Continue reading...Analysis of “Bad to the Bone”
23. July 2008
Here I will attempt an analysis of the philosophical work of George Thorogood, Bad to the Bone. First, just to point out the obvious, it's clear that Thorogood is heavily influenced by the German Idealists. In particular, one can see a Hegelian theme throughout the work. The references to "bad to the bone" are Thorogood's [...]

22. July 2008
It's hard to believe that it has taken modern science 200 years to catch up to Lamarck. One of the common threads on Nautis Project has always been the incompleteness of a biological theory of evolution, morphology, and memory. It is these gaps in our knowledge that people like Lamarck, Darwin, Bergson, and Goethe tried [...]

"About 1 in 4 Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.)

21. June 2008
As I have gotten older and had a chance to catalog my dreams, I've noticed that each dream, though bizarre and individual in narrative, are beginning to self-assemble. It's as if I am given only brief, random glimpses into another life - a life that keeps on moving even when I'm not around. This is [...]

15. June 2008
I've been thinking about a conversation I had last summer. Some friends and I were discussing Richard Dawkin's book, The God Delusion, with Rupert. As always, Rupert's ideas are well thought out and always seem to come out of left field - at least to me. This got me thinking... There are people everywhere that [...]

13. June 2008
From the New Scientist, "Yet one culprit is rarely mentioned: the broad range of psychiatric drugs that can cause substantial weight gain. They include drugs marketed as antidepressants (such as amitriptyline, doxepin and imipramine), mood stabilisers (including lithium and valproate) and antipsychotics (including clozapine, olanzapine and chlorpromazine). After 10 years on lithium, for example, two-thirds [...]

4. June 2008
In what he called a "defining moment for our nation," Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday became the first African-American to head the ticket of a major political party. Obama's steady stream of superdelegate endorsements, combined with the delegates he received from Tuesday's primaries, put him past the 2,118 threshold, CNN projects. "Tonight we mark the [...]
