  1. Jesus was witnessing God as an opener not as an almighty creator when he shouted before dying: 'My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?' (Mark 15:34).
  2. When someone knows all he is capable of, he welcomes his daily routine being opposed.
  3. Ego is only an appearance, an illusion, a fiction.
  4. You wouldn't have asked for MY ideas if you would have known what a meme is.
  5. For evolutionary biology, ideas are memes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
  6. If there is a problem in seeing Robin Hood as a pirate it is because he was not Viking (Norman) enough. Today, the shipping activities are dominated by people who have much more Viking's blood in their veins than the Somalians.
  7. What you would like to belief is ignorance is actually a short-circuit between the Symbolic order and the Real. http://books.google.com/books?id=je702bo2P...4#PRA2-PA312,M1
  8. I think that this game resembles a poker game in which two players are allowed to use language to detect bluffs. Game theory has something to say about what Steven should have said to detect the truthfulness of Sarah in the signaling game he played with her.
  9. Canada soon will offer an alternative route all year round with the opening of the Northwest Passage.
  10. If only the ontology supported by biology would be as feminine as the one supported by physics. http://books.google.com/books?id=je702bo2P...=4#PRA1-PA99,M1
  11. I suggest you to read more.
  12. You are right I think. The whole idea of game theory is that if economic agents cannot agree ex ante on how to share a trade surplus, then there will not be any trade surplus to share.
  13. Niels Bohr knew that belief is a very strange phenomenon:
  14. Information is a marketable product.
  15. The hallmark of Christianity is: Apocalypse is coming if you don't stop searching for scapegoats (i.e. if you don't turn your other cheek).
  16. Steven Spielberg can be very helpful for someone who wants to understand the relationship between creatures (creation) and immortality (eternity).
  17. Switzerland's banking secrecy laws, which still allows rich capitalists to escape their social responsibilities, have lost their legitimacy since no Hitler is now trying to steal the wealth of Jews in Swiss banks.
  18. I think Betsy and the men here are caught in a false debate because they speak two very different kinds of discourse (hysterical discourse and the discourse of the university). To deal with these two discourses, one has to speak another kind of discourse (the Analyst's discourse). http://books.google.com/books?id=je702bo2P...4#PRA2-PA298,M1
  19. Imagine the anarchy if the SC was not composed of only a very small uneven number of persons!
  20. Because this game has happened before a wide public, I imagine easily a new market being created precisely because all defecting players like Sarah become identifiable lemons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons
  21. Opium is also the name of two memorable wars.
  22. Neo-Cons don't need drugs, it seems, to lose all memory of past wars.
  23. Balls are secreting naturally feel good chemical compounds.
  24. Given his age (50 in a few days) and generation, it is unacceptable that Harper is allowed to remain blind to the relationship between wars and the Flower Power.
  25. "The connection between prohibiting polygamy and protecting women is over-inclusive because, as a study by McGill law professor Angela Campbell revealed, not all polygamous relationships subordinate women. The connection is also under-inclusive given the host of circumstances where monogamous women’s choices may be suspect as subject to coercion yet we do not even question, let alone invoke the criminal law (for example, remaining at home and raising children rather than entering the workforce, undergoing plastic surgery or marrying someone from the same religious community). In addition, monogamous wives living in isolation behind the closed doors of single family dwellings may face domestic violence and even death at the hands of individual husbands who are psychotic or socialized to believe they are superior beings.
