  1. Have you seen the list of quality people that were taken in 9/11? Over two thousand. Mostly well educated and disciplined.

    A lot of educated and common sense people live in the U.S. Thank God they have a majority say in the worlds direction. The military educates a large percentage of us. The armed forces have the extra discipine some of the borderline people need. We're 250 million strong and we have over a million in prison and maybe a million more should be.

    Thats the result of our education process. Something is radically wrong and I can't figure it out. How do we maximize everyone to their potential? How do we make kids want to know what we know?

  2. I still like the test at the top. First post has a lot of validity

    Halogen Fisk has presented the near perfect way to determine ---->:bs:.

    I think if you don't get a decent score then it's psuedoscience.

    I've got a few ideas that score under zero and I love discussing them.

    It still is very hard to discuss serious subjects in a chat room. Scientists can still have a sense of humor and I'm glad you keep it balanced fafalone.

  3. Since your retinas can only generate signals to your brain at a slow chemical reaction speed and at a limited frequency, then you would process the information faster in near real time but be limited by the parameters of the eye. The cillia in the ear and the eardrum are mechanical and you would still hear the same output a little faster so you might here a different range of frequencies.

    I think the only real difference is your reflexes might be faster and you could learn faster.

  4. If you want to build a cyborg with a computer memory and processor then the body would need at least a brain stem but the rest of the brain would be artificial. The connection for control of the body should be made above the brain stem.:eek:

    Piece of cake

  5. Quote "You obviously haven't done drugs."

    I'm just trying to say be prepared. Know what your looking for really. I lived in the Yaqui Indian desert and down with the Chocos of the Darien Gap. I've lived with the various tribes in the LLanos and Northern Amazon of South America. Drugs were not for recreation but only to help take one more small step forward.

    You need to be ready for help with the first stair step and then you have to make it up to the landing by yourself. Organics don't destroy the body. Stay away from the chemicals.

    I do know LSD is a derivative of ergot and is basically organic but I don't recommend it.

    I think Peyote, mescaline, and psilocyben ought to be legalized but in special school and discipline enviroments. Only to make the world better. Just my opinion.

  6. Try yoga and "real meditation". Not the crap thats in a lot of books or just sitting and saying oooooommmm.

    You have to earn every step you take in the world. There is no quick, easy, gift. It all depends on if you really want the real thing. Good luck.

  7. The .9999... no matter how far it extends has to move up one decimal place. The ...... is confusing until you realize moving it one digit past the decimial point is also adding a zero in the last place at the infinite end. Then you are subtracting

     

    .9999-----0 from

     

    .9999-----9

     

    That last 9 tips the value to 1

  8. If it is confusing our makeup and mobile then it sounds like the perfect defininition of where a personality might reside if it is inhereted. At least a few clues. maybe stable personalities have less "jumping". Just for thought.

  9. I've seen two lightning bolts within 200 feet of me in my lifetime. With one I was standing flat against a boulder and another hit a tree. I don't think I repel lightning but there are cases of multiple strikes on people. The conditions of the strikes seemed unusual also. That's why I said if you don't get hit the first time you probably aren't a target. Sure wouldn't want to be a target.

  10. I have a supposition. The genes we call junk genes which have no relationship to other comparisons of important genes but are individual to each person. They are long strings we can't attach any significance to. I don't believe they do not have a purpose but might have a large effect on who we are expressed as.

    Just for conjecture.

  11. Thats a good point but the basics don't change and there is a minimum you can have to move forward in your life. At least literacy. Most won't catch up and will be left behind but they will use the products of the people on the edge.

    If they can read.

  12. An exciting class I had was Mr. Hu cus he paddled bad students back when it was permissable. He actually could teach. I had a teacher who was a drunk and when he came in with a bandaid on his forehead we made fun of how he must have passed out and hit his head on the desk. That was fun for a couple of weeks but most of the class didn't learna a thing. The thrill in algebra was to walk up to the teachers desk and fart as you passed. Every young man in english waited for the teacher in a short skirt on a stool in front of the class to uncross her legs. I myself don't remember what she taught. Somebody in Chemistry tacked a joint on the bulletin board with a tack and for two weeks the thrill was to see if it was still there before it was finally noticed. Why did students search for distractions when learning was offered?

  13. Maybe we ought to learn to converse with a tree. A no or yes would require maybe a season. Or at least a dolphin. Where are we with that? We've recorded a lot of squeeks

    Silicon may take a lot longer to communicate with but it also should be able to learn faster. It's a longshot possibility but the best bet is with more organic life forms. Do you think insects could attain sentience in a lower gravity enviroment?

  14. They never show if there would be a difference in levitation at the poles of the Earth. It still might be a strictly magnetic phenomena related to the Earths field since they can't really get a significant lift out of it.

    Thanks blike. Its fascinating stuff:bravo: I'm gonna pass it around.

    Just aman:cool:
