An infinitely generative process, like language, couldn't have gradually evolved simply because lit's infinite. A computational system doesn't go from small to large to infinite.

And going back to my main point, some things have more to do with natural physical laws than anything else. A cell divides in sphere's, not cubes. Not because of natural selection but because the physical laws just don't allow for anything else. The Merge function seems to be the result of a...

They are distinct from one another. Like everything in biology there are degrees of interaction, so yes sexual selection does have a slight connection to natural selection. Just like exaptations, exaptations cannot happen without the force of natural selection in the background. But you have...

Yes, I understand. The Broca area seems to be where the Merge operation takes place. But that has nothing to do with what I said.

I think ZyyzYzzy didn't even complete a biology course in high school. Natural selection, sexual selection, exaptations, etc. are distinct from one another. Open any advanced textbook in biology. And yes they are all apart of the 'natural' evolutionary process. No one argues every single trait...

A very well thought out refutation of what I wrote. This is incorrect. Not everything is the result of natural selection in the evolutionary process; there is sexual selection, exaptation, genetic drift, and plenty more. And like I said, the archaeological evidence points to a sudden shift in...

You nerds ready for a wall of text? What's the difference between us and all other species that have ever lived? Language seems to be the unanimous answer, or rather the underlying computational operation that allows us to use language. I first learned about this from a few cognitive science...

I call bullshit. I'd really like to know what sources you have for this assertion. We don't even know the precise genetic component for much simpler things like eye color, so to say we'll have a 'cure' for a cognitive trait like gender identity anytime soon is vastly overstating where the...

Whoever the NA team is will probably only get top 8 at best. NP looking like shit the last 2 days, and CoL will disappoint again if they win the invite. It's basically EG or nothing for NA at the moment.

In all seriousness I had zero attraction to other guys growing up, so in my mind i'm not even 1% homosexual. It comes down to whether you truly believe a person can have a male/female brain and be born with the body plan of the opposite gender. And unless you're a religious fanatic it...

wtf is this thread turning into. lets get back on track.

for a change of pace, a girl with no dick

less shitposts, more trannies

Here's an idea hodj: if there's a thread on this forum you think is stupid then don't read/post in it. There's plenty of shit on this board I think is stupid but I don't go out of my way to make sure everyone knows it, most of the drama I don't even know about until it spills over into separate...

I stopped reading his posts a year ago. The best way to handle people like him is to just ignore them.

not if you got to meet her in Vegas

I support this

I forgot about Starcraft: Ghost, that game looked really awesome.

I just can't bring myself to play it anymore. It reminds me how much better 1.6 was.

New twist: Convo got a job at VR Game On - Visionary Realms Talks Pantheon & Industry Jobs - Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - MMORPG.com

I just can't bring myself to watch his movies after The Village. That movie made me so angry after I paid 12 bucks to watch it in the theater. Even before the 'twist' it was so ridiculous and cheesy. A BLIND girl finds a hole in the woods and knows when to step away so the retard in the monster...

the new Mario game looks retarded
