You know what is funny, all those ass-clowns who defended antonio davis for jumping in the stands after his wife. Then we see the video of his wife cutting the fool and acting like an ass-clown and realize that antonio had no buiness going into the stands and that bullplop about him seeing his wife in trouble doesn't hold water.
You ever pay attention to what peopl eat sometimes? You realize that the so called obesity epedemic is a farce. Doctors and researchers seem to be so busy looking for some genetic marker to give people an excuse for their pigging out. I won't argue that there are people out there who legitimately have a gentic problem but I bet the numbers are much smaller than people think. Besides if it was genetic, i'd first hypothesize that such a thing would probably not be isolated to single population group like americans and the whole world would have a problem. But they don't because diets differ and that is the main cause of being a fat-ass. I just look at what typical americans eat and it is horrible, but it is just what people are used to.
Today was a bad day for dumb-asses. I must have come across more than 50 examples of dumb-asses confident of their stupidity. I think about Hume's categorization of causation as some kind of biological habit and I think that he was right on target with it. Causation doesn't exist , it is probably a characteristic of the predictive structure of our brain applied to higher level concepts. Searching for final causality and expecting to reach some kind of answer is stupid.
I keep thinking more about Hume and Hawkins. I keep thinking about Hawkins hypothesis and philosophy. Hawkins hypothesis seems to fit and seems like a good basis to begin to try and explain many so called mysteries of the human mind. The whole predictive structure of the brain hypothesis would seem to offer a good view of why people do things and are a certain way. I just like taking that logical approach to things and trying to figure out something by reducing it to the smallest component you can understand and building from there. That unfortunately is severly lacking as a common method in everyday discourse.
