When asked if I known a foreign language, I respond English.
English is an official language of India, and it unifies people whose first languages are any of perhaps 20 major ones and 600 minor ones.Someone once said, "The last Englishman will be an Indian."
Science courses in universities in India are usually taught in English, but not so in China and Japan.
Yes, out of 14,17 or 20 million illegal intruders, all speak a different language. Also, all of the English language is made up of the words of every other language in this world. That makes the English language unique. The other thing that makes the English Language unique and mentally empowering is that the English language is the most metaphoric language of all languages.
If we were to give Julian Jaynes his due, we'd agree that metaphors are the single most important driver of and indication of left/right brain cooperation which lead to self introspection and a connection to one's mind.
The memes are great, and they bring great sadness with their meanings. Thank you, Carl, for humor and thought provoking all in one place!
You are correct about our language. I have vowed to write the book I've been working on, a follow up of The Fight for Conscious Human Life, in the simplest way possible. If it's possible with specific words with one meaning so that if read in the next cycle, the rebuilding of civilization after the coming natural catastrophe, it will be easily understood with no qualms or misunderstandings; so that everyone that reads it will know exactly what happened in this cycle and what to watch out for during the progression of the new 12K year cycle.
They need not miss anything due to metaphoric references to cyclical events. We now know what the end of the New Testament was talking about during the last 100 years with perhaps 20 years left to get our affairs in order.
Those that survive should know from the start, everything they need to watch out for, natural, political and spiritual . . . and do it right for once, have the advantage, for once and progress through conscious thought, behavior and world views hoping to endeavor to reflect the image of humanity to the fullest extent.
After my wife and I both worked decades in academia, we can testify to the therory that education and intelligence may very well be an inverse relationship.
I keep looking for "Reasons" for this behavior assuming these creatures are human and capable of conscious introspection; capable of understanding all the natural and cosmic laws that make life in this universe possible yet they have flown in the face of the very laws that made it possible for physical life, planets, stars and everything else to exist.
Sorry for the (Ayn) Rant!
It has weighed heavy on my mind.
Just realized, Hyannis Port Massachusetts is where the "Kennedy's" (as in President Kennedy, asshole Ted Kennedy: who's old Oldsmobile left in Cape Cod Canal almost took out the Queen Marry ship) Spent their summers.
Not the Kennedy we are speaking of, whom is from Louisiana and not related.
Funny, Ted K. and the Father were crap creatures but John and Robert were real human beings.
When me dino read "never confuse education with intelligence," I recalled being in the classes of certain college professors, and that goes way back to the late Sixties and the early Seventies. S0o what I experienced way back then was just a very mild preview of insane things yet to come.
I before E except after C does work out for words written in German. So say "Heil Hitler" to today's American science and whoever the hell is funding it.
Before that I thought "Liberal or Far Left" Science was being referred to.
I'm going to a birthday party this afternoon and having that glass would be an awesome "conversation" starter, LOL. Lefty mostly peaceful expressions of love and diversity would likely catch the place on fire and I'd be arrested for inciting a rio... er... mostly peaceful demonstration.
I am glad that everyone appreciated the observably true memes. I haggled with myself over which to publish, the last remaining funny memes or the growing list of just memes that were making a true statement. Since simple funny is hard to find and these memes were good and weren't dusty yet . . . I went for it. Took me a while to decide on how I was going to order them . . . leaving the last meme making a surprised impression.
Now that you got me thinking, a word on the last meme: It seems like a meme version of "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."
PS, I will buy one of those glassed from you. Just let me know. (no rush) Might be a way to generate under the table cash?
I have a ton of trees down in my woods. I will be cutting, splitting and selling this spring thru summer to do just that.
I am a consumer of said cut wood, since I have 3 working fireplaces in the house and a wood stove out in the workshop. Wish we lived closer. The busy body control freaks here in the Peoples Republic of NY threaten every now and then to outlaw burning wood for heat!!!!
Whenever I see a video featuring Sen Kennedy from Louisiana, I have to check it out. Ya gotta love that guy and thanks to Louisiana voters for sending him to that pit of vipers on the East coast!
"NASA used the metric system for their Apollo moon missions. The decision to use the metric system was made to ensure consistency and compatibility with international scientific standards". Apollo Missions started in 1961. Eight years or more later, when I worked for 3M in the early days they tried to get the nation on the metric system by changing a lot of road signs in Minnesota to metric. It failed, to our loss. It's a lot easier to teach metric rather than the size of some king's shoe, and all the other idiosyncrasies in the SAE system.
Thanks
Doctors are Dumb, no one knows squat about how to control thatl
Oh, the number 10 . . . thanks
I think I’ll have a beer.
Beaker!!!
