Apple patent reveals headset-style iPod shuffle
A recently revealed patent from Apple shows the company is looking at producing a wireless headset that offers standalone media playing abilities, rather than relying on a Bluetooth streaming connection to get music piped into the ear.
Apple's latest vision is for times when "the external device with which it is wirelessly coupled is not being used" as during such downtime the headset could be used to play music.
Alternatively, the patent suggests, "if the external device is a telephone, the availability of a recording function could make it possible for the user to record all or part of a conversation. Similarly, voicemail messages received on the user's telephone could be uploaded into the headset for later off-line playback".
On one hand the patent could be seen as a wearable, voice-controlled iPod shuffle with wireless capabilities, and on the other the next-gen of Apple's iPhone headset - more of an iPhone companion device - offering advanced media playing functionality.

Has anyone had trouble with the oxalates on plant based diets? I have had a long time issue with arthritis in my big toes and hypothroidism. Now I have read that too many oxalates in some people can cause this.
Haven't noticed any problems as far as arthritis (I don't have much, just a tinge in the knuckles at this point). As far as thyroid, I've been hypothyroid for years (diagnosed about 20 yrs ago but it's been longer than that for sure). I have seen things indicating that soy can interfere with meds for hypothyroid so I just avoid large chunks like tofu and soy milk (which I have found to be problematic for me. YMMV).
I have arthritis in both knees. No issues with oxalates, big issues with dairy.
What I am concerned about is that I have read that too many high oxalate foods, which is most of what I eat on this diet, can cause issues with osteoporosis, hypothyroid and arthritic flare ups. All of which I have.
then, for you, you might need to adjust how much of that you eat. Each person is going to have different needs - some folks on the kickstart are gluten intolerant, others have nut allergies, others have soy allergies, and so on. You need to do what works for your specific needs.

Five Questions with Greg Evans
Greg Evans, Ph.D., is a modern-day Paul Revere. In 2000, he created the Center for the Study of Bioterrorism (now the Institute for Biosecurity). He immediately went to work warning health care professionals around the country of the threat, and creating training materials to prepare health care workers to recognize and treat unusual disease outbreaks. But few listened until 9-11 and the subsequent anthrax letters scare. As the U.S. prepares to mark the 10 year anniversary of 9-11, Evans, who directs the Institute for Biosecurity, reflects on how these terrorist attacks changed our country and his program.
|Greg Evans, Ph.D.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of 9-11, how would you grade the country's response to terrorist threats and preparation for potential threats?
Right after the 9-11 terrorist attack, I think the country made a tremendous effort in enhancing its preparedness for a terrorist attack and other types of potential disasters, like infectious diseases. They worked closely providing money to state and local health departments, and funding research projects. But the further away we've gotten from 9-11, less and less emphasis has been placed on preparedness. My fear is that we've become very complacent about the next terrorist attack. And I definitely think we will have one, it's inevitable. We're going to be less prepared as the years move forward if the country continues to cut funding for these efforts.
What are some of the major changes you've seen since 9-11, both locally and nationally?
After the 9-11 attacks, we saw many positive changes. Money was provided to state and local health departments to hire individuals with expertise in bioterrorism. In almost every major health department, they set up a section to deal with bioterrorism threats. First responders also received funding for equipment and training to respond to terrorist attacks.
Over the years, though, the emphasis has shifted more to pandemic planning and many of the people who were hired to work on bioterrorism were moved over to the area of infectious diseases. There's less emphasis on bioterrorism. But terrorist organizations are still thinking very strongly about using biological agents. A recent New York Times article indicated that they are looking at the potential of using ricin in backpack bombs. Funding for first responders also is drying up.
You created the Center for the Study of Bioterrorism (now the Institute for Biosecurity) before 9-11. Did you envision the kind of response to your program that 9-11 would bring?
We started thinking about the Center in 1999 and it opened in 2000. Our focus was always on bioterroism, because we felt that this was one of the more likely weapons terrorist organizations would use. We created large numbers of fact sheets and other training materials related to bioterrorism.
What happened then was 9-11, and 9-11 was a more traditional attack in that they used planes basically as bombs to explode the World Trade Centers. But that was followed by the anthrax letters. We were getting thousands of requests to provide our factsheets and information because there was just nothing else out there; no one else was working in this area. More and more communities were becoming worried about another bioterrorism event and they wanted to be prepared for it.
Now what we're finding is that every year that goes by, there's less and less requests for those materials. We're becoming very complacent. It's understandable from a psychological standpoint. We don't want to think about these bad things and the further away we get from 9-11 and the anthrax letters, the less we're going to focus on them.
How has the Institute for Biosecurity changed in response to new and growing needs?
Shortly after 9-11, the Centers for Disease Control created centers for public health preparedness to provide training for public health professionals, which was very similar to the things we were doing. Around this time, I was talking to people around the country at conferences and what people were telling me is that what they really needed was an academic program and the ability to get an advanced degree and training in the area of bioterrorism and infectious disease disasters. So we started the master's program in biosecurity and we were pleasantly surprised by the large number of individuals who were interested in this program. We rapidly grew the program to over 90 students. We eventually added an MPH in biosecurity and disaster preparedness because some of our students needed more training in public health. And then we looked further down the line saw that there will be need for more people to be experts and teach in these areas, so we started the Ph.D. program. These programs have been very successful.
Because the program is offered online, we've had students come from all parts of the United States and outside the United States. We've had students who were currently serving in the military in Afghanistan and Iraq. We've had students complete the program while working with the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control. Our programs have been successful in providing that traditional training that is required for people who are going to specialize in biosecurity and preparedness.
Are there other programs like yours?
There is not another program like ours. Our program is the only program that combines public health preparedness with a strong emphasis on bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases. There are other programs that deal with laboratory investigation of biological agents and there are preparedness programs in schools of public health that have a lighter focus on biological preparedness, but they're more focused on disasters in general. We have a specialty in the areas of infectious disease disasters - both terrorist and naturally occurring.

Born Mary Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was the daughter of the revolutionary feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft (see portrait above), whose powerful treatise, Vindication of the Rights of Woman [pdf version], opened up new avenues of possibility for the education of women at the commencement of the 19th century. Her daughter was one such beneficiary of Wollstonecraft's desire to reform women's education, going on to publish the wildly popular novel Frankenstein at the young age of 20. A look at the planetary aspects of Mary Shelley's natal chart, using the perspective of archetypal astrology, can help illustrate how the archetypal energies correlated with the planets of our solar system were expressed in her personal life and in her writing, with a particular focus on her masterwork, Frankenstein. An analysis of the world transits, and the personal transits they form to Shelley's natal chart, at the time of the publication of Frankenstein provide further insight into Shelley's writing.
Since coming into the study of astrology, I have deeply pondered the mechanism behind its magical and profound workings. Any student of the subject has surely been amazed by its exactitude and precision in the timing of events, bodily illness, and passing moods that sweep through us in any given day. It is the unending and uncanny accuracy of astrology that keeps me motivated to continue my study. I also believe that astrology can be used to aid in healing. For instance, medical astrology can often be as accurate as a laboratory test, yet looking at the astrological chart is completely non-invasive.

The Planets and Their Positions in the Solar Return
What is the ascendant of the solar return?Where does its ruler lie in the solar return and in the natal?Is it on an angle?If so, then there is more action concerning the year and its activities.When you look at the solar return chart is it primarily angular, succedent, or cadent?What aspects are formed between the ruler of the solar return and the other planets?More challenging aspects, might suggest more challenge, and, actually more that gets done regarding that ruler.If they are supportive aspects, then things flow between the ruler of the solar return and the other planets.
The synodic return is a double outer planet transit measured by the time interval between the successive conjunctions of any two planets. If one outer planet moves to aspect a natal planet, angle or close network of planets, two at once marks a particularly important life period. Synodic returns look at the moving planets, not just their static position in the natal chart.
Now to look at contacts to the natal chart:

For the Empty Bowls Project at Long Trail, the public is invited to make and decorate bowls, free of charge, which will then be fired and sold with donated soup, bread and dessert at the Empty Bowl Dinner on April 6. All proceeds will go to local food charities.
During the event, skating is $1 for students and $3 for adults. Skate rentals are not included in this pricing.
Families are welcome to skate, make bowls or participate in both.

I don't really know much or anything of those games in the list, but doesn't mean they're not good by any means. Plus people have different tastes in games also.
I've bought 12 XBOX 360 games just this year and I'm sure I'll be buying at least a few more before this year is over.
I'd imagine there will be a ton of games I'll want and buy next year too, and I'm not even much of a gamer.

DIY project combining programming and construction
Kids - keep playing with your NXT and learning, learning, learning - the tools (okay, toys) you'll have access to when you get to college/university are going to be beyond anything I was ever allowed to experiment with - the video is funny, but the underlying truth here is that with enough skill and interest, you can make some pretty cool stuff.
More details here.
One More Thing: What would you pay for the chance to take a class called "How to Make (almost) Anything"?

Jim, you are right - but I'd add "time" and "perseverance" to it.

I'm pretty sure MIT made the mindstorms line as well as made the NXT. * sigh * I wish they had those classes for everyone in CA. Also I wish I had time to attend those classes! :D

I'd pay too much to go on that course!
Of course, I'd have to emigrate first.
Why does America have all the good things?
Perhaps they do courses like that in the UK. Definitely something to consider.
Pity it's only a one term (you Americans use semesters though) course i.e. 3 months.

Bringing Study Technology and Disaster Relief Across India
|Providing high-quality education to the nation of India is urgent. A third of the 1.2 billion population lives below the poverty line and 25% cannot read. Only 15% of Indian students reach high school and just 7% graduate. Add to this the several thousand ethnic groups, castes and tribes, 211 distinct languages and more than 1,600 dialects, and the educational challenge is daunting.

An atheist is still in a theist paradigm.
In describing yourself, when you use broad categorizations, such as I'm black or I'm white, or I'm a chemist or a I'm a physicist or I'm an electrician, or I'm an atheist or I'm agnostic or I'm religious or I'm Jewish, you are saying that the questions that these are answers to are important to you. They have meaning and value, and are worthwhile ways of categorizing yourself.
My idea is that we should be careful of the categorizations we have for ourselves. I, personally, am religious, so I give that question a lot of weight, but for someone who is atheist, or someone who doesn't tend to consider religious questions and such, it seems as though the question has little bearing, though there may be exceptions. It is not applicable in one's self concept. If you characterize yourself as an atheist, you are still in a theistic paradigm. So, my idea is to stop thinking of yourself as such.
While I am thinking particularly of this instance of religion, the idea has wider applications too. For example, in talking of one's skin colour. It is at times useful in helping to identify someone, but otherwise the distinction made between people with different skin tones is usually not an actually relevant question, not to say that heritage and ethnicity (important in the cultural differences and the genetic differences that are consistent across a particular group) aren't applicable.
My idea is mostly related to self concept though. To other who give value to those questions, it is entirely valid to answer them. Religion may not be important to you, but to your associates for which it is, you can still tell them that you are atheist, though if that was the case for me I'd say 'I do not adhere to any religion or believe in God', so as to still come from somewhat outside of that way of thinking.
Individuals of the TED community, what thinkest thou?
Oct 22 2011: This opens a really interesting debate for me. Are we talking about the meaning of the word Atheist from the original Greek or as it stands in popular usage today?
I can understand your dilemma as I have a similar one, only in the opposite vein. I most definitely believe in God, have a personal relationship with Him in fact, but I am against religion. I have the same problem when talking to people, I don't want to use the word religious or religion to describe myself or my relationship with God, but at the same time, it's hard to converse with people without first having to spend time explaining my terminology.
The word Atheist has a similar problem with its connotation and the fact that it starts its life from a word that supposes God and then adds a negative. I'd say the easiest way to term an Atheist that has a less negative connotation is to just use Humanist instead. I find it most aptly describes most Atheists I know, and among libertarians, there are many.
I'd like to address another issue I have with the word Atheist. It tends to come most loudly from those who then summarily dismiss the cognitive powers of anyone who would dare embrace any idea of a God of any kind. Oddly, people who use the term Humanist rarely have this problem and I don't know why that is. It is rather tiresome to be told, and it happens a lot on TED sadly, that having any belief in God whatsoever automatically makes you unable to think. As if Atheists have the corner on critical thinking and there are no other valid opinions. Just a thought.
Oct 23 2011: I quite like your thought, and feel, generally, very similarly.
I don't know the meaning from the original Greek, so I can only assume that my conception of it corresponds to the present popular usage.
I actually do believe in God, though I am for religion (though there can be, clearly, some notably bad effects), so I would use religious, though I can definitely understand the trouble trying to work around lacking words to use for non-religious and believing in God. I find it, too, quite annoying when people treat those who believe in God as stupid. Luckily it doesn't normally come up with me, because most people who know me know I am quite capable of thinking, but they think it of others, and attribute it to others. If those people are dumb it is for some underlying reason, not religion.
I think I need to understand what Humanist means better, but I would be interested in using that word instead! Thank you for sharing.Oct 19 2011: I think I'm hearing you say why does someone who does not have a religious conviction or belief, thereby, not invested in theism of any kind, use a label identifying within the context of belief? Is that right? In other words, it's a contradiction of sorts, and irrelevant without belief. A label is an identity, and identity usually indicates or reflects value. Am I getting your meaning? If not, tell me more.
This leads me to think those who refer to themselves as atheists feel the identity is of value. The question, for me, then becomes - what is the value of being defined as someone without faith or belief? What is the payoff, so to speak? Why would it matter? Interesting thought, Isaac. Different, but interesting.
My guess is the decision to identify as an atheist was a deeply personal process, which required soul searching and thought. As a result, particularly if one was raised in a religious environment, it may be of value to define themselves within a cultural and sociological context. That said, interesting food for thought.
Letitia Falk
Oct 20 2011: Good explanation Linda. I am an athiest coming from a christian background so I feel that my beliefs as an athiest are in opposition to my previously christian beliefs. (Not that I am in opposition to Religion itself mind you). In my case I would say that Isaac is right. My lack of religion is not something I grew up with but something I struggelled with and which represents a major turning point in my life: therefore my identity as an athiest has value to me.
- +3
Oct 20 2011: What you say makes sense but it also gives the false impression that their is a philosophical basis to atheism. Like you I grew up in a christian household and I did struggle a bit when I was younger and yes, being an atheist because of this experience does have a value to.
the reason why I brought up your response is giving a philosophical basis to atheism is because it is believed that something that is of value has to serve some sort of suitable purpose in the way one precieves life. I've went over this over and over and over questioning myself if my atheist views does play a role in how I see the world and operate within it. Every perespeictive I looked at it I came to the conclusion that a disbelief in god does not play a role in the way that I operate within the world because a disbelif in god really has nothing to do with human affairs and my everyday expereinces.
there is a difference between a disbelif in god and embrcing a religion. Religion is something that one is bound to or to bind back to. It is a way of life, it has certain customs, norms, injunctions, traditions, history, etc. One can follow or not follow these customs (I had a professor that was Jewish but did not believe in a higher power but did follow the customs and traditions of Judaism). Of course there is some overlap between the two.
My apologies if it looked like I was coming off agressive but as brilliant as your statement was, it could be easily construed to believe that their is s philosopical basis for atheism, thus making it a worldview and lifestyle, which it really is not.Oct 20 2011: That is more or less what I mean. It is...hard to articulate well.
When it is a personal soul searching type process, it seems meaningful. But I know a lot of people that seem not to have even considered it, or done said soul searching, and then the label seems to only come because the society around them treats it as important or useful, in which case...it seems as though it is silly let your society determine for you what is relevant in finding your identity. They should and will have an influence, but if a question isn't important to you, why should you be bound by it?
Oct 20 2011: That I can agree with. In Buddhism there is a term called Bare Attention. It is pretty much telling one that labels are just influences from ones society and culture. When using bare attention while meditating one does not see a backpack as a backpack. One does not associate the sound of a bell with school. One does not see a mountain as a mountain. In Bare attention things simply "are" or "is". In other words "its is what it is".
In regards to personal soul searching, one should not worry about what society says. Our experiences are our experiences and at times language does not explain these experiences. Some experiences are indeed ineffable.
But at the same time and to be fair, we are bounded by language and sometimes the best way to describe something is by the norms society provides for us. Despite this, this does or shall I say should not take away from these profound experiences that we have.
As long as we are not bound to societal norms I think one should be fine. But I really think you should look into bare attention
Oct 23 2011: Thank you Orlando! I think I will look into it.Oct 21 2011: Yes, I can see this as being somewhat true. Some people who have never grown up with religion seem to place less of a focus on atheism. So the branding of oneself as an atheist can be a strong dissociation with ones religious (Christian in my case, big surprise...) past. Don't know how far we can generalise this though. It'd be interesting to see the degree of self-identification with atheism in people with religious backgrounds and without. On the face of it, it's a useful concept. The overbearing omnipresence of religion does legitimise it in a way though. You won't hear special terms for not believing in all sorts of other things like UFOs and paranormal phenomenon. (Actually, come to think of it, a lot of people identify themselves as skeptics these days, maybe this is a similar reaction to all kinds of pseudo-science as atheism is to religion?)
Comment deleted
Oct 20 2011: I must say it since I like Nietzsche in his milder moods, that he did not advocate nihilism but warned against it.
Oct 20 2011: I'm glad that you pointed that out because many people really think that since Nietzsche proclaimed the death of god that one should embrace Nihilism and this is totally false.
just some food for thought: someone told me that the death of god is what gave rise to capitalism as we know it because there had to be an ideology that was just as powerful but can be experienced by the everyday individual. Not sure if this is true or not but I found it to be interesting.
Oct 20 2011: It is interesting. Thanks for sharing that.Oct 21 2011: Some people believe Nietzsche was saying that Christianity was losing its influence over people to do "good". He thought that when someone became less orthodox then religion lost its moral sense and its ability to steer people to a better life.

Oct 23 2011: I think your ideas are great, but would like to offer another, related to the statement that questions of religion "have little bearing" and "are not applicable to one's self concept":
- +1
Atheism as a 'religion' itself. It seems to me that agnosticism (although I am not agnostic) is the only viewpoint that can be considered "factually correct" and devoid of any "belief," because while we are alive we cannot possibly know for sure whether or not God exists. So, in the same way that religions take leaps of faith into the unknown to assert that God exists, atheists also take "leaps of faith" in order to say that God affirmatively does not. I think that atheists and the religious both rely upon faith, to opposite extremes. Because of this, I don't think I agree with your statement that atheists should remove themselves from a theistic paradigm.
Oct 23 2011: That is a good point, though I think the amount of...importance the belief has in your life, and the level of conviction are perhaps important to consider. Because if you simply don't think there is a God, it seems not important to be in that paradigm, though the same goes for those that think there is a God, and then it has little effect on there life. For committed atheists, it does make sense to think of themselves as atheists. It seems just a matter of importance to you,
Thank you for your contributions! They are helpful in developing my thoughts!
Oct 23 2011: It it not important for an atheist to identify his or her self as an athiest. In my own case, I care nothing for the paradigm that you are describing and I only describe myself as a atheist when asked by a theist. Being a theist, I consider your scope of understanding to be smaller than normal and therefore I must enter your linquistic sphere to communicate. Normally, I don't use the word or ever think the thought.
On a similar vein, I describe myself as an a-astrologists when talking to astrologists and an a-flatearther when talking to the flat earthers.Oct 20 2011: Religion prevents knowledge from growing. It destroys creativity.
Atheism is a reaction to this.
Oct 23 2011: I can't agree...again. I think that there is something else that does do this, and that would be a refusal to ask questions, an opposition to change, a fear of allowing other ideas to be thought and considered, to see if they are good or not. These come up often times in religious settings, but they are not a product of the religion, simply of people. I think it is associated with religion only because religious people have often been in power, and had those tendencies.
Oct 27 2011: I absolutely agree with you.
The only problems with religion come from the religious.
It's not the holy scriptures themselves, which are often decent fiction and poetry, it's the people who go around pretending it holds the truth.Of course!
Scientific and philosophical creativity is not discouraged by Christianity. It is discouraged by Christians.
Glad we agree.
John Locke
Oct 19 2011: AETHISM:
- +1
1.the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2.disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.
Aethism is the non belief of god. Nothing else. It is not a philosophy, it is not a religion, it is not a group or society.Also, our brain is forced to categorize people into groups whether we try to or not. Girl-Boy. Black-White-Latin.Our brain has to catergorize people in order to remember and organize them into its complex memory.
So, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "My idea is that we should be careful of the categorizations we have for ourselves."
Oct 19 2011: Atheism is a worldview.
Oct 19 2011: that is utterly wrong. I would love to hear your vindication for such a claim.
Oct 20 2011: I would first like to hear why it is wrong. How are we expected to debate a claim with a statement like "that is utterly wrong".
Prehaps you could say why you believe that the point is wrong so that we might better understand your point of view?Oct 20 2011: The reason why it is incorrect to state that atheism is a worldview or philosophy is because a disbelief in a higher deity is just that. Nothing more nothing less. One not believing in god is not going to have devastating effects on the world. One misconception about atheist is that they are morally bankrupt. This is false claim being that western religions in particular do not have what we would deem to be good moral precepts. Atheist are just like your everyday human being. We work, we go to school, we get married, we have families. The only difference between an atheist and a theist is this belief in God. we do not believe that there is a God watching us, giving us salvation and life. Atheist can indeed be spiritual (in the context of having transformative experiences, meditating, contemplating, etc)
Secondly there is not philosophical basis for atheism. It does not have certain values, beliefs, standards, etc that can be followed. There is no book giving guidelines on how to be an atheist. Atheist simply believe that there is not enough evidence for a higher deity and that god does not have anything to do with human affairs. Plus having a disbelief in god does not get me through the day, there are other motivating factors. All because I do not believe in god does not mean that I do not value life.
to sum things up, weather or not God exist, life goes on. We should enjoy it the best way we can.
John Locke
Oct 21 2011: If anything, knowing that we will die and that there may not be anything after we die is a great motivator to spend what little time we have on this world to be a good human being.Oct 19 2011: I will admit, this is a very interesting post and you do bring up great points.

But you should keep in mind that atheism is not a philosophy or worldview or way of life. Atheist do not adhere to any single set of ideologies, norms or behaviors.
I like Sam Harris description of atheism. He states that atheism is just the "destruction of bad ideas and dogma" and this applies to just about everything and not just religion.
Oct 23 2011: I don't mean to say that someone who doesn't believe in God has a particular, given worldview, philosophy, way of life, ideologies, norms or behaviour. If anything, to me, that makes my idea make more sense. If you are religious, I imagine that would be something you find significant about yourself, an important part of your view of the world. If you aren't religious, and your lack of religiousness is not something you find significant about yourself, then why treat it as significant. Of course, if your lack of religiousness is something you do find significant, than by all means, treat it like it is. Hopefully that is clear?
I love a lot of Sam Harris's ideas, such as the idea of a science of morality, but I kind of dislike his views on religion. He wants to abolish it, as far as I can tell, but we really can't say whether or not any of them are true. What if they are? The questions, at least at present, fall outside of the realm that science can answer, as to the truthfullness of religion. Not to say that the things he opposes in religion (or different cultures for that matter) should not be opposed, such killing people, or oppression of women.
I am good with the destruction of bad ideas and dogma, but the source of those are not religion. Sometimes they arise out of religion, but people with bad ideas, and who promote dogma, and whatever makes the people as such, is what is at fault. They can be like that regardless of religion. So I kind of don't like his views of atheism.
Oct 24 2011: I really do not think that many non-religious people treat irreligious views as something of significance. I mean I could be wrong, I just never personally met someone who does. I did mention that it does have some value to me but not to the point to where I'll champion this belief. There are many other things for me to worry about (family, friends, work, education, etc). secondly many people who are not religious actually value things such as reason, evidence, secularism, etc more so than their own irreligious beliefs, which goes back to what I mentioned about atheism not having a philosophical basis.
I am a huge Sam Harris fan. Outside of Nietzsche and Chomsky, he is my favorite intellectual and I think his science of morality is something to be valued (although I will say that what he is talking about is not new. Chomsky in his book called "Understanding Power" essentially talks about the same thing. I do not think he wants to abolish religion entirely being that this would include the eastern religions that he values so much. What he wants to get rid of the acceptance of bad ideas because he realizes the correlation between ideas, language, belief and how they influence human behavior. Secondly, Sam Harris never stated that none of them aren't true. He once said in a debate against Chris Hedges " they can't all be true". What he says is the reasons given to them and the evidence provided for them are not good ones at all and at many time are non-sequitors (I spelled it wrong). Also things that would be otherwise absurd, such as if I told you that I prayed to Santa clause yesterday, gets sheltered once religious and social language is applied. Switch Santa to god and all bets are off. Science can't answer everything and Science will not figure everything out but that does not decrease its credibility.
I agree with you about bad ideas and your somewhat right. The things bout religion is that the bad ideas are justified and this is a problem.Oct 19 2011: I'd ask why you used the word paradigm? In what context do you believe atheism to be a pattern of theism?
I also find, I do not know if you meant it this way, but one particular phrase very offensive.
"If you characterize yourself as an atheist, you are still in a theistic paradigm. So, my idea is to stop thinking of yourself as such. " - Now are you saying that you'll stop categorizing yourself as religious if I were to agree to categorise myself as none religious? Furthermore, why do we need to move away from categorisations? Should we not be individually proud of our of categeories? Proud of the differences in this fabric of life?
Oct 20 2011: This is in response to the response you gave me.
To answer your question, the reason why I did not give an explanation to Andrew is because the burden is not on me to have to explain. There were many people that gave good reasons as to why atheism is not a worldview (myself included). Also he made a statement about atheism being a worldview and gave no explanation which is why I mentioned that I would love to see his justification for his claim so once again, the burden is not on me to have to explain my position until I hear a response from him. But for the sake of not taking this any further I'll explain why he is incorrect, otherwise we'll spend out time trying to debate who has the burden of proof to bare as opposed to having an enlightened conversation.Oct 23 2011: I apologize Nicholas, for any offense I caused. I don't mean to be offensive.
I use paradigm to mean a way of viewing things. or the world. This may not be...strictly what the word means, though the meaning i've gathered seems to be that. Do correct me if I'm not quite right.
Given that conception of paradigm, a paradigm is either an underlying assumption, or a question. And so both atheism and theism arise from the question 'Is there a God?', or potentially a different but similar question. And so, if that question is important to you, then think of yourself in terms of your answer. If not, then don't. I simply would guess that most or all that fall on the theist side would find it important, and that only some of those on the atheist side would (though that is a sort of simplistic view, that you are either one or the other, or I suppose agnostic, when it is probably more of a spectrum type thing). So no, I would not stop categorizing myself as religious, because that is important to me. And if you are non religious, and find that important about you, than categorize away! But if you aren't and it isn't, then...well, why? You can still, but why give something that isn't important that much emphasis in your head?
I'm not for moving away from categories, though I do think we should be more...aware that to be accurate they probably need to be rather nuanced, and if they aren't then you'll be limited or restricted by them. It is good to be proud of who you are and how you are different. But it sounds silly to be proud of something that you don't care about.
Did I manage to explain that clearly? The idea is applicable elsewhere, though it is hard to think of examples, just atheism is where I started thinking of it. One example could be that I'm part Czech. Until recently, that didn't matter to me, so I didn't think of myself as Czech. Now it has become important, so I do.
Oct 24 2011: Isaac, I think that a Friday afternoon may have prompted less understanding on my part. So I apologise for that. Yes it seems a lot clearer in the way you've laid it out here. So i thank you for your time in laying out an ugly bag of snakes for a simple man such as myself.
Surely the point of categorisation isn't to restrict in itself. However has taken on negative connotations for the way they have been used? In that case is it not those applying the categorisations rather than the category's themselves?
I agree that it is silly to be proud of that which you don't care about. But in my own group of friends I can't say I know any that would accept themslves as part of a category unless they wanted to. It may be differeing cultures here?
I understand your point that we should be careful about continuing to classify without grounds. (If it can be said that way). However, picking up on your last point here, shouldn't categories allow us as a species something to be proud of? For example, your religious leanings or country of origin? Prehaps the world could become a little happier if humans had more to be proud of. Taking negative connotations of categories and turning them on their head? For example, there are many negative stereotypes concerning Jewish people. Some right-wing/anti-semetic people (Another category for you!?) would say they were money grabbing. I would say they are fastidious?
@Orlando - I guessed it was a response, as you replied to the stub. Was it not rude of you to point this out in such a condescending way?
I would also ask how you cannot have enlightened debate without proof? And before you respond with what I know will be "But he should provide proof first" I would ask that if you were to ask for proof, at least do so in a way that would not get another person's back up?
If I have misread anything, please enlighten me, Orlando.
Oct 24 2011: I think I'd agree with what you've said Nicholas. Among the people that I am friends with, few would consciously accept themselves as part of a group. It seems that...a lot of people don't really think about these things though, so they unconsciously do so. Self-awareness would more or less get rid of all of that though.
It is good for us to be proud of things, and more of it could be quite beneficial, so long as it doesn't make us look down on others who are different. So long as shared humanity always comes first, and a respect for the shared humanity. Some respect for yourself and your origins goes a long way towards improving your life, and sharing that with others definitely improves their lives as well.
Thank you for your response Nicholas!Nov 8 2011: Atheism is a worldview relating to matters of theology, with its own set of inherited dogmas and a large following of people that pretty much all believe the same thing. It has some notoriously self righteous front runners and altogether fails to be supported by any sort of scientific fact. Sounds like a religion to me.
(let the flogging begin)Oct 27 2011: You should have put this in the debate section. In no time this thread will be 50 miles long. lol I'd like to ponder this before I answer it, but I thank you for posing this question.Oct 27 2011: I'm going to take this the other way. I feel that categorizing yourself according to certain understood characteristics is a rationally driven way of thinking that fits in with a scientific, modern paradigm. In your way of viewing things, Isaac, you say that people identify themselves by their connections to other, well understood concepts and ideas such as religion. This is much the same as elements are recognized by consistent properties and characteristics. I think the way you, and most people besides you, view yourself through a very non-religious lenses that is logical and very human in nature. You just identify yourself using religion as a characteristic that others can understand and grasp. In other words, your "theist paradigm" for people is just rational thought for classifying others that starts at a logical endpoint, your self identification, rather than a starting point, characteristics that describe you.Oct 19 2011: Who said Atheist don't consider or think about religious concepts? Just because someone doesn't believe something doesn't mean they haven't thought about it.
I do not believe aethist are part of a religion, group, etc. They are people, like everyone else, who choose to have different religious beliefs and we should respect them no matter our own beliefs. But, I really do not understand your question, are you trying to say that we shouldn't categorize ourselves into groups?
Oct 20 2011: I am sorry that my idea/question wasn't very clear. It is something I've had trouble expressing, though I'm trying.
I am not saying we shouldn't categorize ourselves into groups, but rather that the groups we categorize ourselves in should be based on questions relevant to ourselves. It seems that often times, if you don't have religious beliefs, that the question presupposing the groups of atheist or not atheist is not relevant to you, though there are also certainly times when it is. And so it seems that people categorize themselves by it because other people group them like that, not because they would do so on their own. And so then it is...giving a false importance in your self concept to that.
Is that clearer?
Thank you for posting, it has helped me to try and think of better means to...express my idea.
Oct 21 2011: Well, from my experience Aethism is a 'negative' word. So, in that sense I do believe that people should stop being judgmental and stop grouping Aethist. We are each unique and different and the fact that people share religious beliefs does not change that.
Many people think that without a relgion to guide Aethist they disregard morals, rules, etc. This is obviously not true and in fact this may have the opposite effect. Knowing that we will die and there might not be anything after death is a great motivator to do all we can while we are living our short lives to be great humans, parents/brothers/sisters, and to contribute to the world.
Oct 23 2011: I would agree that atheism doesn't really correspond to level of morality. Morality can arise from religion, but it arises from other places as well.
I don't personally have a negative connotation of the word atheist. At my school, a lot of people, if they have any thoughts like this, think poorly of religious people because they view it as silly nonsense.Oct 19 2011: Calling oneself an atheist is claiming no to believe in the supernatural. Instead, one claims to believe that every problem has a solution and that everything about reality can be explained in reality through "creativity and criticism" (D Deutsch).
A non-atheist is someone who doesn't believe in exponencial growth of knowledge.
So being an atheist is just more than refusing to believe in God.
Oct 19 2011: Your classification of a non-atheist is not accurate I'm afraid. Take for example, I am a Christian. I do believe in a sovereign God and the Gospel. However, I also believe that we as humans can grow in knowledge in wisdom exponentially, to a certain degree. Because we can all agree that no human or the human race will ever be perfect or omniscient.
Oct 19 2011: But there is a difference, see. You've added "to a certain degree". And I don't believe that you think every problem has a solution.
As you've said, we're not omniscient.
Sure, we're not. But we will find solutions to problems. And there is an infinity of problems. This is where we differ, my friend. You don't see an infinity of problem and an infinity of solutions like I do.
At one point, at the begining really, you admit that some problems have no solution don't you? Why is there a God instead of nothing?
Another difference : an atheist is a person who has decided to make his own mind about the world. There are no specialist to learn from, no authority to reffer to, no holy book holding some sort of truth. You need to criticize in order to sort out good and bad explanations. So yeah, criticism is another difference.
Religious people can't criticize their deities. By definition, they are not subject to critcism.
So there you are.
Oct 20 2011: But some things are random and to presuppose that every problem has a solution presupposes a kind of purpposefulness that cannot be quantified or measured. I don't follow the idea that the universe is necessairly purposeful although that is a comforting thought - one akin to the Theism of Buddhism which is relgion and not A=theism.
J Hat
Nov 7 2011: "But we will find solutions to problems." In the view of an atheist, is there a solution for how the world was even created?Oct 20 2011: Ashley. It presupposes no purpposefulness.
- 0
It's just how knowledge works. We're a knowledge creating species, and we create it exponencially. Surely there is somewhere in the universe other species creating explanations, and why not A. I. ?
I don't believe there is any purpose for this. For that reason, for instance, I believe we'll never be out of problems to solve. They'll keep popping up ad infinitum.
It seems comforting an idea that knowledge has a special place in the universe. But it's a fact. Knowledge changes the world. Look at our planet. Astronomy needs to take into account knowledge creators in making any sort of prediction. It'll be even more obvious as we conquer space.Oct 20 2011: Gerald...I can't agree with you here. The differences between those with a belief in God and those without are not what you say...
I am religious. I believe that there is nothing supernatural. I don't believe that spiritual or physical things are different. I believe that what we call spiritual works though physical means.
I also make up my own mind. Everyone makes up their own mind, even if it is to accept what someone else thinks or says. I personally came to religious belief through critical thinking, and through what more or less amounts to the scientific method on a personal level, not by accepting what people told me. I did a lot of things in opposition to what religious people said I should do, and found generally that, at least in the religion that I adhere to, that they were right when they predicted what would happen given a particular action. And is not that what marks a good theory, explanatory and predictive power? There are few things that I accept right off. I analyze to see whether or not it makes sense or not, and whether I agree, and if it seems good, I test it.
Yes, there are authorities I refer to. That is the case with everyone, including, I think, you. I don't personally understand how the world around us arises from particle physics, though I hope to someday, so I trust that until I do, those authorities are right. That is the point of a specialist. One person can't know everything, so they need to specialize, and to a certain extent trust specialists in other areas.
I also believe in infinite progress, though I don't know that I'd say exponential (a large part of our present exponential knowledge gain is exponential population growth, which may end).
I would also agree, that there are solutions, often multiple ones, to all problems, though I'd be careful in my use of the term problems. Many problems are resolved if you look at them differently.
Atheist vs. nonatheist doesn't correspond to different ways of thinking.
Oct 20 2011: Well, Isaac, it looks like we can have an interesting debate here.
Let me quote some of your writings and discuss them.
"I am religious. I believe that there is nothing supernatural"
I don't understand how this is possilble. If you don't believe in the supernatural, how can you call yourself a religious person? Please develop about this point.
"And is not that what marks a good theory, explanatory and predictive power?"
But you only mention their success in prediction, not in giving good explanations. I would otherwise agree. But predictive success means nothing without a propper explanation. I'm sure you agree with this without asking for examples of accurate predictions but bad explanations. So please, tell me more about this point too.
"until I do, those authorities are right"
How about saying that they're most likely to be wrong, but we lack better explanations. I don't refer to authority. Sure, some scientists have a reputation of being serious in their research and meticulous in their experiments, but they still don't earn the title of authority on any subject. Only their ideas should be juged. And this is how I work. That beloved professor X "said so" means nothing to me untill I've considered the content of his ideas. It happens often that I'm disapointed in scientist that I admired for one of their theories. Is this possible with religion? Can you say that 80% of the Bible is plain wrong, but the rest seems correct? This is what I mean by authority, the fact that you can't pick out the ideas you like, you have to accept the whole of it. Right? Or do you to say that grasshoppers in space and massive resurection are just a metaphor?
"That is the point of a specialist"
Not to hold the truth. A specialist knows more than anyone about what he doesn't know about a topic, that's all. He's a specialist at asking good questions.
Thank you for debating these issues with me.
Oct 23 2011: Limited characters is part of why I wasn't more detailed, and it might mean I need to do several posts.
For clarity, numbers.
1. (supernatural) My impression of the word supernatural is that, first, it assumes there are laws governing how the universe works (natural) and that there are things that go outside of those laws (supernatural). The thing is, the rules of the universe (or rules, patterns, other words might be...more appropriate) describe how everything works. So if something is outside of those, it doesn't have that consistency, or else it would be a part of that. So I'm left with God, who I believe is consistent, and how He works and functions, or the rules or patterns of His behaviour, being part of those laws. And to think otherwise would give any religion no basis in an independent, true reality, which then gets kind of fallacious, trying to say that it is reality, but saying that you can't understand it because it is outside of reality. That wasn't the clearest explanation, but I hope it was understandable. That is about how my thoughts go on that.
2. (theory) I did not give an example of explanatory power, you are correct. That is something that, now that I consider it, is harder to...give. Basically, the explanation given is how we came about, and why we are here. Those explanations in and of themselves, do not sound better than at least some others. But from them we get how we should act, and why. And consequences of particular actions. And it explains why those consequences happen, if they actually happen. I think that I need to think more on this though, for a generalized explanation. On a more personal level, there are a lot of things that have happened in my past, and I suppose also in the present now, that have shaped who I am. And I can see how without them, I'd be worse than I am now (though by what evaluation I can't say), if I was even alive still. Those could be coincidence, but I find little...convincing power in thatOct 23 2011: 3. (authority) I identify strongly with what you are saying. I tend to operate in the same way, taking people's ideas, though depending on who they are and my connection to them, I'd be inclined to sometimes consider things I would otherwise find...unlikely. I dislike package deals, which is why I hate politics, and the idea of a party system. What I mean by authority is...at some point, you have to trust someone else. We are all interconnected, and cannot do everything on our own. We let others grow our food, ship it, keep it safe till we consume it. We let others build our cars. We go to doctors. We have to rely and trust others to function. When it comes to religion, I trust some individuals to know more than me, and they make sense to me when they talk. The times when they don't...I do have trouble following them, but having at times tested what they said, and found it accurate, I've grown to trust what they say. And when I've got the belief that there is a God, that ultimately knows what is best for us, for those that receive instruction from Him, I feel that I can trust them not to lead me astray. Now, I do believe in scriptures, such as the Bible, and that they are...important sources of knowledge, but there are times when I have trouble with them, or at least the bible (I am LDS, so I also have what is called the Doctrine and Covenants, and also the Book of Mormon). I believe that, since these were all written by God, they might have mistakes. With all the translations and such of the Bible, it is particularly prone to...problems. But even for those things that I have trouble with initially, I can oftentimes find ways of thinking of them so that I don't anymore. It is the same case with science that seems to conflict with things said in my church. Usually, there is a way of resolving anything seemingly contradictory. Hopefully this is clear, and helps to make sense of what I think and believe?Oct 23 2011: 4. (specialist) I think I agree with your view of specialist. I mostly mean that we need to trust people to fill responsibilities in our lives/societies that require special training, and that we thus can't do ourselves. Even if they mostly know better what they don't know, they do actually have more understanding of a small part of how the world works than those not specialized in that area. And that is how they are able to do things like doctoring and other what not, while we can't.
I too will now thank you! You give an interesting perspective, that helps me to think...further, and more deeply, about things. And I find what seems more similarities than differences in thought and opinion.Oct 20 2011: Also...not to overly respond to you, but I've got one more thing to say...
You should be careful about the way you express an atheist's belief's towards God. Using the phrase refuse to believe in God gives the impression in my mind that they are refusing to see the truth, that despite that they know it, they don't want it to be so. I'm pretty sure that isn't what you meant, and that some people who not be happy with that impression applied to themselves...
I personally would just say don't believe that there is a God or deity.
Thank you for commenting on this, and expressing your ideas!
Oct 20 2011: Yes, I said : "So being an atheist is just more than refusing to believe in God."
But I said this to CRITICIZE the common idea that atheists "refuse to believe", precisely.
So, we agree here !
Oct 20 2011: Gerald and Issac if you will allow me to join this debate here, I would like to share my view on the matter.
Gerald you claim that we as humans create knowledge exponentially, but give no specifics on how we do this. Could you possibly elaborate for me? How do we as humans generate knowledge?
Also in your response to me you state, "At one point, at the begining really, you admit that some problems have no solution don't you? Why is there a God instead of nothing?"
I'm afraid I do not understand your claim. If you could possibly word it a different way then I can better respond to it.
Furthermore, you state that I think that some problems do not have solutions. I do not believe as you describe. I in fact agree with you that there is an infinite number of problems and an infinite number of solutions. The difference between me and you is where we find those solutions.Oct 23 2011: I did not realize, Gerald, the reason you used refuse in the sentence. Given your use, I quite approve!Oct 21 2011: Andrew. We generate knowledge when we create good explanations. Saying that Aeolus is responsible for the wind brings no knowledge about climatology. Saying that living organisms are vehicules for genes brings knowledge that might wipe out cancer.
And when you got a good explanation, you raise a great deal of brand new problems. So then you have these to work on, until they in turn raise new problems. This process is infinite, provided you're living in a society that allows inovation.
I said that you admit certain problems to have no solution. And you disagree. My view was that it was part of believing in God not to question its origins, its purpose, and why the heck there couldn't be just .... NOTHING instead of a universe and a creator of it?
I thought you didn't have solutions to these, that you would just say that "because He is God, He is there. Because He is God, He needs no origins. Because He is God, we will never know His purpose."
This is admitting limit in explanatory power. But you don't admit this so I was wrong about you.
You think that God can be mesured, explained with equations, albeit complicated ones. That someday we'll understand how Gods can generate out of nothing, and we just might make more of them once we understand what they're made of. Right?
Oct 23 2011: I believe in questioning things, or at least asking. If there is a God, it is good to question why, how it came about, etc. To say no, it is wrong to question is to accept blindly, which seems like a bad idea. That isn't to say that you shouldn't trust something, even when you don't have an answer yet as to why.
I don't think humans, in our present form, will ever understand God, because I don't think we have the capacity for it, but not that He is unknowable. We can know Him as much as possible in this life, and have a full understanding in the next, for the bits we're missing.Oct 24 2011: We do not generate knowledge Gerald. The knowledge is already there. We just discover the knowledge.
You beg the question, "Why can't there be nothing". This is arbitrary thought is it not?
God is in fact someone we will never fully understand, because He is beyond full human comprehension. Furthermore, to fully understand an omnipotent and omniscient God, we would have to have the quality of omniscience; which we as humans cannot attain. To "create a god" we would have to have omnipotence as well. To have both these qualities would give us the characteristics of a deity; which we cannot have because we are humans.
Issac you are right on track. One should never believe in something without a good reason to do so. If not one is being arbitrary and thus illogical. Which is obviously not good.Oct 24 2011: Andrew, you said "the knowledge is already there".
Where is it? Where is it waiting? And while you're at it, what do you thing knowledge is?
Oct 25 2011: Knowledge is information learned, or if you want an official definition "knowledge-acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report."(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/knowledge)
I just showed you knowledge by giving you that definition. As to where it is, it is everywhere, on this page, in schools, in books, in observation of animals, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on. If we as humans created knowledge then how do we know that knowledge is correct or true since we humans are faulty in our nature. Then what in turn created the knowledge in us to create knowledge. In your worldview nothing created anything, so how could knowledge exist in the first place. It is illogical in your worldview to think so.
I also have some questions, where did we as humans gain this knowledge of creating knowledge, what is the logical process of this and how did it begin?Oct 25 2011: Andrew, exactly. We're only humans and our knowledge is proven not to be absolutely reliable. Even our best theories are likely to be part wrong, for all we know. Knowledge IS unperfect.
The only knowledge we claim to be truthfull is the knowledge we all agree on, as humans still. "The sky is blue", is a fact because we happen to agree on such statement NOT BECAUSE IT IS TRUE. We miss many colours about the sky that bees might be able to see, or other species might see it in grey tones.
This is what makes it interesting. Since nothing is truthfull, what do we chose to agree upon? That women and men should be treated equally, that no human race should rule over another, that water is wet, etc... Without this choice to make, philosophy and science would be pointless.
"What created the knowledge in us to create knowledge?" Natural and sexual selection did. We evolved as knowledge creators. This is our survival trick. We're not the only animal able to create knowledge (apes, crows, etc...), but we're the best at it since we don't just learn from mimic ; we learn from looking for the purpose of someone's action or some phenomenum, and this seems to be exclusive to us.
Does this answer your question? Or do you think refering to evolution is a cheap trick that avoids explaining? If you don't believe in evolution or don't understand how it could possibly work, I'll try my best at explaining it for you.
One more thing, "In your worldview nothing created anything". This is not my worldview. Rather, in my worldview, the origins of all things have a better explanation that just "being created either by humans or by God." This is what people believed thousands of years before the scientific revolution, when the cosmos had it's first model that didn't need supernatural intervention.
Oct 30 2011: Gerald, if nothing were true, then what makes the statement "nothing is true" an acceptable statement? I do agree that some species will see different colors, but take for example I see the equation 2+2=4. The answer is simple enough, but is that the right answer because we happen to agree about the answer of the equation or is it true. Is it acceptable for the bees to look at this equation and say 2+2=5, or any other human? No of course not, if someone told you that, you would think of them as quite unintelligent.
You unfortunately did not answer my second question "What created the knowledge in us to create knowledge." First off, the laws of information contradict the belief that we create knowledge. "No material being can create a non-material being". (you can google "laws of information" to double check this assertion) With this law in mind, it is impossible for us as humans to create knowledge, a non-material being.
As to your last point, then what is your explanation for origins? Also what makes it better? What makes it a fact if not everyone agrees upon it?Oct 20 2011: I am also a non-Atheist. I'm agnostic.
I'm not sure that I necessarily *don't* "believe in [the] exponen[t]ial growth of knowledge" but if I indeed don't it's because I don't actually think people are limitless in intellect, not because of a mysterious supernatural force.
(Also, I'd argue that religion is more than simply 'belief in supernatural being(s)': it's the ritual that accompanies and demonstrates said belief - or in many people's cases *substitutes* for the belief.)
Oct 20 2011: You don't need to be limitless in intellect. Only Rainman would attempt to do math without paper and a pensil.
Memory capacity and computation speed has long been multiplied without our brains evolving. Try comparing genomes without a computer.
Are you saying computers are not limitless in their performance, then?
And for the second part of your comment, I was only worrying about the superstitious part of religion, since this is what separates theists from atheists. Habits and rituals do not separate them ;)
Gisela McKay
Oct 20 2011: Calculations may indeed be limitless, but "calculations" and "knowledge" are not synonymous.
- +1
I'm not sure a computer has ever generated knowledge. Somewhere in the grey area would be simulations which can be interpreted to form knowledge, but all the parameters were input by a person. I willingly await an example of a computer spontaneously generating knowledge.Oct 20 2011: Also, I have no idea what an agnostic is. Can you explain it to me?
Oct 20 2011: We're those people who wonder why this argument has been going on as long as it has, considering it's rigged such that the answer can never be provable.
Over the centuries, how much mental energy has been wasted on the topic of the existence or lack of existence of god(s)?
In other words, we're in the "I don't know and I don't care" camp.Oct 21 2011: I've noticed that the "I don't know and I don't care camp" are particularly vocal (not necessarily you) about their agnosticism. By the way, an atheist, is by definition an agnostic. Agnosticism is a claim on knowledge and atheism is a claim on belief. Of course we don't know whether God exists or not, we don't know that there isn't a teapot circling around Mars right now as we speak, but we've got fairly good reasons to believe he doesn't exist (whichever one we're talking about). Only religious people truly claim gnosticism. I'm pretty sure you're an atheist Gisela, you just don't want to say it because it's a negatively loaded word.

The Iron Mask was Douglas Fairbanks' sequel to his popular 1921 vehicle The Three Musketeers. Fairbanks returns to his original role of D'Artagnan, while Marguerite de La Motte and Nigel De Brulier briefly reprise their Musketeers roles as, respectively, Constance and Cardinal Richelieu. After tying up loose plot ends from the first film, the middle-aged D'Artagnan and his equally venerable fellow musketeers Athos (Leon Bary, also returning from the 1921 film), Porthos (Stanley J. Tiny Sandford) and Aramis (Gino Corrado) set about to rescue Louis XIV (William Bakewell), the rightful King of France. Louis XIV has been entombed in a dungeon by his twin brother (also Bakewell) and his head has been locked in an impenetrable iron mask. All of this is at the behest of the scheming De Rochefort (Ulrich Haupt), the real power behind the throne. The Iron Mask was Fairbanks' last silent film; perhaps in acknowledgment of the passing of a Golden era, Fairbanks died on screen for the first and only time in his career. Most currently available prints of Iron Mask are taken from the 1940 reissue, narrated by Douglas Fairbanks Jr; in 1974 the younger Fairbanks prepared a restored version of the original, including two brief dialogue passages filmed by Fairbanks back in 1929.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
