On Conspiracies and Scholarship

kahit napanuod ko na, hindi pa rin ako tagahanga ni dan brown hanggang ngayon pero mejo nakakakilabot na ata pag ganito

dahil naaalala ko ang isang di hamak na maganda ring libro na ito:



pero sangayon naman ako sa isang linya sa tdc na "the mind sees what it wants to see" na totoo at maaari mo ring sabihen tungkol sa may akda msimo ng tdc.

dati tumambay ako sa books for less at nakita ko ang librong ito:



ayon sa site (http://24hour-store.com/media/Religion/17059.htm):

Scott Huse explains a series of fatal flaws in the proof structure of biological evolutionary theories. He aptly deals with proofs commonly cited by evolutionists, including the fossil horse series, vestigial organs, and comparative anatomy. He also brings out biblical evidence for creationism and states that evolution and biblical creationism are mutually exclusive and cannot be reconciled

binasa ko ang ilang mga argumento nito at dahil mahina ang background ko sa physics mejo napaisip ako at muntik ng mabenta sa mga ideya nito tulad ng:

1 - Earth's magnetic field - The strength of the earth's magnetic field has been measured for over a 100 years. In a recent study, Dr. Thomas G. Barnes has shown that the earth's magnetic field is decaying at rate of 1/2 life every 1400 years; that means that the earth's magnetic field was twice as strong 1400 years ago as it is now. If the earth was even as old as 10, 000 years it's magnetic field would be as strong as a star! That is impossible! The earth could not possibly be any older than 10, 000 years! (The earth's magnetic field is caused by electric currents in the earth's core. If we go back as far as 20, 000 years, we find that the heat produced by those currents would have melted the earth).

okaya ng:

The rotation of the earth is gradually slowing due to the gravitational drag of the sun, moon and other factors. If the earth is billions of years old as the Evolutionist believes, then its present rotation should be zero. Furthermore, if we go back for several billion years, the centrifugal force would have been so great that the continents would have been sent to the equator and the earth would have been as flat as a pancake. Christopher Columbus took care of that theory long ago.

ano nabenta ba kayo? sa sobrang komplikado ng mga ideya parang mapapatungo ka nalang ng "ser, yes ser". dapat na ba naten ipagkalat na na pinagkakaisahan tayong mga ordinaryong tao ng mga espesyalista at dalubhasa para maitago ang katotohanan na kasinungalingan ang evolution!? ha! minsan slow ako pero hindi uto-uto!

mapangakit talaga ang mga ganyang klaseng teorya at dahil "the mind sees what it wants to see" ang mga tamad mag basa at magsaliksik ay madaling maging disipolo. siguro inis lang ako sa "cut-n-paste" na kulturang namumuo sa bisa ng internet; sa sobrang dami ng impormasyong ibubulwak sa iyo ng isang search query nahihirapan na ang mga taong magisip ng kritikal. quantity nga pero quality ba? pwede bot?

kaya mga kapatid, magbasa, magisip, magduda, at magingat sa pulis!

"I think we've seen enough. The atrocities being committed on planet earth make it clear that we must eradicate human beings at once."

Question time! And the question is: Do you think the Da Vinci Code movie will be banned from screening in the Philippines? I'm not asking whether it should be banned or not, I leave that to you, but the factors that will lead to permission or repression is not a religious matter but a function of business and politics.

Its long and not funny so read here

Mga Paalala

Hindi po "may bigote" ang ibig sabihen ng "bigoted"
Hindi po "little injection" ang binibigay sa mga binibitay na preso
Hindi po si che guevarra ang bokalista ng rage against the machine band

whenever the military is used to enforce peace on civilians its kinda like petting a puppy with a spiked gauntlet. look to the countryside tonight and if you try hard enough you might hear the sound of dissidents dying. pray that the night passes quickly

from www.inq7.net:

...NOW, THEREFORE, I Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Republic of the Philippines and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested upon me by Section 18, Article 7 of the Philippine Constitution which states that: “ The President…whenever it becomes necessary,…may call out (the) armed forces to prevent or suppress…rebellion…, “ and in my capacity as their Commander-in-Chief, do hereby command the Armed Forces of the Philippines, to maintain law and order throughout the Philippines, prevent or suppress all forms of lawless violence as well any act of insurrection or rebellion and to enforce obedience to all the laws and to all decrees, orders and regulations promulgated by me personally or upon my direction; and as provided in Section 17, Article 12 of the Constitution do hereby declare a State of National Emergency.

The Lockpick Apprentice

para sa isang babaeng may bigote

untitled.mp3

Little girl you are lovely sleeping
I'll never make you understand
Never knew what hearts would find
Never love you enough but
We try

Little girl you are always stealing
Into my thoughts, time and again
Can't imagine you'd be gone someday
Never love you enough but
We pray

And never will forget the way
You keep us whole
And never will forget the way
You are our soul

And we will run through endless mornings
And we will live in better days

An Evolutionary Theory of Clown Phobia

I present here a tentative theory explaining the phobia of clowns. Clown phobia is surprisingly less rare than one might imagine (there is at least one case in every Genpsyc class that I have). I posit that the irrational fear of clowns might be an adaptation that can be traced to our ancestral past, much like preference for large breasts and the taste of fat. It is probable that early hominids encoutered bands of wild clowns (homo ridiculus) on the African savannah. The prehistoric humans were likely terrified by the wild clowns' savagery (e.g. they bonked each other on the head with hyena bones). Human groups that mated with the wild clown species probably died out because of stupidity, so that natural selection would favor the humans who were aversive to clowns. This clown aversion quickly proliferated among successful human groups and thus we probably all carry genes that determine clown phobia, although phenotypic expression will of course be mediated by other factors (such as exposure to modern day clown species)

Believe me, I know these things

Ayt ya all, thiz iz the shiznit on da Game

lets muck around with some game theory now. lets try to address a problem troubling niggers and beotches the world around: to play or not to play

seen in a certain way romance really is a game, one about math really. playin is essentially what is termed a prisoner's dilemma


Figure 1


figure 1 is called a pay-off matrix. the numbers try to quantify how much benefit the person gets out of the interaction. a 2 would mean a "win" situation, a 1 is "could be better" and a 0 means "loser"

non-playahs by definition look for commitment and offer commitment. therefore if X chooses not to be a playah the best outcome for him would be if he met Y and Y was also a non-playah. this is the lower-right box in the matrix. thus it would be a "win-win" situation. they are in the hizzie

playaz on the other hand would not be better off if they met a fellow playah. nobody likes to be played, even playaz. so if X chose to be a playah and she encountered Y who also happened to be a playah, they might have fun but eventually leave each other unsatisfied because of mutual playin, as can be seen in the upper left box. there fore the situation for both is "could be better"

if a playah meets a non-playah, the playah is the big winner hands down, and the non-playah is the sucker. you can see this in the upper-right and lower-left boxes where the playah "wins" and the non-playah gets whippt fo' shizzle

so if this is the human condition with respect to how people get some, whats a nizzle to do? according to the nash equilibrium (john nash, the beautiful mind dude), people will go with the alternative where, on average they get the most benefit. looking at our matrix, being a playah you have an expected value of 1.5 for each game, while non-playaz get only an average of 1. therefore the equilibrium point would be the upper-left box where both try to play each other. its an equilibrium because if either one changes strategy they become losers, so they would tend to stick to being playaz.

and so if the world really is about being selfish and looking out for your own good, everyone would probably be playaz because, it seems, that is the shiznit

is there a better solution? well actually game theory offers us other options. one strategy involves being nice while the other involves dice, but i'll be elabiratizzilating da mo' fizzy sumthingz later

meanwhile, go gizoogle sumthin

sweet verse


never read hamlet and i dont plan to but this part is good:

Yet here, Laertes! Aboard, aboard for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for.
There ... my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!


never read yeats either but this one is cute:

the second coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?


and of course there are native masters:

sa silong ni kaka may taong nakadapa
kaya pala nakadapa naninilip ng palaka
palakang may buhok ngipin ay nakalubog
kulay niya ay itim hindi naman sunog

early one morning in the middle of the night
two dead boys got up to fight
back to back they faced each other
drew their knives and stabbed each other
a deaf policeman heard the noise
and went and killed the two dead boys

there are some amazing people who actually contradict themselves in the things they say, often without knowing it. such people will probably not win many debates. they will insist that the world is round and it is also flat at the same time. using some arcane system of logic, that might actually be true, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow. hypotheses are tested by taking sides, not by taking all sides. the only thing certain at that point would be confusion. therefore, let us make changes so things stay the same forever, for the time being (sic)
