clipper's remarks: PRAISE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY OF WAR.
"Throughout our history' the impetus to using force sometimes has seemed as inevitable as water circling an open drain, but war is not always the best way to defend our security interests. Eugene Jarecki examines the evolution of America's views about war,up through the invasion of Iraq.He knows how to ask the important questions, and he keeps asking until he gets the answers. This is the kind of insightful dialogue that can help ensure that when we act, we act not of fear, but are grounded in confidence in our ideals"
- Senator Patric Leahy -

The Universal Collective Unconscious and the Metaphysical Utopia

The term 'Collective Unconscious' may also be interchangeable with the following terms; Chaotic Void, Universal Intelligence, Cosmos, Nature, Will, Eternal Stream of Unconscious, God-mind, Human Energy Field, Primal Energy, God, Infinite mind, Universal mind, Implicate Order, the Dialectical Whole, the Yin and the Yang and UCU. All of these terms are metaphors created to provide an expression for the Whole from which we, all species, matter and abstract entities come from, are part of and always will be a part of whether consciously or unconsciously. Language itself, which this thesis and all theses, ideas and human communication come from is merely the UCU expressing itself. Humanity is the UCU or implicate universal mind realizing itself in its highest form of evolution.

Jurassic Start: Fossil Pushes Tyrannosaurs' Origin Back 10 Million Years

clipper's remarks: Proceratosaurus was quite small compared with T. rex but it extends the tyrannosauroid group further back to the middle Jurassic, farther than any other known fossil

Tyrannosaurus rex and its relatives were North America's dominant predators in the late Cretaceous period, about 99 million to 65 million years ago, but a new analysis of a toothy fossil skull suggests that the early history of this group includes smaller meat-eating ancestors that date as far back as 170 million years ago.

The skull belongs to the only known specimen of Proceratosaurus, which now represents the oldest known relative of T. rex and its cousins, extending the evolutionary history of tyrannosaurs back to the middle of the Jurassic period

The analysis shows a close evolutionary relationship among Proceratosaurus, which was found in England, and other recently described tyrannosauroids found in China, including Guanlong, a 160-million-year-old feathered specimen described in 2006

"The fact is that [Proceratosaurus] puts a new time frame on the evolution of more derived theropod dinosaurs," Milner says.

Gallese: Gewiss. Doch indem wir weitreichende Ziele verfolgen, machen wir uns diese Aussicht erträglich. Als der Kaiser von China den Bau der Großen Mauer befahl, wusste er genau, dass er die Fertigstellung nie erleben würde. Trotzdem verwendete er auf dieses Unternehmen all seine Kraft. Denn in den Gehirnen späterer Generationen leben wir fort. Auch das ist eine Art Resonanz.

clipper's remarks: Are you looking for an award-winning architect to design your new home in Asheville, North Carolina using sustainable design principles? Asheville Architect, Samsel Architects, P.A., has an excellent track record and promises to exceed your expectations. To see some of their work that merges the architectural tradition of early 20th Century design with a modern interpretation, check out their portfolio and read about the firm here.

Clip Source: samselarchitects.com

Every design - whether set in the heart of downtown or in a rugged mountain landscape - draws on the special character of our region as well as the individual features of the project site. Western North Carolina's historic influences from afar produced a wealth of early 20th Century design which we continue to find inspiring. While we appreciate design from earlier times, we are careful to avoid mimicking history. We view the merging of architectural tradition with modern interpretation as a natural design evolution. Our designs become a new language of aesthetic, form and detail.

Forrester recognizes that the past five years of Social Media evolution have focused on growth and adoption, but anticipates that the next stage of advancement is dedicated to improving social functionality. I would also add personalization and portability. The biggest opportunity for the expansion of social networks is to build bridges between these isolated islands to deliver a more fulfilling, meaningful and productive experience. As I see it, we will start to see a the social web not as a collection of distributed islands, but as one greater collective better known as a human network – a contextual and relationship-based network that consists of like-minded individuals no matter where their profile resides.

Is Intelligence Sexy?

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:22:39 GMT

clipped by: abailart
clipper's remarks: <<<Many traits in many species have evolved through sexual selection specifically to function as fitness indicators that reveal good genes and good health. Sexually selected fitness indicators typically show (1) higher coefficients of phenotypic and genetic variation than survival traits, (2) at least moderate genetic heritabilities and (3) positive correlations with many aspects of an animal's general condition, including body size, body symmetry, parasite resistance, longevity and freedom from deleterious mutations. These diagnostic criteria also appear to describe human intelligence (the g factor).>>> (from abstract).

So then, is there some sort of mirror neuron circuitry in the brain that excites a cortical g spot?

Clip Source: www3.interscience.wiley.com

during human evolution, mate choice by both sexes focused increasingly on intelligence as a major heritable component of biological fitness. Many human-specific behaviours (such as conversation, music production, artistic ability and humour) may have evolved principally to advertise intelligence during courtship. Though these mental adaptations may be modular at the level of psychological functioning, their efficiencies may be tightly intercorrelated because they still tap into common genetic and neurophysiological variables associated with fitness itself. Although the g factor (like the superordinate factor of fitness itself) probably exists in all animal species, humans evolved an unusually high degree of interest in assessing each other's intelligence during courtship and other social interactions

The Evolution of belief?

The Evolution of Belief?

Christians and other religious adherents oftentimes claim that the universal tendency to believe in God is itself evidence for God’s existence, what I will call the Argument from the Prevalence of Religion. Where else does such a predisposition come from? In every corner of the globe and every span of human history, belief in God, immortality, and salvation have occupied the human mind. This makes a good deal of sense if God has purposely created us with a tendency to believe, but atheists have no plausible explanation for the origin, development, and thriving of religion.

The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor.

This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.

‘Ardi’ predates Lucy by a million years, changes scientific view of origins

By Randolph E. Schmid

updated 7:23 p.m. ET, Thurs., Oct . 1, 2009

WASHINGTON - The story of humankind is reaching back another million years with the discovery of “Ardi,” a hominid who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia.

The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor.

This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.

Rather than humans evolving from an ancient chimplike creature, the new find provides evidence that chimps and humans evolved from some long-ago common ancestor — but each evolved and changed separately along the way.

Male orders hymen

When a Chinese company made artificial hymens available to the Middle East it caused uproar in Egypt. I just had to buy one

As a member of the XY tribe, evolution has spared me of one anatomically useless little membrane; and of course, my virginity, as a male, is of little interest to society. For women, however, it is frequently a very different matter.

Recently, news of a $15 Chinese-made artificial hymen sent ripples across the Egyptian media and blogosphere. China has been manufacturing this very same product for years, but it was an advertisement for a Chinese company offering shipping into the Middle East that started the discussion here in Cairo.
