clipper's remarks: An interesting account that names and refute all arguments favoring a godly existence of any sort.
...
As David Hume wrote over 200 years ago in his Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion,
"What peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call thought,
that we must thus make it the model of the whole universe?"

Unmoved Mover

God is not a being that exists by mere definition (as the ontological argument unsuccessfully tries to establish); nor is God a mere mental state, with no existence independent of people's minds (at least, not according to most theists); nor is God's existence a necessary proposition to make sense of the world (as the presuppositional argument tries and fails to claim). Therefore, we can safely conclude that God's existence is not a properly basic belief, but rather an empirical proposition about the external world; it can only be properly supported by evidence, not mere assertion

it may surprise them to learn that all the most commonly heard arguments for God's existence have been around in one form or another literally for centuries

all of them were refuted soon after they were first proposed

The Cosmological Argument

The Design Argument

The Moral Argument

Gonna watch Wall E ??? Then why not here? Go ahead to know why? I know the movie is just rocking and it’s impossible to resist when this is a big hit of box office. Now comes your primary trouble, where to get it? I know DVDs are the convenient way but what will you do with the scratches, your DVD has got just after two-three shots and when watching your favorite movie once is never enough. I am truly fed up of the thing when a thrilling scene is on and you can’t see what happened in the last moment because the picture became fragmented along with clittering sounds and you drop the idea to watch it anymore. So I have a worthy stuff for you guys here. Let’s download the Wall-E here.

Is your kid really gifted? Probably not

Did your child walk and talk early? Does she have a brain like a sponge? Scribble magnificently? Love learning? Ask questions that leave you marveling (and scrambling to Google an answer)?

Wow, clearly she's a genius!

Or, um, maybe not.

The vast majority of children are not gifted. Only 2 to 5 percent of kids fit the bill, by various estimates. Of those,

clipper's remarks: Within a particular cultural system, you always have to entertain second opinions from interested parties. It is not a contraversial statement that Stalin was evil, internationally. However! In Russia there are still many invested in Stalin and Nationalism who will try to rationalize it.

Similarly, internationally, it is not a controversial statement that Bush was a monstrous, hostile, and unjust President. But in America there will people that will argue and try to justify torture and persecution that Bush perpetrated.

An apologist is an apologist. If we cannot take responsibility for our own moral lapses, how can we possibly find our moral compass?

People who refuse to look beyond their narrow world view discredit themselves.

Since execution often took place in the basements of the militia HQ, bodies were buried not too far away. He said trenches were made into which the bodies of the "enemies of the state" were dumped and covered with lime, then another layer of bodies was placed and the procedure repeated.
When we asked grandfather how he felt about doing his work, he only repeated that they were "enemies of the state" and he thought what they did was right.

What does nationalism have to do with it? They stoked patriotism, which is different.

The truth is that Stalin is far from being the cannibal that he is portrayed asby many historians. And the archives confirm this.
Nobody denies the fact of repressions but that was a necessary step in a country that was getting close to the war with Germany

How To Think

clipper's remarks: With the internet saturating ever deeper into our busy lives, humans are navigating uncharted informational and attentional waters these days. MIT neuroengineer, Ed Boyden, put together these rules of thumb to managing brain resources in an age of complexity.

7. Make your mistakes quickly. You may mess things up on the first try, but do it fast, and then move on. Document what led to the error so that you learn what to recognize, and then move on. Get the mistakes out of the way. As Shakespeare put it, "Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt."

(Via Kottke.)

1. Synthesize new ideas constantly. Never read passively. Annotate, model, think, and synthesize while you read

2. Learn how to learn (rapidly). One of the most important talents for the 21st century is the ability to learn almost anything instantly, so cultivate this talent.

3. Work backward from your goal. Or else you may never get there. If you work forward, you may invent something profound--or you might not.

4. Always have a long-term plan. Even if you change it every day. The act of making the plan alone is worth it.

6. Collaborate.

8. As you develop skills, write up best-practices protocols. That way, when you return to something you've done, you can make it routine. Instinctualize conscious control.

9. Document everything obsessively. If you don't record it, it may never have an impact on the world.

10. Keep it simple. If it looks like something hard to engineer, it probably is. If you can spend two days thinking of ways to make it 10 times simpler, do it.

it's a wicked cool design for a knife holder and certainly a lot more edgy than the standard old block of wood. We're not sure who the designer might have been thinking of when he created this but we definitely like the results. And it includes five knives!.

This unique artistic knife holder is made of heavy duty ABS plastic and will be the talk of the party! It's an innovative knife suspension system with individual protective knife sleeves for each blade. The five knives are made from heavy gauge durable stainless steel. The slots are magnetized to secure knives in the holder. Overall, we'd say The Ex Knife Set is very cutting edge!
