home God is logic Summary Human consciousness is our ideas. (See AnswersAnswers.com)The greatest idea is logic.This is taught in the Bible. About Bible scholarship Most Bible scholars are interested in what people believed. The Bible contains many books, and some are more logical than others. 'God' defined John is the only Bible writer who defines the word God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 'Word' is the Greek 'logos' meaning logic. "Logos" is a principle of order and knowledge (see the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy 2nd edition): Logos: The Greek term for 'reason' for 'giving an account' (Plato). 'With' is the Greek 'pros', as in the modern usage "pro -something", meaning 'to the advantage of'. "In the beginning was logic, and logic was with (on the side of, to the advantage of) God, and logic was God." So logic (in the Greek sense of the word) is God. Intellectual sophistication They could not afford to be dumb. Now back to the topic of gods. Sacrifice

Clifford A. Pickover's Home Page Fool's mate "Fool's mate" is sometimes used to mean Scholar's mate. Fool's Mate, also known as the "Two-Move Checkmate", is the quickest possible checkmate in chess.

The Wagnerian Method When physicist John Smith spent the night in his garden with the score to Götterdämmerung, the final opera in Richard Wagner’s four-part, 15-hour epic, Der Ring des Nibelungen, he wasn’t interested in its account of the apocalyptic struggle of Norse gods for control of the world. Smith was concerned with a struggle of a different sort—one between the opera’s words and music that might elucidate the controversial German composer’s peculiar vision for the future of art. On Smith’s mind was an age-old difficulty all soprano singers face: They mispronounce lyrics when singing powerfully in the top half of their range. This “soprano problem” was formally recognized at least as far back as 1843, when French composer Hector Berlioz wrote in his Treatise on Instrumentation that “[sopranos] should not be required to sing many words on high phrases, since this makes the pronunciation of syllables very difficult if not impossible.”
47 Mind-Blowing Psychology-Proven Facts You Should Know About Yourself I’ve decided to start a series called 100 Things You Should Know about People. As in: 100 things you should know if you are going to design an effective and persuasive website, web application or software application. Or maybe just 100 things that everyone should know about humans! The order that I’ll present these 100 things is going to be pretty random. So the fact that this first one is first doesn’t mean that’s it’s the most important.. just that it came to mind first. Dr. <div class="slide-intro-bottom"><a href="
The Dialectics of Change and the Folly of Activism from the Neck Up By Edward-Yemil Rosario People often ask me to talk about solutions. I believe that most of the time people are genuinely interested in what I have to say. However, sometimes I suspect the question is a passive/ aggressive way to dismiss my observations, mistakenly thinking that because I can adequately articulate what is, that I have lost sight of what can be. I am deeply steeped in theory and scholarly pursuits, but I am also a doer — I am an activist by profession. I will submit that many politically-minded people approach political science from an almost purely philosophical perspective. This is not a terribly complicated affair, but if you’ve never participated in a grassroots movement, or in the process of organizing people around the notion of change, then it’s a foreign concept. I’m going to call this framework, Spiral Dialectics, and I borrow heavily from Engels who was a collaborator of Karl Marx’s. 1. The dialectical process is not a creation of Marxist philosophy. 1. 2. 3.
forpressfound - WHY PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING You will never fall in the traps of the propaganda-world again: you'll see through their lies. Fwd. and intro by Henk Ruyssenaars September 27th 2010 - That you have been screwed financially for ages is not new to you, is it? Otherwise you can take your pick here. - Url.: And you know why "People Will Believe Almost Anything"? And I know the following article is a golden oldie, but that's exactly why it's still important since people are hit by it daily: Why Americans Will Believe Almost Anything. By Tim O'Shea 10-30-2007 - Aldous Huxley's inspired 1954 essay detailed the vivid, mind-expanding, multisensory insights of his mescaline adventures. Those bonds are much harder to break today, half a century later. It is an exhausting and endless task to keep explaining to people how most issues of conventional wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by a thousand media clips per day. If everybody believes something, it's probably wrong.
Extreme Thinkover Men at 65: New Findings On Well-Being THE secret of emotional health among older men is not a successful career, a happy marriage or a stable childhood, new findings suggest. It lies instead in an ability to handle life's blows without passivity, blame or bitterness. The findings, which contradict widely held theories about the importance of early life for emotional well-being in adulthood, are among recent conclusions of a study of 173 men who have been scrutinized at five-year intervals since they graduated from Harvard in the early 1940's. The project, known as the Grant study after the W. T. Grant Foundation, which initially supported it, is one of a handful that have intensively assessed people at regular intervals through their adult years. The researchers defined emotional health at 65 as the ''clear ability to play and to work and to love,'' and a feeling of satisfaction with life. These were among their findings: * Pragmatism and dependability are particularly important. The latest data were collected by George E.
