POPSProcess Theology, very difficult but worth trying
jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  7-21-2008    1
 I think process theology will in the future be accepted as a new paradigm. But it will take time for the new ideas to gain acceptance. Whitehead's position as a brilliant mathematician adds credence for me. Echoes of Leibniz

POPS20mph the default speed in towns?
jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  6-30-2008   
 This will come and the sooner the better. Norwich wanted to introduce a townwide limit of 20 and the engineers said it would cost £10M to install! This is a total nonsense. With 20 the default speed there would be need for the few 30mph signs only

jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  6-13-2008   
 Good news for the the city of dreaming spires but if it will cost £300,000 for Oxford how come it will cost Norwich ten million pounds to do the same thing?

by jimbo1000  6-12-2008   
 You will not find a more passionate speaker than George Galloway. I don't know the rights and wrongs of this debate but if the subject matter wasn't so serious this would be classed as top entertainment.

POPSNicaraguan priest becomes president of UN General Assembly
jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  6-12-2008   
 I remember the Pope wagging his finger at D'Escoto, a Catholic priest, when visiting Nicaragua in 1985 in admonition at his joining the Sandinista government. It shocked and saddened me at the time as D'Escoto was expecting a blessing.

jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  6-10-2008   
 Although I do not design web pages I find Jakob Nielson's Alertbox useful in an area that I am concerned with: getting information to a user quickly and clearly in road signs. The subjects overlap muchly.

POPSThoughtful guy tries to make quantum/theology connection
jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  6-3-2008    1
 If we are not to be determinists then there has to be a mechanism that allows the 'billiard ball' scenario to be over-ridden. Top-down causation might be that mechanism.

POPSSo we are not wholly controlled by our genes.
jimbo1000
by jimbo1000  5-8-2008   
 Many scientists consider top-down causation not to be real, they believe it is juat a complicated way of describing things that in the end confuses the real causal patterns. This paper attempts to combat that view. Go to the page and download the pdf file. It is exciting but very complicated
