@sonhouse saidVery interesting article, but it wasn't the results of the data from Seshat that got my attention. The article didn't exactly say much about how the program worked.

What I found interesting was that man builds a machine, writes a program and feeds the machine date, then believes what the machine says is true.
Just something not right about it. No doubt someone will inform me about how ignorant I am. Don't bother, I already know. 🙃
"Seshat is an unprecedented collaboration between anthropologists, historians, archaeologists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and evolutionary scientists", says Patrick Savage, corresponding author of the article. "It shows how big data can revolutionize the study of human history."

@secondson saidI didn't expect the data to be believed by the religious set. There is nothing anyone can say using science that would convince the religious of an change needed in creed.

@sonhouse saidIt's not that. I'm sure the data has at least some validity. Not sure what is being proved without more information.

Never heard of "Big god" before! 🤔

@secondson saidBig god I assume is about the ones that have human like attributes of revenge and such, like the nasty god killing all land animals just to get to a few bad humans. Big BAD god is more like it. The sad part is people falling for that scam hook line and sinker.

@sonhouse saidI don't think the big BAD god, as you defined it, that you don't believe exists, exists. 💁🏻♂️

@secondson saidI don't for a nanosecond think that god exists or if it does it is mercifully leaving hands off so we can rise or fall on our own petards. Your alleged god taught us NOTHING about science, what not to eat, except pork and we now know why but your so-called god would never just come out and say, guys, there are these little bugs inside that pork you have to cook the hell out of if you want it to be safe. NOOO just 'don't eat pork' Just like a human would have said given the total lack of science 3000 years ago. It wasn't a god that said don't eat pork it was humans and the same with everything else in the bible and all the rest of the religions in the world, all man made to control people, nothing more.

@sonhouse saidWhere in the Bible does it say "don't hit yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer"?

@secondson saidIn other words you god left it up to humans to do EVERYTHING for themselves. If so, why did it say not to eat pork? Of all the bad deals in the world, plague from rat fleas was a much bigger deal than trichinosis. That just says to me it was humans who wrote the bible, 100% since you yourself just admitted your god wants humans to figure it all out. Which we are doing.
Where in the Bible does it say "don't hit yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer"?
@secondson saidIs it after mutilating boys' penises and before magic tricks with bread & fish?
