not-so-random ramblings: hellish perspectives
http://aschig.blogspot.com/2008/02/hellish-perspectives.html
Will start by posting some stuff that I have already published on hitguj before puting new stuff. Saturday, February 02, 2008. Hell is full of musical amateurs. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950). The Nobel winner Shaw was a critic and dramatist (not necessarily in that order) among other things. He was not a musician of note, but he did criticize, or favour, certain musicians in his column. His view of hell would be a good indication of what he treated as good music. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

If you [are] a real seeker after truth, [you must,] at least once in your life doubt, as far as possible, all things. Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650). The confusion often is about the purpose of life. Why do we exist? Or even, why do we need to exist? Saturday, February 02, 2008. Hell is full of musical amateurs. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950). People do create hell and heaven in t...

Natalie Goldberg, in Writing down the Bones. While I believe that digressing is a fine art that is not very well explored yet - at least to my knowledge - let us leave it to another time. Love the analogies, even marry them, so long as you know how to evaporate the water and reclaim the sugar.

not-so-random ramblings: Morphogenetic fields, Memes, Lamarckian evolution etc.

Will start by posting some stuff that I have already published on hitguj before puting new stuff. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Morphogenetic fields, Memes, Lamarckian evolution etc. Several years ago I had read an article on Morphogenetic fields, asking if it is fact, fiction (,fantasy) or fraud. According to the theory learning to ride a bike is easier for children these days because everyone who has learnt to ride one set up a field which everyone else has access to.

I had expected the length to be 48*0.2 29*0.04=10.76 but the second one turns out to be almost 14. So someone is messing up somewhere. Anyway, remember that the actual duration for the second one is 2 seconds. Hummingbird (original, truncated to 4 seconds). Hummingbird (with delay between frames - duration 2 seconds).

Maitreyi is still bewildered, so Yadnyawalkya further explains it thus: if there is duality then one sees another, smells another and so on. But when the duality is gone, what can one see (outside the Self) and with what? What can one smell, and with what? Through what can one know that due to which all is known? Y: One and a half.
