#1. Linear models suck.

Gorillas => Chimps => Humans => Morons

#2. Once you prove that something CAN and WILL
happen you need to propose a mechanism to stop it
from happening again or it will keep on happening
over & over.

Bipedalism... domesticating dogs.. reaching the
Americas... etc.

#3. The better part of being smart isn't knowing
more than anyone else, it's not forgetting what you
know (unlike everyone else).

I made a whole bunch of people look like absolute
jackasses after I argued interbreeding (between
Neanderthals/etc) FOR YEARS, and was proven right.
But the thing is that I wasn't smarter than anyone else,
and I certainly didn't have knowledge that all those
others lacked. I simply refused to throw aside what I
knew from _Here_ and instead applied it to _There_.

Unlike everyone else.

I took the basic assumptions from one study and
applied them to the next. Done. It was easier, it took
LESS brain work -- consistency is a time saver -- and
yet almost nobody is willing to do that.

#4. When you always agree with the status quo, you
are not thinking. And you are literally not thinking. For
real. You're not even agreeing. You're obeying.

There's an old saying that goes; "When two men
always agree one of them is unnecessary."

We're not talking about "1 + 1 = 2" here. Even things
you've been trained to believe are concrete, like DNA
"Evidence," has ENORMOUS room for interpretation
and debate.

#5. Peer Review is a mistake. Work is supposed to
be scrutinized AFTER it's published. The debate BEGINS
with publication. And yet legions of idiots believe that
if nonsense has been published "In a peer reviewed
journal" that makes it sound science.

Truth is there is example, after example, after example
after example of absolute rubbish making it past peer
review. But such examples are easy to find, IF YOU LOOK.
What is difficult to find is good science, SOUND scientific
work that was STOPPED from being published by Peer
Review. It's out there, it happens every day but you don't
see it... IT NEVER GOT PUBLISHED so you can't see it. And
the drones have been trained so well that they wouldn't
give it a second thought if they did see it, "Because it
wasn't published in a peer review journal."
