What on earth are you talking about?! Darwin theorized that systems that are made out of MATERIAL that have the capacity to duplicate themselves sometimes don't do so perfectly and sometimes those changes enable the MATERIAL system to reproduce faster in a given MATERIAL environment than if the copying had been perfect. And General Relativity makes very very precise predictions of how the trajectory of light and any other MATERIAL thing will change when it passes near a large MATERIAL object. How are these supposed to be non-materialistic theories? > I think you already realised your mistake Bullshit. > The fact that the presence of a term on Wikipedia gives us some assurance > that it is a useful term does not imply that the absence of a term from > Wikipedia is a signal that the term is useless. > As a matter of fact it does. A language is useless if you're the only one who knows it, and Bruno's terms are used nowhere except on this list. And there is no point in inventing new acronyms for very very old ideas, for example FPI just means "I don't know"; as for UDA , well..., I still haven't found any coherent consistent non-circular explanation of what that's all about.
