Favorite Line(s): | |
And the sign said, “Everybody welcome. |
|
Come in, kneel down and pray” |
|
But when they passed around the plate |
|
At the end of it all, |
|
I didn’t have a penny to pay |
|
So I got me a pen and a paper |
|
And I made up my own little sign |
|
I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ’bout me. |
|
I’m alive and doin’ fine.” | |

Facing The Headwinds

We all live in the same house, we all must be part of the effort to hold down our little house. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just… do something about it. Say something. Have the courage. Have the backbone. Get in the way. Walk with the wind. It’s all going to work out. | |

But That’s Certainly Irrational
Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, Science and Learning, tagged Carl Sagan, Cosmos, Dodecahedron, Irrational Numbers, Philosophy, Polygons, Pythagoreans, Quotes, Regular Solids, Science on February 23, 2021| Leave a Comment »
There can be an infinite number of polygons, but only five regular solids. Four of the solids were associated with earth, fire, air and water. The cube for example represented earth. These four elements, they thought, make up terrestrial matter. So the fifth solid they mystically associated with the Cosmos. Perhaps it was the substance of the heavens. This fifth solid was called the dodecahedron. Its faces are pentagons, twelve of them. Knowledge of the dodecahedron was considered too dangerous for the public. Ordinary people were to be kept ignorant of the dodecahedron. In love with whole numbers, the Pythagoreans believed that all things could be derived from them. Certainly all other numbers. | |
So a crisis in doctrine occurred when they discovered that the square root of two was irrational. That is: the square root of two could not be represented as the ratio of two whole numbers, no matter how big they were. “Irrational” originally meant only that. That you can’t express a number as a ratio. But for the Pythagoreans it came to mean something else, something threatening, a hint that their world view might not make sense, the other meaning of “irrational”. | |

Favorite Line(s): | |
Precious memories keep a lingering on | |
Every time I hear our favorite song | |
Now you’re gone, left this emptiness | |
I only reminisce the happiness we spent | |
We used to dance to the music | |
Make romance through the music | |
Now it’s the same old song | |
But with a different meaning | |
Since you been gone | |

He who learns to play music in his eightieth year will play at the resurrection. | |

[About a month ago I convinced my wife to let me buy a guitar (Orangewood acoustic dreadnought: Austen (model) for $195). I’m playing it almost every day for 10 minutes to an hour. Most days about 40 minutes. It’s coming along slowly, slowly, but I’m enjoying it. I’m just watching videos on YouTube and then going off to practice… — KMAB] | |
