    Speaking 2 languages may delay getting Alzheimer's

    Theists and atheists( P.S.)

    P.S. Most debates are probably not about theism. But I am interested in debates between theists and scientists, outside of politics, outside of conflicts between religions, etc. they become futile when methods of refutation acceptable in one world (material or spiritual) are used in another...

    Theists and atheists( P.S.)

    Mathematicians accept axioms, they call them self-evident truths. For example--only one straight line passes through two points. Then they use logic, often formal logic, and derive consequences resulting from what has already been accepted (axioms). These consequences are called proved theorems...

    Theists and atheists( P.S.)

    No, I am not thinking about the views about secular views or political views. The futile "we are better than you" debates are those about God. Note that I deliberately avoided the word "religion." It stands for much more than "theism." Dealing with too many topics at the same time is not likely...

    Internet TV

    I was told that buying a HDTV, and signing a long term contract with a cable company, is no longer a good thing to do. The better alternative is to watch most of the same programs, and many more, on the computer screen. The resolution is as good as on HDTV sets, or better. The name of this...

    Speaking 2 languages may delay getting Alzheimer's

    That reminded me of an old joke: 1) What do we call a person who speaks many languages? Multi-lingual. ... Good 2) What do we call a person who speaks three languages? Trilingual. ... Good 3) What do we call a person who speaks two languages? Bilingual. ... Good 4) What do we call a person...

    Self Publishing v/s Traditional Publishing

    Why do I think that self-publishing two of my books was a big mistake? Because only a tiny fraction of books ordered by big stores is self-published. Nearly all books reviewed in newspapers and magazines are from reputable publishers. Promoting books via Internet is not as effective as...

    Borders bordering on bankruptcy

    I was watching the first day of "closing time" period yesterday, near my place in New Jersey. Most books were selling at 20% discount. The line to the counter was very long; people were buying. Ludwik .

    Browsing the Internet I found a website with a one-year-old thread entitled “Ethical Stalinism.” The person who started the thread wrote: Marx predicted a future revolution in which the working class would own the means of production. Lenin realized it would take too long and advocated a...
