Scientific study only takes you so far… Wanted to try older forms…magic, superstition, all have some basis in fact… Contact with parallel dimension like this would have been communicating with “spirit world,” summoning demons… Like thing inside me…

Cool book cover — but as for the content — psychology gives itself WAY to much credit in claiming to be a science.  In my orbit it ranks about as high as tarot cards or astrology.

Science Fair Project of the Day: “Which Music Will My Cats Like?”

Purpose: “The purpose of my experiment was to see what kind of music would put my cats to sleep.”
Hypothesis: “I think that they will fall asleep to classic music.”
Results: “Sasha licked herself and Sadie slept through both songs.”
Conclusion: “My hypothesis was wrong, because they did not care either way.”

Yep. Sounds about right.

The Homunculus Objection: “If what we saw were images of things and not the things themselves, there would have to be an internal agent, a man-analogue or homunculus, that could look at the images in order for perception to occur. But this man-analogue could not perceive any images unless it too had an internal homunculus that could perceive images. We have the beginning of an infinite regress.” - Anthony Birch “Standard Objections to Mental Images”

Ah, Science.

IBM to Build “Thinking” Computers Modeled on the Brain
Apparently the dream of AI dies hard.  Seems like every generation another group of scientists, ignoring their own historical failures, will set out to create Artificial Intelligence (AI).
I’m not sure of the reasoning behind recreating something that has been around for thousands of years…I mean isn’t that the very definition of “re-inventing the wheel”? I guess science must be it’s own reward…
