What a fucking moron.

Archaeologists are constantly aware of what they don't know and cannot know, and make these things very clear when they publish. Seems like you are taking pseudoarchaeologists at t…

Ummm how do these examples have anything to do with the actual case at hand? You're just wildly throwing extremely different examples out there and drawing completely inadequate co…

Yep, that's pretty much how science works actually. For the downvoters out there: knowledge is validated in relation to what we already know. I do not deny the existence of reality…

No idea what you mean by outline. Also, I'm glad that you implicitly recognize the difference between being wrong and having insufficient data.

Yep, the Cerruti mastodon site in San Diego is not actually the result of human activity. See the following references: + https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/20555563.2019.…

Yep, it does indeed have a nefarious past, and archaeologist tend to own this criticism and have worked towards genuinely working in an anti-colonial spirit (though there are still…

Graham Hancock is an egotistical moron who is more entrenched in his own beliefs than any actual archaeologist today would ever be. What he and other pseudoarchaeologists claim to …

I work at a site that claims to have evidence that would have similar implications. The burden of proof is indeed very high, and for good reason. You need to demonstrate that (a) t…

> The pyramids are an example of this distinction. The pyramids were never lost. They were in plain sight the entire time. Local people knew about them. They were 'discovered' by E…

> Surely "LEAST" would be doing only non-invasive sensing, and rescue digs? Many digs still aren't. You're nitpicking and you know it. >> digging test pits and strips, to avoid com…

I never claimed you took back any of your own claims. But you did misrepresent mine. Your quotes and citations do not support your argument in any way, and are therefore irrelevant…

I am not asserting that he is tendentious. I'm writing that his public outreach work is a necessary part of being a scientist, as it helps improve public understanding of valid and…

> Your first criticism was that Krugman and Yudkowsky weren’t biologists, so I found multiple examples of biologists saying Gould was untrustworthy. Now you’re claiming that the cr…

Again, I find it really funny that these guys are politicizing the guy who they claim to be politicizing science. All of this critique is criticism of character and of rhetorical s…

Guns, Germs and Steel is an absolute garbage book. It's pseudoscience, plain and simple. It's teaching unacceptable ways to think about culture, by any anthropologist's standards.

neither of those quotes, written by people who are not biologists, actually demonstrate how Gould is supposedly wrong. I find it ironic that they are the ones accusing Gould of pol…

What is pseudoscientific about those words? Read the book to see how they are used, and why the selected language is actually sensible in its given context. Your criticism is like …

> Musk is technically very clever (have you seen SpaceX rockets landing in tandem?)s o it's likely he has something that comes close to what he's saying. This was done in the 90s, …

I'm curious about what you consider 'other areas' to be, and about how competent you think you are at them.

> ahahahahah you actually believed me when I joked that AutoPilot™ isn't just cruise control?! wow i'm so funy!!1 ~ elom nutts

College is education, not training. Crucial aspects of working in the real world are learned on the job, things that how to operate in an office environment, how to collaborate, ho…

This is one of the most patronizing and boneheaded comments I've read here. I strongly suggest you read this if you want to get a more complete picture: https://uapress.arizona.edu…
