Re: Vaccines: Friend of Foe?
Screw Wikipedia. ok. From: http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/homeo.html Many proponents claim that homeopathic products resemble vaccines because both provide a small stimulus that triggers an immune response. This comparison is not valid. The amounts of active ingredients in vaccin...

Consider these statements about UFOs: (1) While most UFO sightings can be explained fairly easily, there remains a few unexplained sightings by very credible witnesses. The best explanation for at least some of those sightings at the present time seems to be some extraterrestial being or craft. (2) ...

Re: Class Consciousness
I don't know much about Marx myself, but I encounter him a lot in my pursuits. Can you recommend a text by Marx? I studied Marx for two trimesters back in college, and I would have to say, no, don't read Marx. In economics, what Marx wrote that is good and meaningful is not original (can be found i...

Re: Vaccines: Friend of Foe?
Homeopathy, in principle, is sound reasoning. Holy shit, are you serious? Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution with shaking by forceful striking, which homeopaths term "succussion," after each dilution under the assumption that this increases the effect of the treatment. H...

Re: Experience: Brain/mind 'software' crash
I'm not 110% convinced that bipolar/psychosis can be pulled apart from stages of enlightenment. I believe that the individual undergoes various stages of awakening and their mind tries to make sense of that in as best it can at the time. This might be something of a clue about depression: Depressiv...

Re: Who are the genius?
I am speaking of genius, not scientist (although every genius must be a scientist in the highest sense). And, I would venture that philosopher without worldly knowledge is not a genius but a savant. Same for a worldly expert without philosophic (some might say spiritual). I agree with this - the ne...

Re: Super cheap energy and a new type of deflation.
Are you suggesting that people will use more energy if it becomes cheaper simply because they can? Yes, exactly. It seems to me that there are types of technology that are more efficient, and if people choose to use them, then their consumption levels go down because each person has a limit on what...

Re: Super cheap energy and a new type of deflation.
The computational power increases but is quickly filled to the brim with all kinds of application, with varying level of actual usage (meaning: contributing anything instead of just dissipating heat). That was the point, the extra computational power is used because it is there and is very cheap (c...

Re: Super cheap energy and a new type of deflation.
I would suspect that as electricity drops to pennies per kilowatt hour, It already does cost pennies per kWh. The average cost of residential electricity was 12¢/kWh (DOE) in the U.S. in April 2009. The average household used 936 kWh/mo. in 2007 (DOE) and would pay about $108 for it based on the Ap...
