You (and many self-appointed “scientists” today), typify the biggest error of modern scientific proclamations (like global warming), which I have repeatedly reminded you:
correlation IS NOT CAUSATION
Finding two (or more) things to exist in a singular contest does not identify that one is a cause of the other. It demonstrates ONLY correlation, it does not identify a mechanism of cause and effect.
A fact, and a scientific maxim, repeatedly avoided in the politicized science environment of today.
And again, you don’t listen to what I say repeatedly in the book, which is that the correlations, (Of which there are many), are not proof, but cause for a much closer look. The modern functional neuroimaging techniques available today might just show that Liberal brain development and functionality stalls in early adolescence, and freezes them in that psychology. That fact alone, if proven, would devastate Liberalism, as they would literally be shown to be, mental retards (Sorry Sarah...). If attenuated amygdala development and function is demonstrated in both Children and Liberals, But Conservatives develop increasing Amygdala function as they mature, then you have taken a huge step towards discovering your causation, as Amygdala function relates to fear processing. And it would humiliate Liberals.
If Liberals are documented to have a high likelyhood of a deficient Amygdala, and Conservatives do not (as is established now), only a fool (or a Liberal) would not step in for a closer look, and try to figure out the mechanism involved.
As I said previously, many diseases (which you could actually classify Liberalism as) are discovered through correlations, as that is where you begin when dissecting biological systems, which I know a little about. Proposing a causation absent any knowledge of correlations would be pretty wasteful of time and effort.
On Global Warming, the problem there is not correlation being mistaken for causation. Given the Medieval Warming Period, the history of climate fluctuations over the life of the Earth, and the fact there was actually cooling over the last decade, there was not correlation. Rather, one idiot decided CO2 was a “greenhouse gas,” and produced a proposed mode of causation. Then a bunch of Anticompetitive Liberals ginned up fake numbers and hockey stick graphs to produce a conjured correlation. All to support their attempts to undermine free competition among men and their businesses, and institute a tax on success, to provide a reward for failure. The problem in AGW was not Correlation vs Causation, it was dishonesty, motivated by the psychological dysfunction in Liberals, who so fear the free competitive environment, that they will do anything to stamp it out.
Again, I do not say my theory is cased closed (notice, I even call it a theory), but given sufficient research, I think Liberalism will be established as a stress mediated activation of a genetic mechanism designed to produce an individual with a stalled, childlike brain development, who will seek to selfishly subvert the competitive schemes which advance their species’ evolution, probably due to an inferior amygdala which never develops the ability to handle or process fear.
As for going to another website, that demand of your’s is indicative of an Anticompetitive Liberal psychology in you. You show up somewhere, decree what is acceptable to you, and then tell others what to do, rather than let everyone be free to advance their own agendas, and propose theories for consideration, in free open competition. A Competitive psychology, even if they disagreed with me, would say they thought I was definitely wrong, and maybe even that I was an idiot for proposing it, but then drop the issue, as they would have no problem with me advancing a theory. If I was wrong, they would trust in the power of the “market” to disregard my theory and support their position, and if they were wrong, they would not be bothered to be shown so, as it is more about truth than the individual’s personal success.
Of course, if my theory were correct, the Anticompetitor wants to decree outcomes, so as to not have free, open competition among all, and thus you seek to decree yourself the “winner”, and I must stop saying something you dislike and cede the competition of ideas to you. Even though this is actually not your website, you don’t even speak for anyone else here, and you are more or less impotenet to enforce any decree, despite your YELLING.
Tsk tsk.
FYI. Know yourself, know your enemy, 1000 battles, 1000 victories.
Thank you for the debate, though, as this is great prep for me. Keep it coming.
Cheers!
