Stability without rigidity and plasticity without chaos.
“The same is true of all locomotion. Rockets, for example, eject massive amounts of matter at high speed to push themselves in the opposite direction. Animals in the sea and air push against water and atmosphere respectively. There is always a push to move.”

Sigh.. No. I know what you’re trying to get at, but that is still not correct.
Just some things I was thinking about one day.
Decided to post it to get any constructive feedback.
FYI, this scale is not fully fleshed out or set in stone.
Also, some things can belong to multiple descriptions. 🙂
From my old blog, http://ai-brain.blogspot.com/2012/12/scale-of-intelligence-levels.html
Imagine people in Europe during the time of the Bubonic plague.
On one side, people with a strong rational fear of rats.
On the other, a bunch of morons in red hats waiving around their pet rats and talking about freedom..
Trumps say many things out loud that I too have also thought. The thoughts that float into my awareness, are considered for a brief moment, and then discarded as illogical, irrational, inane, incorrect, crazy, senseless, absurd, sophistic, unreasonable, and unscientific..
Opinions and beliefs are for things we don’t know facts about.

Sure, put on your rose colored glasses.
Bury your head in the hot sand.
Ignore your conscience screaming.
Ignore the wars burning the world.
Let us know how things turn out… for all of our children.
Amen.

What refutes science:
Better science.
What doesn’t refute science:
Your feelings.
Your religion.
Your favorite politician.
Your half-baked opinion after watching two YouTube videos.
“A lot of time mainstream science agrees with stuff ten years later.”
[She was talking about “Alternative Medicines” and to avoid something scientifically-valid if you “follow the money!”.]
No. No, we do not. We follow verifiable facts and conclusions from following the Scientific Method.
If it is unverifiable, it is discarded. For everything verifiable, it is added to our collective knowledge which helps further new discoveries and new ideas.
Many discoveries and research are made from plants, animals, insects, previous research & science, etc.. along with all other sources.
We don’t discard something because someone “made money” from a discovery or research. The money does not invalidate the Science or research done. The two are intertwined, yes. But the Science is not ‘defined’ by the money (or the source of).
I feel like I’m going to explode with anger.
I am sick of people spreading false information.
I am tired of people sticking their heads in the ground.
I am sick and tired of people pushing their ignorance and hatred onto other people.
Go away, you stupid f#cks.
