@Bl00d3clypse@PortoValhe I know you didn't make it because you said so at the jump. but if you did make one I could actually read, I wouldn't complain. ๐
Ok, you only got one pony and it's all tuckered out from overuse.
Yes, it's true about the breakthroughs and new worlds waiting to open up.
But standing in the way of that is a broken model and a broken methodology that refuses to investigate any other options because of an ideology they admit is arbitrary in its constraints.
It may not good for science, but it's fucking great for funding streams and control of the institutions.
And the latter is far more important than the former.
No. That's my point. They are not solid hypotheses at all. They are riddled with unsolved difficulties and haven't led anywhere of substance.
The only progress has been a lone piece here of there on an otherwise blank canvas of cluelessness.
It's not that you don't know the final answer. You don't even have the beginning of a workable answer at all.
Any talk of progress is exaggerating the case to the point of absurdity.
@evilsteveve@luisbaram Nah, I've known plenty and some really well. Y'all are fine by me.
It's the new atheist brand of bullshit that cultivated this perennial crop of militant antitheism that plagues efforts at civil discussion.
Instead, it's the 'no evidence/just no belief' two-step ad nauseum.
Yeah, one day and all that. You can't just skip over the intractable problems by waving the 'one day we may know' magic wand.
Saying progress toward an answer is slow is like saying progress toward fixing the schools is slow.
Technically true, but not indicative of the true state of the situation all the same.
You have no working pathway and no idea how to get one.
All the hand waving in the world can't conceal that fact. It's just another time of the gaps card.
@Bl00d3clypse@PortoValhe It's not a matter of attention span. It's a matter of poor presentation.
I was quite willing to read it, but the text is too damn hard to make out. Would be worth a cleaner execution.
That's the OoL narrative, sure. But the reality isn't remotely in line with the story, highly problematic notions like RNA world notwithstanding.
Your task is akin to building a pathway to the moon.
You got an impressive start with some highly contaminated amino acid slop via Miller-Uray.
Since then, things have advanced to the limited degree they have via complex designed procedures requiring a constant supply of the purest of chemical compounds in pristine conditions with no relation to abio Earth.
These procedures require the constant intervention of an intelligent agent at every step of the way in order to move past severe constraints blocking the way at each step.
And yet for all that, regardless of the overheated hype, things haven't even gotten off the ground, let alone reached the moon.
And they still have no viable pathway to do so.
@JohnAll50690792@luisbaram That we don't know is correct. That we have solid hypothesis is stretching things is not correct.
It's not that we don't have a definitive answer, but that we don't have anything approaching a working pathway to that answer.
@luisbaram Hmm. No clue what drove the naturally selected gradual tweaks that evolved you into a different species of Luis? ๐ค
Bro, are you saying Darwin was right all along?๐คฃ

@Super70sSports Look at him. You just know bro ran with scissors till the streetlights came on, never stopping except for a quick drink from some neighbor's hose.
Herbert Marcuse proposed a new bipartite revolutionary Subject in the late 1960s: the white intellectual and the black militant. Now we have something similar, which is the DSA formula: the white downwardly mobile communist and the Third-Worldist "brown" communist, both of whom organize the energy of anti-Israel politics.
