  1. The mnemonic I use to remember which is which: Mites grow up and tights come down.
  2. You don't envisage them having intellectual autonomy and self-identity being a problem for us?
  3. They have been my favourite since I was 14. I saw them play that in 1988 and The Wall in ''81. That vid is a great example but the sheer magnitude and warmth of the sound can't be captured in film. I am reminded of something DJ John Peel said many years ago; " His playing went so deep inside me I'm sure I'm having his baby"! Time is the story of many people's lives. That solo just knocks me out; I have to get my air guitar out. Here's a bit of chocolate and wine for the ears. Check out Yanick Etienne's voice:
  4. I love the non-lexical chorus line in the Enigma track; quite visceral. That IMAX track is very absorbing and chilling. Thanks. +1:) Yes, born '62. I had a friend who was a big fan of them who exposed me to them, and Kraftwerk, in the mid-seventies, The German electro groups were the original trance bands imo; I loved the sonic landscapes they painted in my mind.
  5. Your posts were noted, dismantled and put in the correct perspective. Going around in circles is boring and your attitude not conducive to reasonable discussion of such a subject. It is clear that you don't know what you don't know; arrogance of ignorance. CharonY has given you the most current, informed answer to your premise. Read it again.
  6. Indeed, who or what is the final arbiter? The reality is, our culture and familial influences mould what we think is moral or immoral. As long as ones own moral behaviour is consistent with ones moral code, in ones native setting, then ones morals are 'correct'. Moral behaviour is behaviour that is deemed acceptable amongst ones native superiors and peers.
  7. I think we have to set our own purpose but many would like to be guided and think they are fulfilling the wishes of some higher authority. Yes,I think so when looking at the big picture but in reality some very large proportion of our day is just spent satisfying functional needs that get us through the day. It's purely arbitrary. You don't know what you'll do until you face such a situation. I think, if you look in poverty-stricken or extreme resource deprived areas you will find your answer.
  8. That might be an example of asynchronous data streams; perhaps the bit's missing that would give it sense were non-verbal; imagine acollage of different media combining to give a coherent message.It's only in the last year or so I've noticed this coherent monologue within me. It's almost like my inner self has finally figured a way to talk to me that I can hear. I am severely deaf and in my younger years I couldn't hear what people were saying in my dreams; now it is all loud and clear. Perhaps my disability forced my brain to adapt this way. I feel quite strongly that this is often so. The dreams I actually remember usually seem to have a narrative that suggests I'm trying to reconcile something that troubles me but have not yet acknowledged, or refuse to acknowledge, in my waking life. He's quoting from a dream of his that puzzles him.
  9. Marine animal remains algae, salt and water then. Aussie Sushi Special Hair Styling lotion....100% natural ....feeds your hair too!"
  10. Anything that puts a layer on your scalp and potentially blocks the pores/follicles wouldn't be good in the long run, methinks. I can't see any harm in using it occassionally and don't sleep on it.
  11. I take it Galileo is a hero of yours? We have seen lots of Galileo wannabees.
  12. Good, maybe you can work on the rest that others have pointed out to you.
  13. Wisdom comes from acknowledging mistakes; you have yet to do this.
  14. It was a favourite saying of my grandad's. The way you have edited it is better though. +1 We do like to be concise., I have found it to be a consoling expression when things go tits up and also helps young people, mentioning it to them, when the same happens to them as well (as I was once) . It is our mistakes that make us, not our successes, are they not?
  15. i think i've cracked the sugar addiction; not bothered anymore. Smoking next; got the Zyban lined up for August. Looking forward to that challenge

  16. You only become wise through your mistakes; another way of saying that one has acquired 'experience'. I am very wise but would rather be clever; less painful. Those that never made a mistake never made anything. Edit: added missing word.
  17. So, you never make mistakes? I envy you, Sir.
  18. That's what people may say but you can't see those those attributes until you know the person. All you've got is what you actually see to make your initial judgement.
  19. StringJunky

    Uh?

    The title should be changed to 'Duh' or 'Doh'.
  20. A wise person learns from their mistakes; a clever person learns from the mistakes of the wise person.
  21. A profound realisation.
  22. Selling dreams is big business.
  23. Absolutely, Sir! If one can see white skin one must be Caucasian and, therefore, intelligent.
