Now that things are going great at Reddit and elsewhere I may soon need to stop posting in this cesspool of a forum. I had enough arguing with assholes.

If you don't even know that much, I'd recommend you go do some basic reading on the topic before coming back here, because all you're doing now is embarrassing yourself.

Like I said, Darwin got a lot wrong about evolutionary theory. That doesn't matter in the least to modern evolutionary theory. The only people who would make that mistake are people like you, who don't understand the scientific process.

If you do not know a lot about science, there is nothing wrong with that, and literally hundreds of people would leap at the chance to teach you almost anything you wanna know. But if you are going to act like you know stuff and then make nonsense up on the fly, you are trapping yourself in ignorance.

You don't understand science. I don't need to present you scientific evidence disproving something, that has never been proven, because it doesn't even make sense. What you are saying is basically something like "Show me scientific evidence that rules out that the color purple smells like anger."

coldfirephoenix 1 point 4 days ago

First of all, even if your claim had made sense to begin with, the burden of proof would still be on you to support it, not on anyone else to prove it's not possible. That's how science works. But that's a moot point anyway, because your inital claim was utter nonsense. I explained how and why it was utter nonsense. Your response missed the entire point.

I'm with the other guys: you can't make logical connections or distinguish fantasy from reality. You need some serious mental help. I don't mean that maliciously, I mean that seriously.

coldfirephoenix 1 point 4 days ago
Are you for real? I just explained this to you. I explained WHY your idea lacks any plausible mechanism by which it could function. And I explained to you that YOU need to be able to support your claims in science, it's not up to anyone else to disprove them. That which is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. And of course you don't have any, because your claim doesn't even make sense.


Gotta love this one:

The thing is, I don't think he's trolling. I think he actually has mental problems. Read some of his post. Read his rambling, incoherent mess of a blog post he calls a theory (because he does not know what a theory is). I am not kidding, everything about him seem to be giant warning signs that he is literally unable to make logical connections, and to distinguish his fantasy world from the real one. I genuinely think, that in his head, this all makes sense.

Ship of fools is more like it.


Regarding the comment by DevilDocNowCiv, when Person A dumps a huge pile of nonsense on Person B, and Person B's only response is "Politely out of respect, I wish you the best with this", that was not a compliment.  It was politely backing away from a crazy person.

You are still wrong about crocodiles.  Crocodilians vary in their behavior and are opportunistic and comparatively intelligent, but the fathers do not "learn to not eat the food she gathers" for the kids, and the mothers do not gather food for their young.  The mothers protect the young, for a while, by charging at anything or anyone that threatens the young.  The young start hunting independently for their food fairly soon after hatching.  Crocodilians swallow small food whole, but if they stash a large prey item to rot or several of them twist apart a large animal, eating can get messy and there may be lots of bits and pieces washing around for babies and other animals to profit from.  However, feeding in crocodilians is largely selfish, with individuals grabbing whatever they can for themselves, until they are sated.  

(Also, adult crocodilians are not averse to eating baby crocodilians, it has not been shown that fathers recognize their young, and any one mother's clutch of eggs is likely to have been sired by multiple different fathers, despite attempts by males to stop other males from mating with "their" females, which are basically all the females that live in the area that they can control.)  

More generally, why do you always persist in "opening your mouth and removing all doubt"?

www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/n2%E2%81%B1%E2%80%931-this-algorithm-may-be-intelligence#post-782188

And Camp Peavy just sent me this about plants successfully foraging for light, by making predictions:

phys.org/news/2016-12-smart-habits.html

This is the best evidence I have seen. If true then figuring out how the system works now has a starting point.

Also, I sent Bishop Coyner my best along with a link to the Christmas message to those who see no point at all to the holiday.  The primary science leader of the Connecticut Valley Atheists (who were here this summer for a field trip) has been fully informed, and is having a fun holiday too. Only thing needed now is a UMC somewhere between UConn and UMass to say "We can do that!"

Gary (displaying total self-delusion) says

I have a well respected cognitive model doing fine for teaching the basics of in-silico modeling of intelligent living things, including multicellular development caused at the genetic and cellular levels by self-learning systems as well. The phrase "intelligent cause" is this way put into scientific context, resulting in "evolution by intelligent cause" and "evolution by natural selection".
...................

With all said: this model/theory turns the tables on a forum like this one that is used to ending up arguing in circles over Darwinian theory with those who believe "theory of intelligent design" needs that, when the opposite is true. What's left is what makes the theory fly in science, engineering and other fields where it's useful. This totally changes the game, in favor of ID, in a way that critics are scientifically powerless against.

He believes in some sort of intelligently designed process, which kinda looks like evolution, but programmed by an intelligent designer. So, classical I.D. "guided evolution", just with a bunch of inconsistencies thrown in, because if you read his PDF, you'll notice that he starts building on factually nonsensical premises and keeps piling on word salad from there.

That's not an answer, that's a cop out, and the preface already admits to being pseudoscience in the exact same way as the Discovery Institute does.

   I fear that in a major science journal it would easily be published.

It would not, but don't take my word for it, send it in. Let them tell you. It is completely unpublishable on every account.

   And having to come from them would totally devastate the Discovery Institute network's remaining credibility.

That makes no sense whatsoever. You think (wrongly) your blogpost promoting intelligent design would be published in a major peer-reviewed paper, and THAT would hurt the credibility of the discovery institute, who (also wrongly) try to assert that promoting intelligent design is science?

   Unfortunately the journal where Theory of Intelligent Design is supposed to be published in starts with who the author is affiliated with

Oh, do I have good news for you: "Bio-complexity" is not a scientific peer-reviewed journal! Sending it in to them would not accomplish anything in the first place! You said you understand how peer-review works, but the fact that the one thing you want to send your blogpost to is not an actual peer-reviewed journal makes me doubt that. You do understand that it's not just a matter of someone deciding to publish a journal and then saying "We're gonna have all submission peer-reviewed expertly by scientists"? And what's even worse, "Bio-complexity" was founded with the premise of promoting intelligent design, it's another creationist front. So on all accounts, sending your word-salad to them would not accomplish anything.

To get you started, here are some actual peer-reviewed scientific journals:
Nature Biotechnology
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology
PLOS Biology

If you genuinely think your gibberish is science, there should be no reason for you not to send it in. It won't get published, it won't even make it past the first barrier, but at least then you can snap out of this delusion that anything you are doing is even remotely related to science.


As we've been saying, your stuff is not a theory, and doesn't rise to the level of worthwhile science, or even just "science", especially but not solely the incoherent word-salad stuff.  You'd get more out of doing almost anything else.

I have to pass "peer review" every time I speak to others in a relevant field. That's much harder to do on a day to day basis than getting something published in a journal.


First of all, that's not peer review.  It has next to nothing to do with peer review, and you have yet to experience anything even slightly close to peer review.  

Second, for the sake of argument, let's suppose that your communications with people who actually know something about the subjects of your claims did qualify as peer review.  The comments have been uniformly negative and you have learned nothing from them.  So you have not "passed peer review". The closest you have come to peer review, you have failed miserably.  Do your family a favor and do something else.

This is further evidence that the ID Lab model tested operational definition used in the Theory of Intelligent Design is true.

Egads what a load of tripe.  No, it's not evidence for your stuff.  No, operational definitions do not get "tested".  No, your nonsense is not a theory.  No, your nonsense is not true.  

Quote
   Behavior from a system or a device qualifies as intelligent by meeting all four circuit requirements that are required for this ability, which are: (1) A body to control, either real or virtual, with motor muscle(s) including molecular actuators, motor proteins, speakers (linear actuator), write to a screen (arm actuation), motorized wheels (rotary actuator). It is possible for biological intelligence to lose control of body muscles needed for movement yet still be aware of what is happening around itself but this is a condition that makes it impossible to survive on its own and will normally soon perish. (2) Random Access Memory (RAM) addressed by its sensory sensors where each motor action and its associated confidence value are stored as separate data elements. (3) Confidence (central hedonic) system that increments the confidence level of successful motor actions and decrements the confidence value of actions that fail to meet immediate needs. (4) Ability to guess a new memory action when associated confidence level sufficiently decreases. For flagella powered cells a random guess response is designed into the motor system by the reversing of motor direction causing it to “tumble” towards a new heading.
For all the reasons long discussed here, which you have yet to address, let alone resolve, those four "requirements" are not actually requirements and don't make sense.

......
Knowing how this relates to the four requirement operational definition (for obligatory theory of operation explaining how the ID Lab model works) should make it easy to understand what he is saying. You'll know what much of the jargon boils down to and where "Neural Networks" of the future are going. This is not something a science journal reviewer can give you. This is your personally being able to understand what this video is saying as it relates to the ID Lab models where the same is true.

Your theory of operation sucks.  You still lack workable operational definitions for your key terms.

(4) Ability to guess a new memory action when associated confidence level sufficiently decreases. For flagella powered cells a random guess response is designed into the motor system by the reversing of motor direction causing it to “tumble” towards a new heading.
For all the reasons long discussed here, which you have yet to address, let alone resolve, those four "requirements" are not actually requirements and don't make sense.

Knowing how this relates to the four requirement operational definition (for obligatory theory of operation explaining how the ID Lab model works) should make it easy to understand what he is saying. You'll know what much of the jargon boils down to and where "Neural Networks" of the future are going. This is not something a science journal reviewer can give you. This is your personally being able to understand what this video is saying as it relates to the ID Lab models where the same is true.

Your theory of operation sucks.  You still lack workable operational definitions for your key terms.

I don't have the time or the intestinal fortitude to chase Gary all over the web, but I have a question for those who do: does he ever link to ATBC and tell everyone how well he's doing here?

And yet here you are.  You apparently aren't smart enough to avoid the shock zone.

But you most certainly do not "stay far away from" this forum, Gaulin. Like, 20 posts this month alone.

Hm.

I'm curious, Gaulin: Whyever do you persist in participating in a "forum [which] qualifies as a toilet that's best to stay far away from"?

I occasionally need to take a dump here, mostly for revenge I guess.

But some might like this fresh air!

I don't go chasing Gary around the web, but occasionally follow the links he provides when attempting to make himself appear important.

I don't recall that he has ever linked back to AtBC, where things are going greater* for him than anywhere else.

I will say that recent interaction with Gary over at Reddit where "things are going great*" is quite entertaining and incisive as the following post speaking about Gary attests to.

I wanted to join the debate, but now I'm convinced the poster suffers from a serious mental illness.

He seems to be trying to organize his feverish mind alongside a 1979 hobby robotics book. That's probably where he gets his "molecular intelligence" (bottom-up AI design), his obsession with RAM, and other concepts he misuses.

The computer "model" is the most insane piece of code I've ever seen this side of TempleOS. Motors, stomach lining, and a reimplemented atan2 function, with a helpful comment that it behaves just like the library version, all crammed together in VB Forms.

I wish we could get him to seek professional help.


* again, for some values of great as defined by Gary
