You are becoming crazy, like dazz! lol!

1, About Peer-Review. I don't care about the peer-reviewers since they did not understand my new discoveries. If you want to see the documentary, I've written a book about this and you can see the e-mails that we had made..and see for yourself! You had never seen my manuscripts! LOL!

2. About science books. Yes. If your science is really correct and if you have a nerve or confidence to say that I am wrong and you are right, you should write book about that and publish it. But of course, you must include at least one experiment showing that your version of "intelligence" is right! BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA of the topic of intelligence and you rant a lot!

LOL!

How about this "experiment"?

Problem: Drop an egg and keep it from breaking.

Solution: Put ONE piece of rag below.

Result: The egg doesn't break

You run this same "experiment" and you concluded that because you were "intellen" and you found a solution with more that one paper tissue, then multiple solutions implied "intellen"

I run the same experiment and I concluded the opposite: that one solution is "intellen"

Hence, you are disproved with your own "experiment"

Can you take down your books now please? Thank you

Good!


But that experiment had violated the rules of nature, the very nature that we've been talking to: eat and hungry.

Hungry is problem, eat is solution ...symmetry

egg is problem...rag is solution...symmetry...thus, you made just an instinct and not intelligence...

Thus, I will never delete all my science books!

The experiment did not violate the "rules of nature".
Experiments are meant to test rules, and this one was meant to test your "rules of nature" and lo and behold, your rules didn't pass the test. So your rules are debunked.

Or you mean to tell me that there's no conceivable experiment that could ever disprove your theory?

Edgar, what validates your insights and intuitions?
What experiments support your work?
What experiment(s) would falsify your results?

If the only support you have for your nonsense is your own high opinion of them, then you have nothing but unfounded opinion.  That is not science.
That is not technology.

You cannot identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for intelligence.
You cannot provide an operational definition for intelligence.

Your "example" of 'hungry therefore eat' falls to the criticisms I and others have made.  "Eat" is a problem that has far more than 3 possible solutions.  Even in the most trivial, one can consume solid food, liquid food, or be fed via an intravenous drip.  So eating is clearly, by your own standards 'intellen'.

You have not justification for your terms 'intellen' and 'naturen'.
Worse, you assume a large part of your "conclusion" when you assert without evidence, reason or logic, that intelligence is not a natural phenomenon.
What counts as an unnatural phenomenon?  That which occurs occurs in nature.  That's what the words mean.

Edgar, what validates your insights and intuitions?
ME: My science.

Non-responsive.
Not only is this not how a scientist would answer the question, it is based on your delusion that what you are doing is science.  As shown above, by myself and others, what you are doing is in no way, shape, or form science.


 
Quote
What experiments support your work?
ME: I have gioven you an empirical evidence that you yourself can confirm and test.

Non-reponsive.
This is not how a genuine scientist would respond.
Your 'empirical evidence' has been blown out of the water for its absurdity.  It is vague, overgeneralized, and has to be force-fit into your pseudo-analytic structures to be of value to you.
It simply does not do the job of being evidence.
Nor is it an experiment, nor does it suggest any experiment that might be performed.  It presents neither a problem nor a solution, let alone a problem with existing scientific solutions to the actual scientific problem along with suggested tests to show how the (non-existent) proposed new solution could be validated or falsified.
You've got nothing.

 
Quote
What experiment(s) would falsify your results?
ME: Any experiments that could show that intelligence is also a natural phenomenon, no categorization of intellen to naturen.

All experiments show that intelligence is a natural phenomenon.
Please provide an experiment demonstrating the existence of any allegedly 'non-natural' phenomena.
Everything that exists is natural.
Or are you redefining terms in non-standard and unjustified ways again?
We are justified in treating all phenomena as natural barring evidence, reason, and logic that show a phenomenon that cannot be categorized as natural.
You have not done that.
You have, at most, asserted it.
It is not a priori true.  It has not be demonstrated.
You lose, yet again.
And 'intellen' and 'naturen' are your own special terms, meaningless to the world at large, and, based on what we've seen here so far, meaningless to you as well.
They are rhetorical tricks, used ad hoc, inconsistently, lacking operational definition and explanatory power.

 
Quote
If the only support you have for your nonsense is your own high opinion of them, then you have nothing but unfounded opinion.  That is not science.

ME: I don't care if you will not accept my new discoveries.

Then why are you presenting them?  Why have you self-published them?
Acceptance of your ideas clearly matters very much to you.  Yet there is not a single person anywhere, let alone any scientist, who has accepted your ideas.
You lose, yet again.

 
Quote
You cannot identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for intelligence.
You cannot provide an operational definition for intelligence.
ME: That is not true since I've already shown you the natural phenomenon, a symmetry and the intelligent phenomenon is asymmetry..that is so obvious as obvious as the sun!

Except, of course, that you have not.  Every single one of your examples has failed to meet the challenges of criticism raised against them here.
But even so, non-responsive, for what you have provided is not an operational definition.  Not even remotely.
You misuse the terms 'symmetry' and 'asymmetry'.  You juggle words, force fit examples into your predetermined result, usually by cutting off/ignoring all the bits that don't fit (as in "eating = McDonald's = symmetrical, as if Micky D's were the only place to eat).

ME: I said "hungry" and "eat". I did not say the process of eating. Three processes of eating but one principle of eating to satisfy the hunger.

"Eating" is not a principle.  Not in any standard or typical use of the term.
Again, ad hoc explanations selected to fit predetermined conclusions.
This is not how science works!

 
Quote
You have not justification for your terms 'intellen' and 'naturen'.
ME: I did.

Non-responsive.
You did not.
The terms have no operational meaning and can only be applied by you.  Witness dazz's attempts and your inability to grapple with the issues he raises.


 
Quote
Worse, you assume a large part of your "conclusion" when you assert without evidence, reason or logic, that intelligence is not a natural phenomenon.
ME: Yes, intelligence is part of nature but intelligent is not a natural phenomenon since there is also an intelligent phenomenon..

That is incoherent.
If intelligence is a natural phenomenon, then what justifies asserting that 'intelligent phenomenon' are not?
You're assuming your conclusion.


Quote
What counts as an unnatural phenomenon?  That which occurs occurs in nature.  That's what the words mean.
ME: Unnatural phenomenon is an intelligent phenomenon but both of them are part of collective nature.

Gibberish.
Not least, you are violating Ockham's Razor -- you are proliferating entities (and terms) needlessly.

If nature divides into intelligent and unintelligent phenomena, then we already have suitable descriptive terms.  'Naturen' and 'intellen' are junk notions serving no purpose other than to make you feel important.

But worse, you have no operational meanings, no principles (in the proper sense of the term) that can be applied to unambiguously divide the world into intelligent and non-intelligent phenomena.
IOW, you lack the ability to specify, precisely, unambiguously, repeatedly, the necessary and sufficient conditions for classifying any given phenomenon as intelligent or non-intelligent.
We do it all the time, but the principles to uniquely, unambiguously, and repeatedly perform such determinations, by anyone, with justification, is lacking.
You have not helped matters.
Your approach has made things worse.
You don't even know what the problem set contains.  You do not know the prior work.  You do not know logic or science.

So, again, you lose.  You are wrong on all your points.

All dropping of X to Y are all events...but are all events could be categorized? Of course yes, thus, if you made an experiment to categorize processes, then, you will end the same with me.

But if you made an experiment to show the material strength of an item or variable, then, that is engineering! We did it many times in engineering!

Did you get me?

You can't defend with more ad hoc, evasive crap that my experiment is irrelevant or wrong, because it's THE SAME ONE that you used to demonstrate that asymmetry = intellen.

You can't justify why using a rag instead of paper tissues invalidates my version of your own experiment.

You can't resort to a different arbitrary rule  to justify the contradiction, because as already explained to you, all your rules must be consistent or else you have no rules.

You still need to provide with an experiment that could potentially falsify your rules. I'll ask again, and stop dodging the question. Does that experiment exist and what it is if it does?

Here is a thread at talkrational.org in which Edgar said:

"...you can see that bonobo, orangutan, chimps, and the likes don't use "intelligence" but instinct only. When they faced one problem, they have only one solution - thus, it is always symmetrical phenomenon."

Edgar, your lack of knowledge in regard to animals (and lots of other things) is extreme.

I have more questions for you: You've said that the non-existence of the universe (before it existed) was a "problem". So, when the so-called "IA" (intelligent agent, i.e 'God') allegedly created the universe the problem was solved, right? And this universe is one universe, right? So, the so-called "IA" used one solution to solve one problem, right? The "IA" and the universe are therefor "naturen", right? And since the universe includes everything in it, the universe and everything in it is "naturen" according to your 'theory', right?

I'm curious about something else. You believe that the so-called "IA" (intelligent agent, i.e. 'God') existed before the universe existed and that the "IA" has always existed, right? If the "IA" existed before the universe existed and the "IA" always existed the "IA" obviously didn't and doesn't need the universe, which means that the "IA" didn't need to create the universe to solve a "problem". And if the "IA" existed before the universe and always existed, where did the "IA" exist? After all, the "IA" couldn't have existed in the universe before the universe existed, so it had to exist somewhere else, right? Where is that place and what do you think it's like there?

You have a good post and questions.

Yes, I mean that animals are only doing the instinct ways to do...more problems will mean more solutions. One problem will mean one solution..they are all animals and they are not humans.

Yet clearly at least some animals are capable of finding multiple solutions to problems.
Your "problem-solution" counting exercise is ridiculous.
You have no operational definitions for either term.
This renders your usage unscientific, ad hoc, effectively meaningless.

 
Quote
So far, the only known observable physical universe is ours.

Equivocation on 'universe' noted.

 
Quote
And if the "IA" existed before the universe and always existed, [b]where did the "IA" exist? [/B]
ME: Intelligence predicts so that any X could exist, X must have an asymmetrical phenomenon for origin.

Asserted, never supported or demonstrated.
At best you are assuming your conclusion.
You are also contradicting the claims you made to me that intelligence is, or can be, a natural phenomenon.
 
Quote
non-existence:existence

is a typical asymmetrical phenomenon.

No, it is meaningless.  Non-existence does not exist.  Existence is all that there is.  There is no non-existence.
You lack the conceptual apparatus to deal with this issue.
"Why is there something rather than nothing" is a pseudo-problem.  It is trivially dismiss-able.
 
Quote
But if we translate that to "physical" reality, it will look like this

non-physical:physical

Thus, since the universe is physical,

Word games.  Strictly speaking, you are cheating by assuming that existence is physical.  But we know of many "things" which are not physical.  In the usual senses of the terms, anyway.  The number 2 is not physical.  Pi is not physical.  The Law of Identity is not physical.
You are playing word games.
This becomes clear when we insist you must have operational definitions for your terms.
You don't, because you are playing word games, not reasoning with and from meanings.
 
Quote
the IA, aka God, must had come from non-physical since that IA cannot design a physical universe without a non-physical reality...

Prove it.  Staring with operational definitions.  Note, in particular, that 'create' has very specific meaning, always involving pre-existing material being acted on (causally) by a pre-existing agent.  You have no clear concept of cause, nor 'material' nor, well, anything at all.
You are playing meaningless (literally) word-games.

 
Quote
Thus, that IA exists in the non-physical universe, that is how intelligence predicts it.

Which conclusion is based on a simple logical error.
Can you see it?
It happened in your word play.
You fail for your conclusion doesn't follow.

Quote
Where is that place and what do you think it's like there? ME: Non-physical universe  or...Heaven?? or Spiritual Realm?? I don't know the term...but it must be non-physical

You need to provide operational definitions for physical and non-physical before you can use the terms.
You need to clean up your terminology and then your logic.
You also need to clarify your concepts -- 'create' is a causal act.  By definition, 'nature' is the network of cause and effect.  Therefore, causes, as such, must exist.  The only existence is existence, and is natural.
It "contains" everything that exists, including a host of "non-physical" "things".
You lack the conceptual apparatus, and the requisite humility, to deal with this set of issues.

You are about to take a leap into scientism and psychologism.  I'd advise you to think very carefully before doing so.
Begin with operational definitions and actual concrete specific examples.
And never assume your conclusion, least of all as one or more steps in your argument attempting to support your conclusion.

You might start by taking a few courses in critical thinking.  And pay attention.

Yet you have no operational definitions for 'origin', 'cause', or 'effect'.  You use those words on an ad hoc basis, inconsistently and prejudicially.
Is a cause prior to, simultaneous with, or posterior to (that is, after) its effect?  Does a cause precede, coincide, or follow its effect?
Is cause material?
Is effect material?

Nope.  Because you use words idiosyncratically, prejudicially, with an eye to your predetermined, preselected, desired result.
Note that much more exists than events.
You are operating (badly) from a poorly conceived naive ontology.  You need to clarify your thinking.
What is an event?  Is it a process?  Is it a material thing?  Is it an immaterial thing?
You don't know, because you lack operational definitions and thus lack understanding.
As we've been telling you all along.

Quote
But if you made an experiment to show the material strength of an item or variable, then, that is engineering! We did it many times in engineering!

Did you get me?

And you add  yet another term into the discussion.
It is generally considered an engineering problem to determine how best to pack eggs so they don't break when dropped.  Specific parameters establish the range of drop which is to be survived.
Yet you just argued that this is instinct.

You pick and choose which terms to use based on whatever will best suit your predetermined answers.
You are not arguing in good faith.

We get you, which is why we reject your nonsense as the  fatuous pompous preening insanity it is.
Word salad with no nutritive value.

You have no explanations, only word play.  You have no predictions, only assertions.  You have no principles, no definitions, and, ultimately, no understanding.  No ability to justify your categorizations nor your ideas.
No willingness to defend your ideas other than by shouting "SHUT UP!" when you encounter rejection of your nonsense.
Which is not how science works.

As we keep telling you, this is not how science is done.

Science uses peer review.  Of course you don't like that, you would fail any peer review by scientists.

Science does not require books to be published.  Least of all self-published by know-nothing little frauds pretending to be scientists.

But you would rather fight what should be an intellectual battle on the field of marketing.  The tragedy there is you're not even successful at marketing your bullshit.  You're failing as badly without peer review and with self-published books as you would if you were actually working in science as a scientist.

You run this same "experiment" and you concluded that because you were "intellen" and you found a solution with more that one paper tissue, then multiple solutions implied "intellen"

Can you take down your books now please? Thank you

Good!


But that experiment had violated the rules of nature, the very nature that we've been talking to: eat and hungry.

Hungry is problem, eat is solution ...symmetry

egg is problem...rag is solution...symmetry...thus, you made just an instinct and not intelligence...

Thus, I will never delete all my science books!

Still no retraction?

I DEMAND that you publish a retraction, withdraw all your books from Amazon and apologize to everyone you've been pestering over the internet.

I was NOT testing material strength, I was testing your theory with your own experiment. You claimed that problems with a single solution should never be intelen and my experiment showed how an intelligently designed experiment was solved with a single solution.

Your theory is therefore falsified and you have the experiment you've been demanding to disprove it.

In your own example for the experiment to test gravity, if my pen  soared upwards here, gravity would be disproved, you wouldn't get to ask me to use your pen.

So be a man and retract your work, apologize, and go on with your life

I must be getting old -- I just realized that Postrado's distinction between 'intellen' and 'naturen' is based on an argument from ignorance.
It specifically requires that we not only know of one solution to a problem, but that we know that there can only ever be one solution.  That multiple solutions are not merely not known but are inherently impossible.

So whether a person can properly distinguish 'intellen' from 'naturen' depends on how much they know -- not on the characteristics of the items under consideration.

That's really all it takes to demolish the foundation of Edgar's claims.
Not that he'll acknowledge it or realize it, of course.  Nor do the honorable thing as per dazz's request.

I must be getting old -- I just realized that Postrado's distinction between 'intellen' and 'naturen' is based on an argument from ignorance.
It specifically requires that we not only know of one solution to a problem, but that we know that there can only ever be one solution.  That multiple solutions are not merely not known but are inherently impossible.

So whether a person can properly distinguish 'intellen' from 'naturen' depends on how much they know -- not on the characteristics of the items under consideration.

That's really all it takes to demolish the foundation of Edgar's claims.
Not that he'll acknowledge it or realize it, of course.  Nor do the honorable thing as per dazz's request.

You cannot categorize something or two different things if you don't know them well.

Thus, we need to study and we need schools.

If nature divides into intelligent and unintelligent phenomena, then we already have suitable descriptive terms.  'Naturen' and 'intellen' are junk notions serving no purpose other than to make you feel important.

But worse, you have no operational meanings, no principles (in the proper sense of the term) that can be applied to unambiguously divide the world into intelligent and non-intelligent phenomena.
IOW, you lack the ability to specify, precisely, unambiguously, repeatedly, the necessary and sufficient conditions for classifying any given phenomenon as intelligent or non-intelligent.
We do it all the time, but the principles to uniquely, unambiguously, and repeatedly perform such determinations, by anyone, with justification, is lacking.
You have not helped matters.
Your approach has made things worse.
You don't even know what the problem set contains.  You do not know the prior work.  You do not know logic or science.

So, again, you lose.  You are wrong on all your points.

LOL!!!

You really don't know the real intelligence and you don't have any replacement for it!

Have you forgotten that I said that every thing that I do for intelligence are for origin and cause and effect? I told here in OP that I will give another version of explanations that are too different from my books?

Yet you have no operational definitions for 'origin', 'cause', or 'effect'.  You use those words on an ad hoc basis, inconsistently and prejudicially.
Is a cause prior to, simultaneous with, or posterior to (that is, after) its effect?  Does a cause precede, coincide, or follow its effect?
Is cause material?
Is effect material?

Note that much more exists than events.
You are operating (badly) from a poorly conceived naive ontology.  You need to clarify your thinking.

You don't know, because you lack operational definitions and thus lack understanding.

It is generally considered an engineering problem to determine how best to pack eggs so they don't break when dropped.  Specific parameters establish the range of drop which is to be survived.
Yet you just argued that this is instinct.

You pick and choose which terms to use based on whatever will best suit your predetermined answers.
You are not arguing in good faith.

We get you, which is why we reject your nonsense as the  fatuous pompous preening insanity it is.
Word salad with no nutritive value.

You have no explanations, only word play.  You have no predictions, only assertions.  You have no principles, no definitions, and, ultimately, no understanding.  No ability to justify your categorizations nor your ideas.
No willingness to defend your ideas other than by shouting "SHUT UP!" when you encounter rejection of your nonsense.
Which is not how science works.

I've already said that you need to make an experiment for categorizing processes and not the strength of materials.

Still no retraction?

I DEMAND that you publish a retraction, withdraw all your books from Amazon and apologize to everyone you've been pestering over the internet.

I was NOT testing material strength, I was testing your theory with your own experiment. You claimed that problems with a single solution should never be intelen and my experiment showed how an intelligently designed experiment was solved with a single solution.

Your theory is therefore falsified and you have the experiment you've been demanding to disprove it.

In your own example for the experiment to test gravity, if my pen  soared upwards here, gravity would be disproved, you wouldn't get to ask me to use your pen.

So be a man and retract your work, apologize, and go on with your life

I said the same thing again.

Insufficient.
Also, not really responsive.  We can never know that we have missed a possible solution to a problem.
Thus, we can never know whether a given problem is met by the "adequate" number of solutions to count as 'intellen'.

And it's especially problematic for Edgar, who has big gaping holes in his knowledge.  When we point out, for example, that he doesn't know jack about animal behavior, he has to insist that behavior follows the rules of his ignorance to maintain his notions.

It's obvious that you have replaced your intelligence with something else entirely.
Something that doesn't really appear to be intelligent.

Again and again we have to remind you that error can be recognized without having the 'right' answer as a pre-requisite.
No, not all error.
But your errors are so simple, so easy to find and point out, that you really have no grounds to insist that you're correct and to be taken as correct until a 'better answer' is given.
That is a sign of the crackpot.
A sign you share with Gaulin, and virtually ever other loon pretending to do science.

You do not know the necessary and sufficient conditions for intelligence.
You do not have an operational definition for intelligence, nor for any of the terms you use in "deriving" [snicker] your not-really-a-definition-at-all definition.

Yes or no?

In case it's not clear, I mean like dropping a pen to test gravity. I should be able to reproduce and if the pen doesn't fall, the theory is wrong

I have given you an empirical evidence that you yourself can confirm and test.
 I haven't seen anything that you present that meets the definition of empirical evidence.  Possibly I've missed something, but I suspect that the problem is that you don't know the meaning of "empirical data" (I know you cited a definition for empirical data three pages ago, but I don't see how that definition applies to anything that you have said).  Please specify which data you have presented that you think are empirical.

Now, if you apply that to real world in Biology, for example, you can see that bonobo, orangutan, chimps, and the likes don't use "intelligence" but instinct only. When they faced one problem, they have only one solution - thus, it is always symmetrical phenomenon.
Except, that's not true.

Researchers have reported witnessing bonobos modifying branches to create spears and using antlers and rocks as daggers, scrapers, shovels and hammers. ........'The bonobos used modified branches and unmodified antlers or stones to dig under rocks and in the ground or to break bones to retrieve the food.

‘Antlers, short sticks, long sticks, and rocks were effectively used as mattocks, daggers, levers, and shovels, respectively.

‘One bonobo successively struck a long bone with an angular hammer stone, completely bisecting it longitudinally.

‘Another bonobo modified long branches into spears and used them as attack weapons and barriers.

‘The bonobos' foraging techniques resembled some of those attributed to Oldowan hominins, implying that they can serve as referential models.’

Although bonobos in the wild are not known for tool use, in captivity they have shown remarkable capabilities with stone tools. For instance, in the 1990s, researchers taught the male bonobo Kanzi and the female Pan-Banisha how to knap flint -- that is, strike the rocks together to create tools -- and use the resulting stone flakes to cut rope to open a box and to cut leather to open a drum for food.  Now scientists reveal that in the intervening years, by practicing on their own, Kanzi and Pan-Banisha have developed a broader stone tool kit for more complex tasks, making them at least a match with chimpanzees in tool use.  The researchers challenged Kanzi and Pan-Banisha to break wooden logs and to dig underground, tests similar to tasks the apes might have to carry out to get food in the wild. To break the logs -- an act similar at cracking open bones to get at marrow -- the scientists not only saw these apes use rocks as hammers or projectiles to smash their targets, but also observed them either rotating stone flakes to serve as drills or use the flakes as scrapers, axes or wedges to attack slits, the weakest areas of the log. To root into hard soil, these bonobos used both unmodified rocks and a variety of handmade stone tools as shovels.  The stone tools Kanzi and Pan-Banisha created match the main categories of the first known stone tools from the ancestors of humans. Dating back roughly 2.6 million years to Ethiopia, these tools are known as the Oldowan, and include heavy-duty and light-duty items such as choppers and blades, as well as scraper-like and drill-like artifacts. Intriguingly, the marks created on the logs by the stone tools of these bonobos are very similar to those left on fossilized bones by the artifacts of early Homo.


http://www.emory.edu/LIVING_....010.pdf

Quite some time ago, a female bonobo was observed exchanging sex for a banana, demonstrating "the world's oldest profession" as yet another solution to the problem of how to get food.

These examples indicate that human intelligence is a natural extension of intelligence documented in our closest relatives among the other primates.
