Did I ever tell you the story about how I learned what "hirsute" means?
Tell the story grampa!

I can't help it. Ulaven says I have a schoolmarmish charm.
I imagine other people put it...less...uh...kindly.
She voted for Bush?Yet you used your uninformed, low information right to vote, to put in office the biggest threat to the efforts and sacrifices of your ancestors in our history. Get a clue.![]()
For an aspiring researcher in the hard sciences, I believe there is no better time than now. There are probably no great surprises to be found in the body of scientific information of the past. And the pace of investigation and innovation as so accelerated that one could become disoriented even slightly into the future. There are great things to come this century, and I feel so fortunate to have been born when I was, to be able to witness them.
Now children, open your primers to page 24 and we'll read aloud from Webster's Second Reply to Hayne...
Exactly. It's funny that I keep seeing people that write books like "The End of Science" that claims that new lands are diminishing not just in square mileage, but in returns.
I think it's a common theme in the unimaginative, and I feel sorry for them.
For me, this is awesome. There is just so much to do and so much to see.
And anyone who still has a mind to can do what's necessary to travel to those far off lands. It's a shame Americans don't travel abroad at the same rates as Europeans, and commune with those in say the outer villages. We could do so much to combat the Ugly American stereotype. When I traveled abroad I traveled alone, and followed the most conservative advice to maximize my safety in a developing nation. But I realized, this time laying over seats at the Seoul airport like an uncultured American, that I could become addicted to international travel, and on my next excursions should do what I could to integrate.
I think like you say there's a misperception science discovery is coming to an end. The science has become so abstruse and specialized it's easy for the lay person to feel disconnected. When someone thinks about evolution, probably they are wanting to know how one species, one kindom leads to another. Probably they are thinking about abiogenesis. An answer involving genotype frequencies is not satisfying. Similarly for physics. They want to hear about cosmogenesis and where humanity belongs in the grand scope of being, not the peculiars of Higgs coupling and inertial mass. But it's a real problem for science advocates if their science becomes too far removed from society and loses its value. It's a special problem for foundational physics, which is struggling to make genuine theoretical advances.
No, no. I am ON my meds.
Development of computers was essentially creation of an entirely new realm of experience (yes, okay, a lot of it is porn, but...)
It is my contention that TODAY...is a great day. Not for each individual alive right now and their particular circumstances, but for the statistical gains that we've made in culture, in science, in medicine, in art.

The liberals and post-modern apologists seem to have gotten a tweet this week telling them to spew the "world is better than its ever been (and of course its because of us)" crock this week. Third time I've seen it on various sites.
Um, sorry, but things are basically over for humanity. At least in the western world. Maybe a grand coalition of China-Russia-Islamic World can someday overrun the west and save human civilization from degenerate cultural barbarism and societal decay but at this point but I think even that may be impossible. It may be too late to save humans from reverting to a cultureless pre-animal level.
In art???????????
Seriously, of all the cultural degeneration post-modern art is the most obvious pile of crap of all. If I was to give one area where humanity has degenerated the absolute MOST I would point to art, not just paintings and sculpture (which is crap) but in music, tv/movies, architecture, etc. Its all become the most vile and horrifying garbage. It really should be called "anti-art." That what the modern art movement was really trying to do, create art that actually destroys art. Like the guy, Duchamps I think (have to look it up), who signed his name to a toilet and said that made it "art" was really trying to do. Destroy art by making a mockery of it.
Human life is effectively over. Liberalism has destroyed all that was good or provided purpose or meaning in life.
Once the demonic force finally succeeds in eliminating "gender," we will even sink below the animal level.
....your opinion.....
Do you still have to notify the county water department each time you pee?![]()
The prurient interests were always there with us since the days of stone tablets and scroll parchments. Generational tech leaps just helped make it more accessible, which has shaped its creation and content. Call it Dirty Design Within Reach.
I bet ukiyo-e prints were like the adult image Tumblrs of their day.

You're either no longer hiding from your performance artistry, or you've become a bitter, curmudgeonly recluse in old age. Usually I lean towards performance art, but sometimes you hit the paleo-con philosophy so squarely I'm forced to second guess. Either way, you're a one man institution. Bravo!
