Self-encoding systems

[Peskanov]

Ah, but the problem is that even a programmer can create systems which are unpredictable despite being deterministic. This means that to know the development of such system, your only way is to "run" it, .
Curiously enough, some of the best thinkers believe this is the only way to trascend our shortcomings as creators. Create some rules (time), create enough information (space), cook the soup and take a peek from time to time to see what happens.

Are there any known cases of protein folding errors finding their way into germ cells?

I found your spew as "meaningful" (implication: something new, unknown, interesting) as any recital of abc's by a 6 year old.

Ah, I see now. I had thought you were posting in English, but you were posting in hammygibble. When you said "meaningless", you didn't mean meaningless, but something completely different.

(Or you were lying, you dirty twisting liar. Excuse me, my irony slipped. It is so hard to pretend that I don't find you utterly foul.)

So, let's see what you say you were saying. Apparently, in hammygibble, the word "meaningless" is to mean something not new, unknown, or interesting.

So, for example, statements such as "2 + 2 = 4", or "species evolved" can be called "meaningless" --- so long as you're speaking hammygibble and not English.

So, let's translate hammy's gibble from hammygibble into English. What he claims is that when he said (in hammygibble) that my definition of life is "meaningless", he meant (in English) that it is not new to him.

In which case he knew perfectly well that he was lying when he posted this:

You can't even define life, let alone explain it. Feel free to pretend otherwise though; I realize your worldview couldn't survive the alternative.

What a pathetic squirming little liar he is.

Sorry, bunky; just too quick for know-it-all dunces like you. Have you ever had a rational thought of your own? At least you can read and regurgitate. Would it be easier for you if you just posted a link.

Oh, and calm down. You should allow yourself to add a few more years before bringing on the first aneurism. Hmmm. Perhaps you've already had a few?

You win this week's irony award.

Have you ever had a rational thought of your own?

Yes. How else does one get a PhD?

At least you can read and regurgitate.

That's a marvellous attempt at making learning things from books sound unpleasant. If you think that way, no wonder you spend so much time avoiding knowledge.

Would it be easier for you if you just posted a link.

No, hammy, it wouldn't. All the stupid mistakes you've made so far can be debunked from memory and I can touch type. This is what I keep complaining about --- why can't you come up with a new lie? All your lies seem to be cribbed from fundies.

Oh, and calm down. You should allow yourself to add a few more years before bringing on the first aneurism. Hmmm. Perhaps you've already had a few?

Being wrong is actually your hobby, isn't it?

Not a single word of your post actually debates any point I've made.

Doesn't that bother you?

Just a lot of screaming and shouting and temper tantrums.

And no coherent argument. Against a single word I've said.

Doesn't it bother you at all?

 

[Dr Adequate]

Hammy's current sig, as ammended for relevance: 'dogmatic idiot'... some people are so stupid that they are frequently confronted by expressions of real, intellectually worthy criticism against their ideas. This will make them into angry looneys because one of their basic ideas is ill-founded. Through the years the dogma can grow stronger (as it meets repeated opposition) and more 'obvious' and obstruct one's freedom of thought, without the person being aware of it...

Diploma mill, as a guess.

Not a single word of your post actually debates any point I've made.

Doesn't that bother you?

The only point you appear to have is on the top of your head, so no that doesn't bother me. Seems to irk you though.

Just a lot of screaming and shouting and temper tantrums.

Like large red type? Tell me about it, twit.

And no coherent argument.

We agree you certainly don't understand my points-of-view, anyway. Maybe another PhD would help?

Against a single word I've said.

Doesn't it bother you at all?

At about the same level a gnat buzzing around does. Your factoids imo are lacking in merit other than for the dullards, maybe. And that's a short list, #1.


Good derail. Congratulations. Have any thoughts of your own on self-encoding systems?
