Not a Cool Facade. 16 Apr. 2014 comment + criticism welcome `Perceptions' ITEM Copyright © 2012 Ray Dickenson Not a `Cool Facade' - (maybe) work-in-progress 2012 - Some bio-detail, responding to a few correspondents who've maybe gotten the impression - from me trying to keep `Perceptions' dispassionate and impartial - that its editor is a cold and unfeeling misanthrope or misogynist(a recent writer even accused me of `high morality'). Even so, it was a shock to realise, recently when starting this, how the influences of strong-minded women have predominated. Thinking back, can see that a false impression of `reticence' or `coolness' could be due to a rather old-fashioned early upbringing, even for that period. Due to that old-fashioned upbringing, had started work when still 15, at an iron & steel foundry (a somewhat dangerous workplace in those days), and might've felt limited / oppressed were it not for getting together with first real girl-friend about a year and a bit later.
Sophisticated Orient Field-work. 50 Strategies For Making Yourself Work. Written by Jerry Oltion Copyright © 2001 by Jerry Oltion Work avoidance is one of the major paradoxes of the writing profession. Generally, writers want to write (or want to have written), but all too often we find ourselves doing anything else but. We’ll mow lawns, do the dishes, polish silverware–anything to keep from facing the blank page. At the same time we know we eventually have to get to work, so we come up with all sorts of strategies for forcing ourselves to the keyboard.
Sometimes a single strategy works beautifully for an entire writer’s career (for instance: for over 40 years Fred Pohl wrote four pages a day no matter what, after which he was free to polish all the silverware he wanted), but in my own case I’ve discovered that any particular strategy only works for a couple of months before I learn to subvert it. As a result I have to keep inventing new ones. Set a quota of pages written per day. Filosofiasexului: Bărbatul ca o haină.

The 19 Rules of Inference Edip Yüksel The prototype disbeliever who is challenged by the number 19 is described as the one who makes erroneous inferences (74:18-20).
The repetitious reference to his fallacious logic emphasizes the importance of thinking and inferring properly. God has embedded in our hardware and system software the rules of logical thinking (rooh and aql), which amazingly work perfectly in harmony with the rules of external or natural world. If we employ these rules they will help us to understand God’s law in the nature and the scripture. Number 19, as the mathematical system of the Quran, invites the audience to use his or her rules of inferences to witness, understand and appreciate the intricate and extraordinary design of the Book.
“The present list of 19 rules of inference constitutes a COMPLETE system of truth-functional logic, in the sense that it permits the construction of a formal proof of validity for ANY valid truth-functional argument.” The Cognitive Turn | Musings on Renaissance literature, historical scholarship, and modern culture in the age of cognitive science.

Could there really be one pill that keeps you young indefinitely? This news recently hit the media (link), and the headlines so far have been pretty wild. Catchphrases like "forever young" and "secret to eternal life" will surely spark interest even among the non-immortalist crowd, but how much of it is just hype? So what is this news all about? The drug in question is the work of professor Vladimir Skulachev, who has dedicated his life to study (and solve) aging. Now he's finally found an antioxidant with anti-aging properties and plans to start selling it in just a few years. Despite what supplement salesmen will tell you, antioxidants by themselves are not worth much in terms of extending lifespan.
There's a pretty simple reason for that, too: normal antioxidants don't reach the mitochondria where most of the free radical damage occurs. It appears that Skulachev has synthesized a mitochondrially targeted antioxidant. So what's the catch here? NextBrain! Daily tips to improve brain fitness and cognitive performance - Your Next Brain! Cognitive Design. Good Designers Read Your Mind – But How? April 13th, 2014 In cognitive design we spend a lot of time trying to understand what people are really thinking and feeling. We need to understand their mental models, cognitive biases and emotional states so that we can design products and services that meet deeply felt psychological needs. So I am always on the lookout for new scientific insights into how to read others peoples’ minds. For example, the new book, Mindwise How we Decide What Others Think, Feel and Want, challenges some commonly held assumptions. While the book does not present an alternative for effective reading other minds, it will help you avoid some common pitfalls and provides justification for using the more scientific approaches (e.g. metaphor elicitation and protocol analysis) that we write about in the Cognitive Design Blog.

I just wish sometimes these opinions and emotions were based on facts, rather than hearsay and irrational assumption. People do crazy things spurred by heightened emotions.
