Oh the Weather
As we watch the North East Flood, we are reminded of El Nino in the Western United States, well that is to say after the Santa Ana Winds and Wildfires subside. Well we are done with El Nino and ready for La Nina for a few years right? Not so fast say meteorologists.Read more…Greed and Chaos or Nobleness and Predictable Design
Mankind is a funny animal, existing in chaos, yet seeking orderly-ness rather than embracing what is. It is the age-old argument of Good, evil, heaven and hell, interesting man made ideas; how about randomness vs. simplicity; randomness vs.Read more…The Best Way is Never the Easy Way
We have all heard the statements that; “There is no easy way” or “the best way is never the easy way.” Such comments such as "The easy way is never the best way" should be modified I think. "Never" is an absolute and while it makes for good vodka, it is too clear to be black or white.Read more…Socialist Beehive Making Everyone Equal?
There is much flawed thought in a society where everyone is considered equal when in observation people are not always equal in every endeavor. If you are trying to make everyone equal in every regard then you will have no Lance Armstrong's, no competition and humans will be bored and no longer wish to live, work or be productive. Think on the history of communism or the socialist countries, which fall far behind the innovation that a win/win Western Civilization has produced?Read more…On Schopenhauer, Blue Cheese and the Workshop of Pain
Character, said Schopenhauer, is destiny.I remember reading that in my studio on Rue du Docteur Roux, a meandering back street in the 15th arrondisement of Paris, one block down from the Institute Pasteur where they would first discover the ticking HIV time bomb. I read a lot of things in that odd little room, a place I fondly referred to as the “beach motel” because it was part of a row of low-lying studio apartments that always reminded me of the squat, bunker-like concrete motels that run all along the California coast; rendezvous points for secret trysts, or way stations for the lost, the downbeat, the broken.Read more…What Makes Us Happy
Philosophers have long said that happiness is the ultimate goal of existence. For this we desire other goods such as money or power because we believe that they make us happy. Question is, do they really lead to happiness.Read more…HOW BIOLOGICAL LIFE - EVOLVED
This is a philosophical view that is supported by significant scientific inquiry. This analysis tracks the evolution of biological life here on earth in four interdependent discussions. It must be understood that the evolution of biological life has necessarily been a continuous unbroken process but that here I am treating this as if it can be discussed in four separate discussions - each being dependent upon the context of the others.Read more…Man is No Match for Mother Nature
Winds blowing at over a hundred miles per hour carrying storm surges of 25 feet, drowning innocent victims in flooded waters. Earth shaking tremblers of over 7.0 magnitude bringing down buildings and crushing those who sleep.Read more…How To Tackle The ACLU and Win: Is The "Intelligent Design" Program "Religion?"
The futile, but never-ending debate over which account of human origins may or may not be taught in public schools, drones on yet again. Most American Christians continue to fight the less-than-good fight, oblivious to the fairly obvious point that the Bible commands God's people, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers." This clearly requires Christians to avoid having their children taught by pagans -- meaning that God requires them to avoid sending their children to public schools.Read more…Feng Shui - How to Create a Healthier Living and Working Envoiroment
The importance of Wind and Water applies not only to the location of large centers of human habitation. Your home and your office are habitations also and you find yourself naturally concerned about the envoiroments in which you spend so much of your lifetime. When you choose a house or a apartment you worry about the price you will pay, the cost of living in the area, and the convenience of the location.Read more…Martin Luther King - An Essay
Martin Luther King Jr.Dr. King speaks of many of the racial prejudices and persecutions that they, African Americans, have suffered.Read more…Lack of Intelligence in Modern Societies
Have you noticed the dummying down of our society or the lack of intelligence? Well, it appears to not only be in the United States, but also in a number of modern societies. There are definitely some issues, which need to be addressed.Read more…Human Life is Sacred
Genesis 1:1 -- In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.There are many arguments by religious people today in defense of the idea of what is sacred and what is not. Many of the people who profess to believe in god are convinced that they have a very close, personal relationship with their creator; some are not as convinced of this proposition, and allow the idea of god or spirits to enter their lives only when every other means has failed.Read more…Each Drop of Rain Counts to Drench My Heart
Multiplication of heavy drops of rain water is only to multiply my happiness. The joy I feel when it rains is indescribable. Not only my outer body but my little heart inside of it is also drenched when it rains.Read more…Why Should Man Believe in God - An Optimistic Explanation
Belief is the base where the whole of humanity stands upon. Belief is the breath of every human being though he is unaware of it. Humanity believes many materialistic things in the world which they never see with their eyes, never hear with their ears.Read more…A Story of a Rose, an Artist, and History
The year was 2700 AD, and the technological advances of mankind were impressive. By now, 99% of disease had been eliminated, and the average life span was around 150 years. Innovating and exciting new fields of science had been opened and subdivided.Read more…Preference and Culture
IntroductionIn our present society, there are few educated individuals who will make the argument that a person's preference is either moral or immoral. This belief has become so deeply imbedded in the philosophies of certain people, that the term "preference" or "preferencial" is now almost synonymous with "amoral." For instance, if someone were to state that Homosexuality were immoral or unethical, one could respond, "Homosexuality is a preference, just like Heterosexuality.Read more…A Philosophical Dissertation on Consciousness
IntroductionThe question of what our consciousness is, or how or where it is produced, has been the subject of much philosophical inquiry over the past centuries. Some have relied upon spiritual conclusions, claiming that consciousness is one's soul (though today, the term "soul" often means one's emotional individuality). There are different claims across ancient civilization, offering the idea that the soul exists in a physical part of the body, be it the head, the heart, or the genitals.Read more…Blackboards
Before we talk about blackboards, we need to talk about existence and application, and on another level, we need to discuss coexistence. This essay requires for it to be philosophical, and philosophy is not about how we elaborate a point, it is about how we reach it (objectivity through subjectivity). No matter what we discuss, we’ll never be far off from the process of justification of a blackboard.Read more…Industrial Labor Versus Domestic Labor
IntroductionWhen an economic treatise is composed, there is almost no doubt that it is one based on a system of free, or somewhat limited, trade. The reason for that is quite easy to understand. Economics is a siocological study: it seeks to grasp and understand the fluctuation and mechanics of the interaction between people of the same society.Read more…

In eastern Cultures the passing of thought was considered valuable, so much in fact that even to this day members of those cultures respect their elders and listen to their advice.

A book called the Seven Daughters of Eve by Richard Sykes is worthy of a read and talks about what we have learned about the flow of human beings populations through DNA research. Thus it is safe to say that certain members of our species have developed differently and in different ways, meaning the brain also learns differently. As Scientists look at different human brains while doing various tasks and watch which areas light up with energy as it works through these different thoughts and tasks we are finding just how unique and different each mind really is.
