Newton's Three Laws And Me-
1)sitting in my chair, staring at the computer screen, it seems hard to make a move and start this blog. But now that i have started typing it seems to take some bit of energy to stop.
2) The weight of my thoughts plus the speed at which i wish to deliver them is equal to the force at which i strike the keyboard? hmmmmm
3) my action is here on this page in the form of these words. Lets see if Newton's law holds true with ideas as it does with objects. Will there be a reaction in the form of a response?
lol
Our "Energy Efficient" Culture- At what point does something become efficient? What must the ratio be between useful output to waste byproducts for a process to be classified as efficient? Does this satisfaction of "efficiency" change as culture changes? Has what was once considered to be useful and efficient changed? Was civilization nieve not to think that there should be systems that have better efficiency ? Or is the understanding of efficiency and mastery of the external world nothing more than another developmentery process of civilization? Is there guilt involved? Is any of it "natural"?...
Descartes has a lot to answer for!- "The mind can only know that which it has itself produced and retains in some sense within itself" This is a very interesting statement. In order to feel that this statement falls short of universal understanding one must assume that the "mind" is something that isn't part of the whole; that the "mind" has edges or boundaries that make it a specified object with distinct location; that the mind is only "here" and never "there". Well, i guess if you believe that than that statement can seem a bit trapping...But on the other hand, if you believe that the mind is vast and limitless than Descartes statement seems much larger, and that by going back into the "mind" one might find all the answers he/she is seeking...
