GENIUS FORUMS

You are just seeing white split up into lots of different outputs

No you're not, and that's my question. You should be seeing something that varies continuously because the frquencies vary continuously. But you see a small number of adjacent bands instead.

I certainly agree with you in the fact that it is more like a wave.

Or a spiral.

Okay, I'm veering from the topic which is what is the most interesting concept. But since you're talking about color, I have a question which I've thought about for some time and have never found a decent - or really any - explanation, and it concerns colors. "Color" is what we call what w...

But then this thread is Are Blacks Inferior to Whites?...

Meanwhile, their Indian kin, further up in the mountains, were all still fine. And of course, Brokenhead, if what you wanted was a national epidemic of faggots, what else would you try but raising the boys on food dosed with phyto-estrogen? So you conclude that women - feminists, no less - are resp...

Interesting topic for "Worldly Matters."

Because it's about the metaphysical concept called substance.

How is it different? Not to discourage rational inquiry, but it seems like you are reinventing the wheel here. "How about instead of wheels being round, we could make them circular?"

Why are you using the word substance and not the word matter?

And, the higher the middle class bankruptcy and foreclosure rates go, the higher the divorce rate. Smart young women see that while the mom is stuck with the kids, the sperm donors are not always there for support. And since they make more money than stud muffins anyway, it only makes sense for the...

With Bush's new urgent push for peace in the Middle East, I fear for Israel. We have never had a "head" of state so empty.

I do now.

It does not matter what we think now, and it wont matter much longer what the social scientists think about race as the kids of these smart women start getting their degrees and entering the power structure. Which they will take over. And they will be the ones who decide what should be done about r...

Didn't Australia make this year's "Top Ten Best Places to Live" list that just came out?

Pye wrote: I’ve often thought this problem similar to what happened to jazz once it got taken off the streets and put into university music programs. Knocked the life out of it, I think. Becomes a pattern instead of discovery/creation and even improvisation (as you will ironically note) is dissect...

Victor's incarnation as insufferably deluded dilettante needs to go. This egomaniacal wannabe pundit and his ersatz education have been spewing out neophytic drivel across the net for too long. Spin the karmic wheel! Hey, chill, pdude. You may disagree with vicdan, and I often do as I read these fo...

Can the sixth sense be described in terms of the other five? I don't see why not. Consider: most people would say they have experienced a "sixth" sense at some point. They might disagree on the details of the sensation, but so what? Two witnesses can and usually do disagree on something t...

Chris Rock routine: "Niggers love not to know... Books are like kryptonite to niggers. You want to hide some money in your house, hide it inside a book!" All I can say is, inferior in what way? Isn't it true that civilisation advanced further, faster outside Africa, where we think people h...

I misunderstood what was meant by the term "scientific." If it were altogether left out as a modifier on "models/theories," economic and even religious formalism would have come to my own mind. But I am less familiar with those, I admit.

Hittin' all the threads today... All of Tomas' list above, plus any vocal combinations of Ella, Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan. REM, Indigo Girls, Dolores O'Riordan makes my head spin with her "Go Your Own Way" cover with the Cranberries, why I just thought of that, I don't know. Grateful Dead, ...

A 1440 out 1600 on my SATs years ago is the only standardized number I have for myself. It's not genius but somewhere in the 90's percentile I would guess. I always did all my homework - and no extra - in high school, that was my secret. Methodical, mostly A's, not an original thought in my head to ...

Vicdan, as a perfect example, witness Henry G. Frankfurt's tiny tome On Bullshit.
Also from the noted professor emeritus from Princeton is On Truth. This latter is a more substantive work, having fully 34 more little pages than the former (101 vs. 67.)

Philosophaster wrote: There is a reason for this, which is that it's much easier to teach people how to make passably intelligent comments about art or philosophy done by somebody else than it is to teach them how to make good art or philosophy themselves; and generally most of the professors of art...

Steven Pinker’s The Blank Slate is a perfect example of the intellectual pond scum which Post Modern Humanities foster. Literally a ream of pages that says nothing. There is not one original thought in it, and it purports to be profound and ground-breaking. Here is a man who proudly proclaims that...

Hey Tomas way to go
I just tossed my breakfast scrolling down the link on the anal-retentive babies-are-not-eco-friendly people.
