Never be so dumb to follow a bike lane 
  We've got dozens of them, but none are connected. You may think it would get you through and find out that you are stuck with no particular place to go, a sidewalk perhaps if you are lucky. They are the product of "evil idiocy," to quote someone who was describing driver behavior. This type of idiocy though is the design of the... more »

bioenergetics 
  Have there yet been any studies which have used modern physics to demonstrate the existence of chi/ki/prana (bioenergetics) and/or chakras, meridians and auras? -- David Dalton dal...@nfld.com [link] (home page) [link] Newfoundland&Labrador Travel & Music... more »

Is Wall Street evil? 
  ... "Is Wall Street evil or what?" It is said that the job of the philosopher is not to provide the answers but to ask the right questions. And this is because "evil" is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. I, for example, find Wall Street evil, but doesn't mean they are. That's just my humble opinion. I... more »

dao and science 
  dao chang wu wei dao chang wu ming Somewhere in the DDJ those two phrases appear. If wu wei means without intent and if wu ming means without name then it gets me to wondering about science. Doing experiments is intentional. Developing theories is naming. Replicating what is spontaneous... more »

Deepockets Chopra 
  I think Deepockets Chopra is a brilliant man. His books are so insightful for a Hindu with black horned-rim glasses and a cleft in his chin. He looks like an intellectual but just comes across as a nice, smiling, all-talk-no-action guy. I admire a guy like him for not being bashful about being enterprising... more »

  All the more reason to ride one. It works like this: You won't take a loan to buy a bicycle. You won't feed Big Oil. You won't feed the Insurance Industry. You'll be healthier, so you won't feed the Medical Industry. You'll be an elusive target for lawyers and police that aim at drivers. They won't nail you for DUI as easily. In other words,... more »
