The human mind behaves as if it were divided into two parts, the Thinker and the Prover.

The Thinker can think about virtually anything.  History shows that it can think the earth is suspended on the back of infinite turtles or that the Earth is hollow, or that the Earth is floating in space; comparative religion and philosophy show that Thinker can regard itself as mortal, as immortal, as both mortal and immortal (the reincarnation model) or even as non-existent.  It can think itself into living in a Christian universe, a Marxist universe, a scientific-relativistic universe – among many possibilities.   (more…)

The Bugatti Veyron 1001 Horse power engine only gets 4 mile per gallon when driving at full speed.  This means driving at full speed would only last for 12 minutes on a full tank of gas…and I’m sure it’s worth every minute!!!

Tracking a New Kind of Civil Disobedience by Kathleen Burge

NEWTON, Mass. – As Newton resident Lisa Dodson, a Boston College sociology professor in the thick of a research project, was interviewing a grocery story manager in the Midwest about the difficulties of the low-income workers he supervised, he asked her a curious question: “Don’t you want to know what this does to me too?”

She did.  And so the manager talked about the sense of unfairness he felt as a supervisor, making enough to live comfortably while overseeing workers who couldn’t feed their families on the money they earned.  That inequality, he told her, tainted his job, making him feel complicit in an unfair system that paid hard workers too little to cover basic needs.

A well-heeled Philadelphia school district gave out laptops to students, then used the webcams attached to covertly spy on them, both at school and at home, according to a class-action lawsuit.  The case, Blake J. Robbins v. Lower Merion School District, was filed after one of the school’s vice principals disciplined Robbins’s son for improper behavior in his home, using a photo taken from the camera as evidence, according to the filing.

The laptops were issued to 1,800 students at three high schools in the district, each with a built-in webcam that, according to the lawsuit, administrators can activate remotely and covertly.  The suit is a class action, brought on behalf of all the students and their parents. They’re seeking damages for invasion of privacy, theft of private information, and unlawful interception and access of electronic information.

Brightons iconic West Pier was restored to its former glory for one night only – “A Pier Appears” took place on Wednesday, February10, 2010, and was the first of a series of events curated by Josef Valentino on behalf of Tiger Beer as part of their Chinese New Year Celebrations. French lighting studio Creatmosphere used computer-controlled lasers for the project, which stopped traffic and drew a huge crowd on the beach, despite the brief arctic blizzard!

success is a choice…so choose wisely!!!

The myth of futility leads to internal depression in the face of external, economic depressions. It makes us feel like since there’s nothing we can do to influence the economy, then we’re just doomed to suffer along with everyone else.

The reality is that while national economic forces do impact you, you still have control over your prosperity. It’s a myth that the Great Depression was a time of suffering for all Americans; for many it was a time of great prosperity. James Gregory, Associate Professor of History at the University of Washington, says that, [During the Depression] about a third of the population suffered unemployment and difficulty.  About a third of the population maintained their standard of living, and another third of the population did better in the course of the 1930’s than they had done before.

The question is which third will you be in during the current economic downturn? Will you wallow in poverty, thinking that you have little control, will you simply maintain your current standard of living, or will you seize the opportunity to prosper?

a fellow thinker’s thoughts

By James Garvey

Is being opinionated a virtue or a vice? Is it a good trait in a philosopher?  I’m with Socrates in thinking that definitions really come at the end of an enquiry, not the beginning, so I don’t want to pin the notion down right at the start.  There are, though, two philosophical types.  One gets mentioned to prospective students in the promotional literature: philosophers are open-minded free enquirers, willing to question everything, resolute denouncers of dogmatism, pursuers of the truth, followers of arguments wherever they might lead — at this point you may wish to rise, stare into the middle distance, and allow the wind to blow back your hair.  This creature is mostly fictional. Maybe it’s just our way of luring easy targets to introductory classes. (more…)

controversial marketing at its best…

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Any and all who are familiar with the Calvin Klein brand know that it’s not a stranger of creating very controversial advertisements. It seems as if anything goes as long as it has the CK logo on it…from what could’ve been interpreted as child pornography, to a straight to the point ménage à trois, to now this!

Of course I applaud the art director on this campaign because one can’t deny that it’s a very strong image that provokes thought which in turn definitely grabbed my attention…but once it had it, I was stuck on why?

Believing strongly in the power of imagery and that a picture says a thousand words, my mind raced to understand the intended message in this billboard advertisement AND more importantly how does it translate to someone eventually making a Calvin Klein purchase?

Pease share your thoughts on this one!

Sidebar: By no way am I being compensated for this…I’m just simply intrigued by the artistic expression in the advertisement.
