Because I am viewing you in your cage.

You think with feeling. You SEEK your addiction of the flesh, pleasure, and take it over the quest of challenging for greater understanding. Your higher thought processes are restrained by chemical orgasms and they make you their slave without your awareness. You roll about with your single track mind searching for treats. I suspect that
you
have
no
true
free
will
and that we all may never because above all

you took the bait.

You make very reliable toys. I am very entertained now. That is why I made this thread, for the very reasons I hate.

Oh ho! But think for a moment, Ignoro, about who has lost more in this exchange. Think. You wrote a long, elaborate rant about intelligent design. You trapped yourself in your own pretentious web of trolling.

To be victorious, you must come out with less of a loss than others. In this respect, you have failed. You gave me and mainiac an interesting sideshow, and you cost yourself the time it took to set your topic.

You try too hard.

So you start with a jolly good "moving the goalposts", dabble in "there is no such thing as free will", and finish off with "dance, puppets, dance!"  Okay, we've been trolled by a pro.  I'm so furious I just had to go out and buy a new keyboard and monitor because I smashed my old ones on the floor, you trolled me so well.  You win, ignoro!

You've completely owned the entire Bay12Games forum, so now you can go away and pollute some other message board.

Or, alternately, you can chill out and realize that your definition of "intelligent design" differs from the one that 99.9% of the rest of the world uses, and you can either agree to disagree with everyone else or revise your definition.

I laughed to see this post. Wow Ignoro. Quick tip, acting like it was all an experiment makes you look stupid. Go to stardestroyer.net. Look up darkstar/Robert Scott Anderson in the hate-mail. Find his forum experiment. This is exactly what he tried to pass off the failed attempt as. You're going to get about as far with this pathetic attempt at recovering your credibility as he did. Or less given that your aren't as skilled a rhetorician.

Yes, but why would I? You may have spent your time writing it, but I don't feel the need to waste mine. After all, talking is much funner.

Ironically, this topic has shown how much you care about things. You're fired from your position as Minister of Apathy until you stop trying so hard.

You are Minister of Apathy, right?

Edit: People, look up "Dr. Botanus" on that website neo posted. It's some totally insane guy sending the website's owner bizarre and insulting emails. An insane guy with a super villain name.

Now listen here: ID is FACT. At least on Earth because of us. It is THEORY applied elsewhere, but it is valid theory with scientific fact.

There is a distinction between a theory and a valid scientific theory. The validity of an idea claiming legitimacy as scientific theory is tied to its ability to be submitted to the rigors of science, and not to its plausibility. The fact that humans have engineered or domesticated of certain species on earth is evidence that the principles behind evolution work, and also serves to demonstrate the plausibility of designed life. But it does not make it a valid theory with scientific anything.

I avoid the term falsifiability because while it is a powerful argument, invoking it literally involves a bit of hypocrisy. Instead, consider whether an unknown intelligence designed bears. What would constitute evidence in favor of this? What would constitute evidence against this? Would there be some discovery that would force a modification of the theory? And given all this, is there any kind of experiment or study that would have a high probability of contradicting or supporting your theory?

The last is important. Without it, your theory is immune to scientific inquiry. Why bother? You've merely concocted some metascientific guesswork. Creationism falls into this area. It's plausible, but misses the point of science. Intelligent Design by all appearances seems to fall into the same trap. You cannot simply take evidence against evolution as evidence in favor of ID; this is fallacious false dichotomy. You must be able to present a way to test if there was an intelligent designer.

If you have a good way to do that, you may have a well-paid future working for the intelligent design lobby in bringing their ideas to acceptance in mainstream science.

Wow Ignoro. Quick tip, acting like it was all an experiment makes you look stupid.
You still do not understand. You did not read the second half, several of the exact things I described were so willingly demonstrated?

Yes. I fail for making this self defeating thread, and you would see why it is self defeating if you read the whole initial post. That is why I made this thread, for the very reasons I hate. If you don't understand that last sentence then you haven't a clue. Chemical pleasure guided me to go on about how I hate the influence of such as much. As it did you to crush me with "wow, phail".

An animal fights to the death when cornered, a wise animal backs away from defeat, but only a man can defy all nature and embrace defeat because it is one of the few things that can mark him as a man. Yes I phail here. I'll take all the phail I can't get and go for more against all that is natural of me. If you do not understand why, then you do not understand the point. I reject what should be natural to prove to myself above core instinct and of free (as I can get) will. I've only met one other person on this quest in my life. To be (as much as I can be) self-aware of why I think and do what I do to struggle in a quest that I, not a biological machine, exist. I try to prove myself to myself by attempting to beat the human condition even though it is impossible but that is why I do it.

That is what I was saying, that they approached the enemy by instinct.
The two were slipping in fighting words, thinking of enemy people instead of abstract ideas, they even banded into a group and traded some fuzzy feelings with back and forth QFT. They could never approach such a thing neutrally because they thought with their feelings. They had no will of their own there.
Did you see Inaluct, before in the other ID thread, when after being the wise animal that backs away without directly admitting defeat, he immediately turned to dominate a lesser to gain the chemicals he craves from the need I induced? This sort of thing. Inaluct the machine turned to dominate. His will was subjective.

That was no experiment. That was not trolling. That was a demonstration by their means alone, not mine. Did you not read the second half either? Did you not see me marking their actions the entire way?

Did no one understand what I was saying in the first post about biased approaches to ideas due to instinct? That we have no neutral mind due to animalistic nature? That was the whole point of the post. The ID was an example and they willingly went forth and demonstrated. I highlighted little bits of what they did with "again!" and "There!"

I give cyber batches of cookies to the few that went "Maybe" at first. They took the rare 'second approach' in a close enough way it gives me hope.

Quote
Ironically, this topic has shown how much you care about things.
I Ignore nature and substitute it with my own?

I think I may be able to boil down the idea you were intended to read (given you actually read the whole thing):
I reject autonomous thought therefore I am a free mind.
Alas though, truly I can not and I fear we are all but machines of dust.

DO NOT SIMPLY DO. My pet peeve is that so few make the effort to stretch their minds for the sake of it. Did you read what I used to do?

No one has even taken a stab at the 'second approach' I talked about either because you are all still looking at the bait. I might just have to delete that section of the post.

Jonathan S. Fox I highly respect you. I see that if even you did not catch what the bait was working up to, I failed at explaining this idea of mine well enough.

Now watch this everyone:
That is my fault

 and I have tried harder this time to get this across. I fear few will understand I hate it when people show a definitive influence of their emotions and instinct over higher thought and I am driven mad by the lack of truly free will that it implies and attempt to fight it at times even though I now it is futile as fighting what I hate is self defeating for this whole purpose which is what is to be discussed:
Thinking by instinct and the impediment of higher thought.

With the exact credentials used by all other theories about life not of our planet?

EDIT:
AH! Found it:

The assertion or belief that physical and biological systems observed in the universe result from purposeful design by an intelligent being rather than from chance or undirected natural processes. This is from the dictionary.

Are there biological and physical systems we observe in the universe that resulted from purpose instead of chance? Yes or no? If you say no, that means at least a few of the following: we are not in the universe, we do not observe our own lab work, we do not have intentions for what we design, what we created we did not create but it occurred spontaneously without our intervention, we are not an intelligence, we are not responsible for any artificial formations of matter, ...
EDIT:
Tehee, it just occurred to me that almost all of you allowed NO merit at all of any kind of any sort of such to be acknowledged of ID. There's another one I was talking about in the first post.


If you all really want to I'll make another thread for ID.



tl;dr
No tl;dr for you. READ IT THIS TIME.

I designed a sandwich today, it was delicious and made me feel very intelligent. Soon after, I realised it was my emotions, my desires that led to the creation of this sandwich. It was then that I knew that my actions were not of intelligent design. My action of combining ingredients with the ultimate goal of sandwich creation were fueled by my animal instincts. At that point I knew I'd never be free, that I am in fact a slave to the sandwich. :(

I thought about that very deeply while the sandwich passed through my digestive tract.

I came to the conclusion that I was not subject to the enslavement of the sandwich itself but rather by the idea of sandwich.

This became even more apparent to me as I made a second sandwich. As I spread the mayo on the bread, followed by some chicken, a dash of pepper and some lettuce, I realised that I was going through the same motions as before. That the idea of "sandwich" and my desire for gratification were ruling my every action.

yes you got it, words are not facts they are symbols of ideas.  [there is not much point in making them symbolize different things than they were intended to unless it is for a well timed "that's what she said"]

What is the point of pursuing free will, when instinct allows you to function successfully?
