One Question for Jeffrey Veen
stating the obvious :: Just One Question for Jeffrey Veen :: Mar 24 2000 Apps like Firefly turned into match-making services. Since they couldn't provide the immediate gratification of providing the music, they took the only step they could: The system would introduce you to people with similar interests. Well, I guess that's cool. But how much time do any of us really need to spend in chat rooms with people just like ourselves?
Liternet
Hypertext Europe Poland
Mariusz Pisarski sends word of a watershed: Liternet, the first conference in Poland on the Internet, new media, blogs and hypertext was held in Cracow earlier this month. A book of the proceedings will be published in September.

The recent fire in Moscow's television tower has left Moscow without television for the past week -- perhaps the first time a major city has gone without TV entirely for such a long period since 1960. An interesting social experiment!

Propaganda
Mass media a propaganda Srodki propagandy
Naleza do nich stereotyp, mit, plotka i kamuflaz.
Naleza do nich stereotyp, mit, plotka i kamuflaz.
Zasady propagandy
Zasady te określają,
jak powinno przebiegać stosowanie środków propagandy. Jedne
z nich podkreślają rozumienie treści propagandowych, inne
zaś akcentują stronę perswazyjną tych treści.
- Zasada zrozumiałości, która zobowiązuje
do klarowności i prostoty języka. - Zasada stopniowania, dozowania, nazywana
"taktyką małych kroków" albo "metodą salami" - propaganda
jest wsączona w świadomość jednostki lub społeczeństwa.
- Zasada wiarygodności, zgodności treści
z wiedzą społeczeństwa. - Zasada wzbudzania emocji, nawiązywania
do tematów i faktów rozniecających w społeczeństwie odpowiednie
emocje. - Zasada powszechności działań.
- Zasada rzekomej oczywistości.
- Zasada niestawiania kropki nad "i".
- Zasada atrakcyjności.
- Zasada aktualności.
Techniki propagandy
- Technika powtarzania, aby treści przekonały
adresatów i zapadły głęboko w pamięć. - Technika przemilczania, eliminowanie
liczących się idei, zjawisk, faktów, wartości. - Technika selekcji, stronnicze eliminowanie
treści prowadzące do skompromitowania przeciwnika ideowego
lub politycznego. - Technika nadmiernego uogólniania, rozpowszechniania
mitów, np.: "Wszyscy Polacy są tacy", "powszechnie wiadomo".
- Technika autorytetu - ktoś wypowiada
się, nie mając kompetencji w tej dziedzinie, aby potwierdzić
treść propagandową. - Techniki manipulacji:
fragmentacja,
wybiórcze ukazywanie obrazu rzeczywistości, pomijanie pewnych
treści, a eksponowanie tych, na których zależy dysponentom
manipulacji - prowadzi to do dezorientacji społeczeństwa;
integracja,
zaskarbienie u adresata manipulacji względów to tzw. "wazeliniarz".
Są jeszcze znane w propagandzie manipulatorskiej takie techniki,
jak: natychmiastowości w informowaniu czy sugestii, oraz
technika manipulowania za pośrednictwem podświadomości.
Szczególną siłę oddziaływania w propagandzie wykazują systemy
manipulowania:
system
dezintegracji społeczeństwa,
system
kreowania wroga,
system
zatrucia informacyjnego,
system
S-M-S (sensacja, muzyka, seks).
Wraz z rozwojem mass mediów zwiększa się ilość i zakres
stosowanych w propagandzie mechanizmów, środków, technik
i systemów. Są one nieustannie doskonalone i tym bardziej
zagrażają wychowaniu.

środki manipulacji
informacyjny serwis szperacza = dobra [nowina.pl] Wyr�znia sie nastepujace grupy mechanizm�w manipulacji: srodki, techniki oraz systemy manipulacji.
Do podstawowych srodk�w manipulacji zaliczamy: stereotyp, mit, plotke, kamuflaz. Stereotyp jest skr�towym i uproszczonym obrazem rzeczywistosci, funkcjonujacym w swiadomosci spolecznej. Jest on nosnikiem kultury, buduje opinie i integruje spoleczenstwo. Jednoczesnie jednak stereotyp zaweza myslenie, prowadzi do uprzedzen i niecheci. Te negatywne cechy sprawiaja, ze stereotyp jest najbardziej funkcjonalnym elementem manipulowania w srodkach masowego przekazu.

the phenomenon of love
filozofia.pl
How would you explain in terms of philosophy of mind the phenomenon of love?
David Chalmers: I wish I had a good answer! I would say that the phenomena of love include both an experiential element and a functional/behavioral element. The second of these is a complex question that is probably best approached empirically, supported by careful philosophical analysis of just what the phenomena are.

pleasure and happiness
good & evil Criterion of Pleasure and Happiness:
The philosophers who consider pleasure and happiness to be the criterion of good are also far from the truth. The criterion of pleasure and happiness is baseless. No single measure can be laid down for pleasure and happiness. The measures and standards differ from man to man. For example, likes and dislikes of the rich and the poor widely differ.

Socrates
Not dancing, talking In each of the episodes, there are musings on how Socrates might help us to deal with unpopularity, how Epicurus thinks that consumerism cannot lead to happiness, how Seneca might help us face a broken heart, how Montaigne faced feelings of inadequacy, how a broken heart might be mended by thinking about Shopenhauer's views on romantic love, and how Nietzsche's philosophy can help us to cope with insurmountable hardship.
Schopenhauer
German Philosophy - Arthur Schopenhauer "There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life."
--Schopenhauer, Essays, Our Relation to Ourselves, sec. 24
"The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom."

Happiness
Shadows Of Illusion Happiness comes most to persons who seek her least, and think least about it. It is not an object to be sought; it is a state to be induced. It must follow and not lead. It must overtake you, and not you overtake it.
Happiness
Shadows Of Illusion "Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think."...Arthur Shopenhauer
Shopenhauer
It was Shopenhauer who helped make Buddhism something of a household word among the educated classes of the 1850s. Shopenhauer was particularly impressed by Buddhism�s denial of God. He believed that Eastern religion had shown great brilliance by moving both beyond the concept of God, and beyond the notion of earthly or heavenly happiness. Buddhists recognized the all important fact of human suffering and did not shrink from it. They also recognized that morality did not derive from godly commandments but from the capacity of individuals to identify with one another and that the highest morality was one where the barrier between self and others was totally annihilated. Another aspect of Buddhist genius was the notion that the �will� or �spiritual force� in the universe was totally unknowable. Because people thought that they knew God�s will, they were constantly striving to achieve unrealizable goals.
The payoff for Shopenhauer, and presumably for many Germans, was that this purposeless striving could be suspended by contemplation. For him, the contemplation was on art, music and other forms of culture than through meditation. But it allowed him to appreciate the moment without necessarily clinging to it. Other romantics also dipped into the Buddhist manner of relating to a transparent world. The artist Van Goth was impressed by the way that Buddhist artists could focus on something as simple a single blade of grass rather than having to elaborate a system.

Shopenhauer
The Retriever - Opinion As Arthur Shopenhauer stated, "With health, everything is a source of pleasure; without it, nothing else, whatever it may be, is enjoyable .... Health is by far the most important element to human happiness."
Shopenhauer
Another Philosopher named Shopenhauer wrote that, "the way to attain superiority in dealing with men is to let it be [clearly] seen that you are INDEPENDENT of them. And, [he added]..it is advisable to let every one of your acquaintances...feel now and then that you could very easily dispense with their company."
Shopenhauer
The Daily University Star ONLINE Opinions
The German philosopher Arthur Shopenhauer said, "Not only is optimism wrong, but it mocks all those who suffer."

McLuhan
McLuhan McLuhan was a master of aphorisms, and like Heidegger, he loved wordplay. The title of his best-selling book The Medium is the Massage is no exception. Maybe he was making a statement about the way that the media massage or pummel us, or perhaps he was making a pun on the new "mass-age." In any case the underlying notion is that the message is greatly impacted by the delivery system. Some would understand this position to be the ultimate in media determinism. If the content is obliterated by the channel, "what" we say is of little importance-only "how" we chose to deliver it. McLuhan's belief in technological determinism is obvious by his phrase, "we shape our tools and they in turn shape us" (quoted in Griffin, 1991, p. 294).
meme
Meme Central - Memes, Memetics, and Mind Virus Resource Welcome to Meme Central, the center of the world of memetics. Memes are contagious ideas, all competing for a share of our mind in a kind of Darwinian selection. As memes evolve, they become better and better at distracting and diverting us from whatever we'd really like to be doing with our lives. They are a kind of Drug of the Mind. Confused? Blame it on memes.
Dawkins
Wired 2.03: The Economy of Ideas
English biologist and philosopher Richard Dawkins proposed the idea of "memes," self-replicating patterns of information that propagate themselves across the ecologies of mind, a pattern of reproduction much like that of life forms.

letter
letter At the Saturday Cypherpunks physical meeting, Marianne Mueller (I think) was telling me about an experience where an old letter she'd written to someone showed up in an Alta Vista search. A personal letter, that is. How this happened was that the letter to her friend was buried several subdirectories deep in a directory he made accessible to the outside world. Presto, Alta Vista found it, indexed it, and made it keyword-searchable! (Humans are pretty bad at doing such meticulous file prep work, but all-seeing spiders are very good at seeing everything.)

lost 97 percent of our remaining languages
Cultura Germanica
Most of those 6,000 languages are actually moribund, now spoken only by older people and being learned by few, if any, children. Moribund languages are being eliminated not so much through murder of their speakers (as in the past) as by a more insidious process: the use of a few dominant national languages in governments, schools, businesses, movies, videos, and on the Internet. At this rate, by the end of this century we shall have lost 97 percent of our remaining languages, and barely 200 will survive. That would be a gigantic intellectual and cultural loss for all of us.

Obywatel polski niepotwierdzony
Wirtualna Polonia: "w Polsce nie ma precyzyjnej definicji ani pochodzenia polskiego, ani obywatelstwa, a od tego by należało zacząć wszelkie projekty ustaw o obywatelstwie. Stosowane "prawo krwi" jest anachroniczne i bardzo często konfliktowe. Obywatelstwo nie jest równoznaczne przecież z narodowością, co doskonale wiedzą twórcy ankiet statystycznych, które wypełniać będą ankieterzy w czasie nadchodzącego spisu narodowego. Skoro jestem przy nim to wyłania się kolejne pytanie: czy obywatele polscy zamieszkali poza granicami kraju muszą wypełniać ankiety? A jeżeli tak, czy mogą robić to po przez Internet? Ważne jest to pytanie, bo zgodnie z ustawą o spisie: "osobie uchylającej się od podania danych grozi kara do...". Wizytując kraj, z chwilą opuszczania go, nikt z nas nie chce spotkać się z chamskim służbistą na granicy, który zażąda wpłacenia kary za uchylanie się od "obowiązku spisowego"."

'glade' or 'clearing'
For the Children Poland�s name �Polska� is derived from the word �Polanie� or �plains people�
Correction: derived from 'glade' or 'clearing' in the woods to be precise. 'Plains' translated to Polish language will result in 'nizina' or 'nizinni' also maybe "rownina".

brulion
Situation 2 "Generation of BruLion'' -the young poets and writers who make their debuts in democratic Poland. They rebel against the official culture and have no respect for authorities, believing that everyone has to face his moral dilemmas. In searching for the meaning they take up any issue. Nothing is "tabu" or "sacred"; and scandal appears to be a natural outcome of the creative process.

Dość często odnoszę wrażenie, że Wiarus to Mirosław Krupiński. Guzik mnie to obchodzi i prawdopodobnie się mylę. Wkurza mnie jednak ten bałagan na stronie internetowej Krupińskiego, w którym strasznie ciężko się rozeznać.

Obedience
We didn�t need Milgram to tell us we have a tendency to obey orders. What we didn�t know before Milgram�s experiments is just how powerful this tendency is. And having been enlightened about our extreme readiness to obey authorities, we can try to take steps to guard ourselves against unwelcome or reprehensible commands.
In a second analysis, I compared the outcomes of obedience experiments conducted in the U.S. with those conducted in other countries. Remarkably, the average obedience rates were very similar: In the U.S. studies, some 61 percent of the subjects were fully obedient, while elsewhere the obedience rate was 66 percent.

1655
an uprising of Ukrainian Cossacks
The emergency began with an uprising of Ukrainian Cossacks that persisted in spite of Warsaw's efforts to subdue it by force. After the rebels won the intervention of Muscovy on their behalf, Tsar Aleksei conquered most of the eastern half of the country by 1655. Taking advantage of Poland's preoccupation, Charles X of Sweden rapidly overran much of the remaining territory of the commonwealth in 1655. Pushed to the brink of dissolution, Poland-Lithuania rallied to recover most of its losses to the Swedes.
