Gore’s “Inconvenient Truthâ€â€”“an embarrassment"
Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth,†is an embarrassment to US science. Surprise, surprise. From CFC (Canada FreePress), http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harris060406.htm Guest Column—Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe—The Inconvenient Truth" is indeed inconvenient to alarmists, By Tom Harris, Monday, June 12, 2006:

Very interesting, thanks. But I don't know what it has to do with Evolutionary Psychology...

Ironic that Margaret’s “axiom,†while circular and pretty much useless, does nevertheless, sort of, explain why people with gore's and her “liberal†ideology push and even believe their own BS agendas, apparently unable to discern truth and/or reality. |

So the intent was to provoke more examples on EP's forum of people's Repression Modules hiding differing facets of reality from them? I think we already have enough.

Ergo, this example proves that the Repression Module hides facets of reality . . . except when it doesn’t. Yep Tom, your repression module hypothesis seems to be about as useful as MM’s axiom of human nature. |

Gore is completely invested in being a Democrat, his repression module would filter anything that didn't directly attack Bush and the Republicans; unless he was willing to acknowledge the rest of his brain that tries to represent reality. Plus, while I'm not sure there isn't the god you're so invested in, I'm very sure that you'd be defending whatever god your culture supported. You'd be arguing that there must be a Mercury god carrying the sun in his little chariot, if only you'd been born a couple millennia ago in a different place. If you'd been born in China, or in the Australian outback, or in the Yukon, or in Jordan, or in India, you'd be just as convinced that you're right about everything you now think is wrong. I know this because you have never met your god and talked with him; you only parrot the dementia that you've heard and read. That you can't see this is sad. And you might still be defending this 10 commandment objective moral generator til you're blue in the face against evolution and brain modules in part because of this repression module. The part you're missing is that the repression module acts in defense of your own ego; maybe you ought to read the article again here: http://www.behavior.net/bolforums/showthread.php?t=728. You've invested far too many of your ridiculous arguments to admit that you've been so wrong for so long, no matter how obvious the repression article shows that the brain is far more potent than any invisible spirit you can dream up. But you psychologically NEED yourself to be right, so you're probably unable to acknowledge the power of the repression module and the regret module. Maybe to punish those like me who tell you the truth; maybe to grant you the mansion in the sky for eternity that you long for; maybe just to be right for a change. I don't know for sure; but I also know that you don't, either. |

Seriously Tom, ask Carey and/or Todd and/or JimB to review that article and I think they’ll all pretty much say the same. And again Tom, I can’t find where I’ve been “defending†“God,†as you so hastily and/or disingenuously assert. Got a link? No, I didn’t think so. Nevertheless, for your edification, again, here’s my view of things: I’m obviously no atheist; and the current science and evidence undoubtedly supports what these great scientists (obviously not atheists) have had to say: Einstein: “Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a spirit vastly superior to that of man....†Last edited by Fred H.; June 19th, 2006 at 08:40 AM.. |

1. Woman's arm is paralyzed. 2. Woman denies paralysis. 3. Woman's brain is stimulated in 'experiment'. 4. Woman realizes she's paralyzed, and that she had been all along. 5. Simulation wears off. 6. Woman denies paralysis. 7. Woman remembers everything about stimulation experiment EXCEPT that she admitted that she was paralyzed. The 'EXCEPT' is the kicker. Something in her brain is actively repressing her memory as well as her perception of her disability. She can not accept that she's suffered because her brain will not let her. There's no free will there. You're wrong, Fred. |
