Cladistics place outside of evolutionary, empirical science

Cladistics assumes that objects exist and that holophyletic groups (i.e. what it defines as clades) of objects also exist. If it means that facts are wrong, then cladistics accepts that facts are wrong.

Cladistics simply denies the trinity (orthogonality) of two consecutive patterns making up one process, instead claiming that the latter pattern is “natural”, whereas the former pattern isn’t. When their patterns clash in “the middle”, it simply denies they do.

This leads cladistics into a consistent flip-flop reasoning lacking an end. Every conclusion contradicts its own assumptions, and can also be contradicted by its opposite (i.e., by turning matters up-side-down). The puerta into it is also the soul of it. It is what Darwin called “a vain search to define the indefinable”.

This kind of phenomenon arises within every approach. It is made up of people that share the approach principally (or literally), thereby fighting both opponents, fellows in the approach and each other. They are blind elephants walking around in the glass shop towards the sound of freedom they’re hearing, not understanding the damage they cause or why they collide with each other. They are the fanatics of approaches.

The problem for the rest of us is what we shall do with them. Denying them appears impossible without denying one’s own approach. I try to peel them off from a consistent evolutionary, empirically scientific approach. I’m trying to explain that the question is not whether holo- or paraphyletic groups are “natural” groups, but the evolutionary relationships between biological species, and that we have to accept that paraphyletic groups are monophyletic groups in order to find an answer to this question. I’m trying to explain that cladistics actually is an obstacle to finding an answer to this question.

The problem for evolutionary, empirical science is that if it does not succeed to peel off cladists, cladists will instead peel off scientists from evolutionary, empirical science. The fanatics will seize power before they slaughter each other and the science. Evolutionary, empirical science thus has to peel off cladists to avoid its own destruction.
