Hi All
I realized that I didn't laugh that much the second time I watched John
Cleese at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M-vnmejwXo
Is this because the dynamic pattern of the sketch is transformed into
static pattern? The healing power of an explanaton is thus lost when
served a second time and the price of last years models is more than
halfed. Truth is perishable and only valid once for the actual event and
the subject wherever it appears...

Hi Marsha,
Thanks for the Opinionater. Yes, scientific materialism. And then
there is the other side which claims just as righteously that the
brain cannot be extrapolated to the mind. Whatever the case,
psychology has been a good source of money for many, and keeps people
busy with explanations. There is no doubt that these "explanations"
have healing power for some, and therefore cannot be discounted.
There is also the evil side of psychology which is why I consider W.
James to have sold out just a bit.
What a conundrum, damned if we do, damned if we don't. Can't get a
fair shake in this world where we need to know. Who stole my cheese?
Cheers,
Mark
