1. Phone Alone.
In 1910, the WaPo discovered cell phones. Well, walkie-talkies, actually. These would enable shy lovers, as WaPo imagined, to call their beloved and confess their love without embarrassment..Wireless Telephones

Epigenetics means that one organism's learnings could be inherited by its offspring.IOW, it's not all Darwinian natural selection.Epigenetics
3. Lamarck's Revenge
Speaking of epigenetics... Unified Theory of Evolution4. If We Can Send a Man to the Moon...
...why can;t we send a man to the moon? We no longer have the skill sets that sent Apollo out. We'd be starting from scratch if we tried. Back to the Moon!5. Arbitrium Liberum
Aquinas always said 'free judgement,' not 'free will.' The fMRI argument is full of crap.Free Will
Bother, but your link to 'Free Will' directs one's browser 'Back to the Moon' (ha!).
ReplyDeleteBy the by, can you recommend any interesting books of a statistical bent?
Link fixed, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou want books with math or text?
Fix confirmed!
DeleteMath, please, but I'm sure I'd appreciate the latter too.
I like the idea of lunar weather predictions. Much easier than Earth I'd guess. "The next 14 days will be very hot. The 14 days after that will be very cold..."
ReplyDeleteEpigenetics is so interesting-- I wonder if folks have done obvious but difficult things like use dogs bred for a specific personality and IVF'd them into a different, oppositely selected breed?
ReplyDeleteHello, Michael Flynn--I just finished Eifelheim, and must thank you for mentioning one of my earliest papers in the early pages of the book. As for your story, I enjoyed it as much as one can enjoy a book featuring a plague while in the midst of one. Thankfully, ours is far milder, for most of the afflicted at least. Best, John Alden
