This thread fills a much needed gap in the OL discussion. Bill P Wouldn't that make it an 'un-holey' quest?

http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keywo...=icb.page242685 This is the detailing of abstracts to be used in the conference, and the notions indicated behind considering 'liberty as a disease'... and, when the printed versions are released, one can then tear them apart as to their falsities...

Well, I found this here http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neur...eb3/Tucker.html And this here http://www.jeannesegal.com/eq/relationship..._evolution.html This would certainly make sense, in that life is a continual process of growth and the alternative is death - and with the mind being the most important aspect of being human, it would needs be that aspect with the most inducement to continued growth...

At the moment, I can only say I acquired knowing that view regarding language learning from reading some of Philip Jose Farmer's writings, where, as an appendage, there was science referents to substantiate this view, which he had used in the body of his writing [it was my understanding Farmer grounded his works, however 'off-the-wall', in firm science as it was known at the time]...

Only if exposed to it... and only within an early and short frame of time - if after that time, language cannot be achieved... and no, the being cannot on his/her own devise a language in the absence of a 'template', an example... the infant has a strong inducement to do this, yes, and in surviving, it is achieved, this language learning - but that does not mean there is not per se a choice which could have been made... mark, now, communicating is not language - chimps and others, for instance, communicate, but they do not have a language...

I agree she was mistaken about the emotions - they are innate in the newborn as a 'for me/ against me' , just as they are with all the higher animals, and from fundamentals of what the newborn endures in relating to the environment, are at that point the same respondings everywhere... but, from the point where the cognitive development is involved, it is parced, in increments, according to the degree of thinking done - and yes, you're quite correct, thinking or cognitating is in effect an automatic in that ALL living humans initially engage in it to some degree, as it is impossible not to in order to survive as a human [but i would add, I mentioned this stimulus/response bit as such in that it is at this point, the separation from the mother and womb, the organism on its own, that human life in terms of the brain consciously operating, begins - that organism life truly begins at birth]... my take on her viewing of all this has been her emphasis has always been on the person at the stage of being able to utilize the reasoning process and further on, that the initiating process was more or less negligible to her in comparison... the principles remain, tho the details err, in other words... This is one of the things I keep trying to emphasize about this mind business - the animal forecessoring needed to bring a continuousness to the development of living organism complexity which has [to the degree we know] ended at humans... we are overlays of earlier mind developments, and cannot fully grasp how we are until understanding how they are, and the influences tghey bring to the organism...

That is the stimulus/response initiation verification of life - of the activation of the mind on its own, separated from the 'assembly line' of the womb - nothing more, nothing less...

Biofeedback...

One could - and ought to - with equal verve establish a conference which entails that "Socialism is a Disease", with all the same inquiries shifted over to that shoe...

Ahh - the Psychiatric Association's dream......;-)

It is the February 27th issue of Science, but there does not seem an online version to peruse...

Rand had children - but they were memed, not gened...

well, at the rate things are going, ye might want to start growing fig trees - their leaves are big enough for when ye run out of paper... ROFL

rest assured, in her case it is kept in the basement... :ike: :yes:

We are all 'brothers in submission' is why - whether we want to be or not...

To blame the group for actions of individuals - that's tribalism, not individualism...

Mercantilism is not capitalism...

could always say President Hussein... or BO the Stinko

one should also do a cross comparison with Branden's lecture series...

And yet - the basic difference between Judaism/Christianity and Islam is that the former allows and always had for division of secular and religious ["render into Caesar..." is the most noted statement - and remember, Jesus was speaking to Jews as a Jew when he spoke this], the latter does not - there is no separation, and indeed, Islam, means 'submission' [to Allah]...

This is one of the best bedside or chairside books I've ever seen [and a worn copy resides on the side table]...

I doubt that good abstract art could be created by Objectivists who say that any child could do it. I've seen two of what appeared to be Objectivist (or Objectivish) attempts at mocking abstract art, and both were completely lacking in graphic rhythm, color coherence, value proportion, etc. J maybe, maybe not...

It was never intended to - that was all hype...

to the extent these ideas can be adapted to rolling homes, is of interest to me - as that is my idea of a home, one that is movable to wherever one wishes to go, yet expandable to cover the acquisitions of one's life...
