Yes, I love Ballard's Crystal World, and so did Smithson. Yes, I think that is another of Bell's pseudonyms, and there is another--escaping me at the moment. I'll try to find EMPIRE'S HORIZON from DAW Books/ 1989, with the 'psychocosmogram,' as it sounds like it might not only bring in the crystal, but fit in with Smithson's use of Gestalt to propose an active reading "at the margins" of text. Though Smithson died in 1973, I might be able to trace a thematic line backwards from this text ( just part of the 'process' :)— August 4, 2009 11:29 a.m.

re: #37 "I guess we are all pimps in one way or another..." Mr Bauder, it is pretty difficult to imagine you with a cane and "pimp cup." re: #38 That sounds like improvement in communications, but it is still wise to bypass HR when looking for a job. re:39 The client is always right. re: #40 "So wha does the "S" stand for??? That's for me to know, and you to find out, SurfPup :)— August 3, 2009 3:12 p.m.

Btw, rickey, to return to the topic at hand, and respond to your post: It isn't likely that we are all going to suddenly realize the obvious, as you call it, about nature v. nurture. Much of what we've learned from biology, about our similarities with animals, has begun to intersect with what we learn in the social sciences, about how much of what we perceive to be 'nature' evolves into and merges with culture. In other words, much of what we label nature turns out to be cultural construct. As you say yourself, "People will believe what they choose to believe-what lines up with their world view."— August 3, 2009 2:06 a.m.

I don't care if you are impressed with me or not, Josh. You seem pretty perturbed about Beckett, about whom I made maybe two comments, and now you throw in the French, something you must have learned by reading my comments to someone else; not sure what your problem is with someone else knowing things. "Thinking cops just running around shooting and beating people up." That is your statement, not mine. Again, it's amazing how little you pick up from other people's arguments. I guess you just skim them.— August 3, 2009 1:54 a.m.

"Since these debates, rickey, always seem to delve into racial things with liberal people...I like to use examples that involve the same race." You're the only one bringing up race. rickey and I were talking about nature v. nurture, which happens to be a different subject, but one that yes, does allow you to bring up "Freakanomics," the only book you've read in maybe five years, for the 100th time. Aren't you supposed to limit how many times per month you respond to threads other than your own?— August 3, 2009 12:22 a.m.
