  1. Catasstrophy
  2. Whaahahaaa. Go read the paper. Grok thinks I'm right!😋
  3. It's time to come clean. As you guys know I recently had an insight that changed my mind! LOL! That doesn't happen often. But It was no ordinary insight! It was the final missing piece of a natural Philosophy (AKA Physics) problem. The character of the problem is prospectively near the terminus the system I had in mind. Familiarity with the epistemic arc indicated that I was near the end for a while! But I was beginning to think the solution was an infinite regress. In my book that starting out worse than you began. To cut a long story short the insight showed up on Canadian Thanks Giving in a social setting. Something happened that convinced me that my broader thesis was for want of a better term, correct. The story is hilarious but respecting privacy I cant tell it. Anyway I'm no longer in a doxastic state with low credence. I can only describe myself now as a true believer with a healthy dose of scientific skepticism but when I say true believer I mean if there is another planet out there (and statistically speaking there just plane is (superabundants) where a precise mirror of the niche we occupy on earth exist then the species that occupies that niche is human. the more exact the niche match the closer the human resemblance. Convergence explicitly states nature comes up with the same best solution every time. Even in unrelated species Two identical niches two identical species. Even if they are separated by hundreds or thousand of light years. Remarkably this isn't that far from my, 'there are no aliens stance' since I always say you cannot beat credible eye witness testimony and there is, in fairness, plenty of that. But I always that us from the not to distant future is fare more likely than us from a 100 million light years away. Anyway I've been grappling with a head scratcher in Kant since I graduated 25 years ago and I though I already had the same problem since I was 12. Studying philosophy just proved to me that the problem was real. And writing my Grad thesis on the problem proved it was real because I got a 1st. It turns out Academia doesn't like the problem and wishes it would go away because they think its intractable. Writing about it just gets you in trouble. Even if you solve it. I know because I just had the paper I wrote about it rejected by PhilSci-Archive and got ignored arXiv despite Grok telling me it is an original and coherent critique. Grok got it and perhaps some of you know that I am referring to the postulated "thing in itself". What could that have to do with aliens you ask. Rather a lot as it turns out. Kant is at the end of the historical arc of western philosophy. Everything after his CPR is Flailing. Likewise GR is the end of the large scale universe epistemological arc. Sure they spent a few decades just filling the empirical gaps and ironing out the wrinkles but they are definitely flailing now with recent anomalous discoveries. Pissing their pants actually, truth be know! QM stands alone as the most complete least anomalies theory ever. I say it's just complete. There is nothing more to it so they are kinda flailing with TEO's right now and have done for at least 70 years with no success. Everything is flailing except Evo/Devo. THat's flourishing for now. but not that much growing room. The Evo/Devo stuff wasn't really that interesting to me until recently but I have a pretty sharp grip of GR and QM for a layman. Kant underpins them all and that stuff I know well. Somehow I always thought there was a missing link between Kants Critique of Pure Reason and the Natural philosophy (todays Physics). The experience I had on thanks giving last year revealed that missing link to me rite large. Painfully obvious and then the implications! Earth shattering! Its a big claim but it reconciles General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. I know you are all thinking. Martin was right! That guy belongs in straitjacket. But its out in the wild on X so the rubber meets the road so to speak. if you are interested, and It is free! If its nothing its a least 10 page tour de force of Kants Transcendental Unity of Apperception. If I'm right you can say you had the pleasure of knowing the 21st centuries Albert Einstein and tell everyone the guy was a schmuck.🤣 Here's the link to the X post
  4. It's a question of Niche. If the niche is the same the species is the same. It's like hand in glove. That's why there are no inter species, spices. No viable niche. no viable species. nature Abhors a vacuum and fine tuning orders niche's. There are Cats and dogs out there but no catdogs. The system is rigged.
  5. Part of the reason I changed my mind is EVO/DEVO and convergence evolution. There is ontological trouble in there for blind natural selection that smells exactly like the ontological trouble I've always been suspicious of. The truth is out there! LOL!
  6. There going to be sorely disappointed. I'm not human so we've got the upper hand!
  7. my opinion has shifted. I've had an epistemic brake through that give me solid if not irrefutably ontological repositioning akin to falling down a whole that the universe is teaming with ET. We may have already seen them but we might not even know. I may have even seen one myself. My wife might be one of them! (that makes sense) There biology will be as EVO/DEVO predicts without variance. It's a fact. done like dinner! i've paradigm shifted and I haven't had to throw the baby out with the bath water either! LOL! you win Martin. I take it all back. Are you one of them?
  8. Yeah, those words cut right to the soul. I always get a shiver when I hear that line. One of the greatest songs off all time.
  9. I'm in a doxastic state with low credence.🥸

    It look great but the system are just ripped off from the Asobo 787 and it way over priced guaranteed.
  11. One might think it's because I'd adhere to the Rare Earth hypothesis which doesn't rule out simple life elsewhere just complex or intelligent life (not rule out, just make extremely statistically unlikely). But that's not why. It runs contrary to the roll of necessity in my metaphysical world view but I'm not married to it. However the complete absence of any empirical evidence that there is life anywhere other than earth is enough for me to stick with my robust world view. However that is not to say that I don't believe the eye witness testimony of credible individuals notwithstanding the possibility that they could be lying for whatever reason. However the benefit of the doubt is also mandatory here. So if indeed the instances of advanced technology far beyond known human capabilities are real, I am far more likely to believe they are our so called decedents breaching the vale between their conventional chronological time and ours much like we might recognize a ghost if we ever saw one as our so called ancestors.
  12. I don't believe that there is life anywhere else in the universe except on earth! 🤣
  13. Milviz Classic 737 was also awesome but I'm not reinstalling FSX so I can fly it though!🤣
  14. the graph strongly indicates that the A320 is the superior aircraft. neck and neck despite the 21 year head start for the 737. However the 737 does have a lot more character IMO!🤔
  15. God ignores prayers like that anyway!🤣
  16. Unattractive Progressive is tautological
  17. Next year. They did the banking manoeuvre required to align with the tower before splash down yesterday.
  18. None of it matters I'll be dead soon!🤣
  19. Well with Coollaboratory Liquid Pro I'm looking at ~80C max on all cores locked to 5.2ghz for a full 1 hour CPU:OCCT run with Large Data set. That's with a H115i pro direct to die. I don't think that would be possible with a Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet thermal pad. Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet thermal pad: ~8–12 W/m·K Coollaboratory Liquid Pro: ~32–80 W/m·K Liquid Pro at its worst is way better than Kryosheet thermal pad at its best.
  20. Got a scare with a BSOD the other day on my 5 year old system. See sig. Tried a few time restarting but as soon as there was any load BSOD. Looking at HWMonitor I could see that one core in particular was spiking to 93C I though that was the end of my system CPU! I uploaded the Crash dump file to Grok and it suggested it was almost certainly TIM degradation. Sure enough I redid the TIM and problem solved. Grok tell me you need to change that stuff every 2 to 3 years I use Coollaboraties Liquid Pro. I had CPU Max Temp set to 93 in my Bios so at least I got a warning! I though CPU TIM was once and done for the life of the system. NO SO! Check your TIM !🧐
  21. 🤣 That is a wonderful example of euphemism It sound great but it's actually 💩 🤣
  22. The US government must be up to something big since they are rolling out the big Slight of hand distractions.
  23. Ah that's nothing! Back in 2006 Steve Fossett got to FL490 in a DG505 which has no viable means of propulsion at all!🤣

    Censorship is disgusting. If your remarks are utterly offensive and disgusting to me I'll still stand up for your right to have your views heard anyway and stand apposed to anyone who puts themselves in the way of me hearing what you have to say about anything. And reel against anyone who thinks they know what is better for me than I know myself and decides that they will protect me from what you have to say. Who do they think they are? I agree RIP Tom Allensworth but AVSIM is in this regard the way he wanted it to be. I say if you are triggered and you are looking for the culprit take a good look in the mirror! The snowflakes are the problem!
