Loving what user arfa brane argues at sciforums

If the solution to the problem of "intelligence" is Posretardo's new ID universal principle, then there's only one solution.

It means that Posretardo's theory can't be "intellen", LMFAO

Edgar is impressively busy on multiple fronts:
http://www.sciforums.com/threads.....152790

Edgar, if you can just crank out a few more books (so to speak), you'll have us completely overwhelmed!

One of my favorite quotes from Edgar on that forum:  
Quote
That is math since it uses an additional sign.

Now that is funny!
Right up there with "it's science because it's in [self-published and never purchased by anyone] books!"

ROTFLMAO, It doesn't get much dumber than that.

For fuck sake, this guy is supposed to be a civil engineer... in Japan... with all the earthquakes and stuff, I honestly hope he's not using his "math" in anything a human being might get close to

Wanna play again? OK, I have a new "X" in mind.
How do I know if it's intellen or naturen without asking you to apply your own "method"?

Along those lines, I asked to explain the classification process for twelve examples.

I got 11 answers but precious little information on how these answers were reached. And there were contradictions. So I concluded that "intellen" doesn't correspond to any objective classification and is therefore not science.

Logic? Not all logic are realistic and part of reality or science.

All dogs have four legs.
Tables have four legs,
Therefore, dogs are tables.

As you can see, you are always in error.

yes, rpenner. He doesn't understand the arguments presented to him, doesn't have a clue what science is all about, doesn't know what math is or how it works, and is incapable of seeing the many contradictions he incurs. What do you expect from a guy capable of a gem like the above?

Very true, but I think it is also the case that he expends zero effort attempting to understand the arguments presented to him.
He is arguing in bad faith.
He already "knows" he's right, so any argument must be wrong, a priori.  Why bother to try to understand other people's errors when you already have THE TRUTH.

But of course, as all of us except Edgar and Gary (and a host of others, including the entire ID camp) know, that's not how science works.

What 'replaced' the idea of phlogiston?  What replaced the idea of 'luminiferous ether'?  Sometimes science works by rejecting a wrong answer long before it has a right answer.

Were those rejected before their replacements (chemistry, relativity) were available?

If you want more solutions, ask a chemist - they're apt to have a variety of solutions on hand.

To the best of my understanding, yes.
Not that there was no chemistry at all before phlogiston was rejected, but IIRC, phlogiston was rejected before oxidation was understood as a chemical process.
The luminiferous ether died long before relativity theory, again, as best I know.  A quick check on wiki brings this interesting article. Luminiferous Aether

But regardless, the point remains that it is not necessary to replace a bad answer with a better answer.  Progress towards a better answer requires rejecting wrong or bad answers that have no utility and continuing the search.  Edgar and Gary and other crackpots insist that their nonsense must be accepted until "something better" replaces it.  
All that is necessary is to show that the proposed solution either fails or "solves" a non-problem.  I'd suggest "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" as a non-problem.  A better example might be "Why is there something rather than nothing", one of the great pseudo-problems of all time.

Hey Edgar,

tool use and planning ahead

Note that I too have used addition signs in my argument, so I've answered your math with more math, + I used more kinds of math signs than you, so my math is clearly superior.  :)

Phlogistons had become problematic (because some metals like magnesium gained weight on burning, but burning was supposed to be a process of losing phlogistons, leading someone to suggest phlogistons with negative weight).  However, the phlogiston theory remained dominant (basically the principal game in town) until Lavoisier showed that burning required the presence of a gas that he named as oxygen, and combination with it.  Priestly had previously worked with oxygen but had considered it to be dephlogisticated air.

Nonetheless, your larger point holds, that ideas do not have to be replaced by something better to be proven wrong.  "We don't know" is a completely legitimate conclusion, despite being highly unsatisfactory.

I understand/understood all of your arguments and some have no arguments. The reason why I cannot accept them because you are not real scientists! You had never discovered anything that is useful in science or for humanity.

In short, you are intellectually and scientifically inferior to me. We have a different label and level. I am in a higher position and yours are not..

For if you are superior to me to intellectually and scientifically, you should have written science books and published them!

Thus, oh please, you have no back-up to your claims that you are correct! Thus, why should i listen to you?

But you have no science books! Write science books to smash my new discoveries and give us your alternative replacement for the real intelligence and see if you have science or not!

Send them too to science journals and see!

If not, then, you are wasting your life in here!

By all standard considerations, yes, Octopodes are intelligent.

On what basis do you assert that they are not?
Your incredulity is insufficient to convince others.

Answer yes or no.

Do you understand that scientific theories must make predictions, and that those predictions must be tested, and if they don't past the test the theory is falsified?

Does your theory predict that your theory is intellen?
or naturen?

How do you know?
Why should it matter?
Science is not a religion, it has no 'high priests' who must be taken at their word on nothing more than their say-so.
You are not a scientist, by any stretch of the imagination.
That you have written and  self-published books claiming to be about science and asserting that you are a scientist is insufficient.
That's not how science works.
 
Quote
You had never discovered anything that is useful in science or for humanity.

Irrelevant.  And how do you know?  You simply assert this as if you had evidence.  You don't.  There's a reason I post here as 'NoName'.  I want attention on the points, not on who makes them.
But your objection is doubly true for you.  You have contributed nothing to humanity or to science or human knowledge.
Ad hominem is not a valid form of argument.
 
Quote
In short, you are intellectually and scientifically inferior to me. We have a different label and level. I am in a higher position and yours are not..

Prove it.
You have not earned the 'label' of 'scientist'.  You know nothing about me.
Regardless of our respective qualifications, our arguments, our evidence, our reasons and our logic are to be judged on their own merit.
That you seem to believe otherwise demonstrates rather conclusively that you are not only not a scientist of any stripe, but that you know nothing at all about the process of doing science.
Your position on this matter is contemptible.

 
Quote
For if you are superior to me to intellectually and scientifically, you should have written science books and published them!

Ignorant fool, that's simply not how science works.
Lots of scientists do not publish books.
Tough.  Publish or don't publish, that's irrelevant to whether one is doing science or not.
 
Quote
Thus, oh please, you have no back-up to your claims that you are correct! Thus, why should i listen to you?

You should listen to me because I might be saying things that are valid and relevant to your output.
That's a possibility no matter who is speaking to you.
You don't get to self-anoint as "one of the chosen" and talk down to others who can clearly think better, more consistently, and more logically than you.
You should listen to me, and to all of us here, because we are pointing out flaws in your work.  That is always at least a possibility whenever anyone makes comments to you.
Our words are to be judged on their own meanings, not on who said them.

That you think otherwise is contemptible.

Um, no, in this discussion that would be you, not repenner or dazz or N.Wells or any of the rest of us who bother with you.

You've been repeatedly corrected on this.
Self-publication is not a sign of "doing science" or "understanding science".
Content might do that, but your content is execrable.  Literally.
You are, by your actions and your claims, a raving lunatic.

Just by the way, you assert that he has "no clue on what he is saying".  Yet he is reporting on his own evaluation on what he has gotten from you.  How can a person be mistaken about or have no clue about what their own evaluations of material happens to be?  How do you know better than he?
You are a pompous ignorant jumped-up little twit with no clue but a boatload of attitude piled on top of far too much stupidity and ignorance.
Your words here speak for themselves.

...
Intelligence is the principle of reinforcing an X to survive, to exist and to succeed in a certain degree of importance, and it always acts on asymmetrical phenomenon.
..

This is your "definition" of 'intelligence'.
It fails on the merits (so to speak).

You begin by saying intelligence is a principle.
This is ludicrous and completely insane.
When we say that X is intelligent, are we saying X is a principle?
No, of course not.

It gets worse from there.  As already quite well covered in this thread up to this point.

You have not identified the necessary and sufficient conditions for intelligence.
Your definition is meaningless word-salad, unsupported by any evidence.
Your examples are poorly thought-out, vague, over-generalized, and lack applicability to countless phenomena that are generally considered to be acts of intelligence.
The are similarly useless for defining or determining the nature of the entity responsible for such phenomena.
This has been demonstrated quite well so far on this thread.

You are a nutcase, raving meaninglessly on the net, and getting arrogant about it.
You have nothing of any value to anyone but yourself.  Rather like the feces smeared walls of the cell in an asylum in which a madman is kept.  He likes it, everyone else can see that it is shit.
Except even feces have value -- they can be composted and used to fertilize soil.
Your output can't even do that.  At best, the most you can accomplish is to inconvenience a relatively few electrons as they go about their existence.

I'm tempted to assert, on the evidence, that you know nothing of intelligence because you do not posses it nor have you ever experienced it.
The very notion escapes you, but you've heard the word, see that people take it seriously, give it high regard, and so seek to claim it for yourself.
Pathetic.
And contemptible.

Absolutely, yes they show intelligent behavior.  I have documented that they exhibit memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead, all of which are standardly accepted signs of intelligence.  

In contrast, you have made unsupported assertions, on the supposed basis of some highly dubious terminology, which is in term based on some extremely problematic definitions created by you, which in turn rest on some more of your own bald unsupported assertions.  So by all the rules of science, so far you've got nothing.  

In addition, as mentioned earlier, I used more mathematical operators than you did, so by your standards my math is better.  :)

LOL! That is the problem with you guys.

You had just simply concluded that the signs or patterns of "intelligence" are to "...exhibit memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead".

Since you did not have any clue on intelligence, you had just simply said that those are patterns for intelligence.

Now, what are the patterns for natural?

"...exhibit memory will be no memory?

, learning will be no learning?

, problem-solving will be no solution?

, tool use will be no tools?

, and planning ahead will be no plan??

BUT THE ABOVE were all patterns for failures!

But for us to live or to exist, that are normal for all of us to do like eating because we are hungry!

"exhibit memory since we really have no memory

, learn since we still don't know nature

, solve problem since every second is problem to us

, use tool since we also use our hands as tools

, and to plan since we don't have really plan

THUS, they are all symmetrical phenomenon..and not intelligence!

Thus, you are not talking intelligence but natural phenomenon!

Hello Edgar,
I understand that you think you have a whole new definition of intelligence.  In my view, a) you are wrong, and b) you haven't made a case for either the old standard views being wrong or your new views being correct.

You have not made the case for distinguishing intelligent actions in humans from intelligent actions in animals.  Your concept of symmetry is garbled and arbitrary, and in fact doesn't work for the octopus, African hunting dogs, pack hunting by wolves, tool use by chimpanzees and crows, and so forth and so on: in all cases they are creating multiple solutions to problems, and you are only able to create a 1:1 correspondence by ad hoc pleading and arbitrary and unjustifiable categorization.

Memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead are clearly intelligent actions: this is not a matter of "not having a clue about intelligence", but they are used as diagnostic criteria for intelligent behavior by everyone (except you) that has thought about the matter.  Intelligent behavior in animals is different in quantity but not in kind from similar intelligent behavior in humans: if you deny it in them, then you deny it in us as well.

Now, what are the patterns for natural?
"...exhibit memory will be no memory?
, learning will be no learning?
, problem-solving will be no solution?
, tool use will be no tools?
, and planning ahead will be no plan??
BUT THE ABOVE were all patterns for failures!

Your point is unclear there.  I'm not denying those in humans or animals: learning, problem-solving and so forth appear to be natural occurrences of intelligent behavior in both.
 
However, I disagree that something has to be a success to be intelligent: lots of intelligent attempts at problem solving fail.  Did Einstein stop being an intelligent physicist in his later decades because he never came up with a Grand Unified Theory for physics?

, learn since we still don't know nature

, use tool since we also use our hands as tools
, and to plan since we don't have really plan
THUS, they are all symmetrical phenomenon..and not intelligence!
Thus, you are not talking intelligence but natural phenomenon!

Again, your point is unclear.
However, I will point out again that if you go to a restaurant to eat you are creating multiple solutions to the problem of being hungry, quite apart from having multiple intelligent communications with waitstaff, intelligently resolving navigation and travel problems in getting to the restaurant, non-instinctively opening the door to the restaurant, and so forth.

Also, you have yet to demonstrate that intelligence is not a natural phenomenon.

Absolutely, yes they show intelligent behavior.  I have documented that they exhibit memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead, all of which are standardly accepted signs of intelligence.  

In contrast, you have made unsupported assertions, on the supposed basis of some highly dubious terminology, which is in term based on some extremely problematic definitions created by you, which in turn rest on some more of your own bald unsupported assertions.  So by all the rules of science, so far you've got nothing.  

In addition, as mentioned earlier, I used more mathematical operators than you did, so by your standards my math is better.  :)

LOL! That is the problem with you guys.

You had just simply concluded that the signs or patterns of "intelligence" are to "...exhibit memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead".

Since you did not have any clue on intelligence, you had just simply said that those are patterns for intelligence.

You have no idea of your own intelligence! And you have no idea or diving line between natural phenomenon!

As I said that if you use simple math, you can simply know the real intelliogence.

Your usage of intelligence and the patterns of intelligence from you are not intelligence. They are best called as instinct or slightly excessive natural phenomena.

The reason why I am giving you the eat-hungry analogy since that is the most, closed, easiest empirical evidence that we know to the real world and reality.

Hungry? is problem...Eat? is solution...that is symmetrical...that is natural phenomenon or naturen

Now, since we had already established that symmetry is natural phenomenon,then, asymmetry is intelligence or intellen. But if we use limit or range, we can compute calculate the range of instinct and intellen phenomenon.

Thus to say and claim that "...exhibit memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead,..", is not intelligence or not even patterns/signs of intelligence since they (...exhibit memory, learning, problem-solving, tool use, and planning ahead), are necessary for any human to have memory, to learn, to solve problem, to use tool and to plan FOR THOSE HUMANS TO LIVE - a naturen!

Remember that this kind of analytical science was not being taught in science schools that is why ToE had made 80 definitions of intelligence and yet dismissed intelligence in all explanations in science.

Did you get me? Do you understand?

CORRECTED REPLY:

You have no idea of your own intelligence! And you have no idea or have no dividing line between natural phenomenon to intelligent phenomenon!

Because he learned the parsimony principle of sticking with basic solutions

Now, since we had already established that symmetry is natural phenomenon,then, asymmetry is intelligence or intellen.

One of your many problems is that you are logically illiterate. It's pathetic to be honest.

You have not established that "symmetry is natural phenomenon", because you don't have any kind of substantiation for claims like this, no clear definitions, no supporting evidence, no nothing. And no, silly examples don't count as evidence.

We've told you time and again that your argument is circular, which is the case for any "universal, self consistent" principle (see Gödel's incompleteness theorems). Any such principles are self refuting.

Anyone claiming to have discovered a scientific or mathematical universal and self consistent, self explaining principle, can be automatically labeled as an ignorant dumbfuck, so that's what you are.

But it gets even worse. You fail in the most basic logic right there:

That is a big fat non-sequitur. Even if you had found some relation between symmetry and "naturen", that doesn't tell you squat about asymmetry or it's relations.

For example, if one figures out that

"All cakes are sweet"

That doesn't tell you anything about any other thing that is not a cake, it doesn't imply that jelly beans are not sweet for instance...

Even if there's a true dichotomy:

"all positive prime numbers are odd numbers"

of course doesn't mean that

"all negative prime numbers are even"

Why don't you google a logic course or take some time to learn about science and math, then come back and tell us about your "universal" principles?

No evidence from me?? You mean that you had never been hungry and eat?? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Oh my goodness, is that your best shot??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

That is an empirical evidence..do you know empirical evidence???

Or shall I teach you about it??

dazz, you are really retarden!!!
