As far as personal networks and influence level for organizing people, the xMax demonstrates that potential. but - before we worry about organizing people, perhaps organizing ourselves as individuals is in order. there is so much cognitive dissonance that it is difficult to think. cutting through the b.s. requires a broad knowledge base and right now, all of us in this country are working with the same manipulated tools that may or may not be technically correct. How long has the lying been going on before we recognized that it was pervasive?

But Paul is onto something, and the positive approach is welcome and totally acceptible. It may take a bit of a while for some of us curmudgeons to convert over, but norman vincent peale defined the field nicely in a Previous Hi. There is a dude named jeff in oregon spreading positive thoughts to 'warriors' - i don't know where he is going with it - but he is nearly at his magic number of a thousand.

how far back do incorrect notions go and how do we correct them? For science texts - i trust the gospel authors - pauling's chemistry, einstein and heisenberg physics, the fundamental basis seems correct. function is as important as form and things like mendeleev's table form a correct basis of classification. dichotemous keys in biology serve the same purpose, but in a vastly different form - just groupings of cataloged information. But one size fits all groupings portray distinct bias also. To correct them, we have to look at unbiased, properly collated and collected raw data.

something fundamental about science has been shielded from the public thought. there has to be another fundamental force that was discovered and not talked about, because chemistry alone cannot explain sentience. physics underpins that chemical basis and if we take that transformation of elements is rare and well characterized, then there must be some aspect of an unknown force that allows me to scratch my nose when it itches.

bells are ringing, my ears are crying and the migraine that i've been riding this weekend i have aptly nicknamed ice pick in the eye. but when you have to concentrate to do simple tasks and your brain functions at superhypersensitive mode - you start thinking too deeply and putting things together in improper context. our problems seem to be not enough deep thought and too much consensus, with allowing the experts to decide, but then lacking the diligence to check the qualifications of so-called experts. i think i'll go off into the dark and try to alter my reality into the dream state. g'nite
