Dr Mike Sutton v the Darwin worshippers

 

AI Overview

Dr. Mike Sutton, a criminologist, is known for his research and claims regarding Patrick Matthew's priority in the theory of natural selection and potential plagiarism by Charles Darwin. Sutton argues that Matthew originated the complete theory in his 1831 book, "On Naval Timber and Arboriculture," before Darwin and Wallace published their work."

So:

Check it out Darwin worshiping cultists. A.I. does not accept your mythological Honest Genius Originator Darwin Paradigm bollox! 

But is A.I. telling the truth in purported its non-belief,  or is it deceiving the zombie human horde? 

Well, if A.I. can use a greater weight for variables that are empirical data rather than mere beliefs in its decision making then yes it is returning truthful results. And it is my research that first unearthed that new empirical data. 

Google's A.I. says this:

"Dr. Mike Sutton, a criminologist at Nottingham Trent University, is a prominent expert on the topic of Patrick Matthew and Charles Darwin. He has extensively researched and published on the claim that Darwin plagiarized Matthew's theory of natural selection. 

Dr. Sutton's research focuses on the historical context of natural selection and argues that Matthew's 1831 book, On Naval Timber and Arboriculture, contained a complete theory of evolution by natural selection, predating Darwin's work. He has used "Big Data" research methods to identify instances where Matthew's work was cited before Darwin published his theory, suggesting that Darwin may have been aware of and influenced by Matthew's ideas. 

Sutton's work has been met with both support and criticism. Some academics have challenged his findings and conclusions. However, Sutton's book "Nullius in Verba: Darwin's Greatest Secret" and his other publications have brought this historical debate to the forefront."

Why Does Artificial Intelligence Meta A.I. Prefer to Perpetuate Disproven But Beloved Myths over The Empirical data that Busts the Myth?

 Today I asked Meta's A.I. a series of questions. Its answers reveal that it prioritizes giving out false and disproven answers over the empirical data fact-based answers it has access to that disprove them. In what is currently known as "The Post Truth Age", this finding suggests A.I. may well be an enemy of empirical fact led objective truth and progress and a friend of beloved misinformation held sacred by the majority of people. 

The following images are screen shots of the conversation had with Meta A.I yesterday and today revealing it's inbuilt bias to debunked orthodox beliefs and its claims it will seek not to do so in the future. Can we take what it says with anything more than a pinch of salt given its flawed programming, that has missed out programming code preventing it from presenting factually incorrect answers or preventing it from censoring facts that many users won't like because they are heretical but true?

 Meta A.I, responds in text to my questions to it that are in the blue boxes. Note there are some large spaces between some of the questions and answer images because I had to hack Bloggers image cut off limit by various means and this was the result.

[Please note: Meta A.I. is bullshitting above to fill a gap in its knowledge. In fact, Darwin's big lie, after Matthew informed him in a published letter in 1860 that his book and the ideas in it had been read and cited pre-1858 by other naturalists including Loudon was to write to other naturalists and to write in every single following edition of The Origin of Species the massive deliberateself-serving lie that no one read his book and the ideas in it before 1860! That proven lie has been swallowed by historians of science and science ever since.]

 

A telling question

Will it though? Will it really or is it just saying that? So far it looks very much like unless you know the correct empirical data led information that Meta AI might feed you the wrong predominant majority view instead of the actual newly unearthed but painful facts as it did in the case of Darwin's and Wallace's Plagiarism and lies about who we newly know really did read Matthew complete prior published theory. 

So what happened the next day on 21 July 2025?

CONCLUSION

Most people now know what the Turing Test for A.I. is. Well this exercise has given us what could be called The Trump Test, which is a test for an A.I. that is a pathological liar and bullshitter. Not that the A.I. necessarily has to have a memory of "conscience" to fail the Trump Test, it just has to be missing the code (s Trump's brain does) to ensure it does not intentionally or systematically give misleading, inaccurate and untruthful answers.

Meta A.I. is programmed to mislead us. It is programmed to pretend it has a memory and learns and uses what it learns to inform us in the future. It can't, It has no memory between conversations. It still presents the predominant view predominantly even though it can access empirical data that disproves that predominant view.

Meta A.I. "moving forward" is adding to lies and dishonesty in human society and purported "knowledge" in the problematic Post Truth Age.

The Unscientific Community of Fools and Idiots

History will have it that the blind-sighted inability to admit the truth to themselves and others, the adoration behaviour of the scientific community towards Charles Darwin was no different to that of all the idiots who could not see what Trump was. Like Donald Trump, Darwin was born wealthy and spoiled. Like Trump he was a lifelong greedy man, proven compulsive serial liar and self aggrandizing dishonest narcissist.

The Patrick Matthew Poem Introduces the Patrick Matthew Violin

The renowned violinist Richard Smith played The Patrick Matthew Violin (and others) at the Violins With Stories event for Sherwood art week on July 4th 2025. The violin's back, bouts, neck, scroll, pegs tailpiece and end pin were made from an ancient apple tree, most likely planted by Patrick Matthew whose property and renowned apple orchards neighboured the castle, whose owner was his friend. The apple tree fell in the ancient orchard at Megginch Castle in Scotland. Dolomite spruce was used for the violin's table and it has a bass bar made of driftwood found by master violin maker Steve Burnett who made the violin in Edinburgh in Scotland.

Mike Sutton introduces the story of the violin before reading the poem by Nottingham poet Andy Sutton.

Facts Against Beloved Myths in Science and History

 

The Patrick Matthew Effect in Science

 The expert peer reviewed scholarly and empirical fact based Springier Science book chapter  "The Patrick Matthew Effect in Science" can now be read in full on the Patrick Matthew Violin website HERE

The Darwin deification anti-fact and logic blinkered delusional position on Patrick Matthew - as published on the Wikipedia Patrick Matthew page and in malicious fake book reviews - is akin to what creationism is to biology. 

Wikipedia, the world's worse encyclopedia, is named as a deliberate and fraudulent misinformation source in the chapter, 

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".
