• Aquatic Ape: Our goals, what we hope for

    From JTEM is my hero@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 29 15:59:34 2023
    Ultimately, the goal would be that people would
    start noticing things, think they make sense and
    then run off, do a study, write a paper...

    Yeah, steal them.

    In science you can't have originality. It's impossible.

    You can be FIRST in science but you can never be
    original. The facts are the facts, and they were the
    facts even before you became the FIRST to uncover
    them. And, once uncovered, in science, you need to
    stick to them.

    In science, you can't say "Well someone already
    determined the boiling point of water under these
    conditions, so I have to determine a new one."

    Consistency. Repeatability.

    Ideally, someone who always realized that Out of
    Africa purity was nonsense, that the savanna or the
    forest couldn't have spawned bipedalism, reads
    some of our discussions, grabs what makes sense
    to them and starts testing.

    Well, "Testing" could mean logically. It could mean
    finding physical evidence, or it could mean
    repositioning/interpreting the existing physical evidence.

    It could mean anything.

    And all of this is going to happen.

    Right now science is gone. We went from pranksters
    punking "Peer Review" with A.I. generated nonsense
    to the A.I. now becoming the "Peer Review!" And
    everyone appears to want it this way.

    Unfortunately, Human Origins has no military application.
    And apart from some tourism, there's no economic value
    in it either. So, if the self imposed elite want it to be shit,
    so what? It's shit.

    And you have to go along with it.

    And lots of people who what they're doing. They don't
    believe the things they're writing. They see all the a-priori
    assumptions, the selection bias... they know it's wrong.

    And now they know what's right.
