“This could open up amazing new possibilities of dealing with memory loss problems, interfacing our brains with hybrid devices to augment and 'refresh' our memories,” said Tuszynski. “More importantly, it could lead to new therapeutic and preventive ways of dealing with neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia, whose incidence is growing very rapidly these days.”
Not to mention "the black shakes".
But I don't think we'll see anything useful come from this research, because everybody knows that socialist medicine (like they have in Canada) is second rate. To really come up with a profitable, er... effective cure, you need capitalism involved.
What captialism? Capitalism doesn't exist anywhere in the world. What you are talking about is state capitalism....aka socialist capitalism; That's what we have here. Leaders of industry know that capitalism doesn't work. That's why they like a nice, rich government they control to bail them out. Business couldn't stand up to the ravages of the market for one minute without a hand-out from good old socialism. That's why business is perfectly happy when individuals pay taxes, so they can do their socialist funded R&D and get bailed out by socialism and enjoy generous socialist hand-outs. Look it up...that's NOT capitalism, so stop calling it that, Orwell.
So, it's not 'the illumnati' (sp?) or beast 666 or whatever, but conspracies (if you must use that word) do exist and have always existed. Groups of wealthy land owners, business interests and elite government do and always have gotten together to plan society. That's just how things operate. The phrase "conspriacy theory" is just a hackneyed term used to discourage institutional analysis....probably coined and popularized by the aforementioned forces. If you don't think that sort of thing happens, you're just a dupe who doesn't read history or have eyes to see.
21. For other examples of capitalists' conscious discussions of the necessity of "creating wants," see for example, Aviva Chomsky, West Indian Workers and the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica, 1870-1940, Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1996. An excerpt (pp. 56-59):
[The United Fruit] company claimed in its propaganda that its role was to instill consumer values among its workers. . . . In 1929, Crowther, another United Fruit biographer, explicitly explained the importance of the spread of a consumer mentality as he waxed eloquent on the virtues of capitalism and bemoaned the immoral effects of a subsistence economy: "The mozos or working people [in Central America] have laboured only when forced to and that was not often, for the land would give them what little they needed." But this could be changed, he explained, by infusing these laborers with the desire for upward mobility. "The desire for goods, it may be remarked, is something that has to be cultivated. In the United States this desire has been cultivated. . . . American movies, radio, and especially magazines were everywhere, and "our advertising is slowly having the same effect as in the United States -- and it is reaching the mozos. For when a periodical is discarded, it is grabbed up, and its advertising pages turn up as wall paper in the thatched huts. I have seen the insides of huts completely covered with American magazine pages. . . . All of this is having its effect in awakening desires."
20. On British capitalists' discussions of the need to "create wants" in Jamaica after the abolition of slavery in the 1830s, see for example, Thomas Holt, The Problem of Freedom: Race, Labor, and Politics in Jamaica and Britain, 1832-1938, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992, especially 44-73. This study notes that as abolition was being prepared in Jamaica, British Member of Parliament Rigby Watson argued on June 10, 1833 (p. 54):
"To make them labour, and give them a taste for luxuries and comforts, they must be gradually taught to desire those objects which could be attained by human labour. There was a regular progress from the possession of necessaries to the desire of luxuries; and what once were luxuries, gradually came, among all classes and conditions of men, to be necessaries. This was the sort of progress the negroes had to go through, and this was the sort of education to which they ought to be subject in their period of probation [after emancipation]."
Similarly, John Daughtrey remarked (p. 71):
"Every step they take in this direction is a real improvement; artificial wants become in time real wants. The formation of such habits affords the best security for negro labour at the end of the apprenticeship."
The British leaders also addressed the problem of the fertile land that would be available to the newly freed slaves (p. 73):
Early in 1836, Lord Glenelg [the Colonial Secretary] forwarded to all the West Indian governors a dispatch addressing one of these policy problems. He began by noting that during slavery, labor could be compelled to be applied wherever the owner desired. Now, with the end of apprenticeship, the laborer would apply himself only to those tasks that promised personal benefit. Therefore, if the cultivation of sugar and coffee were to continue, "we must make it the immediate and apparent interest of the negro population to employ their labour in raising them." He was apprehensive about their ability to do this, repeating the now familiar maxim that given the demographic patterns of former slave colonies such as Jamaica -- "where there is land enough to yield an abundant subsistence to the whole population in return for slight labour" -- blacks would not work. . . . "Should things be left to their natural course, labour would not be attracted to the cultivation of exportable produce. . .." Glenelg went on to prescribe the means by which the government would interdict these natural proclivities. It was essential that the ex-slaves be prevented from obtaining land.
Not a conspiracy, that's just how society was set up...it's well documented. Try living off of the land sometime; you can't and the reason being is you're compelled to work. You can't be literally enslaved, so you've got to be compelled, otherwise you may find another way. Creating wants isn't a "conspriacy theory", but it isn't something that's talked about on Oprah. Does that make it a conspiracy theory? No, just makes it something you're not aware of. Take Jamaica, for example. When business in Britain knew slavery was on the way out, business asked government how the hell they'd be able to operate there without slavery. Creating wants was openly discussed (I guess you could call it a conspriacy). So they'd create wants in the society, glamorize buying things and theoretically the people would volunteer to take jobs in order to have "things". It didn't work out too well becuase it was simple to live off of the land there and many people were content to do just that. So to fix that, the British goverment seized the land and removed the population by force, effectively forcing the people to live in their economic model and THAT worked. If you're trespassing, you can't live off the land. How is this any different than here? It's not. If you don't beleive it, then you just don't know how things operate. Hint, it's a little deeper than what you'll read about in the NYT. You're living in wage slavery (which was termed just a hundred years ago...in more honest times), but you probably don't even think about it. Doesn't mean wage slavery is a conspriacy theory. Try not showing up to your job tomorrow and see what happens. You are compelled to work, like it or not. I guess it's a conspiracy that's hundreds of years old. Youre right!;-)
Liver probably does the conversion at its leisure, instead of having the salicylic acid dosed into the blood stream all at once, but I'm just guessing. It's something you'd probably want to research, if you plan to take a dose of aspirin every day. Can't imagine there isn't a downside to either, but natural remedies tend to have less side effects and this one is so obvious (aspirin was isolated from willow bark), that it would be tough for me to ignore. I don't plan to take a daily dose of either.
Aspirin is already converted to salicylic acid (I think), so you may be better off (study this) with the natural precursor 'Willow Bark', that way the liver converts the substance to salicylic acid and doesn't take a pounding from aspirin. Don't know if it works (obviously), but if I wanted to take aspirin daily, I'd take it that way instead, since it may be kinder and gentler on your system. You can die from other things besides cancer and heart disease...like a failed liver or thin blood.
Actually, Politicians do their jobs *perfectly*. Their job is to bilk the treasury, hand the money over to corporations (and take some from corporations for themselves) and keep the duped citizenry in just enough suspension of disbelief to stop an angry mob overrunning DC. It takes real skill, but they've been doing a great job so far!!
That's all true and it has nothing to do with your safety or health, but a lot to do with keeping everyone part of "the system". That was well understood when the country was founded. Keep those mice on the wheel!!
Dave420 is one to talk? He was referring to a username that contains 'Amiga' during a discussion about Amiga computers. How does '420' have anything to do with objectivity during an Amiga discussion? Duh?
Isn't it a little ironic posting as an AC, but asserting privacy has no value and that it should be given up for better lousy TV? That is truly redonk.
Then blame the faculty that fears the parents who are in total denial. I know that my 14 year old nephews knew what a midget fingerbanging herself was by the age of 12, if not sooner. Banning Enders friggin' Game is a lot about being in denial of reality, not to mention far too little far too late. Do they know what those kids chat and text about?? I ran (ops engineering) the text messaging service for AT&T for years and a quick 'tail -f' of the logs on any given SMS server would reveal that they aren't talking about the latest hair style, unless it was regarding pubes. After running T-Mobile's MMS system for 3 years, I can assure you they're not texting art photos, either. Parents need to wise up. Unleash the full internet on your kids with any connected device and they'll soon know a lot more than Enders Game. If you don't get them a device with those capabilities, they'll still see it all at their little friend's house. Give it up...pandoras box is wide open and it's too late to ban books. The things I've seen. MY EYES!! MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!!!
We don't even learn from recent, known history and act accordingly, so why expect much from this new (mostly irrelevant) information? This is a fun project for young elites whos parents are filthy rich enough to send them to Harvard. For the rest, who are just elite enough (say top 20%) to have any leisure time to even care, there might be a website set up where you can click on an interactive map (table scraps). Yeah, cultures need water and water comes after the civilization is formed when the soil dries up. Mind blowing. Yeah, that's a lot more pertinent than hmm say information from 60 years ago that might slow our march to fascism. For some, this is information your big distraction, for others (the bottom 80%), it's American Idol. Whatever, as long as you're not thinking of the big fat ugly elephant that's sitting in the middle of the room. Must take a lot of discipline to be so blind. The type of discipline they teach at Harvard and on TV.
My phone was built by well compensated earth ponies in Manechuria. The batteries were charged by unicorns and are everlasting. The phones delivered to localm stores by pegasusususes in gluten-free, dolphin-free, carbon-free, fat-free, Beiber-free packaging. I am therefore morally superior to you all. BOW TO ME!
If what you're trying to say by your humourous post is that there's no way around ruining everything so we can have cheap junk, it's (hopefully) just not true. I don't know of any law of nature that says profit has to be first before all. Before the environment, before human rights and dignity, before any social welfare that might benefit an actual human being. I don't know of any law of nature the says that. In fact, I think the way things are going is completely unnatural and destructive to any natural force, including the envioronment and people's natural desire to enjoy life and be healthy.
If you're one of the people who think that the only incentive to get people to innovate is money, well, I hope you're wrong. Because if you're right, we're all toast. Dead. If you're just joking and mean nothing by what you say, then I advise you to wake up. It's not a joke. The future of mankind is at stake and it's not a joking matter. If everything has to be linked to money, there won't be a future for you to joke around in.
Everything we're doing has to drastically change. Farming methods, how we eat, how we socialize, how we consume media, how we get around, how we design our cities, on and on. If these things don't change, which from your post, it seems you either don't take it seriously or think they can't change, we are all screwed. The only thing that will change those things is to end corporate rule and end "profit at any cost". If that doesn't end...again, not a joking matter, you're a dead man (or woman). If you want to argue and think I'm wrong, you don't have a future. Yeah, it's that dire. So wipe the smile off your face and wake up, joker.
The fact is, the way we have society set up and corporations set up, there aren't any good options. We're all allowing this current paradigm to continue...basically corporate rule. With the goal of business being maximum profit at all costs, externalities be damned, there aren't any good options until you start to think outside the current economic paradigm. What I'm saying is that the way corporations/businesses are set up, we can't help but do evil as a society. So the answer to the original quesiton of this post "Any smart phones made under worker friendly conditions"....of course the answer is no. In fact, everything we do is basically evil. When you show up to work at the fascist corporation that elslaves you and collect a paycheck, you're part of the evil. No good can or will come from a society that is based on the current goals of the entities that rule it...profit at any cost. Just pick up a newspaper....every awful thing that's happening is rooted in that one goal and it's not going to change until people act to change it. Greed isn't good. Greed doesn't work. You'll never find an ethical smart phone, or anything else for that matter, until things drastically change. And for those of you who are going to say that some companies are ethical...yeah maybe.5% and the rest that seem less evil just have a great PR machine. Oh and the only reason people are keying in on the Smartphone or Apple is because America's PR machine has accidentally caught a snag and has caused the bewildered herd to think. You probably spend a heck of a lot more $ every year on non-smartphone items that are made under similar or worse conditions, but since the media/American PR has allowed you to think of smartphones, you're thinking of them. Don't think you're thinking outside the control of PR. It really is amazing and must take amazing discipline to be so blind. Just smartphones? Really?
Board gaming with friends is nothing like your WoW addiction. One is interactive with in-person friends and requires you to have some, the other probably is social retardation to a degree. Personally, I'd have more fun going the WoW route, but don't dare. Frankly, I think Will would make more money if he'd just break down and do the gay pron.
I chose to throw money at the problem. A new 3500 mAh battery solved all tedious "smartphone" battery problems. If you've got an iPhone....;( Yes, my phone is fat now, but it's also Phat
I recall the reason the animals weren't harmed during testing was because they were "sterile" and had been bred for the lab, so the animals didn't have real immune systems, like a normal person or animal living in the wild. I read that the cytokine storm the humans experienced would have happened in an animal with a more devleoped immune system.
Seems like most Netflix viewers might not even really understand what that contract means. I've read there have been some hiccups in actual courts about pushing "I agree" buttons...one judge said something like "Who is going to read and understand 3 pages of legal jargon before doing.... ". Netflix probably worries (rightly) that they have some legal exposure are trying to mitigate any way they can. It's easy and cheap to tack on an I agree button and people are accustomed to clicking them.
Wasn't the point. Read my original post. Fact remains; no good can, will or has come of for profit corporations who are obligated to maximize sharholder value ONLY.
