But which one?
Which one should I choose?'

The Fireplace Delusion: A Metaphor for Religious Belief
-- Sam Harris
I wonder if Mr Harris would stop writing annoying articles if he discovered it raised the blood pressure of many of his readers?
...Translating: If the rationality implicit in religion leads to war etc, just wait and see where the rationality implicit in atheism takes us.
If the Christian idea "love your neighbor" can end in bloodshed, how much more disastrous will be the materialist idea
"your neighbor is merely a monkey".

This Is My Home
6:48
by Mark
On an unseasonably warm November night in Manhattan
on our way to get ice cream,
we stumbled upon what appeared to be a vintage shop,
brightly lit display window and all.
As we began to walk in, a man sitting out front
warned us that we were welcome to explore,
but nothing inside was for sale.
Our interests piqued, we began to browse
through the collections
the man out front had built throughout his life.
This is a story of a man and his home. |

Druggy spiders
In 1995, NASA scientists studied the effects of various common drugs on the weaving abilities of spiders.They thought it might be possible to analyze the periodic structure (or lack thereof) of the drug-spun spiderwebs as a means of determining the relative toxicity levels of the drugs. Nothing much came of the effort, though — perhaps owing to the difficulty of extrapolating a given chemical's toxicity to humans from its toxicity to arachnids.
That said,
there did seem to be similarities between the drugs' effects on the two species.
According to the researchers,
the spider that was high on marijuana did a fair job weaving, but then got bored or distracted and didn't finish.
The one on speed went really fast, but without much awareness of the overall picture: It left large gaps. The acid-tripping spider wove a psychedelic, symmetrical web that was very pretty but not great at catching bugs.
That brings us to caffeine.
Looking at the picture, clearly the caffeinated spider did horribly, and this might point to the gulf that exists between humans and arachnids.
If I were a web-weaving spider, that picture would definitely correspond to pre-coffee weaving, not post. |
