what is this recent bullshit about "emergent order" and "self-organizing processes"

as if there wasn't order already present in existence but that was and is beyond the sensory, perceptual, cognitive and motor-receptive capabilities of lowly human organisms

what "scientists" label as "emergent" is merely a glib way of stating that "we as scientists just don't know how it came around until it got detected accidentally by us"

why are scientists such wimps when it comes to admitting situations where they just don't know what the fuck is going on?

Picture reminds me of a Monet painting. Hair in the wind or something.

Saying that something displays emergent behaviour isn't saying we don't know how it started. Such behaviour can often be characterized quantitavely to some extent (e.g. studies of cellular automata). What's usually interesting is how a system evolves and what conditions are necessary for it to do so, and how much small tweaks to the system change its behaviour.

Every scientist, by virtue of being a scientist in the first place, admits that he doesn't know what's going on. But he's damn well going to try to find out.

its another example of spontaneous generation
shit just pops up from no where
