I beg your pardon, guys, but you don't seem to comprehend what Jeannie is talking about: IMAGINATION is not REASON!
Where would Humanity be without a completely unreasonable -- unconstricted by rules -- IMAGINATION?!!! A long long time ago, there lived a strange fellow -- referred to by everybody as a "DELUSIONAL DREAMER and LUNATIC" for his UNreasonable thinking... You see, all day long he was drawing something and even constructed some strange wooden models... He had a dream:_____HE WANTED TO FLY!!! (The crazy nut's name was Leonardo DaVinci) * * * Another crazy nut you might've heard about -- a forefather of the modern science, who's gone completely mad and delusional -- had to be burnt at the stake because of his 'unchecked' and irrational thinking and behavior: he dared challenge the established belief, suggesting our planet is not the centre of the universe, but is circling around the Sun!!! (That crazy nut's name was Galileo Galillei) * * * Certainly, the Scientific Method is the most efficient way of driving the progress. However, the most ingenious and original discoveries have been achieved by THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX -- the essence of IMAGINATION!!! |

You're using the term 'implicit' in an unfamiliar way to me
I don't resort to such sinister definitions of implicit as "covert" -- definitely not. In a more social sense, it simply means: a) suggested or understood without being directly stated --- (eienglish.org/literms.html) b) suggested or to be understood though not plainly expressed (Webster's New World Dictionary).---(www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/secondlanguages/scos/1999/12glossary) Therefore, in view of the inprecise premiss, you arrived to the imprecise conclusion: Memory, in my understanding, cannot be implicit in the way you're attempting to describe it. ------- you mean " the way you thoght I'm attempting to describe it".
As I mentioned earlier, it might be possible for your subconscious to help you identify things without your knowledge — a gut instinct or lucky guess that helped you on an exam could have originated in your implicit memory. (or driving to the corner grocery store from home, and vice-versa) |

Well, thanks God (or whomever), but the Apophis threat has been recalculated and reduced to 4 in 500,000 -- still, in cosmic proportions, that's too much!

1)
"A" often means simply 'not' -- so Atheist means "not theist"!
2) an atheist is just one letter away from a btheist
But What the_hell "b" means? ? ? -- For the same reason, What's a Ctheist, or Dtheist, etc.? ? ? |

That's elementary, my dear Watson!
Grasping anything new, at first, requires conscious effort -- thus it better be consciously perceived (although, I'm sure, any fool can do it Subconsciously, LOL!) But once it is perceived (and understood), it becomes automatic and effortless, i.e. implicit. Your brain can recognize and process things that you aren’t consciously retrieving from your memory. For example, you don’t need to intentionally think about how to get dressed in the morning, nor do you need to consciously go through all the steps necessary to drive from home to work, for example. You automatically do those things because they are routine procedures that are a part of your implicit memory. Implicit memory can influence your actions without your awareness of any mental activation, whereas explicit memory involves active and conscious memory retrieval. However, the intuition kicks in when you finally get response to your mental queueries: Deciphering all the signs and impressions might (or might not) be a simple task... That's why they call it a hunch (or a gut feeling)!!! While scientists generally agree that routine tasks are part of implicit memory, they have less confidence about visual recognition. Many work under the premise that recognition is the exclusive domain of explicit memory. While it's true that you must consciously dig through your memories to figure out if you have seen something before, it might be possible for your subconscious to help you identify things without your knowledge — a gut instinct or lucky guess that helped you on an exam could have originated in your implicit memory. In fact, ditractions during the process of studying might actually stimulate the learning process: distraction will make it harder for explicit memory storage (but not for implicit memory) . |

______________METHOD OF INTUITION__(part 1)
. If you want to get guidance from your intuition first decide what it is you want - then ask for an answer. Keep repeating the question. Then tell yourself that you have the answer Then let go. Don't expect an answer immediately. If you get one in your mind - it's not the answer - it's just your mind and ego playing tricks with you. Let go. Forget about it. The next step is often the most difficult - trust that the answer will come at the right time. as human beings we like to take control of things - we like to know what is going to happen and we want to make things happen. But sometimes you can't - sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for the answer - trusting that it will come at exactly the right time. When it does come - you'll know and you'll follow through. the message isn't always as clear as we would like it to be. The way intuition speaks to us isn't always easy to understand. But if you keep testing it and keep searching, the answer will become clear. The feeling will be overwhelming. ***The signals will be repeated and clear*** . The messages from other people will be repeated over and over again. Then the message becomes clear. Sometimes you may not understand the message until years later. But it will all make sense at some point - and that point is when the time is right. |

... in fact, Free Will is an illusion, a philosophycal concept of the relative kind -- perceived only in relation to other issues... * Even Randomness is possible only within a finit set: A set of random numbers -- extended to infinity -- will, sooner or later, acquire a certain pattern. Nevertheless, to a certain degree, we are Free to exercise our Wills... (But only to a certain degree -- permitted by law! ) P.S. After all, there's a system to every madness! redonkulous: Well I do not think free will is an illusion, unless your definition is the all to common definition that requires free will to be the opposite of deterministic causation. In which case its a categorical confusion that creates a situation where in order to make free will real one must ignore cause and effect, or allude to some unknown random thought generator, some god-scape, some spirit sauce, some metaphysical plane of mind, or other such vacuous ideas.
Its natural for these concepts to confuse individuals who have not spent adequate time exploring the relationship between what can be known and what is, the relationship between causation and correlation and the common confusions created when categorical errors are made in reference to these terms. I stand corrected -- certainly your right regarding Free Will -- I got carried away in referring to it as an illusion... Neverhteless, considering a highly relative nature of the issue -- a philosophycal concept of the relative kind (i.e. perceived only in relation with other issues) -- the difference between actual and illusory becomes less significant! |
