In one of Carlyle's earliest productions, dealing with the philosophy of Clothes, ( Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh ) he showed that a mankind quite plainly reveals its inner self by what they wears. So we would now discuss what mankind, reveals by the eternal question, "How?"

"Why?" may be nothing but a adverbial question - of curiosity, and hence its idea may be suggested to an inquisitive monkey. But it is not so with the question, "How?" "Why?" may be answered by an affirmation, but "How?" can be answered only by a demonstration. Now, as our object is to call speech to witness as to what is in mankind - what man is himself - analyze the testimony of this adverb "How?"

Account for the facts with a detective system. People are continually saying that they will not believe in a thing till they can see it, thus pinning their faith to the testimony and to the one sense, which makes more mistakes, than do all our other senses put together. There is a vast microscopic living world which lies within six inches of the eyeball. Every human personality belongs to the real world, the world of the Unseen, and cannot be known except as they choose to reveal themselfs.

We have two brains, just as we have two eyes and two ears, but only one of our two brain hemispheres is the instrument for knowing, thinking or talking. "How?" naturally belongs to the universe. Why?" you can answer as you please, but not "How?" Any education is simply learning 'how'. We are machines which must go as they are made to go. There is no right nor wrong in human conduct, for machines cannot be held responsible for conduct or the way they go — there can be no sinful automobile or wicked windmill. Man ( as machine ) is an infinite creator.¹

Machines create work and cause stress. Creating work is the order of the times. “How to create a new department in a conglomerate such as fashion” is one question. University is government bound; so they should be trained to create the work for the job searching college grad. Daily Physical Inventory, as a management function, could be the answer or maybe developing a computer widget?  "How" is psychology in use.

This discussion is in reference to the general concept of a human thinking with a brain.  The author manages to reveal the core, keeping to the thesis and properly achieving the purpose of the book - to inform about the question of 'How'.

     It seems that polished rice effects chickens in much the same way it might humans with * beriberi. Switching to unpolished rice with hulls, returns health & vitality. Christiaan Eijkman and Frederick G. Hopkins went further and received a Nobel Prize for investigating dietary protein. He discovered that without the milk protein tryptophan in their diet, laboratory rats died. His nutritional research led to the paper, “The Practical Importance of Vitamins”.

* Beriberi is a nervous system ailment caused by a deficiency of thiamin (vitamin B1) in the diet. Thiamin is involved in the breakdown of energy molecules such as glucose and is also found on the membranes of neurons. Symptoms of beriberi include severe lethargy and fatigue, together with complications affecting the cardiovascular, nervous, muscular, and gastrointestinal systems. ( source: Wikipedia )

 The person responsible for the content of the show, as it appears on the screen, is the director. The Director has absolute control over actor's performances, cinematic techniques, credibility and dramatic effects of production. The Director, usually using only one camera, chooses the location, finds action with the actor or actresses, activates action and announces cut. The camera operator finds the shoot with the camera operator, determines the actions and marks of actors, actor's eye-trace, frames the shoot, and with sound finds the microphone position outside the range of frame, lights the shot, focuses on the eyes and announces rolling of film. The extra slates the take number, in fromt of the camera operator, at point of “rolling”. With modern film editing, the camera just has to keep shooting - computer editing with an Apple Computer & Final Cut Pro software, will improve on mistakes and quality.                   

Portable camcorder costs are low ( under $200 )  with the new pocket Flip Ultra. Editing is done on computer. I was up on YouTube within a few minutes after shooting - no pan jolts, clean crisp picture, high quality. A web-cam allows the amateur studio to be anywhere there is a USB connection and internet. A portable 320GB HDD Hard Drive from Western Digital with a USB cable ( cost around $80 ) can also be bought, direct from the manufdacturer, without shipping charges - off ebay.

 Influences to my personality are numerous. My environment permits me to remain healthy and normal. If  I disagree with a reality, I can escape as easily as getting onto a bus, train or plane. I face reality with a smile. I can overcome any obstacle that confronts me. With a sense of humor, I can see my own shortcomings and because of change, adjust to the a correction. I recognize room for improvements. I try to understand the reason and eliminate it. I see and fix my own without being too critical of the other person's faults. I consider dissatisfaction important if it leads to a constructive mental attitude in correcting the fault. The failure teaches me something. The mistakes of the past become the assets of the future. I keep an open mind always looking for something new, interesting and exciting both in the material world and the concept of new ideas development. I keep my mind plastic - avoiding the rut of regress. I realize that there is no such thing as the “ultimate truth” or “absolute knowledge” just meaningless abstractions or phrases. Everything is relative. Things are forever changing - not standing still. My point of contact with reality is expanding and multiplying - as it should.. I need to focus.

Porn websites have affected many levels of society.  Its presence on the internet has placed questions in the minds of many about morals and ethics.  The concept of pornography is a graphic description of sexual acts described since mankind became a sexual creature.  Some of the so-called high-minded people, who profess to be intelligent are genuinely ignorant of other people's personalities when looking for the source of pornographic literature.  Writings branded as pornographic are stipulated healthy.  When women use vulgar words to substantiate their social control, such words, learned at an early age, help to close the gap the imagination is reluctant to manage.  The language they adopt should not be regarded as obscene because of the words employed.  Pornography (defined as writing about prostitutes) is in the mind of the reader.  Pornography is viewed as the dark side of sex because of prostitution.  Prostitutes share their transmittable disease with anyone who pays for it. 

Society's response to the abuse, caused by pornography is rationalized with education, overcoming the majority of needless horrors.  Homosexuality after marriage is unfortunate.  People have to go through so much hell to learn the truth.  They should give the marriage up as a mistake and live their life according to their nature. Did you know there are over one hundred ( 100 ) sexual positions?

      In Existentialism, “god almighty” is referred to as an infinite being. In this vast universe, we look in the face of so much we are ignorant. Any situation incapable of solution, warrants infinitesimal man for his silly arrogance. Insignificant mankind is but a mere speck in a vast universe. In the affairs of mankind, every person is of importance to each other. This opinion comes from the social point of view of saving a person's world with First Aid and Cardio-Pulmonary-Resuscitation (CPR) training. We are what and how we think and breathe – naturally existential. I exist – why can't they?

     What is the concept of an instinct?  In animals it is an automatic and unconscious reflex. Humans, when young, start with instincts as a basis for future intelligence. They last for a lifetime. Primary instincts number anywhere from three to twelve. Preservation of individual and race is primary within the collective, ego and sex instincts.

     The sex instinct on this world is the force reigning supreme. The sex instinct shows psychic tensions create and disturb the acquisition of poise and grace conducive to the development of a pleasing personality. The prime directive of laissez-faire is to refrain from any control, analyze observation & use common-sense between right & wrong, good and bad. On one hand, sex education should not be forced on the child. The child should be left to learn gradually to absorb. On the other hand, curiosity and satisfaction should also be directed to achieve an acceptable foundation of personality (i.e. kissing methods and defensive actions against). Subliminal mental energy misdirected into non-useful channels cannot fail to leave its mark on the total personality

     The ego instinct is the instinct of self-preservation involving impulses of anger, construc-tiveness, disgust, fear or apprehension, love of possession and wonderment - assisting the normal child to understand. The lion of society lies down beside the lamb of personal urges - or vis a vis. Desires for happiness, living to the full, excelling in the arts, business and sciences – all sublimate into numerous and socially, highly desirable channels or ethical points of view. Conflicts point to arrogance, overweening extravagance, self-centered and unpleasant personalities which could induce a privative condition. To train the trainer or parent - they need direction. Parents need to recognize the individuality and independence of the child at the point of umbilical-cord separation.

     The collective instinct is the persistent desire to belong to a group or class of intellect. The best contribution is not a sameness and repetition of personalities. Certain obligations (chores) and basic social requirements (etiquette) must be addressed. As an individual unit of society, advances in new and original directions need to be investigated. Examples, experiment and thinking for oneself and competing to higher levels of achievement. We therefore presume that desires are suggested and dictated by a sense of discrimination, with values implanted through the exercise of the intellect to achieve 100% perfection.

     Listening to the radio for my favorite song and I noticed that the station did not give credit to the singer of the tune. I thought that was weird because, what if the listener liked the music and wanted to buy it? How are they going to tell the store anything. Maybe they can hum a few lines or say the keywords from the chorus? The music shops have tons of reference material on every aspect of any song. They want the artist or title of the song or they can't really help. How am I going to tell the clerk?

     In school I was taught that if I quote someone, then we must mention the source of the entry or be accused of plagiarism and get a nasty, crusty zero grade! OK, I guess, but why doesn't that carry over to the music media? Is the radio station saying in effect, the artist didn't pay for the privilege of identification. They played the song. Maybe the radio station has the broadcasting rights to the song and doesn't have to say who or what the listener just heard. I dunno, but if they had of said who and what the song was then maybe I would of gone out to the record store and purchased the album.

     Maybe, like the radio station, the information should be automated to complement the artist, label and listener. That would create work. Imagine, an electronic sweat-shop full of operators typing information for music identification. It would follow the tune on the public broadcasting services of the radio? Who would pay for this service? The record labels? The radio? If accused of plagiarism, then I'll bet you dollars to donuts that they would seek the service out. Top dollar they would pay. Cheaper than a load of plagiarism law suits. Something to think about the next time you hear a tune you like. Just an opinion, for what it's worth.

Note: Now, I listen to Giant FM in Niagara @ 91.7. They advertise only ten minutes of commercials with fifty minutes of music. Now, I know who sang that.
