[Uncommon Descent] Can we make software that comes to life? | Uncommon Descent: “We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated.

[Comments for Cosmic Variance] What's the (Dark) Matter? | Cosmic Variance | Discover Magazine: In the particular way that we have grown into this humanity, we have a particular set of states to work within our awareness of the cosmos, including the awareness of ourselves. All of these states are mixed up and exchanged throughout the planet, between humans, between humans and animals, between humans and the Earth, and each of these interactions and states seem to be successively flowing with the present in such a way that we maintain the accumulated interactions and states that have arisen before us (”the cosmos remembers”).

[Untitled] Intelejensia & Kreatifitas: Berevolusi ataukah Permanen? «: Nassim Haramein, building on Walter Russell’s12,13 and others’ models of spherical interactive wave models, extends them significantly by positing a universe of galactic, stellar, planetary, cellular, molecular, atomic and particulate “wholes” that are simultaneously dynamically rotating white holes radiating (electromagnetic energy) infinitely outward from their centers and equally balanced dynamic black holes collapsing (gravitationally) infinitely inward through that same center.14,15,16

[Comments for Cosmic Variance] Be vewwwwy vewwwwy quiet”¦. | Cosmic Variance | Discover Magazine: A standard 10 solar mass black hole would turn your spacecraft into scrap metal before you got within 10 or 100 times the horizon radius, and not only that your body would be pulled into thread (a’la the Inquistion’s rack) before you reached the ergosphere. The closest identified black hole you could navigate this way is the big one in the galaxy center, many thousands of light years away.

[ScienceBlogs Select] The natural basis for gender inequality : Greg Laden's Blog: We are in the middle of a breakdown in the global economy caused not solely, but principally, by the penis-waving, hyper-aggressive, seeking of short term gain and adrenaline pumping risky behaviour at the expense of caution, nuance and society-benefiting reciprocation. That even now you would push the idea that the typical alpha male irrational aggression is sought because it is better rather than sought because it is the norm is nothing except evidence that you are wedded to an idea you personally find attractive because it benefits you and fits your biases.

[Politically Correct at The Times] Politically Correct at The Times » Blog Archive » Apartheid forces ...: Zuma reacts to this with shock and disbelieves but because this man of eNkandla values this gesture, he knows it is not sucking up, he humbly reaches out to him and the two sit down under the tree where they start it all over again right from the begining, who said what and who influenced him how and who are the really enemies of Africa who have tried to win him to their side in order to destry Zuma, then the ANC and finally himself. I can really recall how the decision continued but I think at the end of it Zuma realizing the honesty in this man, he takes him seriuosly and Mbeki eventually utter the most difficult yet very African words, “Nxamalala mfowethu , we have made mistakes , I think I have wronged you, ngiyaxolisa- sorry fondini , maluji.

[Piers Morgan] In Defence of Susan Boyle | Piers Morgan Website: Piers, you seem like a very honorable gentleman…I was disappointed that our lovely Susan didn’t win but she won Millions of Hearts the World over and that in itself is a better Prize !! All Susan wanted was a chance to sing and prove that she did have something to offer..She wanted to sing before the Queen but I have a feeling Her Royal Majesty will request Susan to sing for her…I have watched her youtube clip probably hundreds of times if not more…Her voice has a way of reaching deep down into one’s Soul…I have never felt that with any other singer..Her fans are very protective of her and since I live in USA, when I heard the scumbags were prowling around her I was so worried for her welfare…It is very ironic that the song that made me fall in love with her has that verse about the tigers coming at night, tearing your hopes apart and turn your Dreams to shame…And that is just exactly what those Gutter papers did to her…That was so painful when she said after her performance “I am among friends, am I Not?
