  1. Hi Troy, Things are well, the readings are picking up. Kids are well. And I'm in a relationship.
  2. He has working on the bomb, with the other giants of physics. The said in a room full of smart guys he's a really smart guy. One if the things he said was he developed a really good toolkit. And he could think of q problem from basic principles. Kind of like reverse the formulae for electricity are the inverse of magnetism.
  3. There's a few books on Feynman and a DVD.
  4. Happy Saturnalia
  5. What's interesting about the bible is how much it is a copy of Persian , Hebrew and Egyptian stories. Which Christians seem unaware.
  6. I think you can substitute science and people do the sane thing. I think context is important. Otherwise you can misinterpret what is said and not be aware of your error.
  7. 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.
  8. We propose further that what is left behind is more the result of subjective choice than reasoned analysis. Science does not systematically disprove occult theses; as a general rule, it freely elects not to consider them.
  9. I wouldn't mind reading about Bozo's extracurricular activities.
  10. Troy what about that cafe reminded you of Starbucks
  11. Alice Walker and Tracie Chsoman also had a café in Fort Greene.
  12. 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.
  13. Troy I think the current media is pandering to the lowest denominator.
  14. Cynique I think you ate on the money. Troy the genre us called Black Exploitation. That says it all. Perhaps it is a difference if degree
  15. It's similar to the controversy around the Superfly movie. Dime say it glorified drug dealing, some say it is a story about redemption I think it is both depending on your perspective.
  16. Scientific facts are useful. What is the point of life. Audible math, I like the sound of it. I am reading a book. Science, Religion and Myth and the shaping of Western Thought
  17. Mathematics may be more if a symbolic language. That defines relationship. Interestingly enough some if the set theory people question whether math is s science.
  18. 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.
  19. Great Review Cynique
  20. Yes it is called mathematics. Mist fields are belief systems. I guess for me I wouldn't put cultural mores in the same field as scientific opinion. Actually that is not consistent with what I said earlier.
  21. 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.
  22. If you live in a war zone you are not likely to delay gratification.
  23. Pioneer - I found out last week. Although I am not sure. My Astrology teacher says I am a psychic, and my light worker friends says I am a clairvoyant.
  24. My point is that I ad am individual do not want yo day what id right for others. And since I am not part of the judicial or executive branch I feel no need to do so.
