“The most effective way to close down the human mind and to manipulate its sense of self is to program into it some form of dogma. A dogma will always vehemently defend itself from other information and repel any alternative opinion which contradicts its narrow, solidified view. Dogmas become a person's sense of security and means of retaining power, and humanity tends to cling to both until its knuckles turn white. Dogmas take endless forms, and when you can persuade different people to hold opposing dogmas, the manipulation of conflict and control through "divide and rule" becomes easy.” PeopleWayMindHumansMeanPersonsDifferentSelfFormHumanityTurnsEasyWhiteViewsOpinionSecurityInformationConflictProgramEndlessAlternativesManipulationHuman MindDividesDogmaManipulateDifferent PeoplesOpposingSense Of SelfKnucklesRetaining Author:David Icke
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.” WorldMindMeanMadeReasonFormValuesMemoriesActingBrainPrinciplesFailingDiversityComputerProgramHistoricalDrivenScalesInternalsCategoriesCriteriaConstraintsAnalogies Author:Gerald Edelman
“It is a mistake to think that programmers wares are programs. Programmers have to produce trustworthy solutions and present it in the form of cogent arguments.

“The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly.

“When men and women fail to form stable marriages, the result is a vast expansion of government attempts to cope with the terrible social needs that result.

“The bench press per se is not a risky exercise. When done right, it can help improve upper body strength and size. It's only when form takes a back seat to numbers and when it's grossly overtrained that problems result. Injuries occur in the shoulders and elbows when the bench press is overtrained, poor technique is used, such as rebounding the bar off the chest and bridging, no other exercises for the upper body are included in the program, and there are no core exercises done for the upper back. Quite often, it's a combination all these factors.” DoneHelpingProblemBodyFormUsedPoorResultsNumbersExerciseProgramPressesSizeTechniqueCoreBarsShouldersFactorsCombinationSeatsInjuryChestsBad AssWorkoutBenchesElbowsMotivational WorkoutBody Strength Author:Bill Starr
