Echoes gets a regular airing in my house 🙂

I remember playing Echoes from Pink Floyd’s Meddle, some 50+ years ago, with the record arm lifted so it would play on repeat. Around the third time, my father unexpectedly burst into my room shouting at me to turn it off, as it was like Chinese water torture to him.  So obviously I did, but I had remained astounded that the notes of Pink Floyd at…[Read more]

Strega….If the rain becomes persistent and you discover you’ve been staring through the same window for twenty minutes……..

Lovely rainy day here – no need to do anything at all 😉

Thanks Reg!

Have a great week!

Some nights I sneak around the Campus, spray-painting ‘QUALIA’ on the walls of the Psychology Dept block then strike it through.

*Governments and legal systems still tend to conceptualize atheism and humanism merely as an absence of religion rather than positive philosophical convictions entitled to equal respect. Freedom of religion or belief doesn’t mean religion plus an exemption for everyone else. The State doesn’t get to decide that theological convictions are…[Read more]

So you are skeptical?

I reserve judgment. Obviously need repetition and consistency before it is a thing. Keep in mind again that the mind clearly plays a role in the placebo effect. And state of mind seems to be instrumental in some dying and others living. Hey i get it. If anything FEELS like woo it is…USE YOUR MIND TO HEAL THOSE WOUNDS!

Check out this article. Sounds nuts to think that focusing on the pain may induce healing. Instinctively we want diversion or pain relief. But then again fooling the individual thinking they are getting the good stuff sometimes helps.

“Disproportionate”? Sorry, I should have specified ‘relative to what’.

Yes, Israel is disproportionately represented in scientific and technological innovation relative to its population and size. I would say that Israel produces more high-level scientific and technological output than you would expect from its population, land area, or even it…[Read more]

I would have like to have been in the meeting when that idea was first floated. I think Israel’s longstanding advantage has been disproportionately dense networks connecting universities, engineering, medicine, entrepreneurship and venture capital. That produces a cultural environment in which somebody can plausibly say “Can I have some money to g…[Read more]

Don’t have a cow man.

Zionist ice cream. Zionist cheese. Zionist milk.

They must. They must. They must prove they’re value to justify their existence.

Have a great week!

Ok wise guy i asked all knowing AI.

Yes, it is fair and accurate to characterize microbes as evolving in response to antibiotics. Antibiotics create a strong selective pressure. Microbes with random genetic mutations that grant resistance survive. They then pass those helpful traits to their offspring, leading to evolutionary adaptation.How…[Read more]

*correction

non free range
aka slave ship chickens.

I don’t know what my microwave does. But i do know if i alter the positioning 180 degrees that should correct for everything.

Well i was mistaken in an assumption. Turns out nonfarmraised chickens are innoculated but not as i had thought with antibiotics. Those are administered only after an outbreak. Pre and probiotics and more sanitary…[Read more]

Still, still, not one goddamn time since i first reported the coffee cup pointing away when microwaving has it pointed towards me. Not even achieved equator. I will take equator. I equate equator as a victory.

See Schecter Poultry v. USA for a very boring constitutional law case that involves cruelty to chickens and the interstate commerce…[Read more]
