Scrubs... Music changes on broadcast vs. DVD

reddit, internet and telephone can bring us together.... but it can also keep us apart.

20 year old focused on a startup business and such can get lost in perspective. If there is no war, he likely could have lived to 80... his adult life had not really even started yet.

You are going to live with this family suicide a long time. don't get caught in the short-term view of it. You had your 20 years together, and you are going to need to not get caught in the emotional sinkhole he created...

It is going to change your life, focus on how to make it better... not worse. That's the opportunity in front of you... to use this true event in your life to grow in experience and understanding. Time is a one-way tick tock, and getting stuck on this point is rarely a good thing. Absorbing and sharing the experience is good.

you shared here, a good start. Talk with people you connect with. you will get multiple viewpoints and thoughts. Yo uwill find yourself having complex feelings. Don't be afraid, it's the pain of being alive and caring for others.

Good luck man.

Why are taxpayers responsible for measuring the mess made by business?

Because it impacts everyone, and it's becoming a global problem.

Pollution and weather sensors the same.

basically kickstart the establishment of a global measuring system that others can choose to aggregate.

Of course the idea needs fleshed out, hundreds of hours of thinking, but just a trip of it.

rather than sophisticated statistical techniques.

No, it isn't that simple. That is the problem, complexity.

The history of humanity oversimplification of it's own interactions is just ridiculous. Yet, I will be trapped by that very issue in trying to form a 4 minute response; of course you can tear it apart, this very paragraph is oversimplified.

Killing people and eliminating dissenting opinions is just far far quicker than relating or understanding! A gun does the job in seconds, debate and learning takes years and decades. One can not just jump into advance mathematics, advanced medical, etc without years and years of training! Yet, even then, people with "equal" training in the same classrooms won't agree! Complex, complex, complex!

Finally, because the field is a damned difficult one. The human brain is the most sophisticated and complex thing in existence.

That it itself is unproven and unprovable. You are in the field of Mythology with statements like that, not science! You are speaking in absolutes when you should be shifting to poetry ;)

New York Professor Joseph Campbell, at the age of 82:

"Now, eternity is beyond all categories of thought. This is an important point in all of the great Oriental religions. We want to think about God. God is a thought. God is a name. God is an idea. But its reference is to something that transcends all thinking. The ultimate mystery of being is beyond all categories of thought. As Kant said, the thing in itself is no thing. It transcends thingness, it goes past anything that could be thought. The best things can't be told because they transcend thought. The second best are misunderstood, because those are the thoughts that are supposed to refer to that which can't be thought about. The third best are what we talk about. And myth is that field of reference to what is absolutely transcendent. "

.

As I see it, the majority of people of 2012 treat psychology in absolute maturity terms - like a doctor's words is FINAL. People used to treat religion like that. It's total nonsense to have such faith in psychology! At best, psychology is a science closer to weather prediction of the earth. You can put labels and names on particular kinds of storms, and even have a scale for hurricane types, but predicting it out of the reach of human beings!

In the age of supposed understanding of the brain, things like families and marriage are crumbling. I suggest it has something to with how people believe they have solid and concrete ideas in their hand, facts and logic they can look up in a book, and have entirely lost all sense of the wonder and mystery of Living and Self. The mystery is the mystery of "no thing", not some attempt to mimic the behaviors of others before you... but plunging into the unknown of your own self and complexity.

"The reference of the metaphor in religious traditions is to something transcendent that is not literally anything. If you think that the metaphor is itself the reference, it would be like going to a restaurant, asking for the menu, seeing beefsteak written there, and starting to eat the menu." -Campbell

yes, the human mind is capable of such huge imagination, consciousness is a whole category of unmeasured software running on a complex brain hardware.

bluespapa · 2012-05-24T15:30:50.378556+00:00

people like to cite IQ tests. What we seem to need is a standard measurement for human attention span.

I expect there is a relationship between best-informed and attention-span

I imagine a test that presents information on video, audio or text - and tests for comprehension of all 3. Maybe test comic-sans vs. other fonts and a person's ability to go past the superficial. Even style and layout.

Not just the length of attention span, but the depth, to not be turned away from knowledge and differing opinions by superficial aspects of presentation and delivery method.

I suspect the best-informed overcome the common recognition: "The medium is the message" -Marshall McLuhan

A crazy idea ;) Governments fund $500,000,000 to put free Geiger counters in the next 50 million smart phones that ship... and let people volunteer to run a app out of choice to collect local data.

Imagine the future with pollution and weather detection ;)

Sorry such troubles; 42 year old male here.

Don't be ashamed of crying. And, of course, don't be ashamed of self-satisfaction. Does he talk about that with you? Does he offer toys, oral?

You seem to be focused on biological. Let's start with the obvious:

Night shift... how long has he been on this schedule? Is your climate seasonal, and has he lived in that climate for the past 5 years or recently moved?

But I'm focused on the reality of shitty long-term relationships being the normal all over the world. Psychological and society turmoil.

For a 34 year old man... has he been married or lived with someone before? at least 3 years? Did he have similar problems in that relationship? Children or child-support issues with either of you?

I'm more worried about the relationship. He has 9 years more experience, you seem to be "wishing" that 6 months together is a long time. Is he being mature at least in talking to you about your relationship problems?

A 34 male landing a 23 female... that's mid-thirty fantasy material. Sex is a recognizable major excitement for the male on that age difference.

be well :)

yep. Every year there will be a #1 best movie and a #1 worst movie. Predicting the future of what will be good on a movie is just stupid. It's better to wait until it is finished and let the people who watch it decide.

Rarely do I walk into a movie without some basic research on the quality of the content. Doesn't always mean highly rated or production values... but some basic knowledge of the film. I surely don't let titles, actors, directors, or advertising and poster design be my reason for choosing a movie!

Except that the deep roots common in all religions is the OPPOSITE of Compartmentalization!

New York Professor Joseph Campbell at the age of 82, summarizing this anti-compartmentalization:

The illumination is the recognition of the radiance of one eternity through all things, whether in the vision of time these things are judged as good or as evil. To come to this, you must release yourself completely from desiring the goods of this world and fearing their loss. "Judge not that you be not judged," we read in the words of Jesus. "If the doors of perception were cleansed," wrote Blake, "man would see everything as it is, infinite."

It's not Islam. It's crazy extremists taking things from Islam and twisting it to fit their own ideals. To blame it on Islam itself is not the answer.

I think you really have it wrong.

Islam went very strict in the twelfth century, extruding the Greek science from it's culture. The eighth and ninth and tenth centuries in Islam were much more open.

It's crazy extremists

Sufi such as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī would be consider "crazy extremist" and innovators, that the Quran condemns heavily. Yet, the Sufi interpretation and use of the Quran is much more compatible with a global, tolerant view of the world...

Mansur al-Hallaj was another who stood up to this strict views, and was executed by the Caliph

I am a Muslim, and my wife is a 31 year old university teacher in Algeria. I am also well versed on the cross-religious education by atheist New York Professor Joseph Campbell.

Almost everything you said is wrong. Things are changing because Islam is modernizing. Some parts of global culture are creeping in. Television, Internet, telephone, travel, etc - has changed things and mixed them up. For many, Islam is being more individual. The same thing happened to Christianity after the breakup of the Catholic church by Martin Luther.

I think it's an Abrahamic religion thing, to be honest.

Exactly. people on this thread seem largely ignorant of even American history.... such as Susan B. Anthony!

New York Professor Joseph Campbell, discussing this at the age of 82:

Of course, in biblical times, when the Hebrews came in, they really wiped out the Goddess. The term for the Canaanite goddess that's used in the Old Testament is "the Abomination." Apparently, throughout the period represented in the Book of Kings, for example, there was a back and forth between the two cults. Many of the Hebrew kings were condemned in the Old Testament for having worshiped on the mountaintops. Those mountains were symbols of the Goddess. And there was a very strong accent against the Goddess in the Hebrew, which you do not find in the Indo-European mythologies. Here you have Zeus marrying the Goddess, and then the two play together. So it's an extreme case that we have in the Bible, and our own Western subjugation of the female is a function of biblical thinking.

I'm a forever aloner and I am also a semi-professional dancer who dances with girls all the time

"They've moved out of the society that would have protected them, and into the dark forest, into the world of fire, of original experience. Original experience has not been interpreted for you, and so you've got to work out your life for yourself. Either you can take it or you can't. You don't have to go far off the interpreted path to find yourself in very difficult situations. The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience -- that is the hero's deed."

that is not "love" you are marketed today.

That's called compassion and forgiveness

Don't regret. Just try to find your own peace.

Joseph Campbell at the age of 82, his 1949 book inspired the Force and Hero themes of 1977 Star Wars: "Darth Vader has not developed his own humanity. He's a robot. He's a bureaucrat, living not in terms of himself but in terms of an imposed system. This is the threat to our lives that we all face today. Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes? How do you relate to the system so that you are not compulsively serving it? It doesn't help to try to change it to accord with your system of thought. The momentum of history behind it is too great for anything really significant to evolve from that kind of action. The thing to do is learn to live in your period of history as a human being. That's something else, and it can be done."

It's a simplistic truth:

Fun and inexpensive things: 1) reading books, 2) Bullshitting on reddit, 3) Watching old (inexpensive) movies, 4) Marriage where couples talk about the weather and seasons and ... you know Love.

But it doesn't profit the brainwashing forms of advertising, public relations, etc. Interacting one on one with your fellow man isn't really consumption, it's just time-wasting... LIVING!

My "if activism" thought is: We really need to start developing a culture where $2 is donated instead of blocking or tolerating advertisement. If money is used to reward participation then we start to fund smaller folks directly. maybe we should establish ideals for "no more donations after $60K/year" for the donation-sponsored artists?!

Of course, this is future, and unknown, so may have a lot of iterations. The world isn't going to run out of problems and challenges.

Exactly. What if they had all just wanted to go out to breakfast together at a spot that was 2 miles out of the way... and all rode bikes.

It's like saying it is illegal for there to be traffic around a football stadium on game day! Like the roads are to exclusively be used for business travelers going to work and not for social friendship purposes.

insane.

There is also a serious pushing to encourage entitlement to "have it better than the previous generations" or you are a failure.

if your personal idea is a world free of pollution and full of forests and animals... the word is clearly not a better place than it was for your parents.

if you go along with the idea that new fancy colors on automobiles and more paved roads is a better world... you are happy as shit!

This is probably because USB supplies 5V, but SD cards use 3,3V and this device probably just uses some resistors to lower the Voltage.

By chance are you using a higher-amp USB port (such as USB 3.0 or a charging port)?

This could account for the failure... USB 2.0 was intended to provide a fixed amps... and a resister solution might have worked fine at the original specification... but a high-amp port could overheat.

In other words, a resister design would not account for increased amperage availability beyond the USB 2.0 specifications.

Why are people having pissing contests over which of two completely unrelated games sold more in the first place?

Rewind the clock... you will find the same kind of social excitement over rankings of music. I remember when it was a big deal that a singer like Shania Twain would "top" the selling charts of Rock and Country at the same time!

I think peace comes about by celebrating the differences... not wishing everything is identical.

Humanity doesn't view nature as a partner but instead as something to be conquered and controlled.

Well, the "western culture" that was largely fueled by 3 key religions.

1987 interview with Joseph Campbell at the age of 82. Joseph Campbell was a professor in New York City for 38 years, spent more than 60 years of his life in study of world religions. His 1949 book inspired the Force themes of George Luca's 1977 Star Wars films...

Bill MOYERS: Don't you think modern Americans have rejected the ancient idea of nature as a divinity because it would have kept us from achieving dominance over nature? How can you cut down trees and uproot the land and turn the rivers into real estate without killing God?

Joseph CAMPBELL: Yes, but that's not simply a characteristic of modern Americans, that is the biblical condemnation of nature which they inherited from their own religion and brought with them, mainly from England. God is separate from nature, and nature is condemned of God. It's right there in Genesis: we are to be the masters of the world.

But if you will think of ourselves as coming out of the earth, rather than having been thrown in here from somewhere else, you see that we are the earth, we are the consciousness of the earth. These are the eyes of the earth. And this is the voice of the earth.

I knew going in that this was slow real-time experience.

What surprised me is what seemed like technical faults in the period.

The woman's legs were perfectly hairless
Woman's armpits shaved, when they don't even bath each day
The door to the barn in a slow shot near the end had a modern nut/bolt on it {right side of door wood, clearly visible}?!
The window glass was perfectly smooth and modern?

Are these correct for the era and income of these two?
