Scorched and Salted reviews The Mathematics of Evolution:
Years ago, I stumbled onto the blog Vox Popoli by Vox Day. I don’t remember what led me there. I do remember the feeling of not knowing what I was looking at.
It was refreshing.
A break from the incoherent, exhausting noise of the mainstream.
There was an internal cohesion to his writing — an insistence on definitions, on first principles, on following arguments to their conclusion.
Not playing fast and loose with language and logic.
What really puzzled me came later, when I tried spreading the word.
I tried sharing his work — articles, books, videos — expecting others to recognize its merit as I had.
Many dismissed him outright.
Some refused to engage with the material and instead labelled him:
Bigot.
Racist.
Homophobe.I waited for the showering of compliments to end — to see if the arguments would ever be addressed.
I’m still waiting…
In his 1995 book Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, Daniel Dennett describes the concept of evolution by natural selection as a universal acid — corrosive through everything it touches, from the cell to consciousness and everything in between.
Cool story, bro.
Vox just slid through with a cosmos-worth of base and dumped it from great heights over that Darwinian poppycock. (Pause)
But to say Day neutralizes Darwinism is an understatement.
The implications of Probability Zero and The Frozen Gene are devastating to mainstream conventional “Science” incorporated.
These books scorch and salt the epistemic and ontological grounding of secularists, materialists, and champions of Enlightenment values.
What Probability Zero and The Frozen Gene do is more akin to a mercy killing.
A precise numerical execution.
Read them.
Read the whole thing there. Ironically, the most significant aspect of those two books may not be the way in which they have demolished everything from natural selection as the origin of the species to neutral theory, but rather, the way that the way the evolutionary defenders reacted to the arguments contained in them led directly to the development of the triveritan method of investigating logical, mathematical, and scientific claims more rigorously than any previous epistemological method customarily permits.
