THIS BLOG IS MERELY A  ' CRYSTALLIZED SNAPSHOT '
OF MY INCOMPLETE WORK IN 2006 + 2007.

 Posts flagged " ... " or " tbc ",
were " To Be Continued " at a later date ;
but this hope has had to be abandoned.

Blogging, like many I.T. activities, demands too much resources, including time.
I can see now why tumbleblogging developed.
I think we may rather be the better
if the whole blogging fad burnt itself out,
and we all returned to our pianoforte,
and stories or social chit~chat about the fire.
:)
Yes I idealise -
but there's a weighty point here.

( It may be rightly )
I value more
Reality
+
experiencing balanced intellectual / aesthetic / emotional / physical engagement
with
our fragile world of flora and fauna ;
other human beings ;
and my / our pressing problems ( with a view to solutions )

Aside from select social dabblings, such as chat and forum postings,
I choose to cease my involvement in SU.

SU has proved a sometimes frustrating and poorly-supported and -moderated service,
lacking the facility with which I hoped to best bless my audience :
importing and sharing my unusually big swag of ' AAA ' bookmarks
in a user-friendly fashion and without unjustifiable drain of time and effort.

Tools are created - or adopted - by humans to serve serve human needs or wants :
if a particular tool does not achieve one's needs / wants, logically, one should abandon it.

And yes,
I am weary of more - and less - than SU.

My apologies to all for help promised, but left unfinished.

" I   am   going .    I  am  leaving  NOW .    GOODBYE ! "

Interesting Argument About Global Warming&Video
Liked it Jun 23, 2007 9:29am 110 reviews •http://break.com/index/tough-to-argue...

A video especially of aid to those who are skeptical :

a reasonable and logical argument
from an intelligent fellow
demonstrating the only apparent logical response
to the current debate
[ however minor ]
re: the realities of global warming.

The video even closes with an appeal to viewers
to reply and highlight any error in reasoning,
as the presenter has presented his thought to others,
but noone has been able to refute his conclusion.

For the sake of argument
the speaker in the home-made video
assumes the answer to the environmental debate remains indeterminate or unknown
[ even graciously ignoring the overwhelming consensus of
  expert scientific opinion on the central facts ] ---
making his logic as powerfully conclusive and relevant
for those who now accept the warming hypothesis
as for those who now reject it.

I cannot see a flaw in the *core* logic here per se :
it is similar to the benefit-minus-cost comparison of choices
utilized to make decisions
e.g. by de Bono and, farther back, Pascal in his famous Wager
( Wikipedia it : 'tis weighty );
and the Wager IS certainly logically and mathematically sound,
if one remembers its proper domain.
( Pascal assumed in his milieu
that there were only two reasonable options re: religion -
to act as if the *Christian* God existed, or not,
so his ' formula ' only deals with these two options. )

I gather Pascal prob. postulated his Wager
inspired by the mathematical formulae used by horse gamblers to determine
which horse was the more reasonable bet in a race -
before his conversion he was quite the gambler etc.

If you do see a mistake in the video, contact the auteur and myself ! -
I would also like to know
and will add constructive contributions to this post etc.
