My Idling Engine: What is it like to be a squirrel?
http://genista.blogspot.com/2005/12/what-is-it-like-to-be-squirrel.html
Making noise, not getting anywhere. Saturday, December 24, 2005. What is it like to be a squirrel? I recently attended some of John Searle's Philosophy of Mind lectures, where he introduced seven such objections to materialism, including of course his own Chinese Room argument. On none of the seven did he manage to convince me, and I'll present my counterarguments here. I'll start with the cuddliest of the arguments, put forward by Thomas Nagel. What is it like to be a bat? Of batness. This is known ...

http://genista.blogspot.com/2005/12/jigsaw-pieces_05.html
Making noise, not getting anywhere. Monday, December 05, 2005. Only when we came back an hour later to pick up the order, it clocked in at $7.71. For a total of four prints. After I contested the sum, the clerk called in the photo assistant, who said, "I'll show you", opened the folder and triumphantly pulled out the passport photo print.

My Idling Engine: Paying through the Nose
http://genista.blogspot.com/2005/12/paying-through-nose.html
Making noise, not getting anywhere. Saturday, December 31, 2005. Paying through the Nose. On an episode of Whad'ya Know taped in Wyoming I just heard about a man who can place a penny on his tongue, move it up his nose in the back of his throat and retrieve it through the nostrils. Amazing, isn't it? He visited Letterman's show to demonstrate the penny come out of his nose. That could have been me! Posted by Kai at 12/31/2005 01:59:00 PM. Berkeley, California, United States.

http://genista.blogspot.com/2005/12/jigsaw-pieces_16.html
Making noise, not getting anywhere. Friday, December 16, 2005. This ploy is quite popular among marketing fucks, it seems. This is the second one in two weeks I received. Send magazine advertisements that look like an invoice, and some percentage of recipients will be suckered into actually paying and thus subscribing to your quality rag. Why, it's pure evil genius!

My Idling Engine: Stereotypes a go-go
http://genista.blogspot.com/2005/12/stereotypes-go-go.html
Making noise, not getting anywhere. Friday, December 16, 2005. Cognitive Daily The negative impact of positive stereotypes. Three groups of asian women were given math tests to perform. Each of the three group got a different focal questionnaire before, the first focused on the contestant's personality, the second on their race the third on their gender. Sounds like a fairy tale?
