That's just a euphemism.

Dear Comrades: Do you love "Xi-Jin-Ping Thought" as much as I do? AND... Do you believe in and LOVE the The Marxist-Leninist China as much as XI? Or, have you decided to NOT return to China before Xi is finally a-moldering? Have ONLY good things happened to you under Xi, as a tourist or expat in China? Or, as the years of XI dragged on, did you become slightly less enamored with XI's Great Vision? Your thoughts, please, because I love China, especially the food and the girls dressed up in their Mao Jackets. I want to get back to China...as soon as possible. And get me some more of those Ants Climbing Trees! I MISS China, BIG TIME! No doubt, so do you. But...HOW MUCH? Your Ching-ching China Man, Gamma

Several years ago, I lived closer to the mountain, and I would do winds sprints, 20 to 30, up and down a fairly long section of the steeper inclines. But then, I moved away from that more hilly terrain, and I miss that great free gym of mine. These days, I am thinking I might need to build my own hill of sand in my back garden. I would need only a few truckloads of sand, and then I would be good to go. How much might a 100 tons of sand cost in Chiang Mai? (Delivery Costs?) Here is what I am talking about, and this is about the most effective exercise I know: One thing though: I now have the "Front Yard" for this. All I need is a few truckloads of sand. And, no need to cut the glass! What do you guys think? Would this be a good money-maker for me, on the side? I could charge the locals for the privilege of climbing my neighborhood hill of sand.

Some sense is better than COMPLETE NONSENSE.

Those forums only talk ABOUT passa Thai... Therefore, useless.

All you guys seem in great shape at ages between about 65 and 75. That's great. That's important, too, and not just for longevity considerations. I would like to get into better shape. But I find it too boring. I would find it far less boring if I could find a woman (40-yo) to exercise with me. How much would it cost to rent a housewife, or something; but only one physically fit and interested in exercise? Or, are there any female trainers in my area, I wonder? What would be the going rate? Twice a week, 50 minutes per session might be enough. If I do not begin exercising again, I shall surely reach a point of no return, fairly quickly, because I can already feel it in my bones.

Yes. I wish I could go back. Way back. Back to before I was born. I would put an end to it before it began. Really, it all depends upon one's point of view, and whether or not one believes in an afterlife. If everything stops at the point of one's death, then it is exactly as if one had never existed. But now it's too late, once one is here, and the only option is to go forward... Forward, forward, into that good night...

It says in the linked article that the Digital Nomads are polyamorous. Tourists have always reminded me of sewer rats scurrying around. And so, if these tourists and digital nomads are polyamorous, Then they probably are breeding like rats, too. Soon the world will be overrun with this vermin. This is why I never go out (or rarely). Concerning the nudity, I never wear clothes in my house. I find clothing too restricting while I am typing.... Usually I type with my hands, because hands are faster. But sometimes, I don't.

Does he speak passa Thai, do you think? He seems to be suffering a devastating case of alienation. Maybe his topics are born out of culture shock and desperation.

Well then: Both Chomsky and Pinker argue that language is the product of some encoded genetic component or mutation without which language would not be possible. The alternative hypothesis to this would be that there is no genetically encoded "language instinct" and that language acquisition is simply a product of culture, and that language acquisition occurs in children solely as a result of learning through trial and error. Do you have any thoughts concerning which hypothesis might be correct? And why?

Well, sure... We can talk about a different intelligent person if you wish. What about Steven Pinker? But then we might need to start a new Topic, because this topic is about Chomsky... (Please Note: I was at the University of McGill at the same time Pinker was there as an undergrad. But I never met the guy. Still, we can talk about him if you wish.)

When people think of Chomsky and Linguistics, they often first think of his work, "Syntactic Structures" published in 1957... Since that time, Chomsky has said that he disagrees with "some" of what he wrote. I happen to have a full copy of Syntactic Structures on my SSD, and will post it here in case anyone is interested in seeing what it looks like. It starts out, simple as pie, but then quickly gets into the meat of the issue, and is far tougher going for those that choose to read the whole thing... Enjoy!

If you spend time listening to Chomsky's views about the Origin of Language, he seems to be saying that language evolved FIRST from some "internal conversation" humans had, some form of language that humans had which was not actually vocalized, ie something like sub-vocalizations which then evolved into an "external" spoken language that could be used for communication. Who's to say if this might be farfetched. He gave a nice talk about this at Google one year, and here is another video where he talks about the origins of language: Please feel free to search Google Talks for a more thorough presentation by Noam..

I will be sad, very sad, if I should outlive Chomsky. Why would I want to live in a world without Noam? I have heard people say that Chomsky has been wrong when he, according to these pundits, did not come out harshly enough against certain acts of terror, as well as voicing other similar criticisms. But these people are completely mistaken. Chomsky never condoned violence or terrorism, for example. This is an intentional twisting of what Chomsky stated. Many don't like Chomsky because he tries to use the same "yardstick" when analyzing US Gov behavior and when comparing this behavior to the behavior of other "states". It's fine for anyone to criticize Chomsky, as long as they do not intentionally warp his words, or misrepresent his arguments, which happens all too often. But then, when you REALLY go back to what he has stated, you see that there is very little to object to, and that he did not say what his detractors say he said. Some guys just like to spout nonsense about Chomsky. The reasons why are obvious.

Or, the return of Don Rickles? Unfortunately, This world has seen the last of HIM. And, maybe a good thing too if he is not your cup of tea. Was there ever a remark too cutting for the likes of Rickles? Humor must now always be PC. Which, in fact, is no longer humorous. We are living in the age of the blahs...

I don't give a fuuk. I love BECK. NOBODY comes close.

Even when I open the refrigerator... When I have ALL 10 speakers up to max... The refrigerator door is vibrating so that you can feel it with your hand. Love it. I don't know how many watts, total,

I don't know how many DECIBELS I got, at the moment. When I put my hand on the walls, the desk, ANYTHING... I can feel the vibration of Beck... It's like he is still here.... (Very LOUD, now! Psycho Sam.)

BENCHWORK BENCHWORK Will we never hear the end of your BENCHWORK?

PSYCHO SAM... I am, at the moment... ABSOLUTELY BLASTING THIS.... The three mice on my desk are JUMPING.... BECK is so amazing....

You are joking, right...? You are so old that you don't know NOTHING about genetics, nor how genes are turned on, or off. All you care about, these days, is your next pedicure. How can you even call yourself a scientist? Almost everything you say sticks in my craw.

Completely agree.

Noam has deteriorated. So have we all. Except you, apparently.

I will NEVER be on his level. And, neither will you....

You know.... Sometimes, when I listen to Jeff Beck... I just wish I could go back to the days when... I could HUMP my GF, for two HOURS, Non-Stop... Up and Down. Up and Down... Nothing better than pussy.... For sure. Get it while you can. And.... As MUCH as you can... Fk Yourself Crazy while you are young... Youth lasts only so long.... Anytime you see a <deleted>, anywhere, then just shove it in... Feels so good. Do it while you are young!
