Hi,
I have accidentally found this forum a few months ago and finally got around to register.
I am a female homo saphiens and currently live in northen Europe.
I am interested in everything that stimulates the thinking process and in general I stay away from strong opinions, because I believe that the moment I make a strong opinion about something, I am bound to be wrong. I like to keep my doors open.
Well, aside of that I love birds, lucid dreaming and procrastinating...
Hello to everyone!

... The truth is a moving target and the object is to get close because you can only hit it by accident...
After all most scientific break throughs were based on accidents!
I like that!
I would have to disagree with that...In fact, progress has seemed to be in fits and starts, but has been constant, because discoveries have improved upon our senses, and our improved senses have allowed a greater understanding...
I see from the News Hour last night, that America is losing its edge in computers and computer technology... It is inevitable given the export of capital, but is accelerated by the fact that education is denied to people from this country... The people who might feed future innovation are those with a great deal of drive and ambition from places like China and India, and they are welcome at our universities, but the price of a person from America getting an education is often the shared indebtedness of his or her whole family... We are starved of education at lower levels, and empoverished for education at higher levels and in part it is because so long as the employers think they can import foreign engineers to do what uneducated Americans cannot do they will not feed the universities or give anyone a hand getting an education... It is a good course to follow if you want to destroy yourself as a world power, but to maximize profit -that is what is done, so that education and capital are both exported, and we will be left without options or defense....To have high profits this land is being transformed into part of the third world...
But most of us try to invent something using the knowledge of other people. We are often only putting the known facts together. I am glad my "introducing myself" has already led to getting me to think! Thank you Fido!
