Stealing Elections, Being a

How The Other Half Thinks Consciousness
Jul 13, 2009 02:11AM Jun 18, 2009 12:30AM

I received an email from an old friend the other day for the purpose
of trying, once again, to convince me why the right is right.  The
scary part is that the story it told and the example it contained
portrays quite accurately the way a large part of our population
really do think and act.

When I wrote the last post on Twittering I didn’t expect to be back
covering social interaction issues so soon, but a recent item on NPR

Every technological advancement, however innocent it may appear
at first and benign it may seem to the masses, has its evil
underbelly that festers behind the scenes.  And though I’d be hard
pressed to find anyone under the age of thirty who agrees with
me…

Economic pundits are amazing.  They have the answer to
everything.  The day after the stock market rises over 100 points
they will recount in precise detail the logic behind the day’s
upswing and tell you the exact reason why the market was so
optimistic.  And the day after that, when the market goes down that
same 100 points plus…

Reflections on Prop 8 Shiites and Sunnis, Catholics

May 27, 2009 04:00AM
It always strikes me as funny in a “black humor” sort of way that it
is the people who most loudly and most prominently shout the
Lord’s name who act so overtly against the Lord’s word.  Take war,
for example.

Call me a goody-goody, but personally, I don’t like it when people
do nasty things to other people… like shooting them or blowing
them up or burning their houses or any number of other things that
can only be categorized as being very mean and anti-social.  Yes,
there are times when the invaders march in over the hills…

May 18, 2009 08:05PM Apr 29, 2009 09:53PM

Personal greed has not always been the driving force behind human
self interest.  There was a time, long before the modern era, long
before Capitalism and the rise of Hominum Economicus when
individuals knew that they couldn’t make it out there on their own.

Meaning and Measurement

Apr 13, 2009 05:42AM

Just over three hundred and fifty years ago René Descartes looked
around at his world and realized there was a lot that did not make
sense, especially when he applied his method of experience,
reason, and logic to the prevailing view of the day. Contrary to that
view, which called for blind and unquestioning faith in the dictums
of those in authority…

Games Of Consciousness –
Introduction
Apr 13, 2009 05:42AM

I want to share my experiments with you… my experiments in

consciousness. In one sense this should be no more difficult than
the task faced by any researcher who has studied a subject and
wishes to offer the objective results of that study to those fellow
scientists who are interested. All I need do is to explain my
methods, allow you to duplicate them in your laboratory, and let
you come to your own conclusions.
