This is pretty neat.

    That screen that said "Loading page" for five minutes was really cool.

    Gene, you have to look at that screen in a special way: look in the direction of the phrase, but look through it as opposed to at it, and let your eyes sort of go off on their own. You will see the entire corpus of written human literature, and if you do this for a while with a pure heart, you will understand all that you see, even in languages that you see for the first time. Note that this vision will include the literature that has not yet come to be, in the languages that have not yet been written to carry human thought.

    At first, all I saw (and all I see today) is a screen that says "EBoosBoos / Loading Page..."

    But now I have viewed it as per the adavice of my master, Wabulon... and it is pretty neat, seen that way.

Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas --  unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

By -
 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
