Figures of Speech - data driven expositions to enhance human psychology

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

The Fallacy Facilitator

The train of thought is moving forward and the tapping you hear is your own doing. What makes our species unique are the narratives we create, for as the Ancient Greeks referred to humanity as the language animal. How we tell these stories matters.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

Failure Admits Defeat

Removing ethics from the equation, "best" refers to an ideal, Ionic in origin and steeped in the irony of a half-life beyond decay and everlasting through the transmission of information. Well that's the theory with Thales of Miletus as the father of this materialism.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

The Hierarchies of Awareness

Contemporary schema classify our phylogenetic success story (thus spoke us) as the dominating species of our Universe (for now), yet the upright man is all too often the uptight man and in need of detox from distractions.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

Beyond Good and Evil

Ah, the drip of chaos and the knowledge it contains. Predictability never looked so random that a pattern does emerge and thus consciousness evolves. Avoidance or pain over pleasure is part of the equation but not the whole story.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

Different Generation, Different Meaning

Acknowledging the mismatch between B.F. Skinner's "environment", and the Environmental ecosystem that sustains all living life on this planet is a shift in paradigms and paradises.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

Daily Determinism

Big Data Determinism makes this "more true" (o sepi to poli) than ever. The daily grind and disenchantment of the allusion myths require another narrative, no narrative at all or an honest attempt interpreting and reconciling the in-congruent truths. Logic doesn't lie.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

Brainwashing is an Axiomatic Exercise

Washing the brain is a daily function of sleep. Rinse, wash (REM Sleep) and repeat. The inevitability of sleep is necessary to survival. The idealized human forme has no need for sleep. This blatantly avoids the biology under the blasphemer defense.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

The Original Problem With Knowledge

Properly applied, knowledge defines our prosperity and resolves the unknown providing order to chaos and constructing the edifice of Logos beyond language and the biology that created her.

B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

Research Reincarnated

Albert Einstein identified "re"search as the defining activity for research itself. Discovering what is right in front of you isn't always obvious, a needle or a haystack. Cognitive calculations are coupled to technology and surpasses anything gathered, hunted or, mammalian.
