people use, they have some ultra-secret version only they can understand.

So how about Kellogg- can you produce the allegedly different version of nested hierarchy that those evolutionary scientists use?

I promise I will do my best to understand but I first have to know what it is I am supposed to be understanding.


this fool is a stark raving lunatic.  

Joe, either go get some professional help, or run for your local school board.  please don't do both that would be boring.

Here's Joe's basic problem when Alan and David say unguided they mean within the constraints of available pathways. Very, very simply put cars can only drive on roads or "available landscape".

Joe thinks unguided means that lead can turn into gold by means of ghosts.

Quote

The next step was to ask them if nested hierarchies required a direction of additive characteristics. They both agreed that NH does not require a direction.


Joe fails to understand that Time is "a now" that once it has passed the apocryphal time stationary observer that somehow managed to find a seat on a time machine proceeding backwards through time at the same rate as time is moving forward. What will be observed is only an unmoving  snapshot of the NH forever never changing.

The question postmodernist city boy Joe needs to ask himself is 'can a tree start growing in mid air with unsupported branches' or do 'adults grow into children'.


Quote

Not levels, branches.

Quote

That means if defining characteristics are lost then containment is also lost, therefor nested hierarchy is lost.


Branchless leaves? I think not.

Wrong.
Why Joe?

Dolts and reasoning don't go together do they?.....Joe?

Quote

Nope. Instead Kellogg pulled his head out of his ass long enough to tell me that I am incapable of being reasoned with!


And your point?

Quote

Well actually Joe, you have provided the evidence to support Kellogg's position.... time and again

As Mynamehere, I'm trying to communicate with him on the nested hierarchies issue. After I started, I realized that I don't even know why it's an issue! But hey, it's all about getting some insight into how other people see the universe.

It may be useless to try and understand him, but does anybody know what Joe means when he says:

Umm the whole tree [of life] is caput, not just the base.

But that is NOT evidence against universal common descent.


How can the caputness of the tree of life not be evidence against universal common descent?

On this thread.

Yes, I know it's kaput with a k, but there's only so many hours in a day.

No, nobody understands anything Joe says.  I believe the primary reason for this is that Joe has no grasp of nor regard for basics.  He attacks everything and everyone from the end result and will never even venture an opinion on basic building blocks, rules, hypotheses, etc.

To Joe there is only a peanut butter sandwich--there is no bread, knife, or jar of peanut butter.

Joe explains:
Quote
Why did I leave biology?

Once I figured out the the theory of evolution was BS, I started challenging my professors only to learn that they only cared about defending the orthodoxy.

I went to school to learn not to be indoctrinated.

So I returned to my number one passion of electronic technology & electricty.

Engineering is far more challenging and rewarding than being a research scientist- and yes I have done both.

And I got to travel the world- every continent except Antartica and Austrailia- more countries than we have states.

And probably did more damage to the image of the United States abroad than George W. hisself.

Alan pwns Joe:

Alan:  Just out of curiosity, Joe, was this for long, and was it at a recognized academic institution?

Joe:   Was what for long?

Alan:  The time you spent studying to be a marine biologist.

Joe:   And I doubt you would recognize any academic institution of higher learning.

Alan:  But I could write to them asking they improve their teaching on nested hierarchies.

I can't get specific as it deals with security. If you can get a security clearance I could show you what I do.

Then there is astronomy. On any given night I can have 3 telescopes pointing skyward. 2 4,5" aps with a 910mm FL(one automated and one manual) as well as a 10" ap with an 1125mm FL.

And that is just the tip of the ole iceberg.

That doesn't count the experiments I conduct in my basement. Some labs would be jealous of the equipment I house & use there.

For example I now know that ticks are more attracted to watermelon rinds then they are to orange peels or orange slices. I also know that dragonflies play.

Someone is unfamiliar with security. In addition to a clearance, you must have a need to know for the specific information. And that assumes you are part of the project or in command over the project.

i guess it was the advertising of it that pointed it out to you.  shit.  

well now that i am caught...

ya see i like refrigerators because they don't say silly bullshit nonsense like you darwinists.  would you like to meet so i can write that on your forehead?  

who here can prove that the difference in the dodo and the auk is the result of unplanned random genetic accidents?  until then pound sand i do more science in my basement than all of you darwinists could dream of doing if you didn't use the academy like moneychangers.

allah akbar  i'm going to my blog and write a post about how nested hierarchies don't even exist and they prove that you are all a bunch of darwinist losers

On the surface, sure, it seems to fit.  They both come across as that homeless guy wandering around downtown babbling incoherently to himself, while wearing three sweaters and 4 coats in the middle of August.

But when you really listen to them, there is a big difference.  Erasmus is good-naturedly muttering about the fuzzy critters and pretty flowers.  Joe is going on about how he and AllahJesus are going to track you down and kick your ass.

HTH.

He has at the very least to be in violation of Blogger content policy. As in favour as I am of the unfettered free exchange of ideas, I think Joe abuses the privilege. We should complain. As he has moderation enabled, I feel justified in complaining direct to Blogger without first attempting to get him to retract.
