POPSSearch for Criminally Insane killer Phillip Arnold Paul who Escaped During a Field Trip
Take a look at this liberal, bleeding heart agenda for recovery for a man who soaked an elderly woman’s body in gas and burned her in a flower garden to throw off dogs. BTW, that does not seem to be crazy, isn’t that a conscious thought to destroy evidence? Good grief, check out the mission statement and recovery principles. Why didn’t they just pay for his way on a Carnival cruise? Recovery Principles: Hope Self management and autonomy Dignity and self respect Tolerance and forgiveness Adaptability and capacity to change Personal responsibility and productivity Peer support and community life Acceptance and self awareness What the hell was a criminally insane killer taking a field trip to the County fair? What the hell were authorities at Eastern State Hospital where Phillip Arnold Paul was a patient thinking? Was to zoo closed? Could you not get tickets for the matinee movie? WTF!!! How on earth were these people putting the citizens and children at

POPSHypnotic Trances: science confirms benefits According to a new study of the neural mechanisms of hypnosis-induced paralysis, Braid's definition was remarkably accurate. The study, published in the journal Neuron, demonstrates that hypnosis does indeed lead to increased activity in areas of the brain involved in attention, as well as in other areas involved in mental imagery and self-awareness. Hypnosis can therefore exert control over bodily movements by enhancing mental representations of the self (or self-imagery) and focusing attention on them. Read on »

POPSJust Follow The Sound Of The Barking "Here's the question reductionists like Zorn don't answer: Why does canine affection have to be a trick or a con? After all, according to the very same logic, I love my wife and daughter because I have strong instinctive attachments for them grounded in my genes. But even if the genetic explanation is absolutely true, it doesn't change the fact that I love my family. Why should it be different with dogs? Do we really want to live in a society in which love is a genetically mandated confidence game? Where will that argument take us? Indeed, if embracing modernity means I have to accept such unlovely idiocy, count me out. I'll be elsewhere. If you need me, just follow the sound of the barking. "

POPSMy stroke of insight - An astonishing story. Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one. An astonishing story.

POPSAre you conscious? 17 Criteria for Consciousness "Conclusions Seth et al have provided an interesting set of criteria for evaluating consciousness - the implication is that later criteria build on the earlier ones. It has applications to even the most controversial cases (for example, Terri Schiavo) and could be useful as a benchmark in the evaluation of animal intelligence and animal consciousness. That said, there are lurking problems with this account. For one, there could be alternative forms of consciousness which satisfy the later criteria without satisfying the earlier ones - we just don't know. The entire approach reeks of human-centeredness, though of course that's a necessary evil: we don't really know that any other species is conscious (and furthermore, we're merely giving our fellow humans the benefit of the doubt)."

POPSThe God of Genesis "What I find disappointing about most religious beliefs is that they are a kind of statement of contempt for nature and reality. It's absurdly hubristic. It holds the myths of a few thousand years above nature's many billion-yeared journey. It says reality is inferior and less satisfying than the stories we make up."
