Alex: I completely agree that we all wear masks, and you don't scare me anymore.
Sweet! To be honest... Your "dr" title un-nerves me
Yeah, the "dr" thing is kind of a blessing and a curse. Just think of it as another kind of mask.
Good call.
Path of one: Thanks, and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here, too!
A google of authorship. Both nailed all their conclusions to the cross of their preconceptions before they carried out any study. We discussed the study in another thread here, sorry I cannot recall its name (though maybe one of our memory genuises around here will remember it?). It is a good example for a discussion and I would not suggest you pull it. I'm not about censorship just about expressing my own flippant opinionTao Equus: Thank you! And don't worry -- I'm married to a non-believer and I often seek his non-biased seal of approval before posting anything. I just asked him no more than 30 minutes ago to read over a PURELY New Age article that would make any non-believer squirm with discomfort (don't read it) and I just wanted to be sure that my husband wouldn't think that anyone would find it offensive. Regarding the neurology study, I know a fair amount about statistics and research methodology, psychology, philosophy, and cardiology, but neurology isn't my area so I figured I'd just defer to the good doc who was the primary author of the research.
I come from a tiny country that has two of the oldest, most esteemed universities, Edinburgh and St Andrews, in the western hemisphere. The universities that spawned many greats including Darwin, Hume, Carnegie, Adam Smith, Telford and so many more of those that contributed to and are responsible for the state of our ongoing technological, philosophical and political evolution. Here universities have long won the battle to innovate
I know there are some very dubious universities in the US that try to thieve scientific credibility. Fortunately we do not have them here.I do not think the productivity of the Scottish universities stood alone and island like but in a country that's never had a population exceeding that of an average European capital it has contributed disproportionately much to the human endeavour. I think it is something in the culture here. The droll sceptical cynicism that cuts to the truth of anything it is applied to. I think that has been of immense aid to critical academia. Scotland also excels in the arts too. Even today there are the likes of Danny Boyle, Jack Vetriano, J K Rowling, Ewan McGreggor and more all at the top of the game.Huh, I thought you meant Oxford and Cambridge but yeah, I suppose you've got them as well.

rest assured my myopic nationalism has no supremacist nor isolationist bent. And my apologies for Gordon Brown.Lmao, trust you to highlight thatjust to set the record straight aberdeen uni [1495] is actually older than edinburgh[1582], but yeh together with glasgow [1451]and st andrews [1413] scotland was within the vortex of the enlightenment [due l have to say to catholic connections
but though they may of had catholic beginings, its not where they have reached.
