I am interested in AI, computers and if and when machines will surpass humans in thinking ability.
No doubt some machines already surpass many of the flotsam here like Wiggs.
Wiggs isn't a dope but he sure believes a lot of crap. Could have too much time and goes
online for an education only to be mislead by crazy people. Well, if you can believe in
a religion you can believe anything is possible. Contrast those beliefs with ideas about
how to make muscles larger...hypertrophy/hyperplasia. For God you accept without evidence
whereas for theories about hypertrophy there must be ways to either demonstrate the
phenomenon or get results. What continues to amaze me is the lack of doing personal
experiments to find out if a theory or method works. One workout for arms or calves
would establish a result and two weeks would prove the method...or otherwise.
So Pellius presents a study showing that DOMS affected subjects didn't grow. That
is a worry for my theory. I then have to examine that article and find out why they
didn't grow. If not, then my theory is not valid. So I would have to alter it to include
the results of that experiment.
Would you believe that in the sixties and seventies studies were done on the effectiveness
of anabolic steroids and most didn't find that steroids worked. One problem was that those
conducting the experiments didn't include ingesting more calories as part of the study.
The results in those days were amusing to bodybuilders because they knew from experience
that steroids worked. Most users kept quiet about any involvement with drugs because that
was considered cheating. That was before the medical people and politicians decided to
ban the use of growth inducing drugs for muscle building. How come they allow dangerous
drugs like Botox to be used to make people look younger? Those doctors are hypocrites
because giving dangerous drugs to people who are not sick goes against the oath they took before
becoming doctors.
