Need a break from Rossi madness? Slow slide into crazy? Do you know about the "Mental illness happy hour"?
Well those guys have learned that co-mingling wry humor (or rye humor, if after 5) with pathological science is a good place to start. To that end, here is an unauthorized episode. Start with a provocative science story, not quite pathological yet - and take it from there... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45230351/ns/technology_and_science-science/ "The brain requires about 22 times as much energy to run as the equivalent in muscle tissue. The energy required ... comes from the food we eat. Human brains are three times larger than our closest living relative, the chimpanzee... but the two species have the same metabolic rate....This extra energy must be coming from somewhere." The so-called "Expensive Tissue Hypothesis" (ETH) of the authors tries to answer that, but of course, you will not find LENR or any alternative energy hypothesis considered. After all, they have to protect their phongna-balogna jobs. (as recipients of liberal largess) However, moving further down the slow slide into pathology -- if one suspects that some version of f/H (fractional hydrogen) could be partially involved (in human evolution) to boost the energy level of a standard diet - whether it involves the Mills' hydrino or an alternative hypothesis, then there is a place to search for answers. Look at the role of chemicals in the brain which have been associated with gainful systems in alternative energy, and cross-compare that with evolution and diet of proto-humans. Kind of a positive feedback loop. In this category, a prime suspect would be potassium. And the best fit in the periodic table for a Mills catalyst that does not require a plasma or 3 body reaction, is molybdenum. Molybdenum cofactor is an enzyme intimately associated with neurochemistry. Can we connect the dots? Not really but, speaking of evolution in the context of splitting-off from the line of the aforementioned chimpanzee ... with the realization that a top dietary source of potassium is bananas. Bananas made apes what they are today, so to speak, but there were more choices on the horizon. Voila... we now have our pathological rationale for the 'out of Africa' migrations. They were not an effect of advancing mentality - but instead were partially the cause (dietary cause). A search for more and better f/H catalysts. Say James, when is the BBC going to revive "Connections"? Anyway, it could be coincidental but hominids really started to evolve rapidly, especially in the cultural context, when they learned about the other prime potassium sources: figs, dates, raisins, apricots, melons and wine. Generally these source thrive further north than ape country. Matter-of-fact: figs, dates, raisins, apricots, melons and wine ... sounds coincidentally like happy hour at a mid-Eastern restaurant, no? Is it five yet? Jones
