Spoiler: Maybe this is what they're referring to? (click to show/hide)

I dunno man. That's just an odd way to say evolution. Maybe he's hoping he'll become the next potato salad guy :P

"Longitudinal studies" are those of the same subject over long periods of time. So I guess it crept in as a reference to long periods of time in general, or else was an attempt to sound smart.

Of course, that still doesn't explain the self-sustaining circles bit. I guess flies evolve back into maggots after they've evolved into flies?

Yeah, which is why I put down a dollar that's not at real risk to ask the question in the comments.

Maggots don't evolve into flies.

It's probably a reference to science words they've heard.  Your standard cargo cult science experiment, go through hte motions and the trappings of science so you're science, even if you explicitly state that you have a political goal that's irrelevant to your research question (Evolution doesn't disprove the concept of God unless you believe in a God that explicitly contradicts evolution) and you've already decided your answer.

"I believe the populist has accepted the idea of evolution due to the lack of evidence of the contrary."

Well, nobody's ever gotten a maggot to the level cap, so we can't be sure.

Somehow it went from 4 to 6 backers, but the amount backed is still $6.66.

Two more people backed, raising it to $8.66, then of the original four, they combined removed $2.
Probably:
BackerA - $1
BackerB - $1
BackerC - $1
BackerD - $3.66
BackerE - $1
BackerF (me) - $1
BackerD - reduced pledge to $1.66

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

You know... an app like this can be fun and I can see why you would want to use it...

But how the world is it that expensive to purchase?

Kill me.
Why? It might give some people a reality check.
aka magic isn't real

I'm not sure why it cost five thousand dollars to make an iphone app like that though. Most people who know how to make things specifically for whatever hellmaze architecture Apple uses could probably knock it up in a day.

It probably does, especially since he needs to do server work too. $2000 for iOS, $2000 for server, $1000 for art/design is pretty reasonable.

Oh I forgot, licensing. Forgot about how much Apple gouges for that. Also missed that he intended to get someone else in to do the graphic design.
But reading through did also make me notice that Parker's idea of altruism is giving money to parapsychology researchers. A pretty top kek.

I love that two people gave 'em $100 each.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.
