Like quantum objects, thoughts seem to obey the uncertainty principle. Goswami notes, "You can never simultaneously keep track of both the content of a thought and where the thought is going.."

The Hin-Jew

When I write, it helps to post things on here...I get a better sense of what its like when its out in the open, and of course I dig any feedback...This is supposed to go in the Government Department Newsletter for my teacher and boss...

Forty one long revolutions around the sun marks the end of Professor of Government Steven Hoffmann’s full-time teaching career at Skidmore College. As of the fall of 2008, Professor Hoffmann will migrate to half-time duty informing the bright minds of Skidmore on the current political challenges we face in our world.

Since my first semester at Skidmore, I have had the privilege of learning with the man whose career has been to say the least, outstanding. What Professor Hoffmann brings to the Department is not only enormous experience and expertise, but brilliant and inspiring character that holds true in the face of the seemingly endless torrent of atrocities and ambiguities in world politics. I often find it difficult to imagine four more seconds of such mind-grinding work, let alone four decades, and yet I see Steve bright eyed and smiling nearly every day he’s on the job.

Through my studies one thing I have been able to conclude is that the increasing level of complexity in the world is strangely met by a similarly complex level of beauty. For example one can sign onto the Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia authored by users all around the world) and find an image graphing the World Wide Web. What they will find is a staggeringly intricate picture not unlike something taken from the Hubble Telescope. For me, this is something along the lines of when people first caught a glimpse of our beautiful planet from space. It contains a sort of positive shock-value; a testament to our limitless imagination.

I asked Professor Hoffmann what he hoped his students would take away from his class apart from the standard plethora of information he offers and after a moment he replied: “The ability to have their writing and thinking reflect the complexity they will run into, the complexity that is out there.” Taking one of his classes, whether it is “Military and Political Lessons from WWII” or “What the United States Does Wrong in the World: Views from India and Answers from Washington”, always propels me into the unyielding intricacies while his delivery, his scholarship, and his life often seal the beauty.

I laugh sometimes when he asks me to perform an incredibly easy task such as uploading a syllabus to the Web or when I catch him typing something with only two fingers, but I am at the same time in complete awe of his perseverance. Covering and teaching topics like the Middle East and foreign policy, subjects unfortunately foreign to many Americans, is not an easy task for any, and perhaps as significant as being on the front lines.

When I asked Professor Hoffmann what advice he could offer in avoiding some of the mistakes we find ourselves with today he noted, “Don’t elect people of strong ideological positions. Find problem solvers.” I hate to sound like a tech-freak, but I can see this wisdom in the image of the web. The amalgamation of dots and colors and lines, to me gives no indication of ideology, but rather a solidification of our inherent connectedness, our ceaseless dependence, and our uncompromising diversity.

Thank you very much Professor Hoffman for holding out until I got here, it has been a pleasure and I wish you well.

Nassim Knows...

My brain was exploded into pieces recently by the six hour presentation given by Nassim Haramein detailing his Unified Field Theory of Everything. I will not try to encapsulate the amazing research and conclusions drawn but will strongly urge everyone to take the time to soak in this revolutionary research. I have ripped all four DVDs and am more than willing to disseminate them. I have yet to find a feasible way to host the 4GBs online but am happy to burn the quicktime files to DVD and send them out via mail to anyone...just post your address.

I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.

Dear Mr. Roberts,

I am a student of Government and have grown to heavily respect your views and experience over the past year. I came across your article today, and it served as a powerful summary of many things I had been mulling over for months now.

I was wondering, since you are an American citizen, if there are any precautions you yourself are taking in order to face the obstacles we as a nation now face. I do not know how you feel about personal questions, but the more I research the more I am wondering what people who are intelligent, innocent, and have good hearts can do.

Do we give more money to the economy? Do we save it? Do we place it in gold, or grains?
These are just a few things I have been thinking about, thank you very much for your time.

when a country makes such serious errors and is in
such wicked hands, it is hard for an individual to
know what to do. leave, perhaps

Telecom Immunity

A new whistleblower has come forward stating that they have "unfettered access to customers voice and data packets"

Mention this to me

A "plastic soup" of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area twice the size of the continental United States, scientists have said....Dr Eriksen said the slowly rotating mass of rubbish-laden water poses a risk to human health, too. Hundreds of millions of tiny plastic pellets, or nurdles – the raw materials for the plastic industry – are lost or spilled every year, working their way into the sea. These pollutants act as chemical sponges attracting man-made chemicals such as hydrocarbons and the pesticide DDT. They then enter the food chain. "What goes into the ocean goes into these animals and onto your dinner plate. It's that simple," said Dr Eriksen.

Some Sing

Our connectivity is changing the way we live in a funny way. An article I read today by an English professor pointing out the vulnerability of our generation because of our desire to BE EVERYWHERE NOW. In a given day we travel on the computer to dozens of places, and thus all these places now are a part of us in some way.

Logically the transformation of the world seems so far off, but if many of us in the free, technologically advanced world are living this life of perpetual motion, what kinds of effects does this have on the whole, through our consciousness and action?

I really wonder you know. We don't take the time to know the full things, we'd rather just get a taste...Dabble, master, move on. Where are our thoughts? Are we to be a generation of generalists? If I am constantly other places...text, blog, websites, IM, youtubes is it a conscious escape? a constant step forward? a constant step into the unknown? do i notice its effects? do i feel a change? do i feel good? am i truly happy?

Im just talking out my ass, but i thought it to be an interesting thought...should we try and live as far into the future as possible? or as the now seemingly classics said, be here now?

Time to devise better strategies to use and conserve scarce water – Ban Ki-moon

17 March 2008 – The international community needs to start conceiving strategies for using water more efficiently and sharing it more fairly, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says, warning that unless action is taken soon, the problems caused by water shortages around the world will only multiply.

In an opinion column published today in The Hindu of Chennai, India, ahead of celebrations on Saturday to mark World Water Day, Mr. Ban called for partnerships between governments, civil society groups, businesses and individuals to better use and conserve water.

“We are at the early stages of this awakening,” he wrote. “But there are some encouraging signs, especially in the private sector. Corporations have long been viewed as culprits. The smokestacks from power plants pollute our air; the effluents from industry spoil our rivers. But this is changing – more and more today, businesses are working to become part of the solution, rather than the problem.”

Mr. Ban cited the gathering earlier this month in New York of the UN Global Compact, the world’s largest voluntary corporate citizenship initiative, on the subject of water.

He stressed that it was important to move “beyond the mere use of water to stewardship,” given how scarce fresh water is becoming in so many regions of the world, both rich and poor.

“International Alert has identified 46 countries, home to 2.7 billion people, where climate change and water-related crises create a high risk of violent conflict. A further 56 countries, representing another 1.2 billion people, are at high risk of political instability. That’s more than half the world.”

The Secretary-General said population growth and climate change would only exacerbate the situation, observing that already one child dies every 20 seconds from a disease associated with a lack of clean water.

Helping people living “in the most abysmal standards of hygiene and sanitation” would not only reduce the death toll, Mr. Ban stated, but would also assist in protecting the environment, alleviating poverty and fostering economic development.

Were the dinosaurs done in by fungus?

More interestingly, Terence McKenna had a theory that the mushroom spore traveled inter-galactic to our planet. I assumed when I heard in my biology class that there are virtually no mushroom fossils on the planet dating pre-Tertiary period, that Tmk knew this. Apparently we didn't find this information out until 2004 at the earliest...
The end of the Cretaceous period-->Tertiary period is the marked by the end of Dinosaurs on this planet...also known as the k/t boundary (or mass extinction), it is thought to have been brought on by asteroid impacts. Evidence for asteroid impact: large amounts of Iridium on the planet, which wasn't there before, impact sites and shocked quartz
