If you're going to casually dismiss twenty years of funded research on the topic you asked about, then this is a self-regulating thread.

  The reductionist eventually comes to know everything about nothing (by way of distinction) - the wholist eventually comes to know nothing about everything (by way of generalization).

Again you misunderstand what I am asking for. There is no use in me asking for the color blue and you talking about the color red, then when I say, I am asking about blue, you tell me that there has been 20 years of research on red. That may be true but that is not what I am asking about.

This is an HN thread about co-evolutionary feedback loops. You can start a new thread on your topic of interest.

Multiple, independent responses to your "question" have said almost the same thing. Good luck finding different answers.

If you want to move the conversation forward in your new thread, you can offer evidence of a positive claim, instead of asking others to provide evidence of a negative claim.
