Scott Adam’s Blog
I’m putting this here because I don’t want to do a full write-up, but some people might be interested in checking this out.
Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, has a blog, and is doing his best to create a wankstorm with it. He admits at several points that he loves stirring up shit, and finds the whole thing hilarious, but that doesn’t slow anyone down.
To start it all off, he posts about Intelligent Design and Evolution. Unsuprisingly, he gets a strong reaction.
“I mention, unwisely and without the benefit of actual knowledge, that all of the human-like fossils ever found can fit into a small box. PZ cleverly misinterprets my point as if I was referring to all of the INDIVIDUAL human-like fossils ever found, which of course would be thousands. Then he attacks that misinterpretation. I didn’t make my point this clearly in the blog, but it should be obvious to anyone that I meant the RELEVANT fossils. If you find 50 Homo Erectus skeletons, it’s still only one relevant one as far as demonstrating human evolution. The others are somewhat extra from an argument standpoint. PZ mentions four “bunches” of relevant ones that have been found. Call it an even dozen. Unless they have extra large heads, I could put all 12 of them in a small box. I might have to crush them first, but that could be fun too.”
He also posts asking people to tell him why he’s stupid, and “reports” the results in the form of a sarcastic list of internet debating methods. Pissing even more people off.
