"Get yourself a good book and perform a ceremony to protect yourself. Any book by Silverravenwolf will do the job. Good luck."



Quoted from the forum. Whenever someone uses the words 'good book' to describe anything by Silver Ravenwolf, it makes me want to facepalm.







The only time 'good book' should ever be used to describe Silver Ravenwolf is when saying:



"Silver Ravenwolf has never written a good book."



"That is a good book. It was not written by Silver Ravenwolf"



"Silver Ravenwolf's work sucks. You should go find a good book (emphasis necessary)."



"Silver Ravenwolf is filthy rich because people are under the impression that she's ever written a good book."

I always appreciate feedback on my entries, but specifically, I wanted to emphasize something: I'm by no means an expert in just about anything I write about, and no one should be taking every bit that I write unquestioningly (I certainly hope no one does). If anyone notices something that I've gotten wrong, anything inaccurate, or something I've overlooked, by all means, tell me. Do your own research, read up on something. Prove me wrong. It's good for everyone if you can refute an idea properly.

This morning, my little sister pushed me over the edge with this Twilight bullshit, and that inspired me to finally put this vampire thing to rest in the minds of anyone who reads this (and still thinks that immortal vampires could exist).



I'm tired of seeing people who say they are interested in vampires and obsessed with the idea that they might exist. Shut the hell up before you infect me with your stupid. There are no such things as immortal vampires, and I'll explain why with a few easy steps:



1. This is the least likely choice, since no novel ever treats vampires as alive: If vampires are alive and immortal, why do they drink blood? Do they have superior strength? Speed? Anything that defies the logical bounds of the human body? Even with none of these obviously impossible superiorities, there's still the idea of immortality.



The human body ages because of one or more of 7 processes:

Too few cells

Too many cells (cancer)

Chromosomal mutations (dna corruption)

Mitochondrial mutations (another type of dna corruption)

Junk inside cells

Junk outside cells

Protein crosslinking outside of cells



Quoted from http://jwbats.blogspot.com/2006/01/quest-for-immortality.html



Given that every multicellular organism (with 2 sets of chromosomes, to cover our bases) dies. Never has there been uncovered a creature that if left up to nature will remain healthy and alive indefinitely. The DNA becomes corrupted over time, as well as the mutation of existing cells (which happens several times throughout your lifetime). The sad fact of the matter is, every living thing (with the possible exception of certain bacteria in suspended animation) will die. Our second reason deals with the more commonly dealt-with idea.



2. If vampires are non-living (be it dead or 'undead'), then there are a few questions I'd like answered: how do the muscles work without the constant flow of blood? Why doesn't the tissue undergo the natural processes of necrosis when the cells cease to regenerate? How is speech and the suction of blood possible without functioning lungs to force air across the vocal cords or to suck it in to draw blood? I'm not even going to go into the Twilight concepts, as they're just blatantly absurd.



I could go into more detail if I really did any research (aside from the causes of aging. lol), but it's just not that important to me. If you still think that immortality is possible in spite of all the evidence I've just presented to the contrary, then you'd better have some pretty good answers to any and all of my questions. Otherwise, it's time to throw away your foolish ideals and start living in reality and appreciate the universe for the wonder that it REALLY is...

I am not entirely sure we agree on much but this is one thing I can fully agree with. Immortality is something that violates not just the laws of nature but the rules of entropy as well. It just can't happen.



On the point of cellular division and DNA/rDNA etc copying one might think of it this way:



If you take a recording of a song (be it cd or especially tape cassettes) and you make a copy that new copy will have minuet differences. You the copy and make another copy (repeat) you'll notice greater and greater errors until the recording is so flawed it breaks down. The same can be said for cells and genetic codes.

The closing post for the 'Psychic Ability or What?' thread pissed me off more than anything I've read in quite some time:



Psychic ability or what?

Posted: 19:34:10 - Dec 20 2008

Times viewed: 2



Scientifically speaking the possibility of a person to be telepathic exists. I personally believe in universalism and that we are all connected. If you research the idea of vibration you will find that it has been proven that all mater exists with its own vibration and there are definitively sensitive to those vibrations. Another form of telepathy is empathy, which has been independantly proven on many occasions. People with no prior knowlage of an event in an area have shown to be able to describe the event in detail. So thought projection or reading is along the same lines in that it is reading the waveform of the vibration or process their thoughts at a vibration that is close enough to others that they pick it up.



to get started if interested in researching this idea look for the dvd "What The Bleep Do We Know" with Marlee Matlin in it.



Laz





Let me break this down into fragments so I can show, point by point, why his statement is a pile of shit.



Scientifically speaking the possibility of a person to be telepathic exists. I personally believe in universalism and that we are all connected.



The words "scientifically speaking" mean nothing here. The possibility for a lot of things exist. That doesn't mean the idea is more valid than previously mentioned, scientifically verifiable (and might I add, actually plausible) explanations for the same phenomenon. Oh, and following a statement about science and then following it with "I personally believe" is a huge contradiction. There is no science involved in a spiritual belief.



If you research the idea of vibration you will find that it has been proven that all mater exists with its own vibration and there are definitively sensitive to those vibrations.



The concept you're looking for (since entrainment has nothing to do with "all matter") is Superstring Theory or M-Theory. They describe matter as being composed of ultra-microscopic, 1-dimensional strings (depending on which theory, it may also include 2- and 3-dimensional membranes as well) whose frequency of vibration determines its properties. While this theory may be the most viable explanation for the universe, it is far from proven, as is most science. Saying something (especially theoretical physics) is proven demonstrates a lack of understanding thereof. There is nothing, in this theory or any other scientifically verified theory, that suggests that people are sensitive to these vibrations (aside from observing the results of said vibrations). The two concepts are completely unrelated.



Another form of telepathy is empathy, which has been independantly proven on many occasions. People with no prior knowlage of an event in an area have shown to be able to describe the event in detail.



From a metaphysical perspective, telepathy and empathy are related. The rest of this is purely blind assertion. "Independently proven" generally indicates that the results of whatever test was performed were not submitted to peer review nor were they published in any major scientific journal. These would be groundbreaking discoveries, yet we never hear about them. Coincidence? No. I'd also like to mention that the event he goes on to describe here is not empathy, and therefore has nothing to do with his previous statement. What he has described is remote viewing, and it too has never been scientifically verified.



So thought projection or reading is along the same lines in that it is reading the waveform of the vibration or process their thoughts at a vibration that is close enough to others that they pick it up.



This is similar to the description of entrainment, but the idea has been bastardized for reasons which we'll get to in a sec...



to get started if interested in researching this idea look for the dvd "What The Bleep Do We Know" with Marlee Matlin in it.



And here's where we get to the reasons behind this shitty reasoning. The movie, What the Bleep Do We Know, was a hit when it came out. The problem is, it's not very scientific, and it presents a lot of pseudo-scientific speculation as truth. It basically used the same logical fallacies that Creationists use, but used more advanced (and more confusing) scientific concepts to look impressive while spewing their bullshit. The linked title will send you to the wikipedia article that, I think, sums up the movie quite well. To see some of the cited sources and critiques of the film, check out:



This,

This one especially,

This,

This,

and finally This.



Don't go see the movie unless you have a compelling urge to wipe your ass with a 10-dollar bill. That is, after all, essentially what you'd be doing. Most importantly, don't listen to people who spout bullshit while pretending it's science. Do your own investigations, and learn to look at the positive AND negative reviews for any movie or book you read. You'll catch on a lot quicker to who's really telling the truth.

Quote: Relationships are like asylums..........you have to be committed to them.



Has anyone else seen a quote like this (a comparison using one semantic similarity between two otherwise unrelated concepts) and thought, "what the fuck are you talking about?"



In this case specifically, the comparison is between relationships and asylums (obviously). The comparison uses the word "committed". The word "commit" in the context of a relationship best fits the definitions:




3. to pledge (oneself) to a position on an issue or question; express (one's intention, feeling, etc.): Asked if he was a candidate, he refused to commit himself.

4. to bind or obligate, as by pledge or assurance; pledge: to commit oneself to a promise; to be committed to a course of action.



Now, the word in the context of an asylum is best defined as:



7. to consign to custody: to commit a delinquent to a reformatory.

8. to place in a mental institution or hospital by or as if by legal authority: He was committed on the certificate of two psychiatrists.



Now it become clear that the definition of "committed" is entirely different for the two concepts being compared. We can find any number of trivial similarities between the two, but that doesn't make them similar at all. I know the comparison is supposed to be witty and/or comical, but sometimes it just irritates me...

This was the unnamed person's response to my message in the entry below:





"Now please, I still moderately respect you, but if you're just going to spout baseless conspiracy theories at me without first doing a bit of real investigation, don't waste your time."



Really, there is no need for such overly personal statement. It cheapens one as an individual. Actually the sort and the nature of your statement clearly shows you have not really understood what I wrote about, but you misinterpreted and twisted it, by associating numerous of untruthful contexts with what I wrote, interpreted it from a very small limited perspective, which shows that its mind still aint ready to understand the actual truth about the world in which it lives, a mind to which its own perception is limitation, be cause it is living in a box, a designed box, being fed false information, and with that is denying the elementary truths, no matter how obvious they are.



I sincerely believe you are the one which needs to do more proper real investigation be cause the level of your current understanding clearly shows you cannot possibly know these things.



I appreciate what you wrote, it was an enjoyable discussion while it lasted, and it is very correct, starting from a lower level of understanding, but the reality in which we live is far far more complex than what your current beliefs are.



I suggest more reading.



In one thing you were correct when saying respect is irrelevant. What really matters is the ability to exchange correct observation and information about our environment, which should have their valid base, and from which both you are not capable of offering.





Dude, that last shred of respect I had for you is gone now. First you want to spout conspiracies like they're based in any sort of fact or reasoning, then you accuse ME of being small-minded and poor in understanding? Fuck that. You've proven yourself to be beyond help. I'm not going to have anything to do with it.

I won't say who this is from, but I've been having a conversation for the past few days with another member, and today I got this message:



Everything you say is correct, and I do agree with all of it, but it is all much more complex than that. It is not just that simple the way you see it now. Scientists do study only for their personal gain, and infect for their personal gain only as well. Just ask your self, what about those scientists that designed the HIV in the first place? What about those scientists which use nasty viruses like polio, and HIV, to destroy other nations, or to boost up the economy in their own country, by spreading such viruses through water and air, viciously promoting it as natural causes? What about those which "enriched" our water with chemicals, telling to the not knowing and ever buisy society how it is good for their health, when it is actually very bad, causing numerous illnesses, and destroying body and the mind to that point where it cant recognize anything anymore, but continues pushing blindly in only one way, the designed one, thinking that it is its own choice, because it is not capable to see better anymore thanks to level of the destruction that has been caused to its systems. What about those scientists which destroyed our immune systems in the first place vaccinating us from birth with a cocktail of specially designed chemicals, so we cant defend our selves naturally anymore against anything(viruses like polio or HIV are a piece of cake for a healthy non damaged human immune system), but be addicted to the same "medicines" that are represented as good for us, but are in reality making us only weaker(influencing our minds by altering our bodies), and easier to control and direct according to the idea of the few, those that hold money precious over the human life, over its connection to everything, over its natural grace, and over its capability to evolve, be cause they are degenerated them selves so they are spreading such degenerated ideas and expressions as technology on all the others. There is functionality in the idea of technology and all that it can give to humanity, and when observed it seems to be very useful and the best right thing that ever happened to humanity, but it is not, it is a trap. It is slowly depriving a human from his natural grace, and that is the capability to evolve together parallel with nature. I am not talking some hippy bullshit, living in a forest with animals, sunshine and shit, but about our true nature which is far more functional and glorious from what ever we can imagine now in our current state of divided mind and consciousness. It is that technology and medicine chemicals twisted our reasoning and the way we as humans interact, see and think about our environment. It means to be one with universal energies. It means a complete freedom of ones senses and perception. It means true awareness. But you cant perceive all that if your systems have been polluted and destroyed by "inventions" such as medicine and technology, which are all together only good at deviating our thoughts from the right way. That is why technology, or medicine, are a conspiracy, made to cripple our graceful capabilities, so we can be easily shaped in the idea of those which see us a a tool which can be used to accomplish their own ideas, and which are not noble or pure in any way, but ways of a global empire. It is always the domination of the human process, thought, which has been the only motivation to the creation of all these "useful" inventions, and which are being applied through years in the most vicious way, represented as good for us, depriving us slowly. Internet is only one besides many ways which are doing excellent job in controlling what exactly human mind should know, how much, and with that how should it exactly act. Other ways are fast food, TV, video games, the sex market, ect ect... It is all having such unimaginably detrimental effect on our beings, and all that with purpose.



In short, the idea world of technology and marvelous invention seems to be good only to those which have been already crippled and destroyed by its ways, so they need this prosthesis and which is technology and medicine, be cause it has crippled them enough already, and they are not capable of vision, or walk, with out it, but what they cant see is the vacuous nature of its artifice, which is its true nature, and with that they are being crippled further, and further.



To be capable of understanding this idea, and ones environment better with that, one first needs to learn how to envision the idea of god first, and which is not something very big as imagined by the disabled minds of the many, but it is simply how the things are for each of us, freedom, awareness. This idea of god is being perceived with disbelief in many minds out of that reason which naively accepted the degeneration as its own ways, own nature, degeneration such as technology.



Use the brain not the computer, surf the innernet, not the internet. And that is what opens the massive doors of light which bring all those unlimited possibilities of expression, which are above material, or time, they are the creational energies.



That exactly what technology gave to us, it cut us off from the universal energies, and we never even noticed that, for the benefit of a few degenerated minds, which know only the meaning of money and domination over what they see as masses.





If anyone has the patience to read this, they should easily be able to pick out the glaring lies and bullshit conspiracy theories that have been in circulation for quite some time.



Here's what I replied:






See, I've grown tired of conspiracy theories over the years. It comes with a greater understanding of medicine, the human condition, and the scientific method. I'll address your rather long-winded post point by point, as it'll be easier for me to organize my thoughts.



Firstly, scientists did not develop HIV in a lab. It jumped species from chimpanzees to humans. Chimpanzees suffer from Simian Immunodeficiency Virus. Either by blood contamination or other means (hopefully someone didn't fuck a chimp), it jumped to humans. The virus, like ALL viruses, evolves. That's why there's a different flu vaccine every year. They take a sample of the virus from the year before and make the vaccine from it, because the virus will have changed too much for the previous year's vaccine to be effective enough. And polio was cured my medical scientists. Not created by them.



The 'chemicals in our water' that you speak of, obviously being chlorine and flouride, are only bad for you in quantities MUCH GREATER than what you could possibly consume at any given time. If I remember correctly, you'd have to drink 60 gallons of water in one sitting to suffer the effects of flouride poisoning, and it takes a similar amount to suffer ill effects from chlorine. Flouride, in the amount given in our water supplies (I might add, this only applies to city water. Out in the country, we have electric wells), is beneficial to our bones and teeth. Name one illness that has come from the 'chemicals' in our water supply.



The vaccines given to us at birth prevent us from catching fatal diseases while our immune systems are still developing. Why do you think the infant mortality rate is so much lower in developed countries? Would you rather we lived like Angola or Chad, where only about 75% of the children will survive past the age of 5? These vaccines boost our immune system so we're not left up to the cruel devices of natural selection. Humanity has largely removed itself from survival of the fittest AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. If the human race wants to evolve, like you claim, then we'd have to let 30, 40, 50% of our world's population be decimated by disease, mutation, and injury. Claiming that the medical community is making us weaker disgusts me. Would you rather everyone who catches pneumonia, cancer, etc. DIED? Can you be that heartless? I know this isn't that 'hippy bullshit'. It's pure bullshit. These diseases and mutations were not caused by the medical community. They are caused by the natural mutation of genes.



There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to bring 'god' into anyone's life. 'God' is the reasoning behind the greatest atrocities in mankind's history. 'God' promotes ignorance and conspiracy. 'God' is the reason 50% of the US (not including the scientific community) rejects evolution and believes the earth is less than 10,000 years old. 'God' is the explanation people use when they're too fucking lazy to look for the real answers. The universe is wonderful and dazzling enough without bringing a fictional entity into the equation, and it's no wonder that IQ and religious conviction are inversely proportional.



The brain is faulty. Human beings are not perfect. Our perceptions are pathetically limited and faulty. There is nothing about us that can best a finely-tuned machine. A good friend brought up a wonderful point about the brain, and specifically the "third eye" chakrah. DMT, the most potent hallucinogen in the world, is secreted in the pineal gland, the long-known center of the "third eye". The mind has incredible power to deceive us. Subjective experience is the OPPOSITE of what we need to look for. The only thing we can trust is objective, empirical evidence. Empirical evidence cannot lie. Your perceptions can, and very often do, lie.



Technology gave us the opportunity to truly understand the universe, and it's people spouting baseless conspiracy theories that are attempting to drag us back into the Dark Ages. Our perceptions are what caused us to believe in a flat earth, a geo-centric universe, and led us to ritual human sacrifice in order to appease an angry god who didn't exist. It is technology that allows us to better our society. If it weren't for technology, and the medicines that resulted from them, the world would be one great big third-world country.



Now please, I still moderately respect you, but if you're just going to spout baseless conspiracy theories at me without first doing a bit of real investigation, don't waste your time.



Am I wrong in any of this? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who knows half of this shit. This is the reason I get so pissed when people refuse to learn. They end up spouting bullshit like this person did, and I have to be subjected to it.

Something interesting to note: our super viruses/bacteria have been caused by the use of anti-biotics by morons. I say this because while MD's have given out the RX for the medicine, the stupid public would DEMAND them for the cold/flu and then stop taking them when they felt better. Um the problem with that, is that the doseages and time lines given for antibiotics are determined by what bacteria they are trying to kill. They give you a dose and amount of time that typically will rid your body ENTIRELY of the bacteria- however when taken only unti you feel better, some of the bacteria can survive and then mutates...



how's that for consipiracy? It's our own fault so many things have gotten to the point that they have. sheesh.

This too is brilliant! Everything you said is so true. Esp about god....god is also the reason that everything is a sin-imagine if everything wasn't a sin. There'd be less rape if people were to understand that sex is sacred. If prostitution were legal, men would be better of in many ways. If people took responsibility for their actions rather than hiding behind a "devil" or "god", things would be much different. I'm just gonna stop here, this isn't meant to be a rant...

Reasoning 101

Times Read: 983


This has been an ongoing issue, but I've only felt strongly enough about it to post because of a recent discussion.



If someone points out the flaws in your reasoning, it is not an attack on your opinion. The forum is not a free-for-all. The only way for a discussion to be productive is if there is an active exchange of ideas. This does not mean that people should just state their opinions and leave others' ideas alone. If someone says something that is demonstrably wrong, then there is nothing wrong with demonstrating why it is wrong. This is how we learn, people. If your hypothesis is flawed, then you should be welcoming someone to demonstrate why, and then you should take steps to modify it.



Quite frankly, if your reasoning can so easily be "made to look ridiculous," then it is ridiculous. Stating the same reason behind your opinion even after it has been shown to be flawed, obviously you're not thinking the idea all the way through. If you can't then provide further reasoning to demonstrate why your idea is indeed valid, then to put it simply, YOUR IDEA IS NOT VALID! If you say that something is a dog because it has fur and four legs, but I say it is a horse because it also has hooves, a saddle and a rider, you must provide more evidence to back up your original assertion that it is a dog. Otherwise, your reasoning is faulty, and you are indeed WRONG in your assertion. This is not an attack, it's the process of learning. This is not a new concept, people.

Veiled Mockery on VR is a topic in the forum regarding mockery and insults among VR members and how to deal with it. While browsing the posts, I came across one written by ImageMaker:



mockery, abuse, combatitiveness, I don't know sometimes I swat back, but mostly I just ignore it. To the point where a certain person's increadibly long winded posts are never even read by my me. How "beastly" of me.



This really pissed me off. Ordinarily, I don't have much problem with her or her posts, but this struck me as the pinnacle of hypocrisy. Since when is opposing someone's viewpoint a form of mockery, abuse, or even combativeness?! If your views are valid, then fucking back them up! Ignoring the opposition is the most ignorant tactic anyone could ever use. It's like saying, "I believe the world is the center of the universe, and I don't care how much evidence you provide to the contrary, because I'm not going to read it. I'm going to continue to state what I believe because my opinions are above criticism." Fuck that. You're not a goddamn victim here. If you had facts or studies to back up your claims, you'd post them. When someone provides a case that undermines your unfounded convictions, it's not an attack on your beliefs. What's funny about this though, is that she "veiled" an insult directly at Beastt17 in the thread about veiled insults!



There was also a post she wrote in the Past life Curiosity topic that was along the same lines:




Well as with so many of the threads on this site it seems someone feels the need to wage a one man war against all things he does not believe in.



There is no "war" against things he (Beastt17, I presume) doesn't believe in. It is not, and never has been, combative to state (factually, I might add) that something has never been confirmed. I've never once seen a single post where he actually mocked or attacked a belief. Is it wrong to want to find a valid physical explanation for phenomena that have been deemed "supernatural"? Indeed, people have been doing it for thousands of years, and it has always been attacked by the religious establishment. When it was first proposed that the Earth was not the center of the universe, when Darwin put forth his theory of Natural Selection, etc., these men were attacked and suppressed by religious establishments (Bruno being burned at the stake as a heretic stands out in my mind). I could accuse you of being combative towards science, ImageMaker, but that would be presumptuous of me.



In short, I guess what I'm trying to say is ImageMaker, and all those like her, should keep their conspiracy theories to their goddamned selves and debate like normal human beings.

Psychic ability or what?

Common understanding the psychology or psych or psychic science is related to human psych.



which is the outcome of mind force-intellact-and the spirit in celestial and the soul.

And according to this common understanding ha-ha all the basic big laws are borrowed from psychic and spiritual science such as law of cause and effect as newton's third law which is frm ancient times is known as law of karma.

law of relativity, even the distance calculating formulation too is taken from ppsychic science by which man would able to send its vehicle to the moon or the mars and beyond frontiers.

thanks god that still law of chaos sparedd from psychic science to materialistic science.

The psych is the major subject and the one of most important field among five most important fields of human life is explained in spiritual science in VEdas earlier from ancient times. science is only born out come baby of just only 6-7 centuries and it was earlier under the cover of psychic science in western such as alchemy etc.



human psychic field is refered as cover of mind force to the soul, one of five covers explained in hinduism. (Manomay Kosha)





Its institute in modern Universities and still peepal don't liek to accept it as major subject, why? I don't know.



They are standing again the ancient scales of institutions to grow upon in htat line and division one by one.





I bet that within 50 years the psychic science the world's peepal will accept as equallant to other sciences. The things are going on. the human psych is the base of progress of each science. And most important is the conscious. when it lead, everything is controlled.











http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic



The word psychic (pronounced /ˈsaɪkɨk/; from the Greek psychikos—"of the soul, mental") refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the normal senses through what is described as extra-sensory perception, or to those people said to have such abilities. It is also used to refer to theatrical performers who use techniques such as prestidigitation and cold reading to produce the appearance of such abilities.







http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic_ability









[edit] Early psychical research



American psychologist and philosopher William James (1842–1910) was an early psychical researcher.The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) was founded in London in 1882. The formation of the SPR was the first systematic effort to organize scientists and scholars for a critical and sustained investigation of paranormal phenomena. The early membership of the SPR included philosophers, scholars, scientists, educators and politicians, such as Henry Sidgwick, Arthur Balfour, William Crookes, Rufus Osgood Mason and Charles Richet.[16]



The SPR classified its subjects of study into several areas: telepathy, hypnotism, Reichenbach's phenomena, apparitions, haunts, and the physical aspects of Spiritualism such as table-tilting and the appearance of matter from unknown sources, otherwise known as materialization. One of the first collaborative efforts of the SPR was its Census of Hallucinations, which researched apparitional experiences and hallucinations in the sane. The census was the Society's first attempt at a statistical evaluation of paranormal phenomena, and the resulting publication in 1886, Phantasms of the Living is still widely referenced in parapsychological literature today. The SPR became the model for similar societies in other European countries and the United States during the late 19th century. Largely due to the support of psychologist William James, the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) opened its doors in New York City in 1885.[17]



Today, the SPR and ASPR continue the investigation of psi phenomena. The SPR's purpose is stated in every issue of its Journal—being "to examine without prejudice or prepossession and in a scientific spirit those faculties of man, real or supposed, which appear to be inexplicable on any generally recognized hypothesis."[18]





[edit] Rhine era

In 1911, Stanford University became the first academic institution in the United States to study extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK) in a laboratory setting. The effort was headed by psychologist John Edgar Coover. In 1930, Duke University became the second major U.S. academic institution to engage in the critical study of ESP and psychokinesis in the laboratory. Under the guidance of psychologist William McDougall, and with the help of others in the department—including psychologists Karl Zener, Joseph B. Rhine, and Louisa E. Rhine—laboratory ESP experiments using volunteer subjects from the undergraduate student body began. As opposed to the approaches of psychical research, which generally sought qualitative evidence for paranormal phenomena, the experiments at Duke University proffered a quantitative, statistical approach using cards and dice. As a consequence of the ESP experiments at Duke, standard laboratory procedures for the testing of ESP developed and came to be adopted by interested researchers throughout the world.[17]



The publication of J.B. Rhine's book, New Frontiers of the Mind (1937) brought the laboratory's findings to the general public. In his book, Rhine popularized the word "parapsychology," which psychologist Max Dessoir had coined over 40 years earlier, to describe the research conducted at Duke. Rhine also founded an autonomous Parapsychology Laboratory within Duke and started the Journal of Parapsychology, which he co-edited with McDougall.[17]



The parapsychology experiments at Duke evoked much criticism from academic psychologists who challenged the concepts and evidence of ESP. Rhine and his colleagues attempted to address these criticisms through new experiments, articles, and books, and summarized the state of the criticism along with their responses in the book Extra-Sensory Perception After Sixty Years.[19]



The administration of Duke grew less sympathetic to parapsychology, and after Rhine's retirement in 1965 parapsychological links with the university were broken. Rhine later established the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man (FRNM) and the Institute for Parapsychology as a successor to the Duke laboratory.[17] In 1995, the centenary of Rhine's birth, the FRNM was renamed the Rhine Research Center. Today, the Rhine Research Center is a parapsychology research unit, stating that it "aims to improve the human condition by creating a scientific understanding of those abilities and sensitivities that appear to transcend the ordinary limits of space and time."[20]

And here's what I replied with:





Psychic ability or what?

I'll start this one...



First of all, science does not deal with the supernatural. Anything that cannot be tested cannot be dealt with by science, and will never be science. These may be offered in major universities, but that doesn't make it any more legitimate than theology as a science.



Newton's Third Law of Thermodynamics deals with the impossibility of a system reaching absolute zero and works in conjunction with his Second Law, which deals with entropy and the tendency of heat to naturally travel to an area with less of it (in simple terms). What this has to do with karma I cannot imagine.



Science is not the "baby" of spiritualism, but more accurately its replacement. Primitive interpretations were gradually replaced with more accurate (and more importantly, testable) principles. Funny you should bring up Alchemy, because as developments were made in the field of chemistry and metallurgy, alchemy was rendered wholly obsolete.



I'll take your bet, as psychic studies can never become science, as it deals with things that cannot be tested and therefore can never be submitted to testing or peer review, and can therefore never be considered legitimate science. What would happen instead, is as developments were made in REAL science, and a physical understanding of psychic phenomena was gained, the term "psychic" would in turn be rendered obsolete, as the esoteric and non-physical explanations would no longer be necessary to understand how they worked.



Skipping over your unnecessary copy/paste of a wiki article, we come to your obvious quote-mining:



Albert Einstein Quotes

(more fun)



"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is a miracle."



Not knowing the context, one could surmise that this indicates that Einstein believed in miracles in the supernatural sense, which he didn't.



"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."



Again, taken out of context. What he was likely hinting at was that the common understanding of reality (aka universal concepts of space and time) were only an illusion, but were indeed persistent to human senses.



"The only real valuable thing is intuition."



Taken out of context... again.



"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts."



These are getting annoying. You're using out-of-context quotes to make it seem like Einstein felt people should ignore rationality and look to the supernatural.



"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish."



Einstein is commonly misrepresented using this type of quote. He didn't believe in a personal god, and thought the idea was laughable. He used the term "god" to describe the harmony and beauty of nature and the universe, allegorically at best.



"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."



See above reply.



"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."



Taken out of context again, he wasn't criticizing education as a whole.



"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible."



Irrelevant.



"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."



Again, irrelevant AND out of context.



"The only source of knowledge is experience."



Out of context. (You see why quote-mining is a bad thing, right?)



"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."



Irrelevant.



"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree."



True, but once again, irrelevant.



"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."



Again true, but still irrelevant. Besides, Einstein didn't believe in a personal God.



"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."



"Sometimes one pays the most for the things one gets for nothing."



Both irrelevant. What, exactly, was the point of all these???

Raise your hand if a total stranger asked you to add them to your friends list. This isn't Myspace, and no one really gives a shit how many people are on your friends list. I personally don't add people unless it benefits me to know when they're online. This is the message I got a few minutes ago from username bludlust:



"wussup im new. you can tell cause my status calls me whelp. i wuz wonderin if u can add me 2 ur frends list "



I felt gracious today (shocking, I know), so I explained curtly yet politely why that was a stupid concept. Next time I probably won't be so kind...

Open-mindedness

12:57 Dec 10 2008
Times Read: 1,120


I'm getting really aggravated by people who think open-mindedness is accepting and acknowledging the supernatural. This is a blatant misuse and misrepresentation of the word. Here's what the dictionary had to say:



1. having or showing a mind receptive to new ideas or arguments.

2. unprejudiced; unbigoted; impartial.

3. Receptive to new and different ideas or the opinions of others.

4. ready to entertain new ideas; "an open-minded curiosity"; "open-minded impartiality"



I tend to lean towards the second definition. It encompasses all of the other definitions. The other important factor I wanted to point out is that open-mindedness doesn't require you to accept other people's views on a subject; just that you be receptive and ready to entertain their ideas. There is no active change of mind required here. It implies that you make your decisions based on objectivity, as I had said in the forum, and without being affected by personal prejudices, emotions, or expectations.



However, the only time I see this word being thrown around is by people who tout religion or spirituality and try to get you to follow them. If you refuse to believe in Jesus, despite the obvious lack of evidence, you're closed-minded. However, if they refuse to consider the idea the he's not real, they're not closed-minded. Closed-mindedness goes hand-in-hand with ignorance. If you aren't open to new ideas REGARDLESS of your own opinions, your learning is going to be greatly hindered.



This is why half of America believes that the Earth is just over 6000 years old, and was created in 6 24-hour days by some imaginary man in the sky. This is why evolution, a legitimate science with mountains of evidence to support it is in danger of being pushed out of science textbooks in the south, in favor of "intelligent design", a bastardized form of creationism. What the fuck is wrong with the world today???

Yes her post may have been less than interesting, and "whiny." But that's not really a reason to personally attack her, and to fling insults that have no relevance to the subject.



Maybe she's happy with the way she is. Maybe she doesn't want to try and fit into the Barbie mould.



This is just my opinion, I'm not trying to rail at anyone personally. Sorry if it seems that way.
