It'd be kinda cute if their mockup didn't literally have literally have jaggies left over from their copy/paste job. Sometimes I want to pledge to these Kickstarters so I could link other projects that asked for what they did but look about 4000x times as good and complex.

Lol......this is their second attempt at it.  The first time they wanted $150,000!

Hehe. I think they forgot to cut some pixels out of the "jumping cat" frame. There are some extra pixels up right. Anyway, this seems like an attempt to just make a ridiculous project similar to the potato salad one and hope it takes off.

So these folks want to disprove evolution by following in the tracks of Charles Darwin trip to the Galaplpalplspalspalpasplpsldsdsad Islands and disprove Evolution via Natural Selection. I dont know how that proves god real, but whatever.

I'm thinking o reporting the kickstarter, because it feels like its reward tiers violates the rules.

4 backers. $6.66 pledged.

[MrWiggles]

Half of their reward tiers are with the requirement that you give them additional money.

Thats why I think they should be reported.

[Graknorke]

We see evolution from a maggot to a fly.

haha they aren't going to prove shit are they?

Then again it wouldn't surprise me that they can't read a Wikipedia article when they can't read the Kickstarter T&Cs.

[Dutrius]

He apparently has a Mater's Degree in Psychology. He obviously knows what he's talking about. Especially as he thinks that flies evolve from maggots.

Also, they guy is apparently in Ecuador, and is currently studying at Arizona State University.

Edit: Just looked at his profile. Apparently he's in Arizona. So how come the kickstarter itself says Guayaquil, Ecuador?

Edit2: What the hell is Evolutionary Psychology?

Edit3: And just how will disproving Evolution help children, as stated in his bio?

It's one of the newer theoretical approaches in the field. Of course, social sciences being social sciences, it still only has a tenuous connection to empiricism even if it does at least try.

Also, nobody noticed the best part? Exactly $6.66 has been pledged.

Well, I'm sold, I'm willing to give them money to disprove Natural Selection as long as they use themselves as test subjects.

Are they afraid of putting the actual amount in the reward tiers, or just dumb? It doesn't seem like KS has an upper limit for reward tiers as far as I've seen.

[MrWiggles]

I believe they the limit is 10k. Other crowd sourcing sites let you up the limit a lot.


Speaking of limits, have you guys heard of Fig? It'll let you actually invest in projects and get an RoI based on the profits of the thing. Its not open up to everyone. D something investment.

[Aklyon]

That fig thing sounds incredibly vague from that description.

[evolution is] limited to a self-sustaining longitudinal circle

The fuck does this sentence even mean?  Longitude has jack shit to do with evolution, unless he means that things literally evolve only in the directions East and West.

I've heard about such things, at least in concept.  I didn't know one had gone active.

[scriver]

things literally evolve only in the directions East and West.

It all makes sense now!

[IronyOwl]

"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?
