Mark, you are amazing!

Pseudointelectuals, in general, are entertaining... but you put most of them to shame, by a full order of magnitude!

Evolution and thermodynamics? Neanderthals and rickets? Are you really *that* dense, or are you just having fun?

>> The extent of the shorts making money in Zitel is basically dumb luck. <<

ROFL!!!!! LOL!!!! LATWTTB!!! (Laughing All The Way To The Bank).

However, I can certainly ascribe your continued postings to "sour grapes." Probably even dumb sour grapes!

>> Look at the reason Zitel has not worked out to date; corporations are late <<

ROFLing even more!! Yeah, that's it; nothing to do with losing massive sums of money; shady finance deals; etc. Corporations are late, so poor ZITL hasn't gotten a fair chance yet.

>> Also, the Theory of Evolution is a direct violation of The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics; <<

Wow, you understand physics as well as you understand ZITL's financials!!

Maybe on your next post you can share even more of your vast knowledge: care to comment on the earth being flat; AMZN being undervalued; Bre-X being loaded with gold; ZITL being a great stock in which the smart money has always been long; and are spooky Space Aliens monitoring your every move??

The extent of the shorts making money in Zitel is basically dumb luck. You run a few sorts to find inverse correlations between price and financials. Then to justify the position you argue against the story. Like putting the cart before the horse

Well, although I admit not to know much about Zitel, rumor says it is a moron-"investor" type of stock, you know, much like the bb (flea) stock market kind of thing....

Please see: #reply-5325546

Now then, a couple of comments. First....

If you think that the "shorts", (I assume you are one of those who think that shorts are part of a world wide conspiracy, in cahoots with evil m/m etc., etc.), are the reason for the tragedy of this stock, (I have taken a look at modest 100 day chart of the thing, and frankly it only confirms that it belongs to one of those flea-stocks....) Then....

Why don't you join the shorts?!! I mean luck or not, you are here to make money, no Panchito ? and if a short position does it, well then... unless of course you like to be some kind of martyr or something along those lines, maybe you like to contribute to the retirement fund of those "evil" shorters.... yes?

Second.....

By the way, Neanderthals are us with a lot of inbreeding resulting in arthritis and rickets which is a vitamin D deficiency. See the book of Job which was written at the close of the only ice age 2200-2000~ BCE. Also, the Theory of Evolution is a direct violation of The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics; everything breaksdown and decays and information is not created spontaneously.

Is that a passage from an unknown piece by Willie Shakespeare? or did you just made that up ? I guess you must have made it up as the theory of evolution was postulated at a later time than Willie, not to mention the Vitamin D stuff, seems to be more along the lines of "modern Homo-Sapiens". (or Maybe "Homo-[Viagra]-Erectus")

Then again, would it be possible that.... The Theory of Evolution was postulated much earlier, (along with other knowledge), yet in the eternal wisdom of the religious brigades, you know the Armies of J.C. and their cronies, such as the Inquisition and the like,(as in the un-evolved Cro-Magnon ancestors of the KKK, and all the new Jesus-wackos tribes that roam around in the wilds of today's world), burned all the books that contained such theory at around the Thirteen Century ?? Do you think that's possible ?

Personally, I do not doubt it, as those "kind" preachers of the absurd seemed they were (are) capable of such deeds.

As to the relationship of Evolution and Thermodynamics..... wow, that really sounds deep indeed, as in deep in the cacarazzi, coming out of your gazziga piper.

But hey! what the hell do I know, I am a mere peon that knows naught about nada....

Because of that, I have to have the assistance of others from time to time much brighter minds than mine, to better explain what I think of your comment above.... Besides I said I only had a couple of comments, but that's me, many others had this to say about your ideas:

Enjoy the following:

"It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man."

"It was morality that burned the books of the ancient sages, and morality that halted the free inquiry of the Golden Age and substituted for it the credulous imbecility of the Age of Faith. It was a fixed moral code and a fixed theology which robbed the human race of a thousand years by wasting them upon alchemy, heretic-burning, witchcraft and sacerdotalism."


"I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind--that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to
clear and honest thinking."

"The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails."

"Shave a gorilla and it would be almost impossible, at twenty paces, to distinguish him from a heavyweight champion of the world. Skin a chimpanzee, and it would take an autopsy to prove he was not a theologian."


All of the above, while I would wish to say I was the author, I am afraid I can not say so, it was Henry Louis Mencken who wrote the above..... However, I agree wholeheartedly with such thoughts.

Lastly, as for your idea of time read this:

Consider the six days of Genesis as a figure of speech for what has in fact been 4 billion years. On this scale, one day equals something like six hundred and sixty-six million years, and thus, all day Monday and until Tuesday noon, creation was busy getting the world going. Life began Tuesday noon, and the beautiful organic wholeness of it developed over the next four days. At 4 pm Saturday, the big reptiles came on. Five hours later, when the redwoods appeared, there were no more big reptiles. At three minutes before midnight on the last day, man appeared. At one-fourth of a second before midnight, Christ arrived. At one-fortieth of a second before midnight, the Industrial Revolution began. We are surrounded with people who think that what we have been doing for that one-fortieth of a second can go on indefinitely. They are considered normal, but they are stark raving mad.

- David Brower


Have a nice life....

Mark Stevenson's scientific breakthrough......

By applying the 2nd law of thermodynamics to a living organism, and to the evolutionary history of all living organisms, you have leapfrogged the scientific community. They only thought to apply the law to the molecular/chemical/physical makeup of our universe. They must be from Retard City.

Congratulations!
