Descartes and Neuroscience | Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/descartes-and-neuroscience
The meanderings of my mind. Whatever I have accepted until now as most true has come to me through my senses. But occasionally I have found that they have deceived me, and it is unwise to trust completely those who have deceived us even once. Descartes First Meditation. The early 17th century philosopher and scientist Rene Descartes made this comment about the nature of reality, illuminating a mistrust in the sensory array that we all use to gather all the primary information about the external world.

Neural Loops and Culture-Control | Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/neural-loops-and-culture-control
The meanderings of my mind. Neural Loops and Culture-Control. I’m curious if you have an answer, thought or would care to ponder on this, please post. I am less and less confident in my own grasp on what exactly is going on not because I feel incapable of living every day life, but because it is very easy to see the flaws and limits of the human brain’s data-processing capacity. DO I have any neuroscientist friends? So you have the power to affect this memory. You can attach anything you like to it a...

The meanderings of my mind. You Didn’t Vote for Tony Abbott. If you don’t live in Warringah, you didn’t vote for Tony Abbott. But all of this misses the point… and that point is that he is just a figurehead and it’s the policy that has made this government particularly unpopular. So really, the point is… Why aren’t our elected officials doing the job that REALLY needs doing and looking to all we have learned over the past 100 years so that we can reform this shambles of a democracy so that it...According...

Memes I Hate: “That Awkward Moment…” | Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/memes-i-hate-that-awkward-moment
The meanderings of my mind. Memes I Hate: “That Awkward Moment…”. Incorrect use of meme. That Awkward Moment When. 8211; F U! Ok, there are SEVERAL examples on the entire Internets I’ve ever seen of someone correctly using the “That Awkward Moment When…” meme. The idea of it is to make a quick, snappy one liner, pointing out an awkward situation so people can cringe at the awkwardness and perhaps have a little giggle too. Here’s a few things that aren’t awkward:. You’re a dumb arse. That Awkward Moment i...

Australian Politics | Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/australian-politics
The meanderings of my mind. I am writing this mostly for my own university review process:. There are many examples of states imposing on people’s individual rights and freedoms and an individual’s right to do (x) thing is often core to many debates. Some examples are: Reproductive freedoms, euthansia, substance use and sexual rights. But, many others are argued including, seatbelts, helmets, speed limits, right to free speech, right to free association, right to free belief. Representative democracy is ...

Tightened Cognitive Screws | Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2014/11/03/tightened-cognitive-screws
The meanderings of my mind. Bubbled spheres of abstract intangible thought existing somewhere between the inner and outer. The great connection-maker works in over-drive trying to derive meaning from an exponential informational extrinsic-engine. Bubbles spheres grow below the surface of the word, lying in the grounds of the ineffable. Somewhere along the line, previously established networks inverted their emotional response. Twisted together, bundled and boggled. Twisted together, every tether. Not qui...

Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/885
The meanderings of my mind. From here everything looks real. Over time, confidence seeps in to this perceptual playground. Intangible, barely measurable things are shared between us all the time… Sowing our garden of cognitive context in order for our interpretations of THIS to line up with others’. Expectations foster repetition…. From here, everything seems surreal. Over time, bursts of radiance leave illuminated burns. Context falls away and the lines fail to meet like they once did. Tragedy. # ha...

Remuneration Debacle | Introvoracious
https://zenxi6.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/remuneration-debacle
The meanderings of my mind. On Saturday January 3rd 2015, Fairfax publications in Melbourne and Sydney published this piece, entitled,. Employers step up efforts to get rid of penalty rates. According to the article, numerous industry groups are seeking a cut to wages via cutting ‘penalty rates’, which are rates at which one’s wage increases based on the time of day or type of day they are working on.
