Sugar is the stuff life runs on but at our modern level of consumption it's undoubtedly the number one food toxin. Sugar is the secret to addicting the consumer and peddling high profit mush. It doesn't really matter much what form it's in sugar, evaporated cane juice (euphemistic term for what sugar actually IS), corn syrup a.ka. HFC (vilified but not substantively different than table sugar), molasses, wheat, corn starch, rice flour, etc. Modern wheat actually has a higher glycemic index than table sugar! Most of our food isn't toxic, just barely acceptable and sometimes poisonous e.g. food born illnesses. Our food is great at killing us slowly, lowering the quality of life and overall health and most of all attracting huge government $ubsidies! It's all about the money after all. Anyhow, I blathered on about this because it's probably the single most effective thing anyone could do for their health, keep their blood sugar stable and avoid cheap high glycemic addictive foods. BPA in tomato cans and other 'problems' deserve very low priority in relation to the sugar epidemic.
Pascual Jordan, one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics along with Dirac, Heisenberg, Pauli and Born had his name essentially written out of the history books because of his association with the Nazi party which really amounted to overlooking what the Nazis were doing and saying some positive comments about the Nazis. I don't like what Jordan did. Heisenberg is a less controversial figure which some people claimed had skeletons in his closet regarding the Nazi party. Nothing really came of it and Heisenberg's reputation has been untouched except a few still hold questions regarding his conduct. I'd like to know if this issue was ever cleared up. Heisenberg is still (rightly) remembered as a chief architect but Pascual Jordan whose contributions equal or exceed Pauli is almost entirely written out.
I was really surprised one day to find all my youtube comments on Google+ for all my friends to see. Try explaining away comments about a fart video, drunken bums, cock fighting or some other unfortunate mistake. Oh well (shrugs shoulders)
That's a shame really. Recording history shouldn't be motivated by politics and other peoples' sensibilities being offended. Regarding Aleister Crowley being 'The Wickedest Man on Earth', not even close. If you've ever read M. Scott Peck's 'People of the Lie', then you know what I mean.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to repost it every now and again. Which reminds me, people are as burried in bookmarks as they are in email. Solution = new startup?
During the 90s internet stocks were doubling or tripling in a matter of days. That isn't happening now. This market is very frothy but this most certainly isn't 99. That said, the market can go anywhere. The market could be topping right now and on it's way to DOW 5000, or it could be taking a break then go merrily on it's way to DOW 35,000. It doesn't matter what Schiff says, it doesn't matter what the cheerleaders say. The market will do its own thing.
Have you ever seem a simple Prolog program solving the 'four coloring problem'? Try programming that in anything else. Prolog or something similar like Lisp with pattern matching is the tool of choice for speech recognition programs. Why these tools get dismissed in a world of tablet devices using Siri or Google is beyond me.
