capable of being extended or shaped as by hammering or by pressure........adaptable or tractable, the maleable mind of a child........impressionable,moldable, flexable.........able to adjust to changing circumstances........................when the mind is in a superconscious state it is throughly illumined by experiencing divinity and transends the limitations of the nevous system...there is still a higher plane on which the mind can work. it can go beyond consciousness. just as conscious work is beneath consciouness, so there is another work which is above consciousness, and which can not be acompanied by the feeling of egotism...divinity is the very core of our beingattain spiritual enlightenment..to acheive that goal, subjectve and intuitive methods are employed, improving the quality of the mind.....PURE MIND.......

If it cannot, it seems a great waste of material and people - especially as most wars in history boil down eventually to dialogue.

When our life itself depends on the transpiration of plants, are they really "other"?

evolutionary threat and harm usually comes at us in three dimensional space, this is where consciousness has been forced,to cocentrate and define itself,because of the possibility of being stepped on by wooly mammoths and eaten by sabre-tooth tigers, the primitive evolving mind of human beings concentrate on nearby space and time because that is where threat comes from, the kind of threat that has to be imediately responded to by running away or fighting or something like that. but,consciousness is an icredable plastic and maleable medium. so what happens when you take a compound like psilocyben in the darkness,in a situation of no threat and low anxiety and low input from the exterior world is that the function which is essentually in most situations a closed fist ready to strike out at something coming from nearby, unfolds into something much more beautifull, much more interesting, and true to itself. not defined by an exterior context or situation,but defined by its own mechanics...

I'm taking a intro Logic course in University and this is one of the questions. I just want to make sure I'm not out in left field here..


North Korea lacks strong diplomatic ties with the United States.(~p) If diplomatic ties were strong (p), the U.S. would have a good chance of persuading them to negotiate away their nuclear weapons program.(q) So the U.S. doesnt have much of a chance of persuading North Korea to negotiate away their nuclear
weapons program. (~q)

Now, I reduced this argument down to a sentential language and this is what I came up with...

(p>q)
~p
--------
~q

Now, I know this is denying the antecedent, but I cannot come up with anything else....

Is it still a valid argument??

A professor referred to a scale used to understand things in a Sociology class that I took long ago.
The scale was a list of emotions ie: anger, fear, humor, etc. The idea is to examine your subject from the various emotions to gain multiple perspectives.
Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about (I know this is very vague). Do you know the name of this scale (I think it was a Psycologist's name). Does anyone know the complete scale?

your enemies' mill utter many unspeakable words, decrying your prowess. Could anything be sadder than that?

They will shout," Arjuna has fled from here in fright". If this public opprobrium persists, will that be good for you? People win fame, O Arjuna, with great effort, even at the risk of their life. You have earned without effort and obstacles fame, which is unlimited like the sky (206-210). You have gained unbounded and unparalleled reputation, and your virtues are regarded as excellent by the three worlds. Even far-off kings sing your praises like bards; and after hearing them even the God of death is alarmed. Your great glory is as pure as the water of the Ganges; and its report astounds the great warriors of the world. After hearing your marvelous prowess, the Kauravas have lost all hopes of survival. Just as after hearing the lion's roar, even rutting elephants think the world-dissolution to be near, so you inspire dread in the minds of all Kauravas.

I don't know when or where I've had this sensation, perhaps in a dream since I've never had a near death experience. Somewhere in my memory I died and went to a place I was sure I had been before and went through a process I know I had gone through before and there was no fear at all. Just curious if anyone else felt the same or if this is an individual thing.

Is that an intelligently pragmatic principle to abide by, or does it serve to exacerbate corruption, or what?

It just don't make any sense to be alive, when all you going to do is die anyways.

Why are we alive every single day?
