That he can score 160+ on IQ scores. Good for him.
Natural selection and evolution are a machinistic version of design. Meaning that its simply a choice to forgo agency while design insists on agency.
In the same way humans can be given agency and treated as responsible for their actions or as products of their genes/enviornment.

I wrote a long reply but lost it due to refreshing the page by accident. I am going to type it again.

In order to convey what he's saying, let's dissect this dense paragraph. I want to also reference a new study to illuminate his idea.

Let's start with the first few sentences.

>Furthermore, because the universe is natural, its self-selection amounts to a cosmic form of natural selection. But by the nature of this selection process, it also bears description as intelligent self-design (the universe is “intelligent” because this is precisely what it must be in order to solve the problem of self-selection, the master-problem in terms of which all lesser problems are necessarily formulated).

He's basically arguing incremental adaptation is sufficient for a system to exhibit intelligent behaviour.

Recently, it has been shown that evolution can learn from experience, and thus improve its own ability to evolve over time:

"by evolving the organisation of development that controls variation, the organisation of ecological interactions that control selection or the structure of reproductive relationships that control inheritance - natural selection can change its own ability to evolve

if evolution can learn from experience, and thus improve its own ability to evolve over time, this can demystify the awesomeness of the designs that evolution produces

natural selection can accumulate knowledge that enables it to evolve smarter
that's exciting because it explains why biological design appears to be so intelligent ”

>This is unsurprising, for intelligence itself is a natural phenomenon that could never have emerged in humans and animals were it not already a latent property of the medium of emergence.

He is arguing since evolution has the sufficient requirements for intelligence, then what is produced by evolution is necessarily intelligent too. For example, cells and organs have self-correcting mechanisms that improves its efficiency from experience over time.

Consider, for example, the mechanisms for experience-dependent plasticity, such as "long-term potentiation".

OK. Now, I will give my criticisms.

I'm not too sure one can have a pure ideology put manifest into a system of government without it resulting in chaos.

Mixed economies, objectively speaking, tend to do better

>what's the beef with circumcision? It seems like it has an unwarranted amount of hate on the Internet.

NEETs don't work or contribute to society so they need something to complain about.

>>1555699
Well it doesn't really have any advantages and it reduces the amount of pleasure you can get from sex. I guess it's nice that if I meet a Jewish or Muslim qt I can LARP my way into marriage without having to know the pain of being circumcised

>Is rejection of circumcision a very recent trend?
Yes, up until recently every culture practiced circumcision dating all the way back to Homo erectus

Europeans are always autism.

because we as humans can't fathom the alternative, also because the alternative (not knowing) leads to no resolve to the void that is the human existence. it's the easy way out. the thing is you can only play mental gymnastics for so long before you're unable to fool yourself any longer

He literally didn't do anything wrong

He didn't protect his good heir from his shit heir. I know some people will defend Cao Pi, but he was really mediocre, whose mediocrity lost him the legitimacy of the Han, and he himself had an even shittier heir.

But Cao Cao personally did almost everything right except Red Cliff.

Pi killing Chong? Isn't that just villifying the Cao clan?

There's a really interesting new theory about this, just google Luwian Studies and it'll show up. Basically the idea is that the Sea People was a confederation of Western Anatolian petty states mixed with some Greek/Old European constituencies. I don't think there's been a whole lot of scholarly critique, but I think it seems fairly plausible.

From what I remember, you got the Peleset (probably Phillistines), the Meshwesh, whatever the Egyptians were calling the Nuragic people at the time, the Lukka (southwest Anatolia / more narrow and commonly accepted definition of the Luwians), the Tjeker (possibly "Trojans"), the Denyen and the Ekwesh (both possible cognates to Danoi and Achaen Greeks).

One of my favorite topics will b monitoring this thread :+)

probably the second biggest name after hitler desu f4m

What is the economic multiplier? So when I spend £ 10 on coke it counts as £ 10 worth of spending but if I give my £ 10 to the government, they spend £ 10 on coke and give it to me, that counts as £ 10 * multiplier worth of spending?

Why do so many Keynesians argue for government spending and then claim that if you take away government programme then the economy will get worse? Doesnt that assume the government programme is some huge necessity? They always use this fucking trick and no one calls them out on it.
