Then why do you keep asking me questions if you do not want answers?
You said: "Rejecting the scientific research on gender to maintain an ideological position is an anti-intellectual attack on science." Nonsense, first science has to make an intellectual comment on gender. They have failed to do that. Other than to say we reproduce in this way to recombine the genes and create a natural selection. I think the answer goes beyond this. In general, we are not good at examining ourselves and trying to figure out what goes on in the brain. Science does not even know where memory is stored. It could be stored in our atoms to where you could cremate someone and their memory could still be preserved. Of course, as we get older our memory becomes more difficult to access. But it is still there. My dad could remember what he ate for lunch when he was 12 years old, but he forgot what he did for lunch today.If you quoted the whole of my post (just a few more words) it would be obvious why I responded to you.
Never said they did. I said the scientific method can be used to show that the Bible is true. A hundred million times I could show you the Bible is true and you cannot show even ONCE where the Bible is not accurate or true. I can put all the grains of beach sand on my side of the scale and you cannot even put one grain on your side. I can put all the grains of rice in the world on my side of the scale. You cannot even put one grain on your side.Science doesn't investigate gods.
It is utterly ridiculous to depend purely on presentation and ignore the quality of the content.Why does that not surprise me?
The equation quoted by chatbot describes exponential decay which is familiar to any high school science and maths student and has absolutely nothing to do with scale factors for an expanding universe.I apologize for my confusion, if A = Aₒexp(-Lt) is not the R-W metric, but it is an equation that describes the behavior of the scale factor over time, and can be used in the context of the Robertson–Walker metric for certain models of the universe.

Let us begin with the first word in the Hebrew Bible: Beginning. Is there or is there not a beginning?
I am not described in the Bible.Did your life have a beginning?
Today is not mentioned in the bible.Did today have a beginning?

It is when proponents of CRT claim that race is a social construct like sex is a scientific fact. CRT makes a number of claims that they say are based on fact like everyone and all instituitions are inherently racist. To make the ideology seem legit to be able to enforce it on society incluedng eeducation they have to claim fake facts. It seems to be working as CRT unederpins areas from history, sociology, psychology and even the STEM fields.There are two kinds of CRT. Neither has anything to do with science.
The original, which I'll call "academic-CRT" is a study of legal and economic impacts of policies and laws by race, particularly on unintended consequences that are racially imbalanced. It has nothing to do with science.
The newer version, which I call "Rufo-CRT" after it's "inventor", is a grab bag of white grievance politics about race, particularly the teaching of history of race relations in the US. It has nothing to do with science.
Even if you claims are true about CRT and post-modernism, it still has nothing to do with science. It is not a form of anti-intellectualism directed at science.
Lol I thought that would go down well. The point was you can tell ideologies by their narrow view of the worled and how this view is claimed as a truth that everyone should follow. Any position that claims this is how things should be and how we should think is dangerous and anti-intellectual. In its extreme version it becomes totalitarian and we have seen what happens then. That is why many opponents mention freedom of speech and thinking which are the fundemental tenets and long heled truths of western thinking.I'm not sure what any of that is supposed to mean, but I dig your crack at religious belief.
Not sure what you mean.You've mistaken volume of noise for importance and impact.
Its also known as colonialism, or Eurocentric, White priviledge. Basicall white Europeans especially males are usually the target of these ideologies because they represent what is percieved as an oppressive regime that imposed a certain way of thinking on everyone especially minorities. Therefore the colonialist system must be torn down and replaced by the new utopian ideological way of thinking. Its usually Marxist based in that its a power struggle between minorities and those in power. Except instead of the working class and the elites they have extended this oppressor and victim idea to race and gender.The American mainstream has been anti-intellectual for a very long time. Not even sure what "western white thinking" is as I am not race obsessed.
I think its real and so do many people. Its not just imaginary as the studies and research has been done. The fact that most people agree theres a culture war going on supports this. We here it just about every eday. White priviledge is the new catchcry useed for just about every injustice. We have had protests and even riots. Its really happening.Your paranoia is showing.
There is a lot about race that can be traced back to genetics and biology. For example there are genetics markers for skin color, disease propensity/resistance, facial proportions, distribution of sweat glands, hair color ect.It *is* almost entirely social construct with just a tiny veneer of a few phenotypes.

You are giving "CRT" more space in your head than it deserves. making it more imporant than even it's advocates propose.Not sure what you mean.
If you think this kind of thinking has any traction in science, you are wrong.Its also known as colonialism, or Eurocentric, White priviledge.

I am interested in when you think this anti-intellectualism started. I think it began around the mid 20th century with the cultural revolutions especially in the universities when they became more political. I know we have had periods in the past such as when the church ruled which was anti intellectual in that belief influenced how people seen the world. But we moved away from that into Enlightened thinking and the scientific revolution. Now it seems we are regressing back to allowing beliefs to dictate thinking with these ideologies becoming more prominent.
Again, all superficial phenotypes. Tell me how does one determine who is "white" in America today? In 1950? In 1900? In 1850? Answer that question and you will know now mostly cultural race is.I think its real and so do many people. Its not just imaginary as the studies and research has been done. The fact that most people agree theres a culture war going on supports this. We here it just about every eday. White priviledge is the new catchcry useed for just about every injustice.

Who says we should ignore biology and genetics in gender?But this is no different to sex. There are aspects of sex that can be socially determined like gender. Gender is partly socially constructed such as degrees of mascullinity and feminine traits and behaviour.
But the point is there is some biological and genetic basis which is an important consideration in how we understaned human behaviour. But what ideologues do is they deny the biology and genetics completely and take a one sided view which is why its a belief and not science. Its a limited view to protect the belief and not an open and free thinking approach that considers all the factors. Thats why its anti-intellectual.
I have bought lots of books I never read because they are a waste of time. They should be reduced to a magazine article. If the author even knows what he is talking about at all, which is rare. Readers digest use to condense the books down. Now we can do that with a chatbot. If we want more information, ask for more. If we want less tell the chatbot to condense the information. We can set the level anywhere from preschool to Ph.D. Then we can be amazed when PhD's do not understand a chatbot set at preschool levels. Used to be we would struggle to get them into the third grade. Now we struggle to get them to pass a preschool readiness test.I now realize I never read it.
I understand your disdain for chatbots, but like it or not, your job is to teach people how to use it.
Because I studied theater and lighting, that is what I studied in Physics. I had a friend who was doing stained glass and was having trouble getting the results he wanted. I had to explain to him the difference between the additive color theory and the subtractive color theory.No, my job is not to teach people how to use chatbots. It is to do physics.
You studied theater lighting, not physics.Because I studied theater and lighting, that is what I studied in Physics.
who?In astrophysics, Neil Degrasse believes...
You are insufferable aren't you?But if you're happy and content with the mediocre, then carry on.
That is the way I was taught. We want people to remember Bible truth so we teach in a way that they will remember. Jesus was the greatest teacher that ever lived. Even if we just study the sermon on the mount. So we try to learn from Jesus how to teach. Remember when He said: "“If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole ... Matthew 5:30You are insufferable aren't you?
The additive and subtractive color theories are based on the physics of light and color. Everything has color, but the color is in the light. Objects have the ability to absorb or reflect light. In theater, we filter the light.You studied theater lighting, not physics.
Neil Degrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.who?
If you think current chatbots are good at pointing to valid sources of information you really don't understand chatbots.I love irony because the chatbot you hate can do exactly that.

The first study is real but was published in 2011, not 2018. I had nothing to do with it. The second study seems to be a complete fabrication. The third and fourth studies are real and have the correct dates, but I again had nothing to do with them, although they were by colleagues of mine. The last sentence of the summary of the fourth paper is exactly wrong.Stephen Schaffner has published several studies about positive selection in malaria. Here are some of his most notable publications:
- "Positive selection of Plasmodium falciparum parasites with multiple var2csa-type PfEMP1 genes during the course of infection in pregnant women" (2018). This study examined how the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum adapts during pregnancy to infect the placenta. The authors found that the parasite undergoes positive selection for genes that encode a protein called PfEMP1, which helps the parasite bind to placental cells.
- "Positive selection on Plasmodium falciparum surface antigens drives adaptation to new and variable environments" (2019). This study looked at how the malaria parasite adapts to different environments by analyzing the genetic diversity of surface antigens. The authors found that positive selection was a major driver of adaptation in these genes.
- "A framework for variation discovery and genotyping using next-generation DNA sequencing data" (2011). Although not directly related to positive selection in malaria, this paper describes a tool called GATK (Genome Analysis Toolkit) that is widely used in genomic research, including in studies of malaria.
- "Genetic diversity and protective efficacy of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine" (2015). This study evaluated the genetic diversity of the malaria parasite after vaccination with the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine, which targets the circumsporozoite protein. The authors found that the vaccine did not induce positive selection for escape mutants, indicating that it is unlikely to lead to vaccine resistance.
Just lazy. When you say Musk people know who you mean. If you say Tyson they think of chicken legs.Why do you keep omitting his surname when talking about him then?
