Ethics of Aristotle (387-321 B.C.)


Running and inline-skating with university level audio lectures may not be everybody’s thing but it gives me a sharp edge I discovered.
Professor Koterski: The rewards of studying Aristotle come not only from mastering the substance of what he teaches but from learning to analyze, apply, and even criticize his very method of reasoning itself. It's not just about what to think; it's about how to think.
A salesman of Moroccan descend quickly moved into a plea about the good in Islam providing answers in everyday’s live, like; death of beloved ones, children born with disabilities etc.
All these answers you can find in a mathematical study I replied. Chaos theory - big bang - evolution of earth live / Darwin - Newton’s laws - Einstein’s relativity – quantum mechanics; put it together with the logic of old Greece. Men’s creation out of science view is the only story worth telling, as this truth is still challenged everyday by the brightest people. Death and disability is part of the evolution in an enormous expanding universe while striving for rest. Life after death is an option with relativity and quantum mechanics. Ethics of Aristotle is more logic and makes more sense than religious groups advocating for their purposes. The Greek mythology of the beginning of live beats the Bible + Koran by a mere twenty thousand fold. Muslims branched away from Christianity to conquer all earth by sword and not with words. The epitamy of hypocrisy is a horrendous attitude against an enormous existing prostitution and homosexuality in Islamic countries. Religious frenzy alone is inadequate to attain human well being. It’s a bit like Microsoft, Macintosh and Linux as open source.

It took some time to renew the website but I made myself famliar with two great books during the process:

Buying the vidcam took me two days.

When I saw the camera I was shopping for a new watercooker.
The price for an all digital vidcam was extremely sharp so I checked the internet.
The vidcam is an older model and 3 years ago, it used very expensive cf-cards. Meanwhile cf and sd dropped a tenfold in price, adding speed + buffering, while the technicalities of the vidcam were very much the same as the newer JVC models.
Add two new Li-Ion battery packs with a net/car- loader as extra and the bargain is complete. I suspect the Chinese batteries from Friesland may explode during charging and extra charger might be convenient on trips.

See the first movies.
