Logic and his alter ego

It takes a lot of a kind of intellectual energy to create a functional product. It takes a lot of another kind of intellectual energy to create a beautiful product. Now talk less of creating a product that is both functional and beautiful in design.
It’s so easy to tell the absence of intelligence…by the absence of order. Science teaches us that disorder is a more natural state than order (via entropy). Meaning that situations, left by themselves, tend towards chaos. Yes it takes a conscious effort to produce order…talk less of functional order…then talk less of functional and beautiful order.

Logic, as defined within the (narrow) limits of our cerebration can’t wholly exist without faith…especially when it comes to our origins. There really is a sweet blur between faith and logic. One always has to believe either that at some point nothing became something, or that a something just always was.

Science tells us that matter is neither created nor destroyed so if nothing became something in the beginning, it only happened once. That is unscientific because things don’t happen only once in science…for the basis of science is observable repetition. If it happened only once, then faith must step in where science cannot.
The other option for science is to believe that matter has always existed…and once again points never meet for science cannot attribute a beginning to the timeline. That is another point where a trust in something beyond our mental limits comes in.
Right from the very beginning, we see that Logic (at least as we know him) couldn’t have been present without Faith…and right now I’m trying to explain my faith using logic!

Let’s assume we limit Faith to only the beginning of matter, and want only Logic to exist from then on…can he explain the beginning of order, function, purpose and beauty? I guess we could easily scratch off beauty since beauty is based on our subjective perception. But dare we scratch off purpose, and make life meaningless? Can Logic, who by himself cannot explain the beginning (and just as helplessly neither the end), be qualified to dismiss purpose? And even if he could, can he do so without removing the word ‘Why?’ from existence? And can he do that without killing his son Science?

Logic has a hard time explaining a beginning and an end; little wonder a lot of people believe in a being known as the Alpha and Omega.

My Alien Abduction Survival Story

The ETs now have me where they've wanted me...at my wits' end and on my knees, completely at their mercy. They have my attention alright, howbeit not undivided. My wife is dying in excruciating pain and it's all their doing. They'd implanted the alien pod that had been growing inside her and was now trying to claw its way out of her belly. Okay maybe it wasn't all their doing. If only I hadn't been so stupid to get us in such a compromising situation. The aliens should never have captured us in the first place. It should have been some poor unlucky slob in my place. I'm a trained soldier, my instincts have been honed to avoid scenarios like this. Funnily enough they'd treated us nicely. None of the lower gastrointestinal probing we hear about in those abduction stories. Just strange heavenly lights and strange heavenly sounds. It was like heaven for the relatively brief period we were there. We were grateful to have been spared. Not many make it back t...

Suggested Improvement to Facebook "Like"

Image
Seriously, Facebook should stop abusing the word "Like". We've made our peace with their abuse of the word "Friend" but the "Like" thingy may be doing them some harm. Think about it. Imagine I find a page I want to participate in not because I like the page ("like" in the literal sense not the perverted Facebook sense) but because I want to provide an alternate viewpoint. The establishment could have the exact opposite of my values, or sell products I'm not happy with, and the best way to keep tabs on them, or offer my complaint would be to "Like" the page. Problem is I don't want to be caught dead 'liking' a page I don't...well...like. I know companies would probably want to limit the voice of the complaining customer, but some (the smart ones) will want to hear such customers so they can improve or at least know what their enemies are saying. This loss in important feedback and community activity might cost...

Those Darned Calories

I’ll second (or third) that too rapid weight loss is not healthy. Actually history has shown that too rapid anything, more than less, is never healthy. That said, it's good to watch your caloric intake...but it will not be as easy as not eating. A faster healthier way to loose weight is to eat smaller but more regular meals (of course while adding a healthy dose of exercise...or rather, a dose of healthy exercise). Whatever you do, avoid bouts of starvation. Starvation simply tells your body that there isn't enough food to go round (famine even). The body then responds by slowing down the metabolism, and by storing whatever 'little' you ingest as fat…you know, for the ‘rainy’ day ahead. You’re better off boosting your metabolism by eating tiny meals say every 3 hours. What I do (ok try to do) is eat tiny meals and supplement with granola bars (yes I’ve acquired the taste) later, or eat my meals in two meals…half now half later. Avoid or limit the white killer foods like...
