This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our next look at the game mechanics for Civilization V we examine the topic of Science and how to win a Science victory. This is something that has been in Civilization from the very beginning, but in Civilization V there are some changes worth addressing. Playing Civilization V, Part 7 Science In most respects this is not all that different in Civ 5. Most of the techs are the same, there is a tech tree that is pretty similar, and you need to keep up in Science for any victory condition you are seeking. You may want to just beat your enemies into submission, but if you are using Chariots while they have Tanks, you aren't going to have success. But also it is obvious that if you are going for a Science victory, you need to really focus on this. So many of these tips should be followed for any victory condition, but should be mandatory if you are going for a Science victory. The mechanics of researching technologies is that you have to accumulate a certain amount of Science to discover a new technology, but this amount goes up over time, so you have be continuously looking to increase your output of Science to keep up. for instance, one of your first Techs would be Pottery, which has a cost of 35 Science. But in your Capital city you get 3 Science from your Palace, and let's say you have a population of 2, so you are generating 5 Science per turn. That means you will research Pottery in 7 turns. But the Education tech costs 485 Science, Astronomy costs 780, Scientific Theory costs 1650, Plastics 4700, and Particle Physics 6000. These are all key techs to advance your Science to a Science Victory. So you can see that you need to be continually increasing your Science. To start with, Population=Science. You get one Science for every one point of population. That does not, however, mean that you need to have a lot of cities to get there. 4-5 well developed cities are quite sufficient, and adding more cities can cause Unhappiness problems. Since higher population itself can cause Unhappiness there is no good reason to add to the problem. Buildings The next boost you can give to Science is by building city improvements. The first, which comes early in the game, is the Library, which is available once you research Writing. A Library boosts the Science output of a city by one Science for every two citizens (roughly a 50% boost, rounded down), so building those early pays off. Because advancing through the tech tree is a process of accumulating Science, the earlier you can get these boosts the better. The other population-based boost is the Public School (available when you research Scientific Theory), which also boosts Science by one for every two citizens, and also offers a Specialist slot for a Science Specialist. And since more population means more Science, the Granary (available when you research Pottery) is a good building because it helps to grow your population. There is one other building worth mentioning which is the Observatory (available when you discover Astronomy). It doesn't depend on population, but on location. You have to have a city that is located directly next to a Mountain to build this, but it adds 50% to the Science output of the city. Mountains are otherwise useless (unless you are the Incas), but if you want a Science boost and happen to see good location (the ideal spot is an isolated mountain that is not part of a mountain range so you don't lose farming and mining production) this can be great boost. Scientist Specialists You can at a certain point take some of your citizens out of the farming and mining and turn them into Specialists, but you have to have a slot for them, and those slots come in buildings as well. We've already mentioned Public Schools providing one slot. Universities (available when you discover Education) provide 2 slots, as well as boosting the city output of Science by 33%. The other Science building, which comes late in the game, is the Research Lab (available when you discover Plastics) which adds another Specialist slot, plus 4 Science, and then adds 50% to the Science Output of the city. It comes too late to help much in most of the Tech Tree, but is essential to research the Space techs, which are very expensive. Wonders The first one to try for is the Great Library. It gives you a free Library in the city, +3 Science per turn, and a free tech. Use the free tech to get an expensive tech like Philosophy. Oracle provides 1 Great Person Point per turn towards a Great Scientist. Hanging Gardens provides +6 Food per turn (boosting your population), and a free Garden which boosts your Great Person Points by 25%. Leaning Tower of Pisa increases your Great Person Points by 25% in all cities, plus a free Great Person of your choice when you build it. Porcelain Tower gives you +50% from Research Agreements, plus a free Great Scientist. and Hubble Space Telescope provides two Great Scientists, a free Spaceship Factory in the city where it was built, and +25% production for spaceship parts. All of the above are World Wonders, which means you are in competition with other players to build them, and only one player can be successful in each case, so you won't get them all. You can sometimes rush a World Wonder by “chopping”, i.e. using your workers to cut down Forests for added production, but you need to have high production cities to build Wonders in general. There is one National Wonder to focus on, though, the National College. Every player can build their own version of any National Wonder. The National College can be built only when you have a Library in every one of your cities. Your strategy should be to build it as soon as possible, so don't build more than 3-4 cities before you get to this. It gives you +3 Science, plus an increase of 50% in the Science output of the city you build it in. Great Scientists As you work on your Science you will accumulate Great Person Points towards getting a Great Scientist. Some wonder produce Great Person Points, and all of your Science Specialists produce Great Person Points as well. As these add up you will suddenly see a Great Scientist appear. In the early game, the best thing to do is use this Great Scientist to build an Academy. Move the GS to any tile within your city and create the Academy there. It will yield at least +8 Science, bu there are also modifiers that can add to that. The alternative which is better later in the game is to use the Great Scientist to get a free Tech discovery. The reason is that early in the game that +8 Science is very significant, and it can accumulate over time. Combine that with things like an Observatory and a University that increase the city output and it can add up nicely over time. But by perhaps the Medieval Era, and certainly the Renaissance Era, you start running out of time for that accumulation. Meanwhile, the techs have gotten so expensive that a free Tech is the better option. Research Agreements These become available once you research Education. You have to have a Declaration of Friendship with the other player to create one. You each put a certain amount of gold into the pot to fund the research, and after a period of time (usually 30 turns) you each get an amount of Science from it. The way it is calculated is based on the partner that produced the least amount of Science during the agreement. From a science standpoint if you are ahead in Science it probably won't benefit you to enter into the agreement. But it does build your relationship with the other player so I wouldn't avoid them altogether. If you are behind in Science it can help you, of course. Policies and Ideologies Given that you should probably be building tall (4-5 cities) instead of wide (8-12 cities), it makes sense to start out with Tradition instead of Liberty. But once you get to the Renaissance you will want to enable the Rationalism tree to maximize your Science. When you get to Ideologies, you have a choice to make. Ignore Autocracy as that is not a Science-oriented choice. If you have 3-5 cities, Freedom is the best Ideology because Specialists require less food (Civil Society), and have reduced Unhappiness (Universal Suffrage). With a wide strategy (more than 5 cities) Order starts to look better. Getting Worker's Faculties will give +25% Science from every Factory. Exploration and Techs Exploration is generally a good idea for a variety of reasons, but one to focus on here is the effect of meeting other players. In the first place, if you find other players who have researched techs you do not yet have, you can trade for them. You do this whenever possible. Remember, the other players will all be trading with each other anyway, so if you don't participate you will simply fall behind. If you have a nice tech and can trade it to just two other players, you will jump up two techs along the tech tree, and that can be huge. If you hold onto it as a secret, some other player will research it, and they will trade it and get that boost instead. So trade whenever you can. Another advantage is that when you discover that another player has a tech you don't have yet, your cost to research it goes down. Trade This is the next Science boost we will cover. when you set up a trade route with either another player or a City-State, one of the benefits can be an increase to your Science. The main benefit of trade routes is money, at least the way I play, so I will always start by looking for the best addition to my Treasury, but if I can choose between equivalent monetary rewards but one trade route offers more Science I might prefer that if I am going for a Science victory. Choosing an Empire There are many Empires you can play, and some of them are oriented to a Science victory. The two obvious choices are Babylon and Korea. Babylon gets a free Great Scientist when you discover Writing, which is very early, so you should use it to put down an Academy. And it earns Great Scientists 50% faster. Korea's advantage comes from +2 Science from all specialists and from all Great Person tile improvements, plus you get a tech boost each time a Science building or wonder is built in the Capital. Of course, you can win a Science victory with any Empire if you are careful about leveraging your Empire's strengths. For example, Venice and Portugal can rake in the gold in huge amounts, and you can buy a lot of stuff that way. Or with the Celts you generate a ton of Faith, and that can be used to buy buildings and Great Scientists with the right Social Policies. Conclusion This is just a quick overview of the Science path, and there is always more to learn.

For over a century, biology has been filtered through the lens of Darwinian evolution—random mutations, natural selection, and survival of the fittest. But what if that framework is fundamentally flawed? Join Eric Hovind and Dr. Randy Guliuzza, President of the Institute for Creation Research, to explore a revolutionary theory of biological design that goes beyond evolution. Discover how organisms are not passive products of their environment but active, engineered systems—equipped with built-in control mechanisms that allow them to intelligently respond and adapt to change. Dr. Guliuzza is introducing a scientific model that's reshaping how we interpret biology, conduct experiments, and set the research agenda for the next generation of creation scientists. This isn't just a critique of evolution—it's the blueprint for a better way forward.   Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/beyond-evolution-a-scientific-theory-built-on-real-biological-design-creation-today-show-436/  Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.

Eifrige Hörer des Podcasts werden bemerken, dass es bereits eine Episode zum Thema gab, nämlich Episode 10 mit dem Titel »Komplizierte Komplexität« aus dem Jahr 2019. Es lohnt sich auch, diese nochmals nachzuhören, aber nach fünf Jahren ist es an der Zeit, hier ein Update zu machen. Ganz besonders auch deshalb, weil ich wieder einen hervorragenden Gesprächspartner zum Thema virtuell einladen durfte, Dr. Marco Wehr. Dr. Marco Wehr ist Physiker und promovierter Wissenschaftstheoretiker. Als vielfach ausgezeichneter Autor und Redner beschäftigt er sich mit Fragen der Vorhersehbarkeit, der Rolle des Körpers für das Denken und der Beziehung von Gehirn und Computer. Marco Wehr ist Gründer und Leiter des Philosophischen Labors in Tübingen. Sein neues Buch »Komplexe neue Welt« ist natürlich eine der Grundlagen für dieses Gespräch. Es ist unlängst zum Wissensbuch des Jahres 2024 vorgeschlagen worden. Link zum Buch natürlich wie immer in den Shownotes. Marco beschäftigt sich auch mit der Frage der Modellierung, und sein aktuelles Vortrags-Format für 2025 heißt folgerichtig: »Die Macht mathematischer Modelle«. Wir beginnen mit der Frage, was der Unterschied zwischen komplexen und komplizierten Systemen oder Fragestellungen ist, zumal diese beiden Begriffe umgangssprachlich oft synonym verwendet werden. Was kann man in dieser Hinsicht von Mandelbrot-Fraktalen lernen? Welche Systeme der Welt sind irreduzibel? “Can one predict what will happen? No, there's what I call computational irreducibility: in effect the passage of time corresponds to an irreducible computation that we have to run to know how it will turn out.”, Stephen Wolfram Wie kann man feststellen, ob man ein kompliziertes oder komplexes Problem vor sich hat? Was sind »Inseln der Propheten«? Gibt es eine kognitive Täuschung in den Naturwissenschaften? Der US-amerikanische Wissenschaftsforscher John Ioannidis hält Menschen (und besonders auch Wissenschafter), die glauben, zu viel zu wissen, für eine große Gefahr. Schon der bedeutende Philosoph des 20. Jahrhunderts, Karl Popper, hat dies sehr deutlich ausgedrückt: »Jeder Intellektuelle hat eine ganz spezielle Verantwortung. Er hat das Privileg und die Gelegenheit, zu studieren. Dafür schuldet er es seinen Mitmenschen (oder der Gesellschaft), die Erkenntnisse seines Studiums in der einfachsten und klarsten und bescheidensten Form darzustellen. Das Schlimmste – eine Sünde gegen den heiligen Geist – ist, wenn die Intellektuellen es versuchen, sich ihren Mitmenschen gegenüber als große Propheten aufzuspielen und sie mit orakelnden Philosophien zu beeindrucken. Wer's nicht einfach und klar sagen kann, der soll schweigen und weiterarbeiten, bis er's klar sagen kann.«  Dann sprechen wir über den Laplacesche Dämon und was man von ihm über die Welt und die Entstehung der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung lernen kann?  Wie hat Urbain Le Verrier den Neptun vorhergesagt?  »Ich möchte, dass man das, was man weiß, und das, was man nicht weiß, deutlich voneinander unterscheidet.« Wie erkennt man einen Experten und wer repräsentiert Wissenschaft? Was sind Rückkopplung und Resonanz und warum ist es so entscheidend, diese Phänomene in komplexen Systemen zu verstehen? Wo sind die Grenzen eines Modells? Gibt es eine saubere Trennung zwischen Beobachter und Modell? Was sind Signaturen komplexer oder chaotischer Systeme? Begehen wir in der heutigen wissenschaftlichen Praxis zu häufig den Fehler »im Licht zu suchen«, statt dort, wo es sinnvoll wäre — besonders in den Bereichen, die man im weiteren Sinne als Data-Science bezeichnet? Man kann versuchen, die Welt zu verstehen, oder die lösbaren Probleme der Welt herauszupicken und daraus falsche Schlüsse über die Welt zu ziehen. Was ist die stoische Landkarte, wie kann und diese weiterhelfen? Hypothese ist immer vor der Empirie und damit bekommen begründete Vorannahmen eine wichtige Rolle im wissenschaftlichen Prozess.  Dazu kommt, dass es nie nur ein Modell gibt, das zu bestimmten Daten »passt«, dies wird auch als Duhem-Quine Hypothese bezeichnet. Was bedeutet dies am Beispiel der Klimamodellierung oder Wirtschaftsmodellen? Kann man die Inseln des Wissens von den Inseln des Unwissens unterscheiden? Welche Rolle spielen Vulkane und andere Naturkatastrophen? Warum ist die Energiewende in Deutschland schiefgegangen? »Am deutschen Wesen soll die Welt genesen...« Die Welt lernt in der Tat von Deutschland, aber wohl eher am Versagen Deutschlands. Das mag gut für die Welt sein, ist aber schlecht für Deutschland. Wie ist das dazu gekommen? Was sind »intellektuelle Insulaner«? Was sind Komplexitätsfallen – natürliche vs. künstliche — heute haben wir es mit beiden zu tun und einer Mischung/Interaktion von beiden? Noch kritischer sind hybride Komplexitätsfallen oder Komplexitätsmonster — wie kommen diese zustande? Was versteht man unter emergenten Effekten? Was sind existenzielle Risiken, und warum ist ein Fokus auf »Klima« kontraproduktiv — Carrington-Event als Beispiel. “There are no solutions, only tradeoffs”, Thomas Sowell Wie gehen wir als Individuen mit radikaler Unsicherheit in komplexen Systemen um? »We control nothing, but we influence everything«, Brian Klaas Was ist die richtige Balance zwischen Sicherheit und Unsicherheit? Ist diese erreichbar? »Die meisten Menschen wollen nicht in einer total vorhersagbaren Welt leben, auch wenn sie das behaupten.« Wie kommen wir als Gesellschaft wieder aus den zahlreichen schweren Problemen heraus, in denen wir uns in den letzten Jahren verstrickt haben? Offene Diskussion scheint das wesentlichste zu sein. Kontroverse steht im Zentrum von Wissenschaft und daraus folgt offener und kritischer gesellschaftlicher Diskurs.  Referenzen Andere Episoden Episode 107: How to Organise Complex Societies?

Dr. Tom Cowan, co-author of "The Contagion Myth,” joins us as we ask questions such as "Do viruses really exist?" and if so, how do we know and what scientific proof are we to believe? Dr. Cowan was a practicing medical doctor until his interests took him into alternative medicine where he now stands with an ever-growing number of doctors around the world who have woken up to some scientific theories that don't appear all that scientific.

Slavery in the U.S. Analyzed by a Pulitzer Prize-Winning Lawyer and Historian (Ed Larson)

New attention from historians and journalists is raising pointed questions about the founding period: was the American revolution waged to preserve slavery, and was the Constitution a pact with slavery or a landmark in the antislavery movement? We have long needed a history of the founding that fully includes Black Americans in the Revolutionary protests, the war, and the debates over slavery and freedom that followed. We now have that history in Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Edward J. Larson's insightful synthesis of the founding. Throughout Larson's brilliant history, it is the voices of Black Americans that prove the most convincing of all on the urgency of liberty. Shermer and Larson discuss: Was America founded in 1619 or 1776? • What is/was an “American”? • Founding Fathers attitudes toward slavery • What was the justification of slavery? • constitutional convention and slavery compromises • U.S. Constitution and slavery • Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments • Atlantic slave trade • Fugitive Slave Act and Clause • Native Americans • monogenism vs. polygenism • slavery abolition • Quakers push for abolition • Three-fifths Compromise • The Dread Scott Decision and the Civil War • Abraham Lincoln and his rational argument for ending slavery • the future of race relations in America. Edward J. Larson is the author of many acclaimed works in American history, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning history of the Scopes Trial, Summer for the Gods. He also authored Franklin and Washington: The Founding Partnership, The Return of George Washington 1783-1789, A Magnificent Catastrophe: The Tumultuous Election of 1800—America's First Presidential Campaign, An Empire of Ice: Scott, Shackleton, and the Heroic Age of Antarctic Science, To the Edges of the Earth: 1909, the Race for the Three Poles, and the Climax of the Age of Exploration, and the textbook Evolution: The Remarkable History of a Scientific Theory. He is University Professor of History and Hugh and Hazel Darling Chair in Law at Pepperdine University.

Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being by Neil Theise https://amzn.to/3XLYTqa An electrifying introduction to complexity theory, the science of how complex systems behave, that explains the interconnectedness of all things and that Deepak Chopra says, “will change the way you understand yourself and the universe.” Nothing in the universe is more complex than life. Throughout the skies, in oceans, and across lands, life is endlessly on the move. In its myriad forms—from cells to human beings, social structures, and ecosystems--life is open-ended, evolving, unpredictable, yet adaptive and self-sustaining. Complexity theory addresses the mysteries that animate science, philosophy, and metaphysics: how this teeming array of existence, from the infinitesimal to the infinite, is in fact a seamless living whole and what our place, as conscious beings, is within it. Physician, scientist, and philosopher Neil Theise makes accessible this “theory of being,” one of the pillars of modern science, and its holistic view of human existence. He notes the surprising underlying connections within a universe that is itself one vast complex system—between ant colonies and the growth of forests, cancer and economic bubbles, murmurations of starlings and crowds walking down the street. The implications of complexity theory are profound, providing insight into everything from the permeable boundaries of our bodies to the nature of consciousness. Notes on Complexity is an invitation to trade our limited, individualistic view for the expansive perspective of a universe that is dynamic, cohesive, and alive—a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Theise takes us to the exhilarating frontiers of human knowledge and in the process restores wonder and meaning to our experience of the everyday.

Can empirical observation lead us to the truth?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesFrom Newton to Darwin, Curie to Einstein, science has been built on empirical observation. Now the very idea of neutral observation is under threat. In a postmodern world it is claimed all observation is perspectival, everything we see influenced by what we already think. The founder of quantum mechanics, Heisenberg went further arguing that observing reality was not even possible. Are we at sea in a world of competing models? Or is it time to reassert the value of empirical observation, supported perhaps by machine learning and big data, as a means of choosing between incompatible theories?Steve Fuller is an academic studying science and technology.

This week, we're diving into the Multiverse! But not the one Marvel tells you about. We're looking at actual Multiverse theory, how it came to be, and why it could explain many parts of our reality! Did you know some scientists believe that our universe is connected to an infinite amount of other universes? Did you also know that both the thing that causes this theory, and is explained by this theory is right around us? Multiverse theory provides unlimited possibilities - some universes abundant with life (much more than ours is known to be right now), and others where matter can't even exist. It's unlimited possibilities, and there's a lot to talk about!The same element that influences multiverse theory also plays a pivotal role in another scientific theory - something we're all more familiar with thanks to the newest Marvel movies. We're talking about String Theory! It's the idea that while we can only perceive four dimensions (length, width, depth, and time), there may be as many as 6 more dimensions that we can't perceive. Views of our reality with limitless other possibilities, including parallel realities with subtle decision-making difference throughout that influence different outcomes. Or, entirely alternate realities with completely different conclusions. And, realities and perceptions entirely devoid of the passage of time. Again, the possibilities are endless.So, how did this theory come to be? It helps explain/is somewhat caused by quantum physics. These are things that take place on a sub-molecular level, and may be influencing the world and universe around us in ways we can't even fathom. This leads into the theory that these unrealized dimensions are either so big, or so small that we can't perceive them. It's mind-bending, awe-inspiring, and leads to several unique theories of our own!

The word “Gaia”  re-emerged in the 1960’s as a metaphor describing the inter relationship between all life on Earth. Trevor begins by describing the origins of the word “Gaia” and the role of James Lovelock in presenting the Earth as a self regulated holistic system. He then talks about the spirituality associated with the idea of Gaia and its interpretation through scientific hypothesis.  The spirituality of Gaia is rooted in pre-history with modern Gaia grounded in scientific theory. Humanity is required to reconnect and honour a deep connection with all life in order that consciousness might evolve. The idea of Gaia provides a unifying template through which we can work to bring about changes harmonious to both the biotic and abiotic environments  on planet Earth combining both technology and spirituality.   The Wessex Research Group archive contains those lectures that have been digitised and are freely downloadable as a personal educational resource. https://www.wessexresearchgroup.org

Ep. 82 Why Intelligent Design Is a Scientific Theory

In the bitter debates over evolution, it is a common practice for the defenders of the orthodox Darwinian approach to argue that not only is Intelligent Design (ID) theory wrong, but it doesn't even count as a scientific theory. After all, so the orthodox defenders argue, you can't really test to see if an intelligent being created life on Earth, and so ID must be excluded from biology, period. Bob argues that this particular rhetorical move is obviously bogus, and gives two simple examples to show why. Mentioned in the Episode and Other Links of Interest: A 2007 statement from the Union of Concerned Scientists (https://ncse.ngo/union-concerned-scientists-2007) on why Intelligent Design is not a scientific theory (among other alleged problems). A pro-ID webpage (https://www.discovery.org/id/peer-review/) giving a brief description and further links. Help support (http://bobmurphyshow.com/contribute)  the Bob Murphy Show.

An Academic’s Struggle to Reconcile Jewish Heritage with Scientific Theory. Is man’s origin from an ape or from Adam? How old exactly is our world? These are a few of the issues that appear to pit modern scientific theory against traditional Jewish belief. Join us for an incredible evening with award-winning lecturer and Professor of Chemistry Dr. Binyomin Abrams as he takes us on a personal journey of self-discovery and bridges the gap between the seemingly conflicting worlds of science and Judaism. About Dr. Binyomin Abrams Dr. Binyomin Abrams is a senior Professor of Chemical Education and Theoretical Physical Chemistry at Boston University, and recipient of the 2015 Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching. His pursuit of Judaism began while working on his doctorate in Physical Chemistry at New York University. Dr. Abrams lectures extensively on the interplay of science and Judaism.

Hello fellow Spirit Nerds, we are back! This time we come bearing the extra special gift of our 1st instalment featuring all things OUIJA BOARD. Epic, we know. In this episode we'll discuss basic cleansing techniques to use on a Ouija Board if you happen to find your board on the side of the road like Allison did. Plus basic "How To's" when using a Ouija Board - including the importance of setting the mood + creating some general ambience & drama. We've got any skeptical notions covered too with some compelling evidence featuring popular scientific theories used to debunk Ouija sessions. Evidence that's convincing enough for our own resident Psychic Medium. We even include a very simple test you can perform when gauging the validity of your own session at home. Finally we cap off the episode by delving deeply into the origin story of the Ouija Board - which like the board itself, is shrouded in mystery. Did you know that the board may have even named itself after a popular woman rights activist? We bet you didn't! Tune in if you want to learn all of that & more. And as always, thank you for listening. We kind of, sort of, heart you.
