That is interesting. I read in this book about Tiwanaku that supposedly the elite people lived inside a four walls surrounded by a moat which was to create the image of a sacred island. The outsiders were called commoners. Oh, I had a dream about this a few nights ago. It was really really strange.
It was like I was watching the dream, not in it(like a movie). There was people living outside in a desert type environment. But there was also people living inside a classic type environment. An outsider was gathering things and had a lookout because some of the insiders roamed around picking up outsiders never to be seen again. The outsider thought his lookout was taken so he dressed himself up and had a baby carriage with him and then went into the insiders environment. There was a head guy like a preacher type that influenced all the people. They seemed to be innocent like except for the head guy. The head guy found out about the outsider and called him a name which I can't remember but commoner sounds similar. The head guy said he was an outsider as well but is now an insider and took the outsider who snuck in and chopped one arm and one leg off on opposite sides.
A really really strange dream.afro

edit, nevermind, I get this dream although it probably has multiple meanings so I'll keep up.

The concentric rings of life.

I wonder why a cell is programed to die.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

An atrophic factor is a force that causes a cell to die. Only natural forces on the cell are considered to be atrophic factors, whereas, for example, agents of mechanical or chemical abuse or lysis of the cell are considered not to be atrophic factors.[by whom?] Common types of atrophic factors are:

Decreased workload
Loss of innervation
Diminished blood supply
Inadequate nutrition
Loss of endocrine stimulation
Senility
Compression

remember that is "negotiable" with environment

The Color Purple
Jan 28, 2014

Rediscovering F. A. Hayek’s The Sensory Order has been exciting.

Hayek began his inquiry into the foundations of theoretical psychology in 1919 before specializing in economics (and winning a Nobel Prize in that latter field in 1974). He didn’t publish The Sensory Order until 1952, when he found “with considerable surprise” that theoretical psychology “remained pretty much in the same state in which it had been” 30 years before. He attributed this stasis to “the prevalence during this period of an all too exclusively empirical approach and of an excessive contempt for ‘speculation’.

It seems almost as if ‘speculation’ (which, be it remembered, is merely another word for thinking) had become so discredited among psychologists that it has to be done by outsiders who have no professional reputation to lose.” (Preface, p. vi, 1976 paperback reprint by University of Chicago Press.) Hayek presents the fundamental problem with which psychology is concerned to be explaining the existence of and differences between the sensory order of our minds and the physical or objective order as delineated by the various sciences. It’s the distinction between things as related to us and things as related to each other.

For example, the sensory order classifies colors in a circle: red shades into blue through the color purple. But in the physical order the colors are a short segment of a much longer linear continuum, and purple doesn’t exist. Drawing on the largely physiological investigations of the previous century, Hayek notes that all nerve impulses are identical. A receptor cell discharges its tiny current; the next cell on the path to the brain is thereby stimulated to fire; and so on until the last cell in the brain fires. There’s no continuity in current and no variation in current: cells either fire or not. There’s no transfer of specific information. The only thing that distinguishes one nerve impulse from another is its location with respect to all other nerves...................

...................Hence each of the two physicists may be unable to perceive what the other is talking about. The “bottom line” conclusion of these two aspects of the sensory order is that paradigm shifts are just as inherent in our lives as the color purple.

Re: X Marks the Spot
In 1803 Giovanni Aldini (Galvani`s nephew) performed experiments, in public, upon the severed heads of "malefactors" despatched in Bologna and at Newgate, London. A few accounts of these horrific demonstrations -

A very ample series of experiments were made by Professor Aldini which show the eminent and superior power of galvanism beyond any other stimulant in nature. In the months of January and February last, he had the courage to apply it at Bologna to the bodies of various criminals who had suffered death at that place, and by means of the pile he excited the remaining vital forces in a most astonishing manner. This stimulus produced the most horrible contortions and grimaces by the motions of the muscles of the head and face; and an hour and a quarter after death, the arm of one of the bodies was elevated eight inches from the table on which it was supported, and this even when a considerable weight was placed in the hand.

George Forster was hung at 8am on 18th January 1803 at Newgate Prison, for the drowning of his wife and youngest child in the Paddington Canal. After hanging for an hour in sub-zero temperatures, Aldini procured the body and began his galvanic experiments.

On the first application of the process to the face, the jaws of the deceased criminal began to quiver, and the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and one eye was actually opened. In the subsequent part of the process the right hand was raised and clenched, and the legs and thighs were set in motion. Mr Pass, the beadle of the Surgeons’ Company, who was officially present during this experiment, was so alarmed that he died of fright soon after his return home.

“the jaw began to quiver, the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and the left eye actually opened … The action even of those muscles furthest distant from the points of contact with the arc was so much increased as almost to give an appearance of re-animation … vitality might, perhaps, have been restored, if many circumstances had not rendered it impossible.”

"Galvanism was communicated by means of three troughs combined together, each of which contained forty plates of zinc, and as many of copper. On the first application of the arcs the jaw began to quiver, the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and the left eye actually opened."

"The first of these decapitated criminals being conveyed to the apartment provided for my experiments, in the neighbourhood of the place of execution, the head was first subjected to the Galvanic action. For this purpose I had constructed a pile consisting of a hundred pieces of silver and zinc. Having moistened the inside of the ears with salt water, I formed an arc with two metallic wires, which, proceeding from the two ears, were applied, one to the summit and the other to the bottom of the pile. When this communication was established, I observed strong contractions in the muscles of the face, which were contorted in so irregular a manner that they exhibited the appearance of the most horrid grimaces. The action of the eye-lids was exceedingly striking, though less sensible in the human head than in that of an ox."

For the first time in history, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have captured how our brain makes memories in video, watching how molecules morph into the structures that, at the end of the day, make who we are. If there's a soul, this how it gets made.

Before this, Japanese scientists observed how a thought was formed, which was an entirely different process. According to the scientists, the has been a "technological tour de force:"

 Quoting: Face Palmer

Thread: For the first time in history, scientists have captured on video how our brain makes memories!

Evidence indicates that repeated neural stimulation increases the strength of synaptic connections by changing the shape of these interlocking dendrite "fingers." Beta-actin protein appears to strengthen these synaptic connections by altering the shape of dendritic spines. Memories are thought to be encoded when stable, long-lasting synaptic connections form between neurons in contact with each other

In the subsequent part of the process the right hand was raised and clenched, and the legs and thighs were set in motion. Mr Pass, the beadle of the Surgeons’ Company, who was officially present during this experiment, was so alarmed that he died of fright soon after his return home.

“the jaw began to quiver, the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and the left eye actually opened … The action even of those muscles furthest distant from the points of contact with the arc was so much increased as almost to give an appearance of re-animation … vitality might, perhaps, have been restored, if many circumstances had not rendered it impossible.”

"Galvanism was communicated by means of three troughs combined together, each of which contained forty plates of zinc, and as many of copper. On the first application of the arcs the jaw began to quiver, the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and the left eye actually opened."

"The first of these decapitated criminals being conveyed to the apartment provided for my experiments, in the neighbourhood of the place of execution, the head was first subjected to the Galvanic action. For this purpose I had constructed a pile consisting of a hundred pieces of silver and zinc. Having moistened the inside of the ears with salt water, I formed an arc with two metallic wires, which, proceeding from the two ears, were applied, one to the summit and the other to the bottom of the pile. When this communication was established, I observed strong contractions in the muscles of the face, which were contorted in so irregular a manner that they exhibited the appearance of the most horrid grimaces. The action of the eye-lids was exceedingly striking, though less sensible in the human head than in that of an ox."

How does someone die of fright?

Must be a heart attack huh.

I actually watched a show yesterday about people being frightened to death so that they could drain the adrenals for a drug high on others. It was fiction, lol
 Quoting: Fancypantz


Hi fancy hf but the drug is not fiction. Its called Adrenochrome. They make mention and use of it in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception.

He does, lol. One of my neighbors has one and I had to chase that thing for well over an hour trying to get it to go inside while they were out of town once. All they had was a towel, no treats or anything. It was horrible.

lol

Catching a pug be no easy business either. Wiggly little things.

He is really well behaved. I just took him out to do his business and now he has taken my slipper to his bed and is resting his face on it.

Good morning everyone.

Re: X Marks the Spot
well that is weird

Red, corresponding with fire, symbolizes good fortune and joy. Red is found everywhere during Chinese New Year and other holidays and family gatherings. A red envelope is a monetary gift which is given in Chinese society during holiday. The red color of the packet symbolizes good luck. Red is strictly forbidden at funerals as it is a traditionally symbolic color of happiness;[1] however, as the names of the dead were previously written in red, it may be considered offensive to use red ink for Chinese names in contexts other than official seals.

had this linked with the golden age post. There was a b word in this post.hiding
 Quoting: Fancypantz


The Chinese are interesting because they did suck a good job of keeping other cultures out of their continent for such a long time. They have many customs that seem to be unique to their culture alone. They also view white as a color of morning instead of black.

I saw it...but can't find the word which would have turned into what it said... blink

I can't figure out some of these new 'ban words'. Like the pug pillow post. And one last night to pi.

I can't seemingly respond to you pi. I will PM my response.

Frustrating...
 Quoting: Seer777


I'm gonna guess.... it's still in your outbox, saying unread?

This happened to me yesterday.... it was deleted upon sending.

I have an idea, however.... maybe try posting it, sentence by sentence.... if Meta does not mind....
 Quoting: pi


It is.

The post is seemingly innocuous. There is no links. Like the 'pug pillow' post. No reason to go unsent.

Is what it is I suppose.


'Desire and Will' was the premise.
