Voodoo love?
IF the Nerve Growth Factor really is good and it comes with love, long-lasting, fond, and mutual affinity is the worst circumstance for NGF or love, or both. ■→More
Hostile mimicry
THOUGH it could be fun to observe on a behaviorist for an “armchair theory” — would a man sit like a woman, or a woman like a man — mimetic theories belong with behaviorism, where speech and language are “verbal behavior” to become “reinforced through the mediation of other persons”. ■→More
Objective non-correlative
The original phrase for pathetic fallacy was reportedly "emotional falseness", thus it might have been that clouds were smiling on Mr. Ruskin too, only nobody told him. ■More
Bogey in the tongue box
ELM is short for an Extreme Learning Machine. ELMs can train artificial feedforward networks; ELMs are pre-programmed, fast, and affordable. However, human brains rely on own, intrinsic feedback, and the role approximates a drive; the tissue uses feedforward, but not in “single-layer networks”. ELMs are to work in Computer Aided Diagnosis. ■→More
The pit of the olden cniht
VERSTÄNDNIS appears spacious an idea: it can hold comprehension, empathy, and — opinion. The elapse the Umwelt theory would need yet does not look covered in any known speech. Ticks, sea urchins, amoebae, and jellyfish would be granted own worlds, for a study of meaning as present also in human communication. ■→More
Sense in Common
COMMON sense is a sound judgment not based on specialized knowledge, says the American Heritage Dictionary. A translation of Latin sēnsus commūnis, it was to mean common feelings of humanity. — Should Thomas Paine's Common Sense have been about "common feelings of humanity", there would have had to be more than one species. The British yet remain people too. ■→More
The Statistic Helen
THE statistc Helen, though intent,
Wasn't born Hippolyta to befriend;
In common such an airy bit,
Ha'p'orth indeed, so petite,
An illiberal, bigoted detail,
Apt, word-province
Grandeur to belittle,
Most oft no voice, merely
And not a stop:
Should we not just have it chopped? ■→More
The Matter of Worship
WORSHIP is things sur-real godly;
Of that hate, of this love,
Of no life — thought will die:
May there be day. ■→More
Evolution as the World Knows It
A WISE guy with a smart one came together to conclude
On causes and drives, to man’s evolution, the prelude ―
Would the glibness in the species have been devolved
From another mundanity, as voluble, as resolved? ■→More
Threnody 8
RUTHLESS the vacuity you have made of my abode,
Dear Orsula mine, with this disappearing of yours.
We are plenty, and there is as nobody around,
Such a wealth has departed with a baby soul one.
You ever and again spoke, ever and again sang,
Every corner in the house, yourself merrily ran. ■→More

En Face
THE only approved picture of Emily Dickinson is a daguerreotype her sister would have given to one Austin Baxter Keep in 1890s. I do not like the daguerreotype simply as a negligent image of a human being. I had my first careful look and understood it was disposed of as faulty. I broke it into CMYK. ■→More
The commatoform disorder
Punctuation, the comma, the dash, and other such characters, are to make the written matter clear. There is some logic to it, yet language is not a system, and this must be why the new canon does not add up . ■More
Simple English Aristotle, Physics Book 1, Chapter 4

Simple English Aristotle, Physics Book 1, Chapter 1
To have knowledge about our objects of thought, we study regularities about them. A regularity of natural and specific occurrence is a principle. Simple English Aristotle→

Rouge Gagne
IT is so much joy! ’T is so much joy!
If I should fail, what poverty!
And yet, as poor as I
Have ventured all upon a throw;
Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so
This side the victory!
Life is but life, and death but death!
Bliss is but bliss, and breath but breath!
And if, indeed, I fail,
At least to know the worst is sweet.
Defeat means nothing but defeat,
No drearier can prevail! More→

Spinning upon the shoals! More→

To meet an antique book,
In just the dress his century wore;
A privilege, I think,
His venerable hand to take,
And warming in our own,
A passage back, or two, to make
To times when he was young.
His quaint opinions to inspect,
His knowledge to unfold
On what concerns our mutual mind,
The literature of old... More→
