Consider this program:
static void Main(string[] args)
( // <--- The error. An open parenthesis instead of an open curly brace.
int fred;
int bill;
fred = 1;
}
Description File Line Column
; expected Program.cs 7 38
Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration Program.cs 8 7
Invalid token '=' in class, struct, or interface member declaration Program.cs 12 15
Type or namespace definition, or end-of-file expected Program.cs 15 1
There were four syntax errors in this program according to the compiler however careful examination of the code reveals only one error.
The second error message in the list: Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration
Tells you the error - the compiler did not expect to see an open parenthesis. If this error is corrected the remaining errors disappear. This is known as snowball errors. 1 error can often snowball and create other errors/erroneous-ness.
The semantics here are not so important of the individual words whats this or that mean. What is important here is the argument style, it can be annoying(creates a lot of static in the system-highly inefficient) when people do not correct their first error when speaking to me typing to me, often they do this with a belief, yet go on asif their obvious lie about me or over me or their obvious dubious/spurious fact and or belief is some thing they may stand on or lean on in their argument against something i am saying or doing, usually people do this when they try to re-create or augment the argument often to become about me and/or tangent away from the argument itself too, which shows me they have indeed seen their error and just dont want to admit it, try to admit it, so that u can begin again without compounded errors or realize if u have no argument and save your breath, and perhaps listen to what the other is trying to say? check ur brainwash. was it all just a belief in the end?? dont compound error your entire life.. ? check anterior suppositions and pre suppositions and priori assumptions- because it could lead to a quantum leap or breakthrough understanding.
but i mean just in general. Hey non of us perfect but try to witness yourself when you communicate, as this snowballs your conversation into shits ville.

what good is their understanding doing you, they walk around saying "well i dont understand 'quantum physics' but somewhere someone understands it so i dont have to worry about" this is not a very helpful attitude for preserving the insights of quantum physics.
Inform yourself, what does inform yourself mean? it means A; transcend and mistrust ideaology, an B; go for direct experience the direct data- what do u think when u face the waterfall, what do you think when you have sex, what do u think when u take psilocybin, everything else is unconfirmable rumor, so liberate yourself from the illusion of culture, take responsibility for what you think and what you do.

Reawaken Your Brilliance- with bruce litpon PhD
8. Beliefs are nothing to be proud of.Believing something is not an accomplishment. I grew up thinking that beliefs are something to be proud of, but they’re really nothing but opinions one refuses to reconsider. Beliefs are easy. The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because “strength of belief” is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. As soon as you are proud of a belief, as soon as you think it adds something to who you are, then you’ve made it a part of your ego. Listen to any “die-hard” conservative or liberal talk about their deepest beliefs and you are listening to somebody who will never hear what you say on any matter that matters to them — unless you believe the same. It is gratifying to speak forcefully, it is gratifying to be agreed with, and this high is what the die-hards are chasing. Wherever there is a belief, there is a closed door. Take on the beliefs that stand up to your most honest, humble scrutiny, and never be afraid to lose them.

LOLLLLL
According to a new Gallup poll, a plurality of
Americans—46 percent, to be exact—believe that God made human beings just as
they are today sometime in the last 10,000 years. That number is up from 40
percent in 2011 (which was down from 46 percent in 2006).

How Critical Thinkers Lose Their Faith in God
"Intelligence is the capacity to receive,
decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies, etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission."
Higher intelligence is considered to be synaptic gap entrainment to coded internal significators that select and choose programed education paths that provide optimal energy recovery. Higher emotionalism is the creative acceptance and drawing forth in attractive synthesis unifying arrangements for cohesion and fundamental core energy transmission.

My own opinion is that belief is the death of intelligence. ( cosmic trigger)

As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence.

WE know as a fact that the roman churches burned hundreds of other manuscripts that contradicted of conflicted with their version of Christianity, 99% of the evidence then destroyed an obviously undeniably the sect that had the power of he empire behind it was the one that was able to prevail. this is past efforts of priests and kings... this is now being undermined by the rising tide (ocean) of knowledgeable individuals- the constituency.walk out of your darkness of taught beliefs into sovereign realization you own.
there is no separation between god and me and that we are all branches of the same tree... humanity.(let universal mind flow through your thick brain barriers-beliefs-neural strcutrues)
belief- re occurring thoughts.... stops thinking.

Einstein:
1. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
*thats why i try heeps of things unfettered by societal taboo's.
2. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
3. I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world.
4. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
5. The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive. Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
6. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.
*see everything as the creator... do you lack the ability to see god in the sand beneath your feet ? and wind in you hair ?

IQ can rise or fall significantly during adolescence, brain scans confirm
We found a clear correlation between this change in performance and changes in the structure of their brains and so can say with some certainty that these changes in IQ are real." no shit cant believe some people take the approach that stuff is static
to be analytical is to not allow the brain beliefs to come and block all further motion or thought. your analyzing.. so this imply's you must think a new not a old stored sensed or taught belief brain structure. its funny.. cuz this is all we need to teach the children for them to be analytical (like using the science method) for them to question the things they are taught ( of course im referring to religious christian orthodoxy indoctrination) and they will free themselves and us along with them.

Arcturus is in our milky way galaxy and this is a point which is aligning with a point in the larger neighbor galaxy -Andromeda, this is the Andromedan/Acturian enlightenment. the new light is ultraviolet to indigo purple.
Using fear as the tool for conquering ignorant people, the new age gurus created programs. Some created tantric objects, claiming to ward off evil and earn wealth. The world became a transactional-spiritual mad house. Everything is business. Everything is transactional.Self proclaimed Gurus churned out programs one after the other to ......keep ignorant people busy and maintain the artificial comfort of escapism from the scorching heat of everyday
Life. Mental imageries of enlightenment and liberation kept the mass well established in a fool's paradise.
Number of courses attended became the criteria of spiritual elevation, just like the usual academic supremacy. Unwanted knowledge strengthened ego. It took men further from God. Yet, it extended their vocabulary and social status. So, for some, it was worth it.
Some teachers read all sorts of books and created variety concoctions,suitable for everyone, right from a new born till one in his deathbed!!! Ancient wisdom - made to order!!! Good for all!!! Everyone gets his shot!!! Results guaranteed!!! Enlightenment Guaranteed!! ! Pay more for faster enlightenment!!! Etc. We are indeed existing in a tragic era!!!
in other words, sheeple double thinkers have only merely replaced sets of old dogmas with new dogmas. this is n a new age not only to do with spirituality fooey shit but real spirituality- individuality.. not following
..fools.. :S
OUTside the box think. 1 dimensionalistic beliefs "one right way" etc demolishment

The Straw Man Concept
- Present your draft proposal to the team and tell them that it is a
straw man – This is critical because everyone must clearly understand that
your idea is the starting point and was created for the purpose of being
critiqued.) - Analyze the proposal, find the weak points, clarify assumptions and
decision-making criteria, and work on a refined proposal.
much more scientific appraoch say apposed to religious approach- find idea stick with idea for life never change idea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_thinking
http://www.mindtools.com/pages/main/newMN_CT.htm -creative thinking tools
from "Mainstream Science on Intelligence" (1994), an editorial statement by fifty-two researchers:
A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts. Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings—"catching on," "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do.[5]
WAYS OF THE OLD, THE WAY OF THE NEW Dear Family of Light! The ways of the old
are slowly being washed away. The ways of the old include wanting to know and
control the events and outcomes in our life. The Way of the New is in letting go
and... being within Divine flow, as we listen to the Divine voice inside of us.
The ...ways of the old include consulting others, wishing to be told who we are
by others, mediums, psychics, gurus, etc. and feel urged to read about the
prophecies. The Way of the New is to listen to our inner teacher, to follow our
sacred Heart. The ways of the old include listening to others and believe in the
stories they tell us. The Way of the New is within listening only to our Higher
Self, our own inner guidance of the I AM and knowing we are not our stories. The
ways of the old include a strong need to do, to act, to help and to awake and
save others. The Way of the New is to awake to our own Self, and pave the way
for others to wake up only as wayshowers, the embodiment of Divine Love. The way
of the old is our perception of Human doing, while the Way of the New is feeling
ourselves as a Human Being. The ways of the old are within desire to constantly
know and predict, while the Way of the New is within not knowing, where the Now
moment resides. And we can only truly know and feel, when we are aligned with
the Now, where the Core Essence of our Being resides. The ways of the old are
here to show us when we are disconnected from our Source Truth, while the Way of
the New is here to show us who we truly are, within our eternal Source
connection. The way of the old is to see ourselves as limited by time and the
outer circumstances, while the Way of the New is knowing ourselves as limitless,
timeless, multidimensional and free Beings! Know thyself to know All That Is!
Within Divine Love, Polona Somrake
Arguments, dont just blindly follow:
^1~
1. convert argument into standard form list premises followed by the conclusion
2. test forr strength whether valid or invalid, assume premises to be true, and ask yourself whether conclusion also true when the premises are assumed true, is a counter example argument possible?
3. is argument valid? if yes go to step 4 if no to step 5.
4. is the valid argument also sound? are the premises true in real world
a. ^
b. if argument is valid, BUT one or more premises can be shown to be false, then argument is unsound.
5. is the (INVALID) argument inductive or fallacious?
a. if conclusion would likely be true because the premises are sassumed truethe argument is inductive.
b. if conclusion would not likely be true even when the premises are assumed true the argument is fallacious.
6. Determine whether the premises in your argument are either true or false in the actual world.
7. make overal assesment of argument by determining both (a) the arguments strength of reasoning (valid, inductive or falacious) and (b) the truth conditions of each of the arguments premises.
Remember that an inductive argument with premises that are all true can be stronger than a valid argument with one or more false premises.
Falacy: contrary to what many believe fallcy doe not mean 'false statement' but rather false reasoning. A fallacious argument has false reasoning.
Fallacious fallicies:
Ad hominem argument; Attacking the person instead of the argument. Attack directed at person rather than argument.
Slippery slop argument; "X could possibly be abused, therefore we should not allow X", e.g 'we should not allow computer manufacturers to build in cd burners. If we allow them to do so, young users will burn copies of copy righted music illegally'.
Fallacy of appeal to authority; Premise 1. x is an authority in field y. Premise 2. x said z. conclusion: z.
False cause fallacy; Reasons from the fact that event X preceded event Y. e.g shortly after microsoft release vista operating system microsoft stocks plummeted, hence theres no doubt vista is responsible. NOT VALID maybe other economic factors where the cause or part cause.
Begging the question; An argument commits the fallacy of begging the questions when its premise(s) presupose truth of the conclusion it is trying to establish. The reasoning is circular. e.g 'object oreinted programming (OOP) languages are superior to nonstrcutured programming languages because OOP languages are strcutured'. Here instead of establishing OOP languages are superior the author assumes it.0
Fallacy of composition/fallacy of division; The fallacy of compostiion confuses the characteristics that apply to the parts of a whole or to the individyual members of a group, with the characteristics of the whole itself. e.g 'The new xyz desktop comuter is the best onn the market. xyz has the fastest processor currently available on any PC, it comesequipped with a suite of office applications that are superior to those on any currently avilable system. Also, its moniter has best resolution and graphic display currently available on any commercial desktop computer'. Here the fallacy should be obvious, each component parts of this desktop computer is the best , it clearly does not follow the system will necessarily be the best on available.
Fallacy of ambiguity; Fallacious reasoning can occur when one or more terms is used ambiguously, ambiguous terms have more than one interpretationand it is not always clear which interpretation the author intends. e.g 'humans can think, and highly sophisticated artificial inteligence (AI) computer systems can think, therefore highly sophisticated AI computer systems are human'. In this case, it is possible that both premises are true in the actual world, However, the sense in which humans think is not necessarily the same sense AI computer systems are said to think. Here the term "think" is used ambiguously.
Appeal to the people AKA appeal to the notion that there is strength in numbers (argumentum ad populum); e.g ' fifty million elvis fans cant be wrong'. Is that true? Does it follow that because Elvis Presley had fifty million fans, that those numbers alone were sufficeint to prove that Elvis was a great recording artist. Do sheer numbers count? Suppose that 150 million americans beleived that slavery was okay, Would that mean slavery must be ok?
The many any fallacy; Premise, many items of a certain kind, A, have property B. Conclusion, Any item of the kind A has B.
The virtual fallacy; Premise1, X exists in cyberspace. Premise2, Cyberspace is virtual. Conclusion, X (or the effect of X) is not real. see blow reference for more on this one.. ug its 11 pm im off this dryness for now.

"Aside from the clothes and brushes, her parents sent her away entirely
unprepared for what was to come," explains Nasser. "They didn't tell her what
happens in a marriage, between a man and a woman."
The next night, after
Thamer had driven his child bride to his home in a remote village, he raped her.
In the
weeks that followed, Nujood's nights were punctuated by hellish games of tag
as she ran from room to room in a desperate and vain bid to escape Thamer's
violent advances.
"She felt her husband was a monster, chasing her," reveals Nasser. Physically
and emotionally traumatised, Nujood begged her parents for help during a visit
to Sana'a, but they refused to let her move back home. "I was very sad and
angry, but I still felt [her marriage] was the thing to do," Shuaieh offers
simply. "We said we would wait until she found help from Allah."
Today, following a landmark judgement, Nujood is Yemen's most famous divorce,
having stared down her country's deeply ingrained customs to become the first
child bride to legally end her marriage. "I wanted to protect myself," says
Nujood, quietly, "and other girls like me."
