Funny...I was just thinking about this the other day. I think there are many A causes B causes A scenarios we can look at. The one I was thinking about is the brain-state. It is a fact that the electrical activity of the brain causes a magnetic field to exist, but experiments have shown that manipulation of this field has a profound effect on thought (hence an effect on the synapse in the brain). It seems to me that the field brings more order & control to the chaotic firing of neurons, but the order that it might bring arises from the semi-ordered(?) chaos of the synapses in the first place. Apparently brain function is the result of a sort of closed-loop feedback. So what do we think with, the cells or the field they generate?...Obviously both. We are now left to wonder which came first, the chicken or the egg? The correct answer now appears to be that since each causes and is an effect of the other, neither could have been first and the question is therefore nonsensical. We know that changing magnetic fields creates electricity and changing electrical fields creates magnetism. (Maxwell's equations verify this) Figuring out what started it would give me a mega-headache. |

I'm extremely double-jointed. I always make sure to stretch out thoroughly before, but still my shoulder goes out of joint on occasion if I over-reach or something. I do weightlifting 3x/week and get plenty of shoulder exercise. Anyone know of a trick or warmup I can use to prevent injury in the future?
Thanks! |

Still a cycling legend. Everyone cheats in Cycling. This is true. The Tour De France was designed to be so difficult as to be impossible to cheat in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_France#Origins To compensate for the extreme difficulty, everyone in the sport turned to doping of some kind or other many, many moons ago. |

Free will is always an interesting topic. Calvin and various other Determinists in all religions said it doesn't exist. I like to think there is free will, but it could be that everything we experience is just an illusion. The debate will rage until the end of time, I suspect.

I am feeling lazy. Any chance of posting a link Heavenlyboy? I got my copy of her lectures on CD from The Great Courses (thegreatcourses.com). It's not available free anywhere, AFAIK. |

Hello, everyone. My name is Dmitry (Dima), 21 y.o. I born and currently in one of European countries, but in future I am planning to relocate to US. Because of that I want to improve my English skill. Now, if I want to watch a movie, I try to find it on english. I found a great website where I can read all the news I am interested in on eglish too. The next I want is to find an english-talking friend, who would help me by talking with me in english. Gender, Age - it doesn't matter. I just want to communicate with someone. I didn't decide anything better, than to make a profile here xD If there is anyone, who wants to help or just feel lonely, you can just wrtie to me. And may be if you know some other sites, where I can find what I am looking for, give me a link please :) Is your native tongue Russian? You have a common Russian name. If so, we can help each other learn our respective native tongues. :) I know a lot of Russian, but need a lot more practice to memorize the vocabulary and become proficient. |

Meh. All the near Eastern religions believe in absurd, unprovable things and condone extreme violence to some extent or another. Dr Amy-Jill Levine's (of Vanderbilt University Divinity School) lectures on the Old Testament are a good place to start learning about it.

You are preaching to the choir, as I read your words. In the old days, from ten years ago to forty years ago, roughly a thirty-forty year long stretch, this was a good idea. The young were shut out of the oversaturated work force, by being forced to get more and longer-taking education if they wanted a job, or a good job. The student loans made it sure they'd go to work after graduation, and not waste their education on drug trips to Africa or on sex trips to Bangcock. But. The situation changed, and the system did not. Now we don't need workers. The money is there, the goods are there, and in my opinion no work is needed by the average bloke. But he needs money to spend, to sustain the economy. I believe money should be given out freely to those who work, but they must work much fewer hours, to let everyone to the table. So the student loans will force the kid to work but there are no jobs. If he doesn't go to school, in order to avoid student loans, he or she will never get a career job. This is not going well any more, and it's one sign of it. The massacre is another sign how things are not going well, and the Greeks are yet another sign how badly things are going. I just hope to die of natural causes, or nearly natural causes, before WWIII breaks out. I am Jewish, and I don't take well to starvation or cold or hard work, so I don't want to go to summer death camp which my mother did (and survived). There are plenty of jobs that don't require a degree in the skilled trades, but most people don't want to do them anymore. And they pay very well. I almost became a welder myself, but that didn't work out for a number of reasons. Hopefully, the apprentice system will make a comeback someday. There would be more people doing interesting and useful jobs and fewer unemployed people with useless degrees like underwater basket weaving and so on. |
