janejellyroll, you typed, "If the method for how fire happens is in doubt, observing someone making a fire, noting their method, and applying it yourself to see if it works the same way is a type of scientific experiment." I totally agree with this! I think you are bang on and I totally love and agree with the scientific…

mph323 I think you missed this: mph323 I did reply but I think you just missed it. I hope you have a really nice day! :)

Good question. No of course not. The scientific process, put very simply, is about studies upon studies doing its best to prove and disprove test results... essentially. What a great process! The best!... but not without limitations. In my opinion other methods of learning have strengths and weaknesses too. Personally, I…

You make a lot of sense and I agree that the original post could probably be improved. I would say that I wasn't thinking in terms of, black or white', 'one or the other' at all. In fact, very early on in the thread this was brought up and I tried very, very hard to make the argument that a blended grey area was the best…
-
Very cool! Good for you! We are kind of peers through the world wide web. Keep up the good work! :)
-
Fair enough but I don't agree with your assessment of my original intent. I literally think this to myself and discuss it with friends and family. Confusion in the area seems like a real problem for people. I really have never meant to discredit science at all... ever. Not at the start of this thread or at an point in my…

Haha! Thanks for the insight. I LOVE to share that stuff and have no reason to hold back. I was just keeping from sharing that stuff about me because of the negative pressure earlier in the post. I was trying to stay on topic and not talk about my strategies as the early posts were kind of getting worked up about me trying…
-
I hear ya! Haha. You make very valid points. I have made a fairly reasonable list of potential flaws solely using science to get to an end goal. As much as I love science, use it, agree with it, benefit from it... again, not to be taken out of context, I love science and I see flaws when only applying science alone, to an…

Your question is worthy my friend. I finally got around to posting something.

Sorry janejellyroll, I thought I found and replied to everyone asking for my program details. I was only holding back because at the start of the thread I was being accused of wanting questions and I tried to clarify that I was not trying to get personal questions. I also didn't see how it was relevant and I didn't know…
-
I am sorry if I have not addressed this specific comment because I do get the point and felt it was answered in other posts. I wrote along these lines to someone else but I think it applies here: I don't need a science experiment to tell me how a fire should happen but I can watch someone make a fire, learn from it and do…
-
No, "true for me" over science is not good way to look at things. I agree with your stance that proven facts are proven facts. But, "true for me" and "true for you" and "true for someone doing well" can be a great way to learn and reach a goal. I don't need a science experiment to tell me how a fire should happen but I can…

Bullying... like in the real world this does not apply to everyone but it applies none the less. a) The original comment is a thoughtful and innocent post. I don't see any negativity there. b) Some directed questions to or about me specifically. I tried to answered them and then was belittled for making the post about me.…
-
Very quickly I did want to re-address you. I actually did like your original post. I was trying to make the point that I felt compelled to hear your common sense logic because you earned it with your post. I didn't feel the need to dismiss you because your only one person who wasn't referencing a scientific paper. I was…

No problem. What do you want to know? What would be sufficient to help with this thread? I did mention earlier that I was short on time and didn't know where to start. What do you want to know about my theories or strategy? Earlier someone accused me of wanting others to ask me about my strategies and I wanted prove that…
-
That's a fair opinion. Thanks for sharing. I would ask the athlete and be very interested in their journey from start to finish. There is probably a lot of good information to be learned there. Thanks again.

Sorry I'm falling behind again and I am sorry if it felt personal. Your making some good points... I'm sure I probably made a mistake but I can't get specific right now. I may be able to address them better but the time is getting crazy. I would say that I would value the opinions of that person in your "living room". Take…
-
No I just don't know where to start. What do you want me to type? How many sets and reps I do? I can't say a follow someone elses program to wrap it all up. Should we start a new thread and then I'll sure to be pointed out as self promotion. What is the goal here? Perhaps I can elaborate when I have more time. Hopefully it…
-
Again, I think this kind of thing is a form of discrediting and dismissing the individual when typing things like "bro" "woo" "sales pitch"... I'm not selling anything. I don't have a method to sell. I have countless theories that have been helpful for me and I think they could help a lot of people. Nothing to sell.
-
Haha! I was just reading but wasn't going to reply to any of the posts at this time. However, I did laugh when I saw yours! Well done. Duck_Puddle are you baiting me to be banned for self promotion? I can't tell you as much as I would love to. At some point I may go silent and it may just be because I slip up and someone…
-
Of course my friend. Some specifics are not allowed. I can't condense my theories onto a paragraph because there is often too much to cover and often I would be accused of self promotion, I'd be censored and banned. This post is more about a general philosophies. I mentioned this before, as open as a forum is, there are…
-
Very well said! There is a reason you have.... 14,564 comments under your belt. Perhaps I should pay more attention to what you say because you have done something earn my attention. Your not a scientist are you? You don't have to be, you think clearly. You have logical ideas. I'm not a scientist but I can tell that with…
-
Perhaps this is the issue. You possibly feel that I am trying to provide a new way to do science. I don't think that at all. I believe in taking a balanced approach to learning for an individual like me or someone else. I am talking about learning on an individual level and finding a way to cut through the noise and…
-
Fair enough. I liked your "*kitten*" comment. Funny. Again, nothing is perfect. The bodybuilder in your example is likely doing something right but again nothing is perfect. I wouldn't follow that guy either. But the other side of that is the intellectual that can't figure out why their science based approach to fitness…
-
Both are equally true. My common sense tells me that one probably doesn't apply but the other probably does. The reason I would pay attention is because I felt like you demonstrated some things that made sense to me and I wanted to learn and find out for myself.
-
Well if the debate continues in a healthy way that is a good thing. I still can't address each point because it gets out of hand with some making it personal and then the reply to the personal comment gets taken out of context etc. etc. I had to re-read the original post because it has gone so many darn directions. Haha! I…
-
Not to be too controversial here, and as a big lover, supporter and beneficiary of science, and personal results and learning from others.... perhaps the answer isn't black and white but rather it is somewhere in between. :)
