<description><![CDATA[As the coordinator for a high powered intellectual think tank, I cannot believe how much poor thinking goes on with human beings somehow believing that that human intelligence will never be surpassed by artificial intelligence. To me it all sounds so "species centric" almost as if a collective denial of the technology and ethno-centric delusion. Okay so, let's talk about all this.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The greatest thing about writing philosophical articles is that you are thinking while you're writing, and often you will come to a new understanding in the process. Therefore, it makes sense to enjoy the process as you are compiling your thoughts and putting them into online articles. Now then, there are so many ways to structure philosophical articles, ones which will capture your reader's attention, and really get them to think.]]></description>

<title>I Think, Therefore I Don't Know Crap - Too Funny</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:59:02 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The other day, I was talking with a fellow philosopher about the famous quote by Decartes; "I Think Therefore, I Am." And in reasoning this, it appears that the gentleman may actually be incorrect, because he doesn't know if the thoughts in his head are really coming from him, or some from somewhere else, Decartes also does not know if those thoughts are voluntary, or predestined. Not that I'm a Calvinist or anything like that, however his blanket and absolute statement may not hold water.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Who makes a difference? It was a question that had been asked of a room, few of whose occupants I knew well. One of them thought that only evil men make a difference "because they change history." And another one said that "Discoverers make a difference. They may be the only ones who do."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Life, frankly, has to be more than existence; more important than death, isolation, meaning, and freedom. The fact that we are here for but a short time - in comparison to eternity - should stand as its own evidence. There is more to life than this life, and there is more to life than quality within this life.]]></description>

<pubDate>Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:32:46 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Are past period philosophers all that great, why do we put their heads on pedestals? Why do we call them pillars of intellectual prowess, and the wisest of their time, even present them as more enlightened that today's best and brightest? You see, I am most certain they were not, so I cannot agree with academia on these points, and yes, I read enough of past philosophy to understand the concepts and thoughts.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For Aristotle, soul has no shape and it is the form of matter. Soul is the capacity by which matter or body can perform certain activities like growth, decay, movement, nourishment, reproduction, perception and intellect. On the hierarchy of soul's functions, the rational soul that performs intellect is what lies on the top.]]></description>

<pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:45:35 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[In Arthur C Clarke's book 3001, he seems to talk about a new sort of religious divide. Rather than having many organized religions throughout the world, there were all reduced to two lines of thinking; those who believe in one God or no gods, and those who believed in one or more gods. This is an interesting philosophical question, and brings up some very good points.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[They say that office politics occur due to the innate characteristics of humans. I think I agree with that, and I also wonder if those who choose not to play for reasons of integrity, and decide that it is dishonest to backstab, and spread gossip - end up doing so at their own peril.

<description><![CDATA[Aristotle's politics begins with his study and comparison of a household and state. He uses observation, his scientific tool and examines how household, communities, states and other associations of humans come to being. Then he moves on taking into consideration different subjects like function of a state, slavery, women's role in nature, art of getting wealth and finally steps into his Book III of Politics.]]></description>

<title>Plato - Distinguishing Real From the Concrete in the Universe</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:38:48 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Before Plato, a few other philosophers had tried to explain the metaphysics of the universe and amongst them Parmenides, who thought everything is one, and Heraclitus, who thought everything is always changing, are important names. We find, as we read Plato, that it is hard to distinguish where Socrates' metaphysics ends and where Plato's start. Plato distinguishes the real from the concrete in the Universe and then constructs his Theory of Forms.]]></description>

How do you know all the people that you meet around you are real, how do you know that they are not merely characters in an elaborate virtual reality scenario? Yes, these are questions that philosophers have asked, and intelligent minds have pondered throughout the ages, and in this day and age of video games, and virtual reality, it appears a new type of philosophy is emerging.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, I was speaking with John Altmann the philosopher, and we were discussing the question of whether or not human beings are actually even capable of pure reason. Now then, this might sound silly, however when you consider that each individual is an accumulation of their experiences, their friends, their observations, their education, and all of their thoughts you can see where it might be nearly impossible for a human being to catch all that they know and operate in a place of pure reason without bias. In starting this conversation and dialogue, John asks a rather...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Perhaps, you've heard of John Altmann, and maybe you haven't yet, either way John is an up and coming philosopher and has already added a couple of philosophical thoughts to the modern human endeavor. John has reasoned in a rather elaborate allegory the concept of human beings in modern society as kernels of pop-corn within a micro-wave popcorn package whereby some of the minds have been turned on, learned to think, and blossomed into full-fledged popcorn, while others have failed to pop or expand their minds. He reasons that in human societies there will be some who never blossom...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[May I ask how it is possible with all the bright minds in this nation and all those in college right now, why on Earth they cannot come up with a breakthrough in philosophy - why it's as if their minds are trapped, but how can this be in the information age, where we should be at a point of unlimited thought?

<title>Where Is God: Are the Gaps Shrinking?</title>

<pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:22:42 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[As science expands it reach, one could argue that the gaps in which God can reside contract. That is not illogical, and prominent authors have written to that effect. God, however, to the degree he exists, would be transcendental, ineffable, and thus not directly knowable in his full extent. This apparent closing of the gaps then becomes entangled with our images of God. What if we took a look at how God might reveal himself today, in a manner consistent with current culture? Such a look would offer a perspective on whether the gaps are shrinking, and whether that shrinking is due to just our images.]]></description>

As we were discussing economic theory, specifically "free-market capitalism" and economic philosophers from Ludwig van Misses to Milton Friedman and Adam Smith to Ayn Rand it occurred to me that perhaps, we could design an artificially intelligent system to help hone the skills of student philosophers, by challenging their thoughts, and essays, or homework assignments.

Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Ephesians 6:13-14) Today we'll talk about the belt of truth, tomorrow we'll get to the breastplate (and on down the list): The Belt of Truth Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, What is it a belt...]]></description>

Well, I would submit to you that it is quite evident from reading all the documents, letters, and meeting minutes that they knew that even if they built the perfect government it wouldn't remain so long due to the weakest link, the people who would be entrusted to run it, and those who gave them the power to rise to that occasion.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Icons of the New Renaissance stories, under the auspices of the Science-Art Research Centre of Australia, are about the discoveries demonstrating that life-sciences can now be linked to fractal logic in defiance of the present scientific world view. The recent CERN experiment showing that cosmic radiation from novae in the Milky Way causes rainfall on earth, modified the Einsteinian world-view to bring about a collapse of the carbon credit economy in Europe. The solution to this collapsing of Western civilisation was given by Buckmister Fuller, derived from Mesopotamian mathematics. By comparing Fuller's mathematical research with that of Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein, Platonic-Fullerene chemistry, as a new medical science emerges. Under a United Nations mandate, that the Hippocratic Oath ethos of the new medical science be the guideline for ennobling government, Fuller's 'Utopia' will come into existence rather than the collapse of Western civilisation.]]></description>

<pubDate>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:32:26 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[This article's arch objectives are to demonstrate entertainment's harmful effects on society and to explain how seemingly innocent, harmless social patterns deliver deadly economic blows to society's masses. Although, on the surface; the seemingly tame, inoccuous behavior of entertainment appears to be so refreshing and reassuring; closer inspection of contemporary entertainment's disposition unkennels disturbing truths about the nature of the world. It reveals keen insight about how the world works and uses innocent things such as entertainment and sports to suck society's masses into the brawling, cosmic chasm of pauperdom and mediocrity. This article points out the fact that, quite often, things are not what they seem to be. Although some things may look ever so harmless and wholesome; closer scrutiny and analysis of them often reveal facts contrary to what was first thought. And, as it turns out, contemporary entertainment is anything but a refreshingly relaxing pastime; rather, it is the insidious tool of heartless billionaires who callously employ it to distract society's oppressed and down-trodden. It blinds society's masses to the raw truth of their false enthusiasm and misguided understanding about its real role in the strange charade of human society.]]></description>

But as we wonder on this question, we must also examine assumptions we bring to our amazement. Nothing can seem simple, and elegant, and balanced, but a bit of thought could show the simplicity, balance and elegance may not be easy. If we examine our assumptions about nothing, nothing could be something of a tricky thing to have, and something a less difficult state of affairs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When Charles Darwin propounded his work in the path breaking "The Origin of Species" in the year 1859, most and Clergy understandably, could not relate to the musings he underwent on his trip around the globe on HMS Beagle. I blame them not, for our interpretation of truth and right is limited by our understandings and the cognition we build unknowingly by the culture and societal background we come from. We often tend to resist anything which is novel and alien. It has got to do more with the nature. As Newton would've said to it: A body in rest or motion will continue to be so and will always resist the application of external force on it. Our blood cells will always resist and assail anything which is foreign.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Her engagement and enjoyment of art diminished, and then stopped while she suffered from schizophrenic type psychosis over several years. She engaged in the art while she was quite mysterious, and we all drew clues from her work. Doing such made the art so exciting. The art was like a map that was taking us to the buried treasure.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What is nothing? Wow, that's a tough one, and interestingly enough, no one has satisfactorily answered that question for me, perhaps that's why I have become disenchanted by academic professors who spread their wisdom upon me and yet can't answer the simplest of all questions, what is nothing, where is it, how can it exist, and what does it represent? Now then, what about Absolute Zero?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How do we know what we know? This article explores the classic philosophical definition of knowledge as justified true belief, and then introduces the challenge the Gettier problems pose for that definition. The logic behind unraveling the Gettier problem mimics the logic used in major fields of intellectual pursuit, so that the at times whimisical situations in Gettier problems give us insight into the larger topic of how we know what we know.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Icons of the New Renaissance stories, under the auspices of the Science-Art Research Centre of Australia, are about the discoveries demonstrating that life-sciences can now be linked to fractal logic in defiance of the present scientific world view. The recent CERN discovery that the speed of light is not constant. is of basic importance to the newly emerging Platonic-Fullerene chemistry and appears to be creating a refocusing upon Sir Isaac Newton's theory of the 'Ether'. Buckminster Fuller derived his synergistic theories from the Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy, which, in turn, drew upon the geometrical mathematics originating from the ancient Mystery Schools of Babylon and Egypt. The work of the physicist, Paul LaViolette, using the same source for his physics theories, appears to compliment the reasearch findings of Platonic-Fullerene chemistry.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Does God Exist" stands among the great mysteries, and controversies, in both general and philosophical conversation. Rather than attack the question straight on, an alternate approach involves a negation "can we prove God does not exist?" If not, and the article argues that we can not, then God remains an ever present possibility that deserves consideration in our search for truth.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ever since the creation, evolution and revolution of mankind the notion of having the ability to choose has always been one of the pinnacles of any or every society. This article will shed a new perspective of this new debate; Do we really have the power of choice or do the choices we think we are making are based on a scientific algorithm or spiritual divine order that may determine our choices or destiny.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We know that time travel into the future is possible. Stephen Hawking says, "We do not have the technology today to do this, but it is just a matter of engineering; we know it can be done." In Time Travel in Einstein's Universe: The Physical Possibilities of travel Through Time, physicist J. Richard Gott says "if we can accelerate protons to greater than 99.995 percent of the speed of light, we could also send off an astronaut at the same speed. It's just a matter of cost."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Although most people consign time travel to the realm of science fiction or fantasy, time travel into the future is established scientific fact, and Einstein and numerous physicists have presented the world with irrefutable evidence not only mathematically but in practical experiments like the one conducted by Hafele and Keating in 1971. Two atomic clocks were put aboard a plane which traveled around the world. When the plane landed, the clocks aboard it were "behind" by 59 nanoseconds in comparison to those that had remained on the ground. This is because as the speed increases, the clocks aboard a plane, train, spacecraft or other vehicle "slow down" in relation to clocks that remain behind.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dreams come in all varieties: those that reflect what's going on in everyday life, and those that dig a little deeper into your psyche, playing on your hopes and fears in a way that forces you to wake up and notice. Interpreting dreams is a task best left to the beholder, but there are guides out there that can help you find some meaning in the seemingly random thoughts of your sleeping mind. For as long as there have been people on Earth, humans have tried to interpret their dreams.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Deleuze's philosophical concepts express that ''art is a form of thought in and of itself." In his publication, ''Difference and Repetition'', he suggests the image of thought beyond the representation and the move towards abstraction. This is not the first time that such a philosophy is produced ( thinking of Spinoza). In a difficult passage from Bergsonism, Deleuze wrote about the difference between the ontological couplings of the actual and the virtual, as opposed to those of the real and the possible.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The twin pillars of name and fame stand resolute in the back of our consciousness from the time we're born until we exhale our last breath. We invest much of our existence in the material world energetically aspiring for recognition. Some of us display talents at a young age that blossom into full board celebrity status. We become worldly famous. We yearn to leave our mark on the world, to not be forgotten, to leave a piece of ourselves-triggered by the deep desire to live forever, or at least longer than one brief lifetime. Some people say it's who you know and that without that lucky break you won't pierce the landslide opportunity bubble that catapults you to extreme success.]]></description>

<title>Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry and the Ethics of Admiral Robert Fitzroy's Storm Glass</title>

<description><![CDATA[Icons of the New Renaissance stories, under the auspices of the Science-Art Research Centre of Australia, are about the discoveries demonstrating that life-sciences can now be linked to fractal logic in defiance of the present scientific world view. Admiral Robert Fitzroy constructed a storm glass device which he used to predict changes of the weather during Charles Darwin's famous voyage on HMS Beagle. In 1859 The British Crown issued them to many fishing villages throughout Britain. Captains of ships at port were to read them before going to sea. The formation of crystals, cloudy fluids, thread like formations, spotting or star clots indicated future weather conditions. Because the jars were sealed the science of their day could not explain how they functioned. Platonic-Fullerene chemisrty argues that modern science, governed by Einstein's understanding of the second law of thermodynamics also lacks the ability to examine this curiosity in any practical manner. It is suggested that the problem remains due to an inability to balance the basic principles upholding quantum mechanics with the principles upholding quantum biology.]]></description>
