Another Catcher for the Why. Stress: How UDT, the Multiverse and Stoicism can Help. April 7, 2016. Some ways of viewing and interpreting reality (or certain parts of it) can make you much more productive and happy than others, although they are not less accurate than other, more “pessimistic stances” of viewing and interpreting the world 1.

For the promotion of rigour and rationality: Grooming tribal monarchs
http://randomprocessed.blogspot.com/2015/07/grooming-tribal-monarchs.html
For the promotion of rigour and rationality. When institutions (states, businesses, etc.) need cash they forget their principles. My French friends are upset at the recent decision of the state to forget the principle of equality of all citizens and close a beach in Vallauris for the pleasure of a tribal king and his entourage of 1000 people. They've even constructed a lift (=elevator) for the use of the monarch. 9679; Story in French here. 9679; Story in English here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

For the promotion of rigour and rationality: Ramadan in places where the sun does not set
http://randomprocessed.blogspot.com/2015/06/ramadan-in-where-sun-does-not-set.html
For the promotion of rigour and rationality. Ramadan in places where the sun does not set. Ramadan is a period, around this time of the year, when Muslims are supposed to fast during daylight and eat when the sun sets. (And fasting means eating nothing and drinking nothing, not even water or beer.) That's supposed to be a religious duty commanded by god. The issue is this however: In Uppsala, the sun hardly sets these days and further north it does not set at all. Sure, one would argue, they had. Conclus...

For the promotion of rigour and rationality: May 2015
http://randomprocessed.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
For the promotion of rigour and rationality. When I lived in other places, e.g., in Edinburgh, I used to go to the cinema regularly, actually mostly to the legendary Filmhouse. And to the Cameo. My Japanese cinema list. In it, one can find films by Kenji Mizoguchi (such as Ugetsu Monogatari. And the Crucified Lovers. All highly recommended), by Hiroshi Simizu (such as Mr Thank You. A real must) and by Yasujiro Ozu (such as Late Spring. Which one should watch at least twice). Unfortunately, Tokyo Story.

For the promotion of rigour and rationality: Citation nonsense
http://randomprocessed.blogspot.com/2015/06/citation-nonsense.html
For the promotion of rigour and rationality. We're at the era of the Internet. So, for many, knowledge and research evaluation has been translated to counting citations: the more citations you have, the better you are. So they think. But, of course, they're wrong. I won't insult anybody's intelligence by presenting obvious arguments that show how faulty the process above is. I leave it as an exercise for the reader. However, one should ask . Well, again the answer is obvious. Dear T. Konstantopoulos,.

For the promotion of rigour and rationality: February 2015
http://randomprocessed.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
For the promotion of rigour and rationality. About a year ago, I discovered a very interesting short video by Richard Feynman. Responding to the question of what happens when we hold two magnets next to one another. His answer was brilliant. Where distances obey the Pythagorean theorem. I found out that the physicist is Eric Rogers. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What measure theory is about. It's about counting, but when things get too large. The principle of dynamic programming. Refuse...

Learning – thinking – writing. April 2, 2015. The Table by Andre Derain. In last Friday’s ideas-letter (which you can view here. Article about Lonni Sue Johnson, an artist with amnesia. One question the article explored was how a person with complete hippocampal damage — and therefore with only a two-minute window of memory — experiences time. Her sister, Aline, hypothesized the following:. Imagine living in a narrow sliver of the present,’ Aline told me. ‘How could you get a sense of continuity? Fill in...
