Ringing in my ears, all day, all night. Damn the ringing in my ears.

Everyone is looking for something.

It's inseparable from living.

". . . Achieving happiness is an ongoing project, not something that can be accomplished once and for all by earning more money, marrying the love of your life, having wonderful children, finishing a Ph.D., or receiving tenure at a prestigious university.

". . . It is in our nature that we adapt to improvements in our lives, whether those improvements arise from more money or other desirable things, so that the additional happiness they bring is temporary. This fact of life, however, is hardly reason for pessimism . . . There is much wisdom in the commonplace that the journey is more important than the destination. Human happiness comes from striving for improvements and from the sense of achievement gained by overcoming the challenges we face along the way . . . The happiness gained from struggle and achievement may be temporary, but fortunately our insatiable desire for more of life’s good things guarantees that new struggles and achievements are always available for replenishing our happiness."

Insomnia sucks.

 

[jushorny]

I care about you more than I should...or think I should at least

 

[TxRad]

Is it to late to be so early or is it to early to be so late....

Now my brain hurts.....

 

[Misty_Morning]

Tomorrow has now become today...a day that I am not looking forward to, a day to fessup, a day to decide, a day that will make all the days to come either heaven or hell...

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

I have far too much to do.

Maybe i do need to step off that treadmill for a bit. *sigh* as if i dont take a passive path in life already.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Today will not exist for me. If I had enough energy, I would change my calendar.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

God, i cant seem to get warm anymore. Its like I have turned into the walking dead. I just one to go one day without being so fucking cold.

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

It's my own fault. Oh well its only 5%.

Edit: apparently its 10% and im supposed to reference...bugger.

Nativism is the position held by those that consider behaviours to be innate- ie. inherited via the genes of the natural parents of an individual. The suggestion that skills and competencies are hard wired into a neonate’s brain from birth, is a school of thought that is most notably adhered to by Chomsky- whose work predominantly focuses on the acquisition of language. To put into practice this theory, infants seem to know to suckle a teat for milk from a very young age. This is not something the environment has had ‘time’ to inflict upon and therefore a degree of innateness should be considered in such cases.

Connectionism is a theory based on the links that neurons make with each other. Some neurons are stimulated to fire while others remain inactive. If this process is repeated in the same way over time- with the same neurons being activated and the others remaining inactive, then the ‘neural pathway’ is strengthened. This suggests that a mental ‘map’ is formed in the brain, along which routes can be followed to access information. The more a pathway is used and accessed the stronger it becomes. Over time it becomes easier and faster to access memories and experiences.

Epigenesis is the combined efforts of the environment and genes in human and animal development. It is thought that the basic blueprint laid out by ones genetic biology is mediated to an extent by the environment. Waddingotn’s epigenetic landscape illustrates that development progresses along a linear pathway until a ‘fork in the road’ is reached- essentially a decision point as to which route of development to take. This decision point is mediated by environmental considerations. Any slight difference in the environment can distort the course of the developing organism. An example of an environmental factor inflicting on a biological process- potentially inhibiting development are Teratogens which are forms of environmental stimuli that are potentially hazardous to the development of a neonate.

its a terrible pain, something which eludes proper discription.
there was a huge fire across from campus yesterday. on my way home, i saw the tv crews and fire companies, hazmat, red cross... and i kept thinking, what are all those people going to do?
they most likely don't have renters insurance. they most likely dont have the money to stay at hotels. the apartments weren't stellar and now 20 units are gone.

i want to help. i dont have the means or the time. i ache for these people.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Your decision, I think is a wise one, but I'm glad I am still a part of your day.

 

[minsue]

The world would be such a loverly place if it weren't for the people in it.

 

[matriarch]

Is it even worth posting a non-erotic story here? Honestly that is the most it will ever be seen, it's not like it'll get published.

Yes.
Yes it is.
Go for it.

Oh, that brought back some sudden memories.....good old Chomsky. His head reared as part of my OU studies, back when.....it was an Education & Curriculum module....the topic I had to write about was: Briefly, in not more than 750 words, summarise the main theories of learning discussed in Block B, distinguishing between important variants. This was one of 3 parts to that month's assignment. I still have the books and stuff, I may just have to go back and re-read and remind myself.

Thanks for the memory jolt.

Wanna write my 150 words on nativism with Chomsky as a periphery?

Good stuff, lassie.

A little heavy on the deterministic side, those scholars - rather denies the possibility of human choice and agency (and ultimately morality and personal responsibility), but good stuff to think about . . .
