Dear Blog,


Besides saying "sorry someone gave you such a stupid sounding name such as Blog"

I'd like to dedicate this 3000th post to "Flipper", and all that were kind enough to participate in this thread (which naturally like other threads has been hogged by me);  It's just the kind've guy I am  :hug:

                                                            Your biggest fan,  Kappy

OK, now speech time...

Dang, I had a really good speech all written up,  but the dog took it,  and hopped
on a train, and is headed for Las Vegas.  Same thing that friggin critter did with my 1000th post speech !   Good thing people believe my stories are true.. It'd be easy for some creative mind to make up such a stupid scenerio !

The capacity to represent time and think about time, and to recollect the past are among the least understood aspests of the human cognition and consciousness. There is a connection between  temporal recognition and memory and memory does play a role in our ability to reason about time.

Isn't that because "Temporal recognition" AND "Time" are one and the same ?

[align=center]An essay on Steven Kaplan[/align]

While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind Steven Kaplan, I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. In depth analysis of Steven Kaplan can be an enriching experience. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, Steven Kaplan is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. It is estimated that that Steven Kaplan is thought about eight times every day by so called 'babies', who form the last great hope for our civilzation. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve

Social Factors

As Reflected in classical mythology society is complicated. Back when Vealinger reamarked ?the power struggle will continue while the great tale of humanity remains untold? [1] he saw clearly into the human heart. Difference among people, race, culture and society is essential on the survival of our world, however Steven Kaplan irons out misconceptions from our consciousness.

Of paramount importance to any study of Steven Kaplan within its context, is understanding the ideals of society. If society has a favourite child, it is Steven Kaplan.

Economic Factors

Derived from 'oikonomikos,' which means skilled in household management, the word economics is synonymous with Steven Kaplan. We shall examine the Custard-Not-Mustard model. For those of you unfamiliar with this model it is derived from the Three-Amigos model but with greater emphasis on the outlying gross national product. Transport
Costs

 Steven Kaplan


How do we explain these clear trends? Obviously transport costs will continue to follow Steven Kaplan for the foreseeable future. Strong fluctuations in investor confidence have been seen over the past two financial years.

Political Factors

Machiavellian politics is rife. Are our leaders justified in pursuing and maintaining political power? Comparing the general view of politics held by the poor of the west with those of the east can be like comparing Steven Kaplan now, and its equivalent in the 1800s.

We cannot talk of Steven Kaplan and politics without remembering the words of nobel prize winner Xaviera B. Adger 'You can lead a horse to water, big deal.' [2] I argue that his insight into Steven Kaplan provided the inspiration for these great words. History tells us that Steven Kaplan will always be a vote winner, whether we like it, or not.

The question which we must each ask ourselves is, will we allow Steven Kaplan to win our vote?
Conclusion

In conclusion, Steven Kaplan has, and will continue to be a major building block for the world in which we live. It enriches, provides financial security and never hides.

Let's finish with a thought from star Clint De Niro: 'I love Steven Kaplan? Yes! Hurray for Steven Kaplan!' [3]

Yes Jian,  Not only did I pass the 3000 mark, but I went off the "deep end" too..  I'm now discussing theoretical physics.  Considering I don't remember ANYTHING about relativity,  this should be a REAL joke !!   String theory didn't exist when I was in school... I know nothing about any of this stuff..

AO Jian,  I wish such a generator existed when I was studying existentialistism in philosophy.  I could've saved valuable time, and dedicated that time to more important things in those days such as drinking, and smoking.

 Jian,  I just noticed this in the footnotes of the generator..





Thank you Flipper.... I'd go to Disney World,  but that would entail leaving the computer.

Anyway, where was I ?   Thank (fill in the name of whomever you believe in here)_____ this was just a dream...

Ok, now I am reminded of J R Tolkien's riddle:

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountain down

You don't like them ?   They have some beautiful stuff IMHO...  I wasn't much into the disco genre EWF... But some of the slower ballads are gorgeous, ever hear "I 'll write a song for you" ?  I think that's the title...


A band I was with opened for them around 1974 up in SPAC  (Saratoga performing Arts).. Amazing musicians and TINY group of guys.....   Sad thing is, and I'll be quite honest,  I DID get a very strong Vibe (as did a few of us) that they didn't really like we "white kids", at least in those days... It wasn't just my imagination...It's ashame, I do admire their talent... Stylistics were ALOT warmer...

I'm wondering if in the early-mid-70's,  and perhaps even still, before Soul made the transition to Disco.... If there really was still a gap in racial acceptance among artists.... I suppose it makes some sense... When the white person got involved in "Blues" there was alot of disagreement among blues musicians.... Johnny Winter's story of a young guy down in Texas is a fASCINATION read !

Most of us in the late 1960's found that the black population was EXTREMELY warm, and caring, and welcomed the white population to become a part of blues music...

Yet there was a huge stigma to Elvis when he first came out !

In other words, "use it or lose it".  In remembering facts, equations, etc., neuropathways have to be firmly established, entrenched and driven over like
a stretch of freeway that's used everyday.

So "Use it or lose it" pertains to more than just the prostate ?

Don, is that the case ?  Or does a human brain have a greater propensity for absorbing at the younger ages, and this is either organic, or emotional clutter that impedes absorbtion after say 25-35 ?... Aren't the first years of a persons life the years they take in the most stimuli, and absorb and retain info at a MUCH higher rate than after about 25 years of age, when either the mind does in fact start to slow down REGARDLESS of how much it's used.. Either do to organic deterioration beginning,  or the capicity and emotional clutter makes it distracting and tougher to absorb new things ?  I write and study certain aspects MUCH MUCH more today, than I did in school, although it can be argued that while in undergrad and grad school the mind was naturally more tuned in general... Yet today, I forget spellings and concepts constantly....I never did in my 20's... I use some of these words daily too..  This is my reason for confusion regarding this issue..

Remote viewers have been trained to pretty much transcend time.  They can move about, going from the "past" to the "present" and the "future".  Events can be observed, but often an exact date can not be established. There's only an awareness of the event being in the past, present or future.

Time is supposedly very linear, but why do some days seem to go by quickly and others seem to drag?  What's going on within us to cause us to define this rate of change in our perception of time? (ow, my brain hurts!)

Also, if we can not remember a past event in our life, for us, does it cease to exist?

Just when I thought I had hit the nail on the head, you're telling me that I hit the wrong nail!     That's what I get for trying to run with the big dogs!  Ummm....
It's got to be a matter of physiological changes and neurochemical changes. As esoteric as we like to think we are, it all comes down to biochemistry (at least while we're in this lifeform)!   We can probably do mental exercises to compensate for these changes.  Seniors can delay the effects of Alzheimers and dementia in general by doing things like crossword puzzles, memory quizes, anything that stimulates cognition/memory.  It still seems to come down to the "use it or lose it" concept.
Hopefully we can slow down the rate of loss.
