The Patrick Matthew Violin: An incredible story of great irony

 As an academic, it's not really my job or duty  to ensure that bone headed empirical data evidenced fact deniers stop fact denying what has been newly unearthed about Darwin's lies and plagiary. My duty was to find out a truthful fact led explanation for the otherwise miraculous dual virgin brained replications of Matthew's prior published theory and story that nobody read Matthew's 1831 theory before 1858 and 1859 when Darwin and Wallace replicated it. I did that. The facts prove Darwin a serial lying plagiarist. Wallace also. The facts, they pretend don't exist by failing to acknowledge them in ludicrously fake book reviews and corrupt articles,  prove that Darwin adoration superfans are currently writing fake reviews. Cole is just one culprit of such disgraceful unscientific behaviour. Does he magically think he is going to get away with that complete dishonest nonsense? I would not want such behaviour to be my legacy for all eternity. But now it is his (here)

 Maybe getting the facts into art where art now informs science that it needs to be less artistic and more scientific is the way forward?

We have some songs and poems to accompany the Patrick Matthew Violin (here). I'm hoping others in the arts and in science and history will become interested in this most ironic way forward. On the 4th of July this year the violin and its story is part of a "Violins with Stories" event held in Sherwood, Nottinghamshire.

What are academics supposed to do about lies, bullshit and about truth?

 Our universities have been taken over by bullshit. HERE

Academics are supposed to have a duty to pursue the beauty of truth and expose the ugliness of lies.

It matters not how beautiful the the theory is that Darwin and Wallace had independent conceptions of Patrick Matthew's prior published theory, It matters not how convenient the newly created tale that Darwin and Matthew, Wallace and "Royal Society Darwin Medal" winners Ernst Mayer and Sir Gavin de Beer were wrong to write that Matthew's theory is essentially the same as that replicated by Darwin and Wallace. If the theory and the tale and don't fit the data then they are wrong. And they most certainly don't fit the empirical independently verifiable new found data (Sutton 2022). 

Today our universities prefer mere blind belief in the romance and the lies over the truth. Why? Because they have adopted the practices of business, and one of the first essential rules of a successful business is to lie (here) and tell stories to sell products to make profits and to make money making transactional deals. 

What has Elon Musk got to do with the story of Patrick Matthew and Charles Darwin?

 At the time of writing, Elon Must now owns the social media platform Twitter and has re-named it X. Musk is using the platform to facilitate and enable the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and prolific serial liar and misinformation spreader Donald Trump. Musk is a member of the Royal Society of London (here). Musk is a proven self-interested serial liar and proven prolific spreader of misinformation and absolute falsehoods (here). Why would the Royal Society not kick him out? That is the telling question. 

Why is it wrong to simply "believe in" the truth about anything. 

Including ludicrous credulous religious belief that questioning given articles of faith is "sinful" and so must be avoided to reach some heavenly person-promised place after death, it is not sensible to simply believe in anything at all as a fact. This is because, religion aside, we tend to think that our beliefs about what is true are based on facts. However, the danger is that our mere beliefs about what is true may not be based on facts at all. We like to think that facts lead to beliefs, but research into human bias repeatedly shows us that it is beliefs that influence how we approach and interpret facts. And so what happens is that our beliefs about what is true can be based entirely on lies, ignorance and misinformation. In the story of Charles Darwin, Alfred Wallace and Patrick Matthew, many so called "scientists" are not seeing that the independently verifiable empirical data led facts show us what is true in this story, because they are invested in something else. And that something else is their beliefs created by the misinformation spread by The Royal Society of London and the Linnean Society about Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace being honest genius independent discovers of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Showing Darwinists the newly discovered facts that their namesake was in fact a lying plagiarist of the great unifying theory of biology does not help because they want to interpret that evidence entirely through the prism of what they already merely believe. And so what many of them are engaging in is not a cynical form of lying, but mere self-deception. Others are perhaps knowingly lying to protect their own Darwin invested reputations and perhaps the reputations of our institutions of science.

The newly discovered, and some long ago known, independently verifiable empirical data about who read and cited Patrick Matthew's (1831) published theory of the natural process of selection, and the proven knowing lies Darwin told to cover that up is being suppressed by lies and misinformation spread by the so-called "Darwin Industry".

Connections between Donald Trump and Charles Darwin: An explanation by way of analogies

 
Stupid is Stupid Does: Charles Darwin was the World's Greatest Con Man

Patrick Matthew (1831) used an analogy of differences between artificial selection and natural selection as a key explanatory device for the first published origination of the complete theory of macro-evolution by the natural process of selection. That was so important, the plagiarist Charles Darwin replicated it at the very start of  his theory stealing book The Origin of Species (1859).

Furthermore, as it has long been said that "An artist borrows but a great artist steals" if that reasoning is to be followed then Darwin was a great con artist because he is 100% proven to have knowingly lied when he wrote that no single person had read Matthew's 1831 book before he and Wallace replicated the bombshell theory in it. and claimed to have done so independently of Matthew's influence. 

Analogously, Donald Trump's two times election as US President  is proof enough of the saying that  "A conman does not have to be smart if his victims are stupid." In light of the empirical fact dodging (and so effectively) "fake" book reviews of Science Fraud, and blog, Wikipedia and academic biology journal shenanigans going on by fact denial Darwin fanatics (see a real science book chapter exposing this behaviour here archived here) those still believing in and promoting the Victorian Darwin Myth are stupid too. And so we see, yet again, that it's true: "stupid is stupid does".

Darwinism Holidaying from Proper history is Over: Proper history about independently verifiable facts, not about lies and using them to manipulate others

 Patrick Matthew originated and then had published the first full explanation of macro evolution by the process of natural selection in his book "On Naval Timber and Arboriculture" (1831) and followed it up with his second book "Emigration Fields" (1839) in order to make the case for conquest and Anglo Saxon colonization of other people's lands by what he thought represented the best genetic and moral variety of human beings. Later Matthew would write to Darwin a confession of his selfishness and repentance for so doing. However, Darwin the  plagiarist, serial liar and apex propagandist, who stole Matthew's theory, did no such thing. His sole aim was personal fame and he manipulated others to assist him in that endeavor by lying about Matthew's (1831) book and who he knew read it before he and Wallace copied the bombshell ideas in it and then claimed to have originated them independently of Matthew's prior publications.

I don't full agree with Marx's quote above, that I edited with the text "[Proper]".

 In my more considered opinion: 

"Proper history is not the same as any individual manipulating, exploiting the vulnerable and otherwise using people to achieve their own ends for propaganda and myth making. Proper history results from accurately data gathering, recording and objectively chronicling the actions of people and their various results, impacts and influence on the social and physical world."

In light of the new data that busts the Darwin and Wallace myth, it is time for proper historians of science (not Darwin super fans) to declare that the Darwin worshiping fanatical holiday from empirical data facts is over.
