ComSign, LTD, and the hacked digital seal of the State of Israel - Doron Barzilay, President of the Israel Bar Association, fails to provide a sample of his electronic signature
The Israel Bar Association has agreed to review Ethics Complaints against Attorneys Yorm HaCohen, Amit Ashkenazi, senior officers of the Ministry of Justice, for Fraud and Breach of Loyalty, relative to implementation of the Electronic Signature Act (2001). However, the Bar is also in long-term business relationship with the beneficiary of such conduct - ComSign, LTD, and now, with ComSign and others, denies public access to inspect and to copy the electronic signatures of the State of Israel.

Jerusalem and Los Angeles, August 7 - Doron Barzilay, President of the Israel Bar Association, has failed to provide a sample of his electronic signature. [1] The sample electronic signature was requested as part of the evidence in Ethics Complaints against Attorneys Yoram HaCohen and Amit Ashkenazi, senior Ministry of Justice officers, for Fraud and Breach of Loyalty, relative to their conduct under the guise of "Registrar of Certifying Authorities," pursuant to the Electronic Signature Act (2001). [2]
As detailed in the request letter, forwarded to Attorney Barzilay, in such Ethics Complaints, the Israel Bar Association would be:
- Adjudicating complaints by an outsider against their own members
- Making at least some ad hoc rules of the procedure, and
- In long-term business relationship with the beneficiary of the conduct - ComSign, LTD.
Now, with the refusal of Attorney Barzilay to provide a sample of his electronic signature, the Bar is also colluding with the ComSign and others in concealing the certified electronic signatures of the State of Israel from the People.
The Ethics Complaints allege that conduct of Attorneys Yoram HaCohen and Amit Ashkenazi undermined and undermines the integrity of legal Public Records of the State of Israel..
Proliferation of falsified and simulated court records has been repeatedly documented in recent years:
- Falsification of court records is the basis for disciplinary complaint by the Israel Bar Association against Judge Vardah AlSheikh of the Tel-Aviv District Court,
- Falsification of court records has also been documented in cases related to the late Moshe Silman in the Tel-Aviv District Court. [3]
- Haaretz daily reported the falsification of court records in the Detainees Courts,
- The 2012 Human Rights Alert (NGO) report documented falsification of records in the Supreme Court. [4]
IBM and EDS, US-based corporations, were involved in the implementation of the fraudulent electronic record systems of the State of Israel over the past decade . Similar systems had been implemented in the state and federal courts in the United States a couple of decades earlier. The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert to the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations, regarding the United States, was reviewed by the HRC professional staff and incorporated in the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to �corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.� [5]

Name of Event: Team Cul de Sac Drink and Draw.
Date of Event: June 20th 2014 Drink and Draw at Heroescon
Chris Sparks, a professional web designer, is leading the Team Cul de Sac (TCDS) fundraising effort in honor of his friend Richard Thompson, the cartoonist behind the Cul de Sac comic strip. Richard has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Our next fundraiser is June 20th at Heroescon in Charlotte, NC. Cartoonists will be sketching on coasters which will be immediately auctioned off. An auction of larger art pieces will also take place depending on what is donated.
With Richard's support, in 2012 TCDS asked cartoonists across the country to draw his characters so the artwork that was compiled into a fundraising book and the artworkwas auctioned to raise additional money. Hundreds of cartoonists responded and sent artwork that was compiled in a book published by Andrews McMeel. You can buy it at most bookstores. The book has cartoons from many of Richard's personal friends including Stephen Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Sergio Aragones (Mad, Groo), Patrick McDonnell (Mutts), Pat Oliphant (Pulitzer Prize political cartoonist), Dave Kellet (Sheldon, Drive), Gene Weingarten and David Clark (Barney & Clyde), Mason Mastroianni (B.C.), Roger Langridge (Muppet Show comic book, Marvel's Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Fred the Clown), Shannon Gallant (G.I.Joe), Michael Cavna (Washington Post), Steven Artley (Artleytoons), Barbara Dale and Steve Conley (Astounding Space Thrills, Bloop) and even Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes fame. Many other fantastic cartoonists contributed, space doesn't permit us to list them all, but we appreciate everyone's contributions.

We got in a little early for check in and our room wasn't ready. We headed for breakfast and upon finishing on asking for the bill I was told it was on the house as I was waiting for a room. I was pleasantly surprised. I was with a 10 month who fell sick on the last night at around 3am. I went down to the reception and asked for a digital thermometer which I got immediately and not just that, they booked a taxi fr me to the local hospital which did not charge me any consultation fee for.

This is a new hotel with a great location. You are close to Patong, but the area is quiet, relaxing and beautyful. The resort was very stylish and fresh with lots of artistic and elegant details. The service was impeccable, the staff was attentive and they all spoke english very well. The restaurant served delicious breakfasts and dinner to die for. I would love to go back as soon as possible. - Anonymous
The Salathai Resort was beautiful - the Staff were so friendly & accomodating, in fact they really couldnt do enough for you! All the staff were very efficient & the hotel is kept very clean. The resort is lovely & quiet, even though it is very close to Bangla Road - We called it our little piece of heaven - it had such a lovely atmosphere to the place. A bonus is that the drinks (coke, sprite, orange etc) in the mini bar/fridge were FREE!!! We couldnt believe it... The prices in th - Anonymous
The staff were superb. From housekeeping to the manager, everyone took the time to greet us with a smile and say hello. The bar staff are also excellent and the cocktails are great value for money (5 for 500 baht). The breakfast buffet is great and there is an omelette and pancake/crepe station, as well as a fresh juice station! We also tried out the spa which was really good and very peaceful.

We booked one night away from being busy parents on our honeymoon and had an amazing time at La Flora. A beautiful hotel with beautiful staff. A lovely lady could not wait to take us to our room and show us the honeymoon cake, decorations and special things they had arranged for us. The free mini bar is a great idea and there is a lot of attention to detail. The restaurant was lovely and the food was good, amazing spot to watch the sun set over the water. Loved the location so close to Bangala - Anonymous
It was very close to the beach, restaurants and all the shops. The room was nice and big with a good bathroom. There was free use of the computer. It is at the end of a street with many facilities including pharmacies, restaurants, clothes shops, massage places etc. - Anonymous
Location on the hill so away from the noise but close to all the action and shopping in Patong. This brand new hotel is gorgeous, provides free training classes in the gym with an instructor daily and the pool is divine. Can't wait to come back. - Anonymous
The staff is very friendly, patient and helpful. The hotel's location is superb - it is in the middle of all the happenings, yet it has its own secluded compounds and is quiet in the midst of all the busyness and noise around it. It is very convenient for us to just walk a short distance to the Bangla Road or Patong Beach, and retreat to the serenity of the hotel within minutes. The service of the hotel tour operators in the hotel is superb. Everything is just perfect! - Anonymous
The hotel is in a great location - not far from beach and very close to crazy Bangla road! If you are after a quiet place to stay, this might not be for you. I was traveling on my own and enjoyed seeing all the craziness and then only having short walk back to hotel. The pool is great, and the room was lovely and view from rooftop are beautiful. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat! - Anonymous
We are really impressed by this hotel. The location is good. 5 min walk to the beach. 10 min walk to the shopping center. The service is excellent. The hotel arranged an extra sofa as bed for my kid which is really helpful. We enjoyed our vacation very much! - Anonymous

Summary: Broadly describes the essential topics of the organic chemicals industry
In the past two decades, the organic chemicals industry has undergone unprecedented restructuring, complicated feedstock problems, and massive shifts of capacity to developing countries. In the developed world, specialty chemicals have gained increasing significance. Although the fundamentals of organic chemical and polymer production have remained largely constant, one needs to be aware of the economic, struct ...show moreural, and political changes in the industry in order to understand its current state.
This much-expanded Second Edition of Industrial Organic Chemicals presents the various technologies and processes involved in the organic chemicals industry as an organized body of knowledge. It describes the chemistry of the seven basic building block chemicals and their derivatives, how they are manufactured, their economic importance, uses, and associated environmental issues. Also covered are two topics essential to an understanding of modern industrial chemistry-catalysis and polymer synthesis.
Key additions to this Second Edition include discussion of:
* Sustainability and ''green'' chemistry
* Dendrimers
* Metallocenes
* Chemicals in biotechnology
* Specialty chemicals for pharmaceuticals, electronics, fire retardation, fuel additives, foods, and other uses
* Economic, political, and social concepts for understanding future directions of the industry
Industrial Organic Chemicals, Second Edition presents the chemistry of both large-scale and specialty products while taking into account important political, environmental, and economic considerations. It provides both a narrative account of the evolution of today's industry from the viewpoint of authors intimately involved with the changes, and an essential reference for chemists, chemical engineers, plastics engineers, petroleum engineers, managers, executives, and policy makers working in and with the organic chemical industry. ...show less

Customer Service
Are you being served?
Oh lawd - this would have set my Little Miss Commentating Whistleblower in a tizzy of excitement ... probably exactly what she wrote in for in the first place.
We're a bit out of touch here in the Greek isles but a media savvy pal drew my attention to a copy of the Daily Telegraph where they cover customer service and actually ask for examples from true life.
"As good customer service in Britain is put on hold, the Telegraph identifies the serial offenders who make our lives a misery and asks to hear readers' horror stories.Oh my goodness ... what a clarion call this might have been to spell out our (now resolved) 2-year Barclays debarclay débâcle as hinted at here.Your call is important to us …
Every Telegraph reader will have their own horror stories to tell. We are inviting you to submit chapter-and-verse examples ... service so atrocious, so slipshod, so insensitive to your needs, that it left you shaking with fury."
I must keep this on file for passing on to others as a promising outlet for woes.
I'm almost sorry we have no further grounds for complaint,

Any of about 200 described species of free-swimming marine cnidarians (in the classes Scyphozoa and Cubozoa), many of which have a bell-shaped body. The term is also frequently applied to other similar cnidarians (e.g., Portuguese man-of-war) and some unrelated forms (e.g., ctenophores and salps). In scyphozoan jellyfish, the free-swimming medusa form is the dominant stage, with the sessile polyp form found only during larval development. Jellyfish live in all oceans and include the familiar disk-shaped animals that are often found drifting along the shoreline. Most species are 1–16 in. (2–40 cm) in diameter; some are 6 ft (1.8 m) in diameter, with tentacles more than 100 feet (30 m) long. Though some jellyfish simply filter-feed, most feed on small animals (e.g., crustaceans) that they catch in their tentacles, whose stinging cells immobilize the prey; contact can be irritating and sometimes dangerous to humans. The cubozoan jellyfish comprise 50 species of box jellies (the rather spherical body is squared off at the edges), which are usually 1–2 in. (2–4 cm) in diameter.

Does software modeling pay? – Empirical studies in UML (presentation)
The announcement of Michel Chaudron's talk AT the Jeudi des Modèles conference series: Modeling effectively – insights from empirical studies raised some interesting discussions .
For those that could not attend the talk, Michel has upload the slides he used. You can see them here .
There is a lot of information on the slides (and unfortunately, without the context you'll miss some things) but some quick conclusions of his experiments:
- Modelers economize by focusing on complex and critical parts
- Modeling improves modularity
- Modeling improves understandability
- Modeling has also a somewhat positive influence in the correctness, testabilty and adequate coverage of the requirements.
- Using sequence diagrams reduce defects in the code
Reactions to these results?

It was only a little more than a year ago that the school shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn., shook the country into a national conversation about gun violence.
But on Tuesday, when police say a gunman walked into the electrical engineering building on Purdue University's campus and killed a fellow student, thrusting the campus into lock-down, many felt it was just another, run-of-the-mill school shooting event.
The Purdue killing followed on the heels of a string of school shootings in recent months, including one where two students were shot at a Philadelphia charter school on Friday, one at Widener University in Philadelphia Monday, and one in New Mexico on Jan. 15.
And just today, the University of Oklahoma was put on lockdown and SWAT teams were called in after a faculty member mistook loud bangs outside of a building as gunshots. The campus president said that teachers were "on edge" because of the violence happening around the country.
Reactions on Twitter to the latest outbreak of violence showed a mix of disappointment and weariness at yet another headline of student violence.
@ABC @currycolleen Our daily school shooting.

At this point homeschooling should really be an option "@ABC: 1 dead in Purdue University shooting: http://t.co/MHrVE8pVd3 – @currycolleen" — Lulu (@TheyCallMeLuci) January 22, 2014
One school shooting veteran and safety expert said the feeling could be attributed to the fact that Monday's shooting appeared to be targeted, not random.
Bill Bond, who was principal of Health High School in Paducah, Ky., when a student opened fire on a prayer circle there in 1997, said that the nation reacts more to school shootings and tragedies in general when the violence is senseless and appears to have no motive or rationale.
Bond now works as a school safety specialist at the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
"I think we were so shocked and horrified by Sandy Hook that it's in our consciousness. And when we think of a school shooting and it's something like in Purdue, where it appears there was a grudge or a rationale for it, it wasn't a random school shooting. That's not a national event any more than most other shootings would be," Bond said.
Police apprehended suspect Cody Cousins, 23, moments after the shooting. He is accused of killing teaching assistant Andrew Boldt, 21, in the basement of the engineering building around noon Tuesday. Campus Police Chief John Cox said witnesses believed the shooting was an "intentional act," but are still investigating a motive.
Bond said the one-on-one shooting was part of the reason it didn't rise to a national level.
@ABC @currycolleen another one? People need a purpose in life other than shooting each other. Let's build relationships and spread love — denise prado (@deniprado) January 22, 2014
@ABC @currycolleen my gosh,what s wrong with young people of usa
— SERGHINO MCGARRETT (@MBKSTREE) January 22, 2014
Bond pointed to the Boston bombing as another example of a tragedy that struck what he called "the national consciousness." Though there were only three deaths, the randomness and lack of clear rationale left the nation shaken, he said.
"When it's random and there's no rationale for hostility between the kids, just a completely random shooting like I experienced at Health, where the shooter had no grudge whatsoever against anyone he shot, those strike that national tone," Bond said. "The one in Purdue looks like it was a targeted shooting as opposed to a random shooting, that's not going to strike a national tone.

Laying the foundation for good design.
A thorough review of floor covering and finish choices is important for all areas of new or renovated buildings. In fact, there is a vast array of choices available to commercial stakeholders. But first, Building Teams should briefly survey key trends and recommendations affecting the flooring choice, as well as important information on interaction of coverings with accessories, adhesives, and adjacent building systems.
Wood flooring. A trade survey last year of hardwood flooring retailers and installers indicated that competitive pricing presents the greatest barrier to specification of wood flooring for all project types. Yet many commercial clients prefer the wood aesthetic, forcing design teams to ponder how to deliver a cost-effective, low-maintenance wood floor.
Prefinished and pre-engineered wood products offer potential solutions to this dilemma. Prefinished systems, with ultraviolet- or UV-cured urethane sealants, often contain added aluminum oxide or ceramics to increase durability. "The pre-finishes are even outperforming many site finishes," says the NWFA's Kroupa. For those who prefer to finish on site, technology is now available to UV-cure a finish once it has been put down. As for engineered products, which generally offer better stability than natural woods—especially with regard to expansion and contraction—the commercial flooring sector is seeing increased specification rates. Kroupa indicates that more than 50% of the market for wood flooring is for over-concrete applications; engineered wood flooring is specifically designed for installation over concrete.
But even as the technology improves, traditional floor finishes are still popular. "We're seeing a lot of wax-oil hybrid finishes" in addition to oil and wax alone, says Kroupa, For example, at the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain, all front-of-house floors are finished with hardened oil. Easily maintained by staff with a renovator oil, the steady flow of heavy foot traffic actually rubs the oil into the wood, creating a hard patina and actually increasing durability with usage. "Natural oils and wax are a great option—retro and green at the same time," says WXY's Pew.
Resilient flooring. The choice of resilient alternative often depends upon client preference and the usage of the space. Linoleum is a popular choice because of its easy maintenance and green attributes. The composition is largely renewable materials: Lotz calls it "100% green," and Baisch says it's "the gold standard." Both linoleum and rubber flooring offer durability, stain resistance, and acoustic dampening.
Rubber is specified frequently for institutional applications like schools and college facilities, and can be especially beneficial in healthcare settings. According to Hansen, "Rubber can provide foot comfort and back comfort, which is particularly advantageous where occupants are on their feet at length, like in an operating room." She cautions, however, that rubber-flooring composition can vary. For a good selection, it must not contain recycled tires if it to be used indoors, since tires contain toxic chemicals and were not developed for use in building interiors. Recycled rubber flooring products now usually meet California 1350, "the most stringent IAQ test available," notes Hansen. "But there are still issues with chemicals used in tire production, which could be released into the air and into occupants' bodies as the flooring system degrades."
Linoleum meets a number of initial sustainability considerations, although porcelain tile, ceramic tile, carpet tile, thin-set terrazzo, and cork (including rubber-cork blends) are all viewed as green alternatives by Building Teams. Materials that are typically described as cost-effective options are linoleum, porcelain, ceramic, and some precast terrazzo tiles. "We're recommending more porcelain tile while the price is coming down due to the Italian market saturating the United States," says Gensler's Baisch. Cork, however, faces difficulty in competing on pure cost-effectiveness because it requires careful maintenance.
Many design professionals mention terrazzo tiles and epoxy coverings as excellent options in resilient flooring, although some caution that clients prefer to limit its use due to the upfront cost. "On the other hand, terrazzo will last forever and is easy to maintain," says Franz, who calls it "the chameleon of floor covering," in that the material can be precast or cast in place to create a wide array of styles and finishes.
Polished concrete. "Based on sustainability guidelines, I have recommended polished concrete as a low-VOC, low-maintenance option," says QKA's Quattrocchi. Polished concrete eliminates the need for an applied surface covering: using specialized polish tools, the concrete floor is beaten, ground, and rubbed until smooth and gleaming. Not every concrete floor is a candidate for polish, but those that are can be transformed into highly durable, low-maintenance surfaces. The sheen can be matte or glossy, and the concrete can be artfully dyed and designed before polishing.
The drawback with polished concrete is the structural concerns: settling and cracking. Though not likely to be a concern for slab-on-grade applications, a polished concrete floor will be unable to conceal any cracking. "We've never successfully specified it," says Hansen. "Even if the client likes the aesthetic, we feel compelled to mention that it could crack," she adds.
Polyurethane paint can serve as an economical coating for concrete and another alternative to coverings, adds WXY's Pew.
Infection control. Certain commercial and institutional applications have gravitated toward flooring solutions that control bacteria, fungus, and other sources of infection. This is commonly done with resilient flooring that can be seamed when installed, to be effectively monolithic. Flooring products are often manufactured or installed with an added anti-microbial treatment, but the success and cost-effectiveness of these treatments are not fully verified. "Our extensive research into the topic suggests that by specifying it unnecessarily, we could be doing more harm than good," says Hansen, with reference to her work in hospitals, labs, and higher education projects.
If there are no seams (or only carefully controlled ones), then a floor likely will not harbor or transfer infectious microbes. For this reason, commercial epoxy, vinyl, rubber, or linoleum are often specified in hospitals, laboratories, kitchens, schools, and daycare facilities. STUDIOS Architecture's Krochmaluk points to a vinyl floor installed in a back-of-house food preparation area in a corporate project as an example. "We had success with a sheet vinyl product that can be rolled out and right up the wall to create an integral cove base," he says. The joints can be heat-seamed to create a monolithic, microbe-resistant floor. Best of all, the integral base eliminates a typical area where food particles and dirt might collect, easing O&M needs.
Accessories. Flooring is never truly monolithic across a full building floor. There are joints and seams in places where one flooring type meets another, or where the flow of materials intersects with a dissimilar building system like a partition or door, thus creating potential aesthetic and maintenance difficulties. Ideally, transitions should always be flush and aesthetically seamless. Careful attention to joints also can pay off in enhanced client satisfaction.
"Where a corridor meets a restroom floor, the designer should give careful consideration to making a nice, effective transition," says Hansen. Sustainable design principles are just as important when it comes to accessory components: metal and wood may be preferred over other materials, depending on their material makeup and maintenance requirements.
Some Building Teams give preference to flooring systems whose manufacturers provide products or guidance on suitable trim and joint detailing. Unfortunately, not all wood flooring manufacturers produce all the necessary trims, saddles, joints, and especially nosings (for stair landings and other drop-off points) to match every species, says Kroupa. These accessories may have to be fabricated in a mill shop, adding expense.
In terms of ADA-friendly and hazard-free interior designs, Building Teams may favor headers and feature strips to T-moldings, because flush joints eliminate tripping potential and may be preferred aesthetically. Another safety consideration: glare. "We try to avoid using thresholds with a high glare factor," says Quadrangle's Robbie. "They can be difficult for people with low vision to distinguish." Building Teams should consult manufacturer literature and technical representatives to select appropriate accessories, joints, and trims, say experts.
Floors must be specified to meet the needs and likely habits of those who will clean and maintain them. Wherever possible, the facilities manager and even the operations and maintenance crew should be on the list for project communications, so that the floor can be maintained correctly from occupation through the life of the building.
Every building professional can offer a poignant example of maintenance-related flooring failure. "We specified cork floor, which worked well and looked great," STUDIOS' Krochmaluk recalls. "But a cleaning crew went at it with water and a wet mop. In no time at all the cork peeled off." His recommendation for bigger projects with large facilities crews? "Keep it simple."
Basic, durable, low-maintenance finishes are going to be preferable in most project types, according to the experts. Lotz suggests it is wise to assume that maintenance budgets are going to be underfunded, so Building Teams should specify with that reality in mind. The experience and attendant knowledge of the maintenance crew should also be assessed and factored into decisions about finishes.
Other operations and maintenance issues should factor in to questions of cost-effectiveness and long-term return on investment (ROI). "Vinyl resilient tile is seen as low-cost compared to rubber tiling," says Robbie. "But the ongoing waxing and stripping requirements, versus simple damp-mop cleaning for rubber, can mean very high O&M costs." The wood floors described earlier at Cracker Barrel restaurants offer a similar example: specifying prefinished wood may be less expensive up front, but a wood floor with an added finish that becomes more durable with heavy foot traffic (and simple maintenance) will likely present long-term cost savings.
Most designers agree that manufacturers bear some responsibility for communicating to the design team and to the facilities crew what is required to properly maintain the flooring. Rappoport even feels that the floor finish-material supplier is obliged to train the client's cleaning staff in order to avoid a situation that could damage the installed finish.
There is also the question of sustainability and green design. Franz advises his clients, wherever possible, to use floor finishes made from natural materials, such as flamed stone, unfinished wood, and the like. These materials offer a beautiful aesthetic with low maintenance requirements, and can become more beautiful with age and wear, he says.
Others, including Hansen, strongly recommend finding out from the manufacturer if they have a green-cleaning protocol in place. "The products we specify have to be maintained for a very long time, even for the life of the building," she says. "We want the flooring to last as long as possible, and we want the IAQ to be optimal for the building occupants and maintenance staff." +

I'm at home watching the Price Is Right, and that new male model is sharing half the duty, modeling all the cars and prices.
Being a gay man, being queer, being someone who loves the entire LGBT community as I do, it's hard to wrap my head around it: but it is such a head trip watching this guy.
His job is seriously just to be pretty. He stands there and showcases whatever prize is available, gives a funny face or cute smile and waves at the audience in a manner that only says "Hi, I'm pretty! I'm really pretty!"
It's funny that you're conditioned to see woman acting this way on a regular basis on TV and not questioning it or seeing it as odd. But I'm watching this guy and I'm like... "is this really happening?"
A sign that progression is happening even ahead than what I can imagine.
He's not always shirtless, but he always looks good.

Unless we craft a law that forces someone to publish before they are paid for

And just to be clear, honest, hard work does not deserve a guuantee of being
paid for by others. If, for instance, I go out onto a deserted public beach
and spend a week working hard in the hot sun digging a football sized hole
three feet deep, I may indeed have done honest work. It may have been hard
work too. Who should I demand pay me for that honest and hard work?
It is only if I set out to work at the behest of another and for an agreed
upon rate that I can reasonably demand payment from that person for the act
of working on what hey asked me to work on.
If I set out to work for myself on my own initiative and make something that I
like, I have my own reward. I have what I made. If someone gets wind that I
have this and they wnat it, they can buy it from me at an agreed upon price.

It is simply to point out that even the current way out laws on the books do
not satisfy those who demand copyright work in the way they insist to protect

On free will and determinism - a discussion for the mind, not the heart.
An article I found interesting early this morning, and one which I believe Dr. Wu may also enjoy.(Blatant appeal to both authority and popularity. You gotta love logical fallacies at times. .) In any event, since it is not a troll bait article, I may or may not participate further, but I did think it was worth a thread based on the philosophical concepts discussed within. A word of caution: If you are one of those people who do not like long posts and have no desire to read detailed and parsed discussions spread out over a longer piece, you might well be the sort who should avoid this thread altogether. I cannot speak to the worth of investing the effort, but I DID find it informative, at the very least. The accompanying poll is short, and PUBLIC. Others will know how you voted, if they care to check. It is also multiple choice, for those who are still scratching their stuff on fence pickets. The Limits of the Coded World [nytimes.com] By WILLIAM EGGINTON In an influential article in the Annual Review of Neuroscience, Joshua Gold of the University of Pennsylvania and Michael Shadlen of the University of Washington sum up experiments aimed at discovering the neural basis of decision-making. In one set of experiments, researchers attached sensors to the parts of monkeys' brains responsible for visual pattern recognition. The monkeys were then taught to respond to a cue by choosing to look at one of two patterns. Computers reading the sensors were able to register the decision a fraction of a second before the monkeys' eyes turned to the pattern. As the monkeys were not deliberating, but rather reacting to visual stimuli, researchers were able to plausibly claim that the computer could successfully predict the monkeys' reaction. In other words, the computer was reading the monkeys' minds and knew before they did what their decision would be. The implications are immediate. If researchers can in theory predict what human beings will decide before they themselves know it, what is left of the notion of human freedom? How can we say that humans are free in any meaningful way if others can know what their decisions will be before they themselves make them? Research of this sort can seem frightening. An experiment that demonstrated the illusory nature of human freedom would, in many people's mind, rob the test subjects of something essential to their humanity. If a machine can tell me what I am about to decide before I decide it, this means that, in some sense, the decision was already made before I became consciously involved. But if that is the case, how am I, as a moral agent, to be held accountable for my actions? If, on the cusp of an important moral decision, I now know that my decision was already taken at the moment I thought myself to be deciding, does this not undermine my responsibility for that choice? Some might conclude that resistance to such findings reveal a religious bias. After all, the ability to consciously decide is essential in many religions to the idea of humans as spiritual beings. Without freedom of choice, a person becomes a cog in the machine of nature; with action and choice predetermined, morality and ultimately the very meaning of that person's existence is left in tatters. Theologians have spent a great deal of time ruminating on the problem of determination. The Catholic response to the theological problem of theodicy — that is, of how to explain the existence of evil in a world ruled by a benevolent and omnipotent God — was to teach that God created humans with free will. It is only because evil does exist that humans are free to choose between good and evil; hence, the choice for good has meaning. As the theologians at the Council of Trent in the 16th century put it, freedom of will is essential for Christian faith, and it is anathema to believe otherwise. Protestant theologians such as Luther and Calvin, to whom the Trent statement was responding, had disputed this notion on the basis of God's omniscience. If God's ability to know were truly limitless, they argued, then his knowledge of the future would be as clear and perfect as his knowledge of the present and of the past. If that were the case, though, then God would already know what each and every one of us has done, is doing, and will do at every moment in our lives. And how, then, could we be truly free? Even though this particular resistance to a deterministic model of human behavior is religious, one can easily come to the same sorts of conclusions from a scientific perspective. In fact, when religion and science square off around human freedom, they often end up on remarkably similar ground because both science and religion base their assumptions on an identical understanding of the world as something intrinsically knowable, either by God or ourselves. Let me explain what I mean by way of an example. Imagine we suspend a steel ball from a magnet directly above a vertical steel plate, such that when I turn off the magnet, the ball hits the edge of the plate and falls to either one side or the other. Very few people, having accepted the premises of this experiment, would conclude from its outcome that the ball in question was exhibiting free will. Whether the ball falls on one side or the other of the steel plate, we can all comfortably agree, is completely determined by the physical forces acting on the ball, which are simply too complex and minute for us to monitor. And yet we have no problem assuming the opposite to be true of the application of the monkey experiment to theoretical humans: namely, that because their actions are predictable they can be assumed to lack free will. In other words, we have no reason to assume that either predictability or lack of predictability has anything to say about free will. The fact that we do make this association has more to do with the model of the world that we subtly import into such thought experiments than with the experiments themselves. The model in question holds that the universe exists in space and time as a kind of ultimate code that can be deciphered. This image of the universe has a philosophical and religious provenance, and has made its way into secular beliefs and practices as well. In the case of human freedom, this presumption of a "code of codes" works by convincing us that a prediction somehow decodes or deciphers a future that already exists in a coded form. So, for example, when the computers read the signals coming from the monkeys' brains and make a prediction, belief in the code of codes influences how we interpret that event. Instead of interpreting the prediction as what it is — a statement about the neural process leading to the monkeys' actions — we extrapolate about a supposed future as if it were already written down, and all we were doing was reading it. To my mind the philosopher who gave the most complete answer to this question was Immanuel Kant. In Kant's view, the main mistake philosophers before him had made when considering how humans could have accurate knowledge of the world was to forget the necessary difference between our knowledge and the actual subject of that knowledge. At first glance, this may not seem like a very easy thing to forget; for example, what our eyes tell us about a rainbow and what that rainbow actually is are quite different things. Kant argued that our failure to grasp this difference was further reaching and had greater consequences than anyone could have thought. Taking again the example of the rainbow, Kant would argue that while most people would grant the difference between the range of colors our eyes perceive and the refraction of light that causes this optical phenomenon, they would still maintain that more careful observation could indeed bring one to know the rainbow as it is in itself, apart from its sensible manifestation. This commonplace understanding, he argued, was at the root of our tendency to fall profoundly into error, not only about the nature of the world, but about what we were justified in believing about ourselves, God, and our duty to others. The problem was that while our senses can only ever bring us verifiable knowledge about how the world appears in time and space, our reason always strives to know more than appearances can show it. This tendency of reason to always know more is and was a good thing. It is why human kind is always curious, always progressing to greater and greater knowledge and accomplishments. But if not tempered by a respect for its limits and an understanding of its innate tendencies to overreach, reason can lead us into error and fanaticism. Let's return to the example of the experiment predicting the monkeys' decisions. What the experiment tells us is nothing other than that the monkeys' decision making process moves through the brain, and that our technology allows us to get a reading of that activity faster than the monkeys' brain can put it into action. From that relatively simple outcome, we can now see what an unjustified series of rather major conundrums we had drawn. And the reason we drew them was because we unquestioningly translated something unknowable — the stretch of time including the future of the monkeys' as of yet undecided and unperformed actions — into a neat scene that just needed to be decoded in order to be experienced. We treated the future as if it had already happened and hence as a series of events that could be read and narrated. From a Kantian perspective, with this simple act we allowed reason to override its boundaries, and as a result we fell into error. The error we fell into was, specifically, to believe that our empirical exploration of the world and of the human brain could ever eradicate human freedom. This, then, is why, as "irresistible" as their logic might appear, none of the versions of Galen Strawson's "Basic Argument" for determinism, which he outlined in The Stone last week, have any relevance for human freedom or responsibility. According to this logic, responsibility must be illusory, because in order to be responsible at any given time an agent must also be responsible for how he or she became how he or she is at that time, which initiates an infinite regress, because at no point can an individual be responsible for all the genetic and cultural forces that have produced him or her as he or she is. But this logic is nothing other than a philosophical version of the code of codes; it assumes that the sum history of forces determining an individual exist as a kind of potentially legible catalog. The point to stress, however, is that this catalog is not even legible in theory, for to be known it assumes a kind of knower unconstrained by time and space, a knower who could be present from every possible perspective at every possible deciding moment in an agent's history and prehistory. Such a knower, of course, could only be something along the lines of what the monotheistic traditions call God. But as Kant made clear, it makes no sense to think in terms of ethics, or responsibility, or freedom when talking about God; to make ethical choices, to be responsible for them, to be free to choose poorly, all of these require precisely the kind of being who is constrained by the minimal opacity that defines our kind of knowing. As much as we owe the nature of our current existence to the evolutionary forces Darwin first discovered, or to the cultures we grow up in, or to the chemical states affecting our brain processes at any given moment, none of this impacts on our freedom. I am free because neither science nor religion can ever tell me, with certainty, what my future will be and what I should do about it. The dictum from Sartre that Strawson quoted thus gets it exactly right: I am condemned to freedom. I am not free because I can make choices, but because I must make them, all the time, even when I think I have no choice to make. William Egginton William Egginton is the Andrew W.

Flawed premise. The fact that there is a lag time between when you consciously (or subconsciously) decide to do something and actually do it has been well known for years. The existence of a device that can interpret that (sub)conscious decision before it is represented by action does not disqualify the agency of the decision-maker. Agency is the ability to control one's actions--power over oneself, so to speak. Such a device does not assume control of that which it is observing.
I agree with the second half of the article. If those two researchers genuinely posited determinism based on this evidence, they very seriously embarrassed themselves. |
Excellent find Anonymouse. Thanks for sharing. I wish there were more philosophical discussion in TP.
This got me thinking- If a machine can be created to detect brain signals and interpret them faster than the subject can act on them, perhaps it is feasible to construct a machine that intercepts these signals and modifies them, or flat out rejects the original signal and inserts an artificial one. The implication would be artificial determinism (mind control). If ones religious belief is that humans and their behavior have developed out of a natural process (evolution, etc), then it must also be true that anything created by humans is a natural consequence of these circumstances. In other words, there is no such thing as artificial, but only natural. Assuming all of the previous (everything is natural and nothing is artificial), if a machine is created that intercepts brain signals and inserts predetermined ones, then we can consider this a natural process of determinism. Consider now that nothing distinguishes the machine from any other seemingly random event, process, or circumstance that has influence over our "decisions". After all, genetics, culture, experience, etc all are natural processes and may now be lumped into the same category as the "machine of determination". We can consider all of the other natural influences to be "machines of determination". The implication is that free will is illusory, and furthermore morals and accountability are also illusory. A person absent of free will cannot be a moral agent. Should a person without free will be held accountable for their actions? Of course they should. Punishment and reward are "primitive machines of influence" used to shape actions and behavior. This begs the question- If machines of the future are able to control behavior with certainty, is it ethical to use them? Consider a machine that eliminates rape behavior. Certainly this sounds like a good idea, but where do we draw the line? Should a machine be used that eliminates over-eating, recreational drug use, etc? Is it the inevitable progression of humanity to become more robot like, just as ants in a colony?
Would you also prefer that only 1 option be available as an answer to the question "Is light a particle or a wave"? Give me absolute safety or give me death!
If it can be determined that our natural processes are controlled by some third party, then I would agree with you. However, the fact that our natural processes formulate thoughts which manipulate our actions does not violate agency since those natural processes are controlled by that to which agency might be said to apply--therefore their formulation of thought is a function of agency. To say otherwise is to essentially say, "We think. Therefore we lack agency."
Consequentialism vs. Predestination Now, another thing: there's no guarantee the human brain isn't one such random thing. Not just the brain, but life as we know it. Are there specific physical criteria required for mutations to take place at birth? This and loads more questions pop up when we posit the theory of predestination (in a physical sense, mind), and they are all quite well represented by another very good question: How's old Schrodinger's cat doing these days? (For those who don't know, Schrodinger's Cat is a well-known paradox that gives a very basic illustration of quantum physics. In varying forms, it posits that a cat placed inside a windowless radioactive containment cell along with a sample of a radioactive isotope with a half-life that decays at a rate of one molecule per hour into either a lethal gas or nitrogen will be, after one hour of sitting unobserved inside the box, be either both dead and alive simultaneously or neither dead nor alive simultaneously. In theory, the cat's form is physically fixed when it is observed and not before; the form itself is quite randomly selected between the two. This means that, according to quantum theory, if identical copies of a single quantum construction were all observed in the same time in the same place under the same conditions across several different dimensions of time, they would appear to take different, truly randomized forms. I don't know if the theory has ever been proven true, nor do I know how "observation" is defined in this context. It's an interesting theory, though.) |
Quantum mechanics and Schrodinger's cat usually comes up in these debates. Is the cat dead or alive? We don't know..but all quantum mechanics says is that we can't be certain..It deals with ignorance and uncertainty. Lacking knowledge about any particular outcome beforehand does not necessarily mean the final result was "random" and could have turned out otherwise. It just means it was unknown.
If the state of the quantum realm is just another part of this universe, it seems the results of any experiment you do will also be determined by the same causal factors. ..of course, I could be wrong. Last edited by Libertarian; 07-27-2010 at 03:27 PM.. |
My argument for determinism is flawed in that it assumes determinism from the very beginning of the universe to prove determinism in human behavior. I'm basically using the idea to prove the idea. Since you have seen The Matrix and have considered these concepts, do you believe humanity will inevitably seek to restrict "free-will"? Do you believe this is a good or bad thing? As an example, and given our limited technological ability, most of the laws that are passed are restrictions on behavior, not additions to free-will. Most topics are a discussion on how to prevent unwanted outcomes in the future. Certainly a device to control behavior is something that would be considered if such a thing existed. We already subject some people to chemical castration to physically limit behavior.
Because neither concept (free-will/determinism) appears to hold up to our limited understanding, I assume they co-exist and come into play depending on the method in which an event is being evaluated. This is similar to lights wave/particle duality. |

You are right to say that certain conclusions should be drawn based on our observations, but so far my observation is that every action has had a cause. If I apply that understanding to the Big Bang, I am forced to conceive of a Big Cause. |
This is not to say that the emergent sum of those parts is, by necessity, completely unpredictable: it is certainly far less predictable than our current or foreseeable technology can understand, though, and it offers a plausible and scientific outlet for theories that posit the existence of free will. |
