      He says these negative cultural elements are to blame. I don't disagree, but this can be found an any kind of poverty stricken people. The race doesn't matter just the wealth

      The remodeling the park was a good idea. The way to beat the gang problem was spot on. They got rid of their privacy, therefor the gang members left because they had to privacy. This would not work in all areas. A gang filled area might just over take the new park, because the people who live there priorities are different.

      our healthcare cost more then everyother country because America has a much higher standerd of living. the individual person has more money here. To compare the two is wrong.

Dan Dennett: Dangerous memes | Video on TED.com - 2 views

    • Phillip Delgado
       
      A meme is only dangerous because another meme told us. In his philosophy we as humans don't have independent thoughts but they are moldered together through life and experience. This is just a simple idea of norms and values.

President Obama's Executive Power Grab - Newsweek and The Daily Beast - 3 views

      Obama should not be going over congress like this. The point of our checks and balances system is so that no one branch has too much power. I could understand if it was during a time of war but that's not where we are right now. Maybe it is Obama who should compromise.

      I believe that the black noise project would generate different results if done in the United States. I believe culturally the people are attracted to different things. Women dressed more provocatively will have a much higher change of being sexually harassed. In India women wouldn't normally dress like that

Patternicity: Finding Meaningful Patterns in Meaningless Noise: Scientific American - 7 views

      i beleive that type II error, or a false negative would only make sense if the person had a mental disability. A lot of people who believe in things like UFOs known deep down that they are false. These people choose to not recognize real patterns, and by doing this in turn they are recognizing them.

      liberty is only liberty. Liberty can lead to other thins like equality or human happiness, but that's not its definition. Just because there is no fairness or justice does not mean there is no liberty.

      All though the thirty eight year old woman has a great chance of having a healthy baby, a hundred years ago she most likely wouldn't have survived. It is amazing what modern medicine can do.
