On “the true tree of life” and Higg’s particle”
Both the cladistic idea of a “true tree of life” and physicists idea of “Higg’s particle” are self-contradictions. The self-contradiction resides in that cladists and physicists first distinguish objects and kinds, and then confuse “object” and “kind”. They thus believe that the solution to all our questions resides in confusing what we distinguish.
Cladists search for the true classification of biodiversity and physicists search for the true classification of reality, and both have turned from searching it to believing in it. However, for this belief to be correct (ie, true), ”difference” has to equal “similarity”. The belief thus has to fuse “difference” and “similarity” to reach its goal. If it could indeed succeed, then it would burst as the bubble it is, but hard facts are that it can’t succeed. Never will cladists thus find their “true tree of life” or physicists find their “Higg’s particle”, because both are nothing but self-contradictions.
