Beta Testing – BUGS December 22, 2016 @ 10:15 amCreated the sub group “Audiophile” under “Arts & Music”. The platform insists on appending ” 1″ to the name of the subgroup. Is this intended, with purpose, or a bug? Is there a way to remove the addition?

Im wondering if you get a ‘notification’ of some sort, like facebook, when i comment on your post. Please let me know 🙂

Charles Beebe replied
Thanks for the question! I did and do, @anna_lowell! 🙂 Also, like Twitter and FB, putting an @ symbol in front of a username (a ‘mention’) is another way to notify another user of a message. That’s useful if you’re starting a new thread, as opposed to responding to a previous comment, like this. In the latter case, you get notified regardless of…[Read more]

I just realized that we are (society is) entering a manic phase.

Except this is no Dutch Tulip Craze affecting just Europe–this mania is now global. We are entering a period…[Read more]

Those are escape marks, which the interpreter should be using internally to distinguish between quote marks in a string and quote marks as part of code–except obviously, it’s not working right. This is definitely a curious bug.

wrote a new post, Creationist Author Claims Adolf Hitler was a Pantheist in a New Book October 19, 2016 @ 2:46 pm
Richard Weikart, professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus, has penned a new book about Adolf Hitler, claiming, among other things, that Hitler was a pantheist. The book summary:

Perry Rod replied
Thank you for your reply, Richard. I have not read your book nor am I an academic on the subject of Adolf Hitler. However, the contents of my article are accurate. You and your benefactors are proponents and activists of an idea – namely, creationism – that is considered pseudoscience by the scientific community. How can you be a credible teacher of history when you deny the evolutionary history of humanity and the planet?
I have also looked at some of these authors you mentioned and they share your passion for trying to link Hitler’s pursuits with Darwinism, “nature mysticism,” etc. – and they receive similar criticisms as you have. It’s especially fitting that you highlight the authority of a 1937 Pope for “accusing” Nazism of pantheism. It’s 2016, sir, and far fewer people believe that the Pope is any kind of credible authority regarding philosophical or academic categories of theology. Only a few like yourself carry along the ancient backward tradition of using pantheism as a pejorative term.
My guess in regards to your book is you cherry pick Hitler’s ramblings about God and due to your own clear lack of scientific sophistication, you likely confuse a wartime dictator’s appreciation for science as evidence of “pantheism”. But feel free to send me a copy and I’ll take a look. I certainly cannot bring myself to purchase something funded by an institution in favor of brainwashing and making our children less informed.

Perry Rod replied
Thanks for the correction regarding funding. I have updated the article to reflect that it was funded by the California public university (which is pretty shocking, frankly).
-
Perry Rod replied
Yes, it is shocking and disappointing that a California public institution provides research and writing funding (and tenure) for someone involved in a radical activist group aiming to brainwash public school children with anti-evolution, anti-science nonsense.

Perry, every spirituality/religion has its black sheep.
If you read Hitler’s Table talk – recorded by Martin Borman – for October 14th and 24th, 1941, it is very hard indeed not to come away with the idea that he was a pantheist. He was also a vegetarian and an animal lover.
He was also a ruthless tyrant, mass murderer and crazed racist who wrecked most of Europe and caused the death or displacement of 100s of millions of people.
As to his use or rather misuse of Darwin, “social Darwinism” was extremely popular among many right wing but also many liberal intellectuals in the second half of the 19th century.
All social Darwinists say basically that Nature weeds out the unfit (which is true) and selects the fit.
They go on to point out that humans, by taking care of the sick and handicapped, have put natural selection in abeyance. Which is also true.The key step is when they say that society should bring back natural selection and sterilize or even exterminate unfit humans.
That is a non sequitur. It is not a scientific conclusion that follows from Darwinism. It is a political judgment.Today most people in Western countries (except the USA) accept the theory of evolution
but they do not accept that society should reintroduce natural selection.Therefore Creationists cannot point to eugenics and Hitler to prove that Darwinism is undesirable or wrong.
Darwinism thrives today, but no-one is suggesting we should kill or sterilize the weak and handicapped.Not can anyone point to Hitler to show that pantheism is wrong.
He’s just one of our bad sheep, like Stalin or Pol Pot for atheism or Torquemada and the Borgias for Christianity.Paul

Hi John, that was actually on purpose. Based on the Activity record (the ‘Feed’ on the first Social/Groups page), I see you first created the group ‘Audiophile’ (i.e., you successfully created the group without a “1” appended). Then you created it again, and the system automatically appended ‘-1’. I don’t anticipate this happening often, but IF…[Read more]
Thanks Charles! I actually experienced this with my FIRST attempt at making the group as well. I wondered if I had accidentally missed the opportunity to correct it so I deleted the group and gave it another go. To be clear, both attempts ended with the ” 1″ appendage.
Hi @jon_hoskins, can you please tell me what platform you were using to create the original post, above (beginning with “Created the sub group”)? Were you on a mobile device? I’m trying to pinpoint when the quote marks are posting with an “escape” (a \ slash) in front of it. It didn’t happen in your later post, and it’s not all Windows OSes.
Hi @charles_beebe, I have only interfaced with this platform using my desktop PC. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, latest Chrome.
