Lend Me Your Ear Ears are busy these days. A listening, caring available ear in increasingly difficult to find. Many seem permanently encased in the headphones of their own private interests. Others are busy vying for equal time with other parts of the body – such as an eye on the clock or a nose to the grindstone. Even a free ear isn’t necessarily free just to listen. When people come to to us with their troubles, many of us…
I know to the court I am to be silent but Chows 16% property tax ….Really? And how many people will lose their homes over the increase? The federal government let the immigrants in, let Federal government pay for housing. for food, for jobs, out of their own savings, and wages. Because tax payers had no vote, no right to any part of this decision making. Each family entering is suppose to be sponsored by another family, a church group,…
Expand your Reasoning for things that matter….Einstein. I love You, I love You, I love You…… was stated by me in 2016 Agape, Amour or Amore, and Eros: Agape…….The fatherly Love of God, as well as the reciprocal Love of God. It is related to brotherly Love. Amour…….A love affair, it comes from the Amore, the Italian word for Love Eros……..The Greek word for the God of Erotic Love, the sum of life preserving instincts that are manifested as impulses….
In non human cultures versus homo sapien cultures which have achieved “semantic universality” have of course used some information from biology, from anthropology for evolving brains and that is who we are today. Information is good to know, good to understand in the strong sense, why systems of agriculture seem to be failing us today, systems of community, and cultural similarities and why wars are taking place. I am not competing, but sharing relative data, as lucky me finds a…
“Selecting for” increased learning capacity sets the stage for the emerging cultures who are an important source of learned behaviour repertoires ( my learned examples are); routine behaviour patterns of positive behaviours that can be activated on appropriate occasions. This capacity has a neurological base and is dependent on the evolution of larger more complex brains, and a more “intelligent” species. (senses are the neurological base and the ability to learn daily). Many non human species are intelligent enough to…
As a tax payer it’s fine for Ontario and Quebec to ask for more money to help with the influx of immigrants, now here is another point, tax payers have been asking for you to lower costs and Ontario and Quebec are asking for Ottawa to increase costs. Every time Provinces ask for more money our individual costs go up, not down. You say do not cut back on immigration but you must think of your original tax payers, We…
Specific genes determine for example whether a species of fruit flies will fly up or downward when threatened by a predator, the laying of eggs, by a wasp in a particular kind of of caterpillar; the mating rituals of fish, the web building of spiders; the specialized behaviours of insects castes and countless other drives and instincts characteristic of animal species. It is important to understand how patterns of behaviour get established. Neo-Darwinian theory and Synthesis of genes are for…
The kind of research that you do as a scientist and the kinds of conclusions you come to are greatly influenced by the basic assumptions you make about the causes of evolution. Basic assumptions made by different disciplines or theoretical persuasions are called research strategies or paradigms. Emic and Etic conclusions can come to different conclusions. Emic perspectives refers to internal elements of the research and their functioning rather than in terms of the external framework. For example what results…
George Washington stated in the 1800’s “that all men are created equal.” George Washington wanted “Emancipation” to go through in the 1800’s. If in the 1800’s he wanted Emancipation, why in 2024, are we still slaves to our Economy, our governments, our bosses and in many cases our husbands. A woman’s perspective that has seen 5 generations of women be without treatment of worthiness. It is a firm, sound, fact that theories vs behaviours are extremely complex. From my perspective,…
I wanted to give a rebuttal to some ideas on Societies, Cultures and en-culturation, from the real terms of what Societies are, what Cultures are and what en-culturation is. When anthropologists speak of cultures they do not mean the literary and artistic achievements and standards of “cultured” elites. For anthropologists plumbers and farmers are as cultured as art collectors and concert goers, and studying the ordinary people is just as important as studying the lives of famous and influential…
