Pocono Fall Fun!

By -
Autumn is hitting the Poconos. The leaves are beginning to turn, and today I saw my first turkey in months. (Why do they show up just before Thanksgiving? Are they asking to be eaten? And where were they the last few months?)

In honor of the season, here are some fun Pocono activities:

1) Find the cub!
Hide a bear cub somewhere in your house, then see if the mother bear can guess which room it's in!

2) Find the tooth!
See that guy with the plaid shirt and three-foot long beard at the end of the biker bar? You just know he's got a tooth in that mouth somewhere, because you just saw him chewing some jerky. But where, but where?

3) Find the Democrat!
Somewhere in the town you're in, there's undoubtedly an Obama supporter lurking in some health food store or yoga clinic. But can you identify him/her on the first try?

UPDATE: As I post this, I see Wabulon is way ahead of me and has arrived at winter already!

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
