[monochrom] Will Biology Solve the Universe?
For years, scientists have tried to develop a universal theory of everything. Steven Hawking predicts that such a theory will be discovered in the next 20 years. A new theory asserts that biology, not physics, will be the key to unlocking the deepest mysteries of the universe, such as quantum mechanics. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/medtech/0,72910-0.html?tw=wn_index_1Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/03/will-biology-solve-universe.htmmonochrom at 3/09/2007 01:29:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
[monochrom] Early Christianity's Martyrdom Debate
Princeton University's Elaine Pagels is about the nearest thing there is to a superstar in the realm of Christian history scholarship. It is largely through her work that many understand the early non-Orthodox Christianity that she at one point dubbed (and later un-dubbed, finding the term imprecise) the Gnostic Gospels. She breaks new ground with the debut of Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity, her collaboration with Harvard Divinity scholar Karen King about the second-century Gospel of Judas that was made public last year. http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1596991,00.htmlLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/03/early-christianitys-martyrdom-debate.htmmonochrom at 3/09/2007 01:35:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] Water Flows on Mars? Not So Fast...
Signs of recent liquid water on Mars may have instead been caused by mini-avalanches of dirt. In December, NASA released photos of Martian gullies that showed enigmatic tracks of material suddenly appearing in the last five years. Researchers interpreted the deposits as having possibly come from trickling water. The problem with that theory is that such features can be reproduced in the lab by letting small particles slide away, says granular materials researcher Troy Shinbrot of Rutgers University. You find that every single thing that geologists say, 'Ah, that means there's water,' you can duplicate, says Shinbrot, who described his research on sliding grains at this week's meeting of the American Physical Society here. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleid=2416C32F-E7F2-99DF-3F24FCD6F039D5D1Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/03/water-flows-on-mars-not-so-fast.htmmonochrom at 3/06/2007 12:39:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
[monochrom] Intellectual seekers in the notorious Tenderloin, San Francisco
John-Ivan Palmer writes about the Tenderloin in SF. Late one night in the Tenderloin, 1968, my girlfriend (if you could call her that) was talking to one of her topless-bottomless dancing friends at an unlicensed bottle club deceptively called Coffee Ron. I ignored the riffraff staring at me for reading a book. Suddenly three men pulled a gun on the manager, and beat up the bartender who tried to intervene. Panic, screaming. My two lady escorts rushed behind me for protection. I held the Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism (1947) over my chest in an equally absurd attempt to protect myself from bullets. It was horrible what happened next. The manager, a naive ex-prize fighter named Gene Echols, was beaten almost to death. In the hospital for weeks. Of course no one called the police, and when they asked questions afterward, no one talked. This was a typical night in the Tenderloin shortly after the Summer of Love. Around the time I was living in that black hole, a San Francisco journalist wrote, The Tenderloin seems overwhelming and eternal and no one can really say for sure what is happening within its sprawling reaches. As close as most people got was reading about it in the paper - salacious stories of sordid sex, thug wars, and murder. Having lived there, I can tell you it was indeed a horrific place. But the cost of living was cheap. http://www.nthposition.com/intellectualseekers.phpLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/03/intellectual-seekers-in-notorious.htmmonochrom at 3/05/2007 01:44:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
[monochrom] Physicists reveal water's secrets in journal 'Science'
Equipped with high-speed computers and the laws of physics, scientists from the University of Delaware and Radboud University in the Netherlands have developed a new method to flush out the hidden properties of water--and without the need for painstaking laboratory experiments. Their new first-principle simulation of water molecules--based exclusively on quantum physics laws and utilizing no experimental data--will aid science and industry in a broad range of applications, from biological investigations of protein folding and other life processes, to the design of the next generation of power plants. http://www.udel.edu/PR/UDaily/2007/mar/water030207.htmlLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/03/physicists-reveal-waters-secrets-in.htmmonochrom at 3/05/2007 01:52:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] Dig Deeper To Find Martian Life
A UCL-led study has found that probes designed to find life on Mars do not drill deep enough to find the living cells that scientists believe may exist well below the surface. Although current drills may find essential tell-tale signs that life once existed on Mars, cellular life could not survive the radiation levels for long enough any closer to the surface of Mars than a few metres deep - beyond the reach of even state-of-the-art drills. Lead author Mr Lewis Dartnell said: Finding hints that life once existed â proteins, DNA fragments or fossils - would be a major discovery in itself, but the Holy Grail for astrobiologists is finding a living cell that we can warm up, feed nutrients and reawaken for studying. It just isn't plausible that dormant life is still surviving in the near-subsurface of Mars - within the first couple of metres below the surface in the facce of the ionizing radiation field. Finding life on Mars depends on liquid water surfacing on Mars, but the last time liquid water was widespread on Mars was billions of years ago. Even the hardiest cells we know of could not possibly survive the cosmic radiation levels near the surface of Mars for that long. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/news-articles/0701/07013001Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/02/dig-deeper-to-find-martian-life.htmmonochrom at 2/01/2007 04:45:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

International Year Of Polytheism Powered by monochrom --- http://www.monochrom.at/polytheism/ --- http://www.monochrom.at/free-bariumnitrate/ - FREE BARIUMNITRATE! A fireball sacrifice, burning like 10.000 sparklers The International Year Of Polytheism (powered by monochrom) wants to overcome the epoch of the monotheistic worldviews (and its derivatives such as The West and The Arab World) through the reconstruction of a polytheistic multiplicity in which countless gods and goddesses will eventually neutralize each other. Polytheism is democracy, Monotheism a dictatorship, even in its pseudo-secular form. The symbolic liberation of Barium Nitrate signalled the opening of this International Year of Polytheism (January 26, 2007. Symposion Lindabrunn, Lindabrunn, Lower Austria). We ignited 10.000 bound sparklers, free of any judaeo-christian intent. Nothing but a wonderfully powerful fire signal, whose representational vacuity and lack of otherwise traditional symbolic meaning woke some of the ignoble gods exiled by monotheistic McKinseyism. We welcome the gods back from their second-class beyond(s).

[monochrom] The Forgotten American Dead: Rural America Pays the President's Price in Iraq
Quote: When we hear about the American dead in Iraq, we normally learn about the circumstances in which they died. Last Saturday, for instance, was, for American troops, the third bloodiest day since the Bush administration launched its invasion in March 2003 -- 27 of them died. Twelve went down in a Blackhawk helicopter over Diyala Province, probably hit by a shoulder-fired missile. Five died under somewhat surprising and mysterious circumstances. They were attacked in a supposedly secure facility in the Shiite city of Karbala by gunmen who, despite their telltale beards, were dressed to imitate American soldiers and managed to drive through city checkpoints in exceedingly official-looking armored SUVs. They could, of course, have been members of Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army, but were probably Sunni insurgents from a neighboring province. The rest of the Americans in that total died as a result of roadside bombs (IEDs) around Baghdad or fighting with Sunni insurgents, mainly in al-Anbar Province. The Pentagon announcements on which such news is based are usually terse in the extreme. The totals, 29 dead for the weekend (as well as hundreds of Iraqis), did, however, become major TV and front-page news around the country. http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=15ItemID=11971Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/forgotten-american-dead-rural-america.htmmonochrom at 1/28/2007 11:20:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] No Consolation For Kalashnikov
John Forge considers the moral dilemma of the weapons designer. Here is the dilemma: Weapons research produces in the first place not guns, bombs, bullets and planes and the various command, control and communications hardware and software needed to use these things, but plans, blueprints and designs knowledge and know-how. Unless these useful plans are lost or destroyed, they can be implemented or instantiated many times over, and thus project unforeseen into the future. The AK 47 design, as opposed to the individual weapons, wont wear out; and providing the materials and skills are available, they can be made at any time in the future. The weapons design with the most longevity that I know of is the onager, the one-armed catapult used at the siege of Syracuse under the direction of Archimedes in 212 BCE and invented some centuries earlier. Aficionados still build onagers from the original plans. Now suppose that J, a weapons researcher, designs a weapon because her country is in dire threat from a wicked invader: there are many examples of this, from Archimedes to Watson-Watt the inventor of radar, and beyond. But when the emergency has passed and there is no longer just cause for using the weapon, J's invention is used in other circumstances which she does not condone, such as an unjust war. There is a moral dilemma here for the following reasons. I assume that J is a moral person and hence does not want to do harm unless she has sufficient justification. The imminent likelihood that an aggressor will destroy her family, country and way of life is surely sufficient justification. But the weapon design persists into the future, and once out of J's control can be used for unjustifiable harms. What should J do? And is this really a general problem, or one that only worries Kalashnikov? http://www.philosophynow.org/issue59/59forge.htmLink posted by http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/no-consolation-for-kalashnikov.htmjohannes, Tuesday, January 23, 2007 ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] FREE BARIUMNITRATE (26. Januar 2007)
FREE BARIUMNITRATE! Ein Opferfeuerball aus 10.000 Wunderkerzen Opening Event des Internationalen Jahres des Polytheismus (powered by monochrom) 26. Januar 2007 Symposion Lindabrunn http://www.monochrom.at/free-bariumnitrate/ http://www.monochrom.at/polytheism/ Die chemische Verbindung Bariumnitrat bildet die Grundlage für die so genannte Wunderkerze. Sie ist in verschiedenen monotheistischen Ritualen gebunden, gewissermaßen also unfrei. In Österreich zum Beispiel als fester Bestandteil des Weihnachtsfestes, an dem sich die Geburt des angeblichen Gottesohnes Jesus Christus jähren soll, weshalb man/frau meint Sternspritzer entzünden zu müssen. Desgleichen in Großbritannien, wo Wunderkerzen (sparklers) zur Guy Fawkes Night abbrennen, in der die Niederschlagung eines römisch-katholischen Komplotts gegen den König als obersten Repräsentanten der anglikanischen Kirche (1605) gefeiert wird. In den USA wiederum gehören sie zum Ritualbestand des 4. Julis, bei dem sich die nur scheinbar säkulare Nation in religiöser Manier ihres metaphysischen Grundes in der christlich-abendländischen (Werte-)Gemeinschaft versichert. Bariumnitrat steht damit stellvertretend für alle SignifikantInnen, die in den Sinndiktaturen der großen monotheistischen Weltreligionen ausgebeutet und versklavt werden. Das internationale Jahr des Polytheismus (powered by monochrom) will die weltgeschichtliche Epoche des mit sich selbst konkurrierenden Monotheismus (und seiner Derivate wie der freie Westen oder die arabische Welt) überwinden durch die Wiedergewinnung einer polytheistischen Vielfalt, in dem sich die zahllosen Götter und Göttinnen selbst neutralisieren können bzw. den Überblick verlieren. Polytheismus ist Demokratie, Monotheismus bleibt Diktatur, selbst in seiner pseudo-säkularen Form. Die symbolische Befreiung des Oxidationsmaterials soll dieses Jahr, das am 26. Januar 2007 beginnt, eröffnen.

[monochrom] Shotgun Sequencing Slime And Life On Other Planets
Scientists have identified tiny nanoorganisms, which are virtually impossible to see beneath the microscope, in a Californian mine. The discovery may have important implications in the search for life on other planets. Quote: For 11 years, Jill Banfield at the University of California, Berkeley, has collected and studied the microbes that slime the floors of mines and convert iron to acid, a common source of stream pollution around the world. Imagine her surprise, then, when research scientist Brett Baker discovered three new microbes living amidst the bacteria she thought she knew well. All three were so small - the size of large viruses - as to be virtually invisible under a microscope, and belonged to a totally new phylum of Archaea, microorganisms that have been around for billions of years. http://www.astrobio.net/news/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=2214mode=threadorder=0thold=0Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/shotgun-sequencing-slime.htmmonochrom at 1/22/2007 10:47:00 AM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] Teaching Science to Biblical Literalists
By Alvin M. Saperstein. Intro: I have taught introductory astronomy and physical science for many years. I also teach courses on the application of science to world affairs: the impact of war and technology on the historical development of human society (and vice versa) as well as the war between man and nature. I explore the historical development of the sciences as well as the scientific view of the evolutionary nature of the universe and its inhabitants. In recent years, I have noted an increasing number of students who are uncomfortable with, or actually object to, such evolutionary paradigms. They state, or hint, that they accept the Bible literally as a historical and scientific text. They believe that fixed biological species were created, together with the earth and its universe, some six thousand years ago. How can I teach these biblical literalists while respecting them and others in my classes and remaining true to the requirements of scientific and educational professionalism and the needs of modern society? http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=57ItemID=11911Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/teaching-science-to-biblical.htmmonochrom at 1/21/2007 09:58:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
[monochrom] monochrom: FREE BARIuarUMNITRATE (26. Januar 2007)
FREE BARIUMNITRATE! Ein Opferfeuerball aus 10.000 Wunderkerzen Opening Event des Internationalen Jahres des Polytheismus (powered by monochrom) 26. Januar 2007 Symposion Lindabrunn Die chemische Verbindung Bariumnitrat bildet die Grundlage für die so genannte Wunderkerze. Sie ist in verschiedenen monotheistischen Ritualen gebunden, gewissermaßen also unfrei. In Österreich zum Beispiel als fester Bestandteil des Weihnachtsfestes, an dem sich die Geburt des angeblichen Gottesohnes Jesus Christus jähren soll, weshalb man/frau meint Sternspritzer entzünden zu müssen. Desgleichen in Großbritannien, wo Wunderkerzen (sparklers) zur Guy Fawkes Night abbrennen, in der die Niederschlagung eines römisch-katholischen Komplotts gegen den König als obersten Repräsentanten der anglikanischen Kirche (1605) gefeiert wird. In den USA wiederum gehören sie zum Ritualbestand des 4. Julis, ab dem sich die nur scheinbar säkulare Nation in religiöser Manier ihres metaphysischen Grundes in der christlich-abendländischen (Werte-)Gemeinschaft versichert. Bariumnitrat steht damit stellvertretend für alle SignifikantInnen, die in den Sinndiktaturen der großen monotheistischen Weltreligionen ausgebeutet und versklavt werden. Das internationale Jahr des Polytheismus (powered by monochrom) will die weltgeschichtliche Epoche des mit sich selbst konkurrierenden Monotheismus (und seiner Derivate wie der freie Westen oder die arabische Welt) überwinden durch die Wiedergewinnung einer polytheistischen Vielfalt, in dem sich die zahllosen Götter und Göttinnen selbst neutralisieren können bzw. den Überblick verlieren. Polytheismus ist Demokratie, Monotheismus bleibt Diktatur, selbst in seiner pseudo-säkularen Form. Die symbolische Befreiung des Oxidationsmaterials soll dieses Jahr, das am 26. Januar 2007 beginnt, eröffnen. Wir wollen zu diesem Zweck mit Ihnen zusammen 10.000 gebündelte Wunderkerzen anzünden, und zwar ohne christliche und abendländische Hintergedanken (wie Lobpreis, Brauch, Demut oder André Heller).

[monochrom] The True Beauty Of The Parking Lot Of An Aamp;P
Learning From Miami: An Architectural Guide to Coping With Urban Sprawl Quote: It was at Yale in 1968 that Venturi and a small group of professors and students first unleashed their ideas on the academic world. Theirs was a two-pronged aesthetic diatribe, both a scathing criticism of modern architecture and a promotion of roadside American architecture, specifically the commercial strip. It all began as a university lecture called A Significance For AP Parking Lots, in which Venturi calls the huge parking lot fronting any less significant building ...the greatest evolution of vast space since Versailles. Later, the lecture was expanded into a formal written manifesto, Venturi's infamous masterwork Learning From Las Vegas (1972). Venturi still designs architecture today: He recently proposed the addition of the largest clock face in the world to the top of the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. http://www.hermenaut.com/a171.shtmlLink -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/true-beauty-of-parking-lot-of-ap.htmmonochrom at 1/20/2007 04:05:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
[monochrom] The 100 Worst Martial Arts Movie Names
Quote: Martial arts films have a proud history of unusual naming practices. For one thing, it's not uncommon for a film to have a ridiculous number of different titles. Take for example Jackie Chan's Police Story 4 according to the IMDb it is also known (in English) as First Strike, Jackie Chan's First Strike, Police Story 4: First Strike, Police Story 4: Piece of Cake, Police Story 4: Story of the CIA, and Story of the CIA. [...] After trawling through thousands of pages on IMDb, I have compiled what I believe to be the 100 worst martial arts movie names in existence. Some of these titles are just one of the many a film is known by. But that still means that somewhere at some time, these films were marketed under these names. http://www.karateparty.org/content/view/526/30/Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/100-worst-martial-arts-movie-names.htmmonochrom at 1/20/2007 03:59:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] Reservoir Dogs: Redemption in a Postmodern World
By Mark T. Conard. Tarantino's characters find that their redemption depends on whether there is a meaning to the word. An excerpt from The Philosophy of Neo-Noir. Intro: Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), and Kill Bill (both volumes: 2003, 2004) are arguably the most successful (and I would say important) of the four full-length feature films that Quentin Tarantino has directed. And each is more or less explicitly about redemption. Further, Tarantino is widely recognized as a quintessentially postmodern neo-noir filmmaker. His films are postmodern in the artistic sense, insofar as they are, for example, blends of genres and highly allusive. But they're also postmodern in terms of the underlying epistemology and the position on morality and values that they take. That is, they reflect a postmodern sensibility about our ability (or lack thereof) to know and understand the world and about the value and significance (or lack thereof) that our lives and actions have. I argue here that this postmodern sensibility undermines the characters' attempts at redemption in the films. That is to say, in a postmodern world, such as the one depicted in Tarantino's films, there can be no such thing as redemption. While I include discussions of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, the arguments below focus primarily on Reservoir Dogs. http://metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=489_0_2_0_MLink -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/reservoir-dogs-redemption-in.htmmonochrom at 1/20/2007 04:17:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] How the Body Shapes the Way We Think
How the Body Shapes the Way We Think - A New View of Intelligence By Rolf Pfeifer and Josh C. Bongard Foreword by Rodney Brooks How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment--in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies. This crucial notion of embodiment underlies fundamental changes in the field of artificial intelligence over the past two decades, and Pfeifer and Bongard use the basic methodology of artificial intelligence--understanding by building--to describe their insights. If we understand how to design and build intelligent systems, they reason, we will better understand intelligence in general. In accessible, nontechnical language, and using many examples, they introduce the basic concepts by building on recent developments in robotics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology to outline a possible theory of intelligence. They illustrate applications of such a theory in ubiquitous computing, business and management, and the psychology of human memory. Embodied intelligence, as described by Pfeifer and Bongard, has important implications for our understanding of both natural and artificial intelligence. http://www.amazon.de/How-Body-Shapes-Way-Think/dp/0262162393Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/how-body-shapes-way-we-think.htmmonochrom at 1/19/2007 05:24:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

It has also been immensely popular with book clubs, library organizations and the like. Translated into thirty-two languages, it has remained on the New York Times bestseller list for over two years. Clearly, it offers a message that 'resonates' for a significant portion of the US and world reading publics. As a choice for incoming first-year studentts, Nafisi's book seems compelling because, as a reviewer from the New York Times is quoted on the cover as saying, it is an 'eloquent brief on the transformative powers of fiction'. But what kind of reading practices is the book describing and encouraging, and what reading practices are being declared significant intellectual engagements with literature, and with Iran, in this positioning of Nafisi's book? http://www.radicalphilosophy.com/default.asp?channel_id=2187editorial_id=23276Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/reading-lolita-in-tehran-in.htmmonochrom at 1/12/2007 01:40:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
[monochrom] Canadian coins bugged, U.S. security agency says
Quote: Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turnned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Department of Defence. Security experts believe the miniature devices could be used to track the movements of defence industry personnel dealing in sensitive military technology. [...] You might want to know where the individual is going, what meetings the individual might be having and, above all, with whom, said David Harris, a former CSIS officer who consults on security matters. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/01/10/rfid-defence.htmlLink -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2007/01/canadian-coins-bugged-us-security.htmmonochrom at 1/11/2007 10:15:00 AM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

A Book About Language, With No Phoneme Unturne: How Language Works... The established view has been that these languages evolve independently and each is unique, whether they are based on English or Danish. But Mr. Crystal says that modern research strongly suggests that all these languages derive from a 15th-century Portuguese pidgin. As the Portuguese explored Asia, Africa and the Americas, this prototypical pidgin spread, and the syntax remained in place as words changed to adapt to other languages. But there is still evidence of that old Portuguese pidgin. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/18/books/18dick.html?_r=1ref=artsoref=sloginLink -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2006/12/book-about-language-with-no-phoneme.htmmonochrom at 12/18/2006 02:47:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

[monochrom] Freud's Will to Power
Freud's Will to Power: Intro: Legend has it that Freud, although educated in the philosophies of his day, studiously avoided the work of Nietzsche to preserve the originality of his ideas against external influence. Nietzsche's analysis of the human psyche, how values were supposedly projections of people's unspoken jealousies and fears, ran dangerously close to Freud's idea (still a work in progress at the end of the 19th century) that the roots of conscious behavior lay in unconscious desires. But after reading Dr. Peter Kramer's outstanding new biography of Freud (HarperCollins, 213 pages, $21.95), one wonders if Freud feared something else, not influence but self-knowledge, for Dr. Kramer's Freud is practically the living embodiment of Nietzsche's will to power. It's not simply that Freud was incredibly ambitious. (At age four, after soiling a chair, he reassured his mother that he would grow up to be a great man and buy her another.) Rather, it was Freud's determination to systematize the world, to bring order to chaos, and to impose his theory of life on life itself a determination sso intense that one of Freud's colleagues called it a psychical need. http://www.nysun.com/pf.php?id=44305Link -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2006/12/freuds-will-to-powerlegend-has-it-that.htmmonochrom at 12/01/2006 11:58:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

Between a hectic work schedule and a thriving social life, Yves (not his real name), a 31- year-old software developer from Seattle, often doesn't have time for a full night's sleep. So he swallows something to make sure he doesn't need one. If I take a dose just before I go to bed, I can wake up after 4 or 5 hours and feel refreshed, he says. The alarm goes off and I'm like, let's go! Yves is talking about modafinil, a stimulant that since its launch seven years ago has acquired a near-mythical reputation for wiring you awake without the jitters, euphoria and eventual crash that come after caffeine or amphetamines. Yves has been popping modafinil on and off for the past three years and says it is tremendously useful. I find I can be very productive at work, he says. I'm more organised and more motivated.

[monochrom] My God Problem
My God Problem: By Natalie Angier. Intro: So, on the issue of mainstream monotheistic religions and the irrationality behind many of religion's core tenets, scientists often set aside their skewers, their snark, and their impatient demand for proof, and instead don the calming cardigan of a a kiddie-show host on public television. They reassure the public that religion and science are not at odds with one another, but rather that they represent separate magisteria, in the words of the formerly alive and even more formerly scrappy Stephen Jay Gould. Nobody is going to ask people to give up their faith, their belief in an everlasting soul accompanied by an immortal memory of every soccer game their kids won, every moment they spent playing fetch with the dog. Nobody is going to mock you for your religious beliefs. Well, we might if you base your life decisions on the advice of a Ouija board; but if you want to believe that someday you'll be seated at a celestial banquet with your long-dead father to your right and Jane Austen to your left-and that she'll want to talk to you for another hundred million years or morethat's your private reliquary, and we're not here to jimmy the lock. http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/angier06/angier06_index.htmlLink -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2006/11/my-god-problemso-on-issue-of.htmmonochrom at 11/22/2006 12:15:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch

Ideology Has Consequences: Bush rejects the politics of prudence: Quote: Many Republicans must feel like that legendary man at the bar on the Titanic. Watching the iceberg slide by outside a porthole, he remarked, I asked for ice. But this is too much. Republicans voted for a Republican and got George W. Bush, but his Republican Party is unrecognizable as the party we have known. Recall the Eisenhower Republican Party. Eisenhower, a thoroughgoing realist, was one of the most successful presidents of the 20th century. So was the prudential Reagan, wary of using military force. Nixon would have been a good secretary of state, but emotionally wounded and suspicious, he was not suited to the presidency. Yet he, too, with Henry Kissinger, was a realist. George W. Bush represents a huge swing away from such traditional conservative Republicanism. http://www.amconmag.com/2006/2006_11_20/article.htmlLink -- Posted by johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2006/11/ideology-has-consequences-bush-rejects.htmmonochrom at 11/19/2006 01:22:00 PM ___ Bagasch mailing list Bagasch@net-works.at http://service.net-works.at:8080/mailman/listinfo/bagasch
