Intelligent Design disproves NKS

I created this thread because our earlier communication that went
under the unappropriate title "NKS disproves intelligent design",
ended in capitulation of NKS team.
In a series of brilliant articles, I, armed with just impeccable logic,
inquisitive mind, unrivalled literary gift and fair amount of common sense,
smashed all feeble arguments of my opponents, and demonstrated, beyond
reasonable doubt, that the opposite is true:
NKS book is incompatible with intelligent design and completely
fails to account for generally accepted phenomena. The crown piece of
my research was dedicated to numerological analysis of NKS vocabulary,
which lead to stunning discovery that NKS disproves the existence
of human being. Following publication of this exciting news, the entire team
of NKS advocates fled the court in panic.

I'm planning to publish the extended collection of my articles as a book
named "Idiot's guide to beating NKS". My complete autobiography (fully
computer-generated) will be printed as a separate book. Book contains
300+ full-colored illustrations, among them are some historical
rarities: "Vasily Shirin and Parmenides discuss the origin of Universe",
"Vasily Shirin and Johannes Kepler carrying telescope to the
summit of Montblant mountain", "Vasily Shirin provides tutoring to Albert
Einstein", etc.

Currently, I'm not planning any further development of my theory
(I'm busy right now creating time machine), but I'm willing to be kind enough
to answer the questions of general public.

Maybe it's time for Jason to add an NKS Humour Forum.

It really is stretching it to use "NKS Ways of Thinking" for this topic which is so clearly about ways of not thinking.

I've long held a theory that humour (or at least our natural response to it) is a mechanism to guarantee we don't clutter our minds with too much nonsense. How hard of is it for most of us to remember jokes?

Maybe the biggest of the uncountable infinitude of problems with the notion of intelligent design is that it presumes way too much of intelligence.

NKS's Principle of Computational Equivalence would have us believe that no intelligence can be intrinsically smarter than Rule 30, and while I don't generally subscribe to such an extreme view, it this particular case the evidence may well be headed that way.

Interview with Leonard Susskind touches upon the subject of this thread.

Yeah, right... Like that post about Bulgakov...

Very... Ermm... "Intelligent".

Breaking news: U.S. District Judge John Jones has just disproved intelligent design. Apparently, he never read Bulgakov's composition either.
What's good about it is that ID will not be taught at school. For, whatever they teach at school, they screw it up beyond all recognition.

Please get back on topic or take it outside. Fun's over.
