  1. The chapter on Egypt is already interesting.

    " Living as we do at a time when science fixes so many things, one might insist that it can grant us an unbiased reflection of the past. The trouble is science nurtures its own biases. This is nor an indictment of science, just a recognition of its human origin and consequent fallibility.

  2. Would white youth be interested in buying music in which we; refereed to each other lovingly as and Brother and Sister; or if we spit rhymes about our long and glorious history in Africa and our achievements here in America despite great obstacles? Of course not. It is much more amusing for them to listen to use call each other Bi*ch and Ni**er. Needless to say there is no shortage of Negros willing to play the role. Our course there are many Black people who enjoy this garbage too, but that reflects an abnormal mental state.

  3. Troy you may find this surprising but I disagree with you. I worked with a white guy who is in his 20's and he loves Public Enemy and is up on Mos Def. Public Enemy toured Europe. On the flip side people here seem to like the fact that Selena Gomez sings and keeps her clothes on while doing so. I think Millie Jackson said it best. When she went to people's house she would see classical records in their living room but her records were in the bed room. Lowest common denominator sells. Which is why book stores are closing and iTunes is a major seller of music.

    At the moment there is still some hip hop with intelligence it just doesn't get a lot if airplay because the public doesn't want to hear it.

    A few years back I heard a track called beef and broccoli, and nu jack exterminator. Which were both intelligent and well crafted.

  4. Actually some mathematicians thinks math is created much like art and is basically a fiction of the mind. You can search the philosophy of mathematics, embodied mind theory etc.

     

    As for a s music you listing descriptors not expression. I am defining expression as essence. Music to me is an exprssion of a concept, thought or feeling. I am bot certain how those three items are different.

  5. In your response you said most people would agree so you could consider it universally true. This statement doesn't make sense. It's I'd like saying it id mostly universally true, or that's absolutely true most of the time.

    You could say I am being overly critical or you can tell me what dictionary you are using.

  6. This was my reply.

    Troy You said philosophy and science are mutually exclusive. i mentioned logic, which is both an element in science and philosophy. You have conveniently forgotten to answer that question.
    O had to look through two of my statistics books and two of Adtrological Research books, both of which use stastical analysis. What you have in your example is a binomial distribution. If you got those results. You would assume it wasn't a fair coin. While that wouldn't tell you anything about the population it would tell you something about that particular coin. I could tell you why your statement isn't valid but the fundamental errors show a lack if understanding about statistics and statistical analysis.
    Normally we disagree and I'll debate the point, but not in this instance.

    Troy if you are flipping a coin 1000 times you would only need two people two determine if there is a significant difference. What you are talking about here is am F test or F Distribution. In fact you could have ad fee as 100 coin tosses. So you would be wrong
    I could do this experiment with two people flipping a coin 100 times.
