The Pentasense system
5 self confirming senses

It has been argued that the impiricle senses in and of themselves can not be trusted due to misperception. one percieves because they don't know, it seems that this possibility (misperception) was already forseen leaving us with a pentasense system that allows one sense to assist in confirming or affirming another sense example of this would be the sense of sight visualising a bent oar in the lake, the sense of touch feels the oar and returns with a contradicting conclusion the mind then instructs either other senses to help verify if possible or the mind instructs the motor skills to manipulate the object in question to a more unobscured state, or a state more condusive to that specific sense ex water obscures sight so we take things out of the water to get a more realistic view of it. The senses are not to be dismissed just verified.

Inabling belief

It seems some beliefs inablise a person from believing in others. example some who have a problem with intelligent design struggle with it, not due to its intellectual merit or due to it being illogical, but directly due to the overconfident stance they have on a competing belief, in this case atheistic naturalism or evolution, this may be in spite of sound or unsound reasoning. People place their trust on that which they have reason to believe is true. They may not know its true in the same fashion that imperical truths are known, or logical necessary truths like 2+2=4 or if person A is taller than person B and person C is taller than person A then it is necessarilly true that person C is taller then person A. These truths are necessary truths that go unchallenged or conclusive truths. verifiable truths have room for counter arguments due to the need of verification, which can lead to more and more verifications add infinitum. If someone has reason to believe something is true but do not know it to be true like necessary or conclusive truths than even the atheist must place their faith in their views just like those who place faith in religion.

80 year old brain!
So...it turns out I can't think myself out of a wet paper bag, My oldest daughter Symphony got the Nintendo DS (handheld game) from her aunt Jessica and uncle Mike. We picked up Brain Age 2. Its a good thing we did, because much to my surprise (not really) I have an 80 year old brain. I thought a little about this. If my brain at 80 serves me as well as it does now Ill be happy. Not to worry friends I have been on a fast track to improve and am now the proud user of a 61 year old brain only 3 days in.

Is change good?

2008-02-03T23:27:00.000-08:00

It has been said.. "change is good" the word change has been used often in this primary election. There has been a very vague "change" being peddled and has excited many people. This got me thinking is change good? I have concluded, not, at least not in all instances. If something "changes" from a healthy state to an unhealthy one is this good? of course not. It is only good when it goes from bad to better, or gahstly to a good state. It is possible (heaven forbid) that change goes from bad to worse, or good to bad.

THEE Third Party?

2008-02-03T23:06:00.000-08:00

Is a three party system better than a two? One would think so, if it is true in the free market than it would seem to hold true in the market place of politics. The truth is, there are plenty of parties that currently exist. But only two that remain dominant and have to this point, been very successfull at keeping all other parties at bay. Imagine a day where a third party gaines the order and support of the masses forcing itself a major player in the political seen. If free enterprise and competition strengthens the deoderant market, it will accomplish much more in the market place of politics.

Speak comfortably

I have realized most of the time I choose to remain silent on any issue is due to my lack of clarity and understanding. My failure to think things through will tether my tongue and inable clarity. It is a constant fight, warding off the lazy mind.
