I think that cognitive scientists would support the view that our visual system does not directly represent what is out there in the world and that our brain constructs a lot of the imagery that we believe we are seeing.

To every object there correspond an ideally closed system of truths that are true of it and, on the other hand, an ideal system of possible cognitive processes by virtue of which the object and the truths about it would be given to any cognitive subject.

The system is the work of art; the visual work of art is the proof of the System. The visual aspect can't be understood without understanding the system. It isn't what it looks like but what it is that is of basic importance.

Fairy Sightings
How blessed am I
To view the world sublime
Where imagery and reality
In logic do collide
It's God whose wisdom
Made us all
In this we put our trust
Are fairy's more far fetched
Than mortal man from dust? ?
Open up your eyes
And to your great surprise
A view within the view of life
New dimensions will arise

Experiments In The Rain
O to construct experiments and cry,
Just to lie in front of the king.
Rain has fallen from high in the sky,
Water so acidic the scientists want to bellow
Insults at a passer-by, the one who constructs.
His entrance into the view high upon the balcony
Is followed by a fall to the ground so slowly
It breaks his head finally.
Enough of this time with this spectator of sport,
They are steaming with fury at the belittlement
Of this strange sportsman of the little kind.
O to reside in this game for long is too sensible
That we sometimes cry for more pain the longer we play.

I think almost always that what gets me going with a story is the atmosphere, the visual imagery, and then I people it with characters, not the other way around.

Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language.

It is important that an aim never be defined in terms of activity or methods. It must always relate directly to how life is better for everyone. . . . The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system. The aim must include plans for the future. The aim is a value judgment.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

A Dark Chocolate Remedy
Dark chocolate is very beneficial
It is high in antioxidants that push a button
improving a deficient immune system…
also has flavonoids to help the brain function
When the elderly drink a cup of cocoa…
their cognitive powers seem to be improved
The scientific studies show promise...
a dark chocolate remedy could be approved
Wouldn't it be great if all it took was chocolate
to eliminate dementia and paralyzing strokes
It would be an agreeable and mouthwatering
treatment…retaining memories for aging folks

Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain.

If Baltimore's view, that scientists who do not take the words of authorities are far removed from the ordinary behavior of scientists, prevails in the scientific community, then something fundamental, very serious, and very disturbing is happening to the scientific community.

Think Visual
Productivity is getting higher and higher oh, oh, yeh
But profitability is getting tighter and tighter oh, oh, yeh
When you see our face in the market place we gotta clean cut image to keep
(the competition is getting tighter and tighter)
We gotta advertise, we gotta merchandise, ooh, oh, yeh
Flash those teeth
Competitions on the rise
Open those eyes better get computerised
Think visual, think visual, think visual
Think visual, think visual, show your personality
Marketing says we gotta merchandise
But economy says we gotta minimise huh -
We gotta budget to face and the marketplace is full of competition, competition
Think digital, synthisise, computerise, think visual
Productivity, marketability, higher and higher
Flash those teeth, open those eyes
Think visual, think visual
Flash those teeth, competitions on the rise
Open those eyes, better get computerised
Think visual, think visual, think visual
Think visual, think visual, push the button and see
Marketing say we gotta goal to chase
But economy says we gotta budget to face
Get your attitude straight, cos its all in your mind
And its never too late to get a new design
And if you wanna compete you gotta visualise
Flash those teeth, come on open those eyes
Think visual

Many scientists will have to contribute to the solution of the great problem; they will have to follow up and measure all those phenomena in which the atomic structure is directly expressed.

Scientists for President
Scientists give you the straight line,
they experiment and then hypothesis.
Their experiments are not based on lies.
They are not funded by lobbyists,
that have agendas and lists.
Scientists are not trying to impress.
they don’t keep things close to the vest.
Scientists are here to help the environment.
They don’t need scandals and to repent.
They will listen to everyone’s side,
they formulate and do not criticize.
Once they know “what’s working” they
“share” the surprise.
Now American’s let US take a different view,
of how the government should be run not just for a few,
but for the People, Animals, Wild Life, and Plant Life,
on Which It Stands,
let US Bring Back Integrity To This Land.

Being Human
Day dragging on, sluggish system slowing due
to cheese grillers with which Sunday dinner was
enlivened, not even the psychology of buying a
little doll to accompany me through the woes of
assembly line translations proves very helpful
My guru dancing while chanting: Just be glad, just
be glad, just be glad to be alive - idiot; we all need
neuropeptide Y, a brain chemical that makes people
feel healthy - found in alcohol, scientists think NPY
pills could reduce consumption of alcohol
Are they mad, how absolutely boring and unromantic,
imagine replacing the words of Red, Red Wine with
White White Antidepressants - popping pills instead
of staggering about while watching the heroine leave
with another man - scientists have no understanding
Of the aesthetics when the suffering hero is scorned
and the audience's unbounded sympathy with his at-
tempts to obliterate his pain with wine or another
alcoholic concoction - this is what being human
is all about!

Brain Dead
Turn me off
Pull the plug
Leave me with some dignity
I am not
What I was
And I dont need the sympathy
Alive inside me
No one can hear me
Brain dead
Im not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot
Paralysed
In my shell
Enduring every
Endless day
Immobilized
On my back
Aware of everything
They say
Extricate me
Eliminate me
Brain dead
Im not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot
I cant blink my eye or cry
Or even speak
They crowd around my bed
Condescending words are said
Thinking I dont hear or know
What is going on - hello!
Cant you suckers hear my cries
From inside Im still alive
Its my decision to abort
Turn off the goddamn life support
Let me pass
From this world
So I fade away in peace
Comprehending
Unrelenting
Brain dead
Im not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot
Brain dead
Im not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot

An Array And Plethora
An array and plethora,
Of love...
Is too diverse for me.
I like it,
Directly!
An array and plethora,
Of love...
Is too diverse for me.
I need it,
More directly!
I want to know that which is given,
Has no loopholes I could miss.
I want to know my feelings felt,
Aren't pushed aside to dust on shelves.
An array and plethora,
Of love...
Is too diverse for me.
I like it,
Directly!
When I'm wrapped in a hug,
And my lips are kissed...
I like it,
Directly!
When I see eyes on me melt with mist.
I like this...
Directly!
I like to know that which is given,
Has no loopholes I could miss.
Oh,
I like it more directly.
I like to know that which is given,
Has no loopholes I could miss.
And...
I like it more directly.

Contrary to popular accounts, very few scientists in the world - possibly none - have a sufficiently thorough, ""big picture"" understanding of the climate system to be relied upon for a prediction of the magnitude of global warming. To the public, we all might seem like experts, but the vast majority of us work on only a small portion of the problem.
