Sometimes Joe G is just plain funny.

   
Quote
Joe G: I can just come up with reality-

That is given the theory hoiw can we apply that in the real world?

Again we have two people-

Person A has an empty set

Person B also has an empty set (everyone has an empty set) but B has put that empty set inside of another empty set.

Both A and B are in an otherwise empty room.

You enter the room with the purpose of figuring out who has the empty set and who has the set containing the empty set.

However you cannot ask any questions or say anything at all.

All you have are your powers of observation.

How do you tell which person just has the empty set?

Weigh them? And if it weighs the same as a duck?

That's not really a merganser to any of Joe's questions.

Yeah, that was quite brilliant. Even if it was part French.

I express much gratitude twice. These coordinates of spacetime are my location for at least seven rotations of this planet. Please donate a gratuity for excellent service to your specific serving person.

Joe:  I have never seen any tree that looks like that.

And there aren't any trees which grow from the top down as your example depicts.

No, he is that stupid. Guaranteed. Anyone who argues that hail is not water is stupider than a box of rocks.

There is a marvelous paper in the online section of Evolution: Education & Outreach this summer, entitled "Teaching Tree-Thinking to Undergraduate Biology Students", by Richard Meisel. it covers a lot of the common misconceptions that students have about phylogenetic trees, and gives some pedagogical strategies for teaching past those misconceptions. I don't know about access to the paper (free or fee-based), but here's a link that you can try.

It won't help Joe, however.

Now Joe's asking where the trunk and roots are.  lol.  Next he'll be complaining that there's no bark, and that no birds are nesting in it.

[SNIP]

Ahhhh the eternal dilemma. Is Joe (and his ideological ilk) a total fucking moron or is Joe just wasting our time by being a total trolling joke?

Personally, I'm going for both. What an utterly pointless human being he really is.

That's mostly right. Except for the human being part. Personally I think he is an empty set.

Ouch! Harsh!

But entirely fair and accurate.

I shall be guided by your greater wisdom and experience in this matter.

I think people like Joe need a word. Simple, short and to the point. Something that illustrates their utter uselessness. Inspired by your mathematical (and topical) choice I shall humbly suggest "Null". Either as an adjective or a noun, I feel it would work.

Here's a link to the page.  I don't see how to link to the specific post, but it's around #707 or so.  (If that's what you're requesting).

Yes, that's sort of the way it is with trees (though in this case, all of the branches are below the base of the trunk).

The thread on nested hierarchies and set theory at Joe's blog has grown to 757 comments.  This is one gigantic monument to teh stupid.  

Here is one of my favorites, where Joe is trying to tell the world that an empty set {} is no different from a set containing an empty set {{}}.
Quote
Again we have two people-

Person A has an empty set

Person B also has an empty set (everyone has an empty set) but B has put that empty set inside of another empty set.

Both A and B are in an otherwise empty room.

You enter the room with the purpose of figuring out who has the empty set and who has the set containing the empty set.

However you cannot ask any questions or say anything at all.

All you have are your powers of observation.

How do you tell which person just has the empty set?


This must be the zen of stupid.  

I also love Joe's inimitable writing style.  His paragraphs are always one sentence long.

That's especially hilarious given how he clings to that so-called "definition" on the ISSS page.
