Reality Is Unrealistic As we've mentioned a few times before, the real world occasionally gives rise to murderers so terrifyingly crazy that if we saw them in a horror film, we would instantly write them off as utterly ridiculous B-movie cheese. When exposed to an exaggeration or fabrication about certain real-life occurrences or facts, some people will perceive the fictional account as being more true than any factual account. This might lead to people acting on preconceptions about unfamiliar matters even in a life-or-death situation, or cause viewers to cry foul when things on a show work out in a way that actually is realistic, but contrary to "what everybody knows", like complaining of the "fake Scottish accent" of a real Scottish actor or about a character's death from a bullet "merely" to the shoulder.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein - StumbleUpon [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Human nature and the human condition Aspects of human nature - like our capacity for language, reasoning or emotions - are amenable to scientific analysis that looks at where they come from and how they work using tools like evolutionary biology, genetics, or neuroscience. But not everything about us that is important is innate. Some deeply entrenched features and characteristics of human life are actually contingent on our human history, not our human biology. Such aspects of the human condition - like marriage, sports, and war - are therefore not amenable to such scientific analysis and must be studied in a more humanistic way. War War is an unfortunate and seemingly intractable aspect of human existence that is often attributed to human nature - i.e. our innate aggressiveness and/or abstracted social forces such as the Hobbesian competition for resources or glory. So what is war? Religion I think one should be automatically suspicious of the self-serving character of this extension. Gender Conclusion
The History of the Free Will Problem This is despite three great advances in science that critically depend on the existence of real chance in the universe and two developments in logic and mathematics that question the status of philosophical certainty. We briefly review philosophers since Kant who expressed important views on freedom, and then examine some failed suggestions to include real chance and quantum indeterminacy in the process of free will. We can broadly classify these thinkers as determinists, compatibilists, or libertarians, Individuals might think marriage was their decision, but since the number of total marriages was relatively stable from year to year, Quételet claimed the individuals were determined to marry. A few thinkers questioned the idea that individual random events were actually determined simply because their statistical averages appeared to be determined. James very likely had the model of Darwinian evolution in mind. ΔpΔx ≥ h/2π Henry Stapp is another physicist employing quantum strangeness.
The Suicide of Socrates, 399 BC The Suicide of Socrates, 399 BC On a day in 399 BC the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 of his fellow Athenians accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and of "corrupting the youth." If found guilty; his penalty could be death. The trial took place in the heart of the city, the jurors seated on wooden benches surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Socrates' accusers (three Athenian citizens) were allotted three hours to present their case, after which, the philosopher would have three hours to defend himself. Socrates was 70 years old and familiar to most Athenians. After hearing the arguments of both Socrates and his accusers, the jury was asked to vote on his guilt. The jurors were next asked to determine Socrates' penalty. The philosopher was taken to the near-by jail where his sentence would be carried out. Plato was Socrates' most famous student. "When Crito heard, he signaled to the slave who was standing by. 'Of course', said Crito.
Intellectual Conscience « Agonblog In the course of my long term quest to discover what a philosopher ought to be, I realized, to my (it is not exaggeration to say) horror, that there are a great number of men (†), apparently a majority, who cannot philosophize. The most interesting and penetrating diagnosis of this condition I have ever encountered—by far—was in the writing of Friedrich Nietzsche. In the passage I am thinking of, Nietzsche claims that the great majority of men “lacks an intellectual conscience” — by which he means that they are not affected by the drive (quintessential to philosophers) to be certain in their understanding of the world. When I first started considering my fellow man along these dimensions, before I knew the term “intellectual conscience,” or even had a clear idea in my head to which this term would correspond, I was working from the assumption that every man, being a rational animal, has the basic tools to understand reason, and therefore philosophy.
Seven Blunders of the World The Seven Social Sins, sometimes called the Seven Blunders of the World, is a list that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi published in his weekly newspaper Young India on October 22, 1925.[1] Later, he gave this same list to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, shortly before his assassination.[2] The seven sins or blunders are: History and influence[edit] Mahatma Gandhi, who published the list in 1925 as a list of "Seven Social Sins" (1940s photo) The list was first published by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in his weekly newspaper Young India on October 22, 1925.[1] Gandhi wrote that a correspondent who he called a "fair friend" had sent the list: "The... fair friend wants readers of Young India to know, if they do not already, the following seven social sins,"[1] (the list was then provided). In the decades since its first publication, the list has been widely cited and/or discussed. Easwaran, Eknath (1989). Gomes, Peter J. (2007). See also[edit]
How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (Kinda) I felt alienated from The Guardian’s graphic about stockpiles of nuclear weapons . Was there a better way to depict the data? UPDATE: Aug – I’m in the process of revising this diagram in light of all the comments (and flames!). I felt the use of abstract figures made most of the data meaningless. There’s a single way I relate to nuclear weapons. So, I thought of a better way to understand the data. However, the idea rapidly unravelled. I wasn’t expecting that. 10 years ago we had 32,512 nuclear weapons. Ah but we all live in cities now I tried to recover a eye-popping stat with another quick calc. 50% of us live in densely populated cities now. Nope. Unexpectedly, in making this image, the data forced me to change my mind. In this case, it exposed the myth in my head, scorched long ago into my childhood imagination. No doubt, nuclear weapons are crazy devices. As the data reveals, we simply don’t have enough of them.
