POPS Hammer Wants An Anvil
Fawning “Inconvenient Truth Teller” article inside paints him as a sort of goof savant … a bit like Chauncey Gardiner of “Being There,” he’s been in Washington DC his entire life, everyone likes him, and suddenly they think he’s a genius. The three-decade gaffe-and-reverse record requires some acrobatics, though. The Newsweek scribblers clearly like his go-lite, wack-a-mole strategy though they are big enough to admit at the end that people who actually know what they are talking about say it won’t work. It’s not exactly the Joe Biden embed that I wished out loud NYT’s Dexter Filkins would do as a counterbalance to his McChyrstal piece earlier this week,* but close. Some administration officials, led by Biden, appear to hope that American forces can rely more on counterterrorism operations"attacks by Predator drones and small elite units on terrorist hiding places"to hold Afghanistan together and defeat Al Qaeda. But critics call this “splitting the baby" and say . . .

POPSDoes the Human Brain Possess Potential “Super Powers”? I once taught (?) a foetal alcohol child who had spent his life as an outcast with his people - mainly because he was dangerous if upset. He wanted to paint and his Sch Asst and I set him up with about 10 square metres of paper and paints before he was happy. He drew/ painted to scale the area he would have seen when he flew to Uluru (Ayers Rock) once. Like a satellite pic.

POPSWays of Thought Recently I've been examining how I think of things. I've found that in usual day to day living I only superficially pay attention to conversations and news reports, concentrating on words as words only. When I apply myself I become much more visual in my thought processes. How important are images to thought? Do they help in remembering? How similar are people in the methods they use to make sense of the world?

POPSDoes the Human Mind Have Potential “Super Powers”? So, if all of us have latent super-abilities, is it possible to activate them permanently, or at least periodically, without compromising normal brain functioning? Probably, say the Australian scientists who used transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily switch off the frontal temporal lobe of volunteers. Afterwards the subjects showed an immediate improvement in calendar calculating, naming the day of the week of any recent history event, and in their artistic abilities. Of course these were just the abilities tested. Scientists do not know all of the latent abilities that humans may possess. It has been predicted that more advanced neurological studies may someday discover how to allow “Regular” people to tap into the incredible latent powers of their own mind, and thereby unleashing some of the “superhuman” potential in all of us.

POPS Obama’s Poems Show Real Talent .....example of the genre.” Of note, Politico observes that “the temperate legal language doesn't display the rhetorical heights that run through his memoir, published a few years later.” But then somehow, those few years later, this 33 year-old amateur with no paper trail beyond a hack legal note and a poem about fig-stomping apes produced what Time Magazine has called--with a straight face-- “the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.” The public is asked to believe that Obama did this on his own, almost as though he were some sort of literary idiot savant. I don’t buy this canard for a minute. To enhance the science of this literary investigation, I made some inquiries into the academy. . .he encouraged me instead “to do what you're already doing . . . good old-fashioned literary detective work.” Given that advice, I dug deeper into the memoir of the man who, I believe, tortured Dreams From My Father . . .

POPSThinking cap unlocks hidden genius Australian scientist Allan Snyder says that "switching off" parts of the brain can unlock the hidden genius in all of us. This is achieved by stimulating parts of the brain with tiny magnetic pulses, induced by a hairnet-like cap.

Mind expert Allan Snyder of the University of Sydney and director of Centre for the Mind, is certain that all people have these latent super abilities, but only some are able to express them through “malfunctions” of overriding brain functions.

POPSDo animals think like autistic savants ? I'm sure the animals were thinking like this a long time before people turned up. So far the theory doesn't seem like it will be easy to verify one way or another, but who knows ? We are always discovering things we never expected to know.
