A google search costs nothing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

“There is no evolutionary explanation for x!”
- There is, actually, here’s one of them.

It’s not as if you have to agree with what anyone offers you, numbskull...but if you want to discuss something, it’s generally good form to agree on the common facts of that discussions fucking existence, lol.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to say "there is no evolutionary explanation for x!"

Atta boy, now enjoy one of the model based control theories.

Ironically, I'm always looking up textbook or emailing professors from courses I'm not required to take but want to learn about. So its right up my alley. Tell me the course and I'll look it up.

So a wiki post, not an actual paper? Hmm.

That seems to be the most reasonable step for anyone genuinely interested in a more in-depth investigation of a particular scientific topic.
It doesn't seem reasonable from a financial stand point, but perhaps I can get the syllabus from my university and just read their textbook or assaigned papers. What course teaches model based control so I can look it up?
Why would you assume I know the answer to that question? You’re the one with the insatiable thirst for knowledge. Go research some courses. I’m assuming you’re an adult, yeah?

You understand how Wikipedia works, yes? There are citations at the bottom, lol. Why do you insist on being baby-birded this stuff?

Books and scholarly papers are in the "For further reading" section of that wiki article. There you go.

Spends a day bitching about not being given a link that would turn up on a google search. Claims that this, this is the problem.
Is given a link that would turn up on a google search........
..................still has a problem.
Worth another page, I guess. : shrugs :

Of course, but clearly I'm making my requests partly because I don't think the gentlemen knows what he's talking about. Its just an assumption of course. It's just an odd behavior. If any of you had any questions about vision or consciousness, or other topics in psychology, I have no problem pointing you to any of the papers I've read. I generally keep them on an organized folder on my computer. They're all highlighted. So I have no problem discussing any of them. I wouldn't have you read the papers at the bottom of a wiki page, because those might not be the ones I've read.
If he's not wasting my time, he can just send me the paper, I'll read it tonight, and we can discuss it in the morning. Earlier in the forum (Nakara I believe?) sent one such paper, I read and responded. Simple and straightforward.

If you aren’t capable of conducting an independent investigation into the totality of evidence publicly available to you on this subject you seem to care so much about, what on earth did you think you would accomplish by coming here? Atheists are in no way obligated to provide you with a science education.
