If it were created properly (without the "spaces", you would see a link which says "Hell's Blog" that would jump you to his website when you click on it. <BR/><BR/>Please note I have added spaces in between letters so as to not actually create a real hypertext link (if I did, you would only see the link and not the writing and therefore you would not be able to read it). <BR/><BR/>When you create a real hypertext link, do not add the spaces I added between letters.<BR/><BR/>< a h r e f = " http://suddendebt.blogspot.com/ " > Hell's Blog < / a ><BR/><BR/>You do need to need to have a space between the "a" and the "href" in the "a href" tag:<BR/><BR/>a href<BR/><BR/>It is fun. Give it a try.<BR/><BR/>RegardsThaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700253024420397221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456160955747424493.post-44441984537389809732009-03-28T03:27:00.000-07:002009-03-28T03:27:00.000-07:00Good morning, Thai.One of my close friends sent me...Good morning, Thai.<BR/>One of my close friends sent me a You-tube link for a little film called "Extreme Sheep LED art".<BR/>You can watch it and exult with your 7 (?) year old.<BR/>And then share.<BR/>While I am NOT TOO LAZY to read 300+ page books these days, I AM too lazy to learn how to link over the Internet (yuck yuck the computer.

I did not come to this subject matter from either the perspective or languages or humanities or psychoanalysis so while we may be absolutely talking about the same thing often, we are often doing so in different "languages" (yours humanities/literature/psychoanalysis, mine medicine/economics/evolutionary psychology/information science/etc...) and it can therefore seem as you say like we are talking past each other all the while saying the same thing.<BR/><BR/>As for saying constants are not constant, i.e. they are variables (what you call "interpretations"), I hope I was making it clear that this is the central point of my entire post. <BR/><BR/>I completely agree with <B><I>"we MUST give individual, subjective MEANING to them"</I></B>. This concept is actually a fundamental law of information science (forgive me that I have forgotten the name of the law right now... but I talked about it in a presentation I gave to a business group about a year ago which you can view <A HREF="http://lookingthruadifferentlens.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-be-giving-following-talk-to-business.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> (It is in <A HREF="http://picasaweb.google.com/TMcGreivy/TheWorldThruADifferentLensPartII#5161458368018612146" REL="nofollow">part II slide 11 onward</A>).<BR/><BR/>As an aside, the same "money is faith" issue you talk about on some of Hell's posts is also in the presentation (<A HREF="http://picasaweb.google.com/TMcGreivy/TheWorldThruADifferentLensPartI#5161090499774741234" REL="nofollow">presentation I slide 32 onward</A>). <BR/><BR/><BR/>And if you have never read him, I suspect you might enjoy one of my favorite authors, Steven Pinker- both a linguist and an evolutionary psychologist; I reference him in this very post if you will remember. <A HREF="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/steven_pinker_on_language_and_thought.html" REL="nofollow">He would absolutely agree with your point about language and thought</A>. <BR/><BR/>As for "I still prefer reading the Elizabethan metaphysical poets", please do! I take no offense. I am the first to admit I write very poorly and completely agree with anyone that says it is far preferable to read from people who say the same thing more eloquently. Alas, it is what it is.Thaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700253024420397221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456160955747424493.post-78152174786975847632009-03-26T01:49:00.000-07:002009-03-26T01:49:00.000-07:00The problem with what you express as being constan...The problem with what you express as being constants, Thai, is that they are interpretations (even if they are held by the subject to be truth(s). We tend to be rather ABSOLUTE in our formulations for what we hold to be truth...) Interpretations, fortunately evolve over time with new experiences.<BR/>Psychoanalytic theory holds (rightly I feel) that the real CONSTANTS are those that life in the physical body impose : birth, aging, death.<BR/>We MUST face these "facts" (although our attitude radically affects the processes themselves...)<BR/>And we MUST give individual, subjective MEANING to them. To this extent, refusing to give meaning, as some attempt, is just another way of ....giving meaning.<BR/><BR/>While I think that I understand what you're saying, Thai, (perhaps I am arrogant, who knows ?), I still prefer reading the Elizabethan metaphysical poets, aka John Donne, William Shakespeare, George Herbert, to sink my teeth into THEIR images.<BR/>Like fine wine. Or heady perfume.<BR/>But I realize that we all don't have the same...constants ?<BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
