Box o' thoughts
On Military Service

"Until the millennium arises and countries cease trying to enslave others, it will be necessary to accept one's responsibility and to be willing to make sacrifices for one's country---as my comrades did. As the troops used to say 'if the country is good enough to live in, it's good enough to fight for.' With privilege comes responsibility. "

With the Old Breed 2007 - E.B. Sledge



Mental Discipline

"The force of the temptation which urges us to seek for such evidence and appearances as are in favour of our desires, and to disregard those which oppose them, is wonderfully great. In this respect we are all, more or less, active promoters of error. In place of practising wholesome self-abnegation, we ever make the wish the father to the thought: we receive as friendly that which agrees with, we resist with dislike that which opposes us; whereas the very reverse is required by every dictate of common sense."

Experimental researches in chemistry and physics 1859 - Faraday



The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Baloney Detection Kit

"1.Wherever possible there must be independent confirmation of the “facts.”
2.Encourage substantive debate on the evidence by knowledgeable proponents of all points of view.
3.Arguments from authority carry little weight — “authorities” have made mistakes in the past. They will do so again in the future. Perhaps a better way to say it is that in science there are no authorities; at most, there are experts.
4.Spin more than one hypothesis. If there’s something to be explained, think of all the different ways in which it could be explained. Then think of tests by which you might systematically disprove each of the alternatives. What survives, the hypothesis that resists disproof in this Darwinian selection among “multiple working hypotheses,” has a much better chance of being the right answer than if you had simply run with the first idea that caught your fancy.
5.Try not to get overly attached to a hypothesis just because it’s yours. It’s only a way station in the pursuit of knowledge. Ask yourself why you like the idea. Compare it fairly with the alternatives. See if you can find reasons for rejecting it. If you don’t, others will.
6.Quantify. If whatever it is you’re explaining has some measure, some numerical quantity attached to it, you’ll be much better able to discriminate among competing hypotheses. What is vague and qualitative is open to many explanations. Of course there are truths to be sought in the many qualitative issues we are obliged to confront, but finding them is more challenging.
7.If there’s a chain of argument, every link in the chain must work (including the premise) — not just most of them.
8.Occam’s Razor. This convenient rule-of-thumb urges us when faced with two hypotheses that explain the data equally well to choose the simpler.
9.Always ask whether the hypothesis can be, at least in principle, falsified. Propositions that are untestable, unfalsifiable are not worth much. Consider the grand idea that our Universe and everything in it is just an elementary particle — an electron, say — in a much bigger Cosmos. But if we can never acquire information from outside our Universe, is not the idea incapable of disproof? You must be able to check assertions out. Inveterate skeptics must be given the chance to follow your reasoning, to duplicate your experiments and see if they get the same result."

Hi mate!!! I like to ask about Combat Mission Shock Force 2: Is a resolution UHD possible? Can you recommend this simulation?
