Stuart Kauffman: Call the universe God

May 13, 2008 7:22pm

...and that other dude had some thoughts too I guess.

"I have found no better expression than "religious" for confidence in the rational nature of reality, insofar as it is accessible to human reason. Whenever this feeling is absent, science degenerates into uninspired empiricism."

Stuart Kauffman: Call the universe God

May 13, 2008 7:07pm

Speaking of that guy mentioned above...

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Rupert Sheldrake stabbed in leg at conference

'sigh'

I promise from this point forth to READ the link before making assumptions... turns out buddy who stabbed him is more an actual crazy person than a critic.

!!!SO SORRIES'!!!

Rupert Sheldrake stabbed in leg at conference

April 3, 2008 8:38pm

Very disturbing news.

I'm hoping Mr. Sheldrake's recovery goes well... his words are among those that helped in shaking loose my overly rational and skeptical mind that kept prisoner any idea of the fantastic or the unknown in this world. Wether he is right or not I don't really care, honestly... for me it's been his questions that mattered most.

Rupert has his heart in the right place, and it is hard for me to imagine why anyone, even a detractor, would want to do him harm.

I wish him and his family all the best.

Hounskull:
Thanks for the interesting links... however if you could please explain how "Space Invaders", E.A. Poe, H.P. Lovecraft , Munch's "The Scream", The Eye of Horus, Ankh, "R2 Dog Doo", Jack the Ripper, Tiffany's, Galileo Galilei and finally "Digital Piracy and How You Can Help" are, as you say, keyed to white supremacy, I would find that most fascinating.

No baiting going on here... just honest to goodness curiosity.

Color tile optical illusion

February 9, 2008 10:23pm

Thanks for the advice Strumpet... I've now found that if I just stare a hole through 'B' it will slowly darken and reveal itself to be the same as 'A'. Tres cool illusion, and thanks to all for the links.

Wondering if it would be as effective if the column was a different color? What is the significance/purpose of Green here? Anyone?I'd experiment myself but I suck at photoshop...........

no, really, I do.

Rio Carnival float depicting Holocaust banned

February 1, 2008 12:39am

No... he can keep his flame-bait accusation. After I hit 'post' I realized that it was wrong and cheap. I guess I got wrapped up in the heat. My apologies.

So look, Jack... you think what you want, but in the end Takuan only wanted you to consider what you know concerning the float controversy.

He didn't want to control you or change your thoughts, just point out that due to your strong emotional feelings towards the subject you might be missing something important.

That's correct... thirteen is more like it.

Alan Moore documentary on AlterTube

January 31, 2008 4:58pm

Always a treat to hear what Mr. Moore has to say... thanks for the link. But is this really a "documentary"? Seems like another "tribute" type thing where Alan gets to let us know what's up with reality. Which is fine, it's just that it would be really great to see more of what the guy is really like and not just what his beliefs are. Get him nice and comfortable, y'know, follow him around for a week. Let's see all the weird stuff he's got, let's check out his basement, let's see him go bloody grocery shopping!!!

Southern racists adopt "Canadian" as a euphemism for "black"

"Ever wonder why trailer park boys is set in Nova Scotia?"

Actually no, I don't, since I know that is where the creators of the show come from. It is unfortunate the conclusion that you tried to imply.

Videos of people smoking salvia divinorum

January 25, 2008 11:28am

"Salvia and salvinorin A/B are novel in their actions and effects. Not only is it the most potent naturally occurring psychoactive molecule known - but it's effects defy easy classification."

It's my understanding that this throws a monkey wrench in the "authorities" plans to make salvia illegal. Also it is non-toxic, and after the trip it is impossible to detect it within blood/urine ... However, memory of my experience shall last a lifetime.
