THINK!!! ARG!!!
One of the more interesting insights from evolutionary psychology and neuroscience is how the human species is predisposed to pattern-seeking, often to a fault.
On the plus side, through our ability to differentiate similar from dissimilar, we’re able to develop complex systems like language and hierarchical societies.
On the minus side, we also have a taste for narrative that’s quite happy to take short cuts and oversimplifications to arrive at temporary ‘satisfactions’. Many supernatural, pseudo-scientific and conspiracy theory-laden explanations tend to fall into this category.
An interesting corollary to all of this pattern-seeking behaviour is a need to assign an agent as the provocateur of something: if we didn’t have an obvious cause or causer, we would literally need to invent one just to fill in the cognitive gap.

Politics for Dummies
Malaysian politics is such a joke, full of dramas, sandiwaras, stupidity, insults and middle fingers to the people.
The government is taking the people for a ride feeding on the apathy of the majority and their contentedness, dependents and also those who remain silent and unpatriotic also with the presence of dumb opposition which i think the gov is keeping them for show to the international community. It cant do what Singapore does to its opposition cause the country and big and so called democratic.
The opposition is filled with jokers who do not know politics, going in for their own pockets, seedlings from weeds from BN, opportunist, trouble makers and cheap publicist. Its pathetic
Of cos there are good 'politicians' within the opposition but i feel they lack the political credibility and balls. Yes these are those who really want to work for the people but i rather suggest to them to become social workers or NGOs or columnist in newspapers or blogs. Some are just barking dogs in parliament bringing something to nowhere. But parliament itself i dunno seems to be a waste to time and the parliamentarians are just wasting or selling time for cheap so that the actually committee who actually works on bills do the work and everything.
There are credible ones but i feel they are just getting tired and old and loosing the uhmph but still holding them in which i think they will do so until their die.
Politics is dont dirty but its the battle of intellectual rationalization, political geniosity in tactics and maneuvering. Its a hard battle for idiots so they end up in cheating especially with money and sadly there are even more idiots who take them.
Politicians should have a selfless vision and mission for the people and to make that work they have to come into power and to do so fighting through the many other likewise people is what politics is all about. So how you battle your way up to win the peoples heart and get u to govern and make work your vision and mission.
Its like fighting among the many cooks to get the best soup for the customer. But too many cooks to make a soup will spoil the soup but this is different when there are there many 'no cook's' cooking a soup. The real cooks form different restaurants and people of their respective liking will go to the ones they like. See who gets the most customers and they would be the best cook. But if the no cooks open up restaurants fewer people will ever go to any one of them so in the end those with the most out of the least will be the 'best'. the 2nd analogy describes Malaysian politics. Do the people have a better choice? so we are actually choosing the best out of the worst but currently many are gambling on the other no cooks hopefully they would end up to become better.
Malaysian politics not only needs robotic intellectualism but like it or not there is still a lot of sentiments and culture involved so manupulating them to work is essential by not playing dirty once again but using cultural intellectualism. Now we need this intellectualism because we are in a intellectual maturing country (process)unlike those days where there is no need of it.
Sometimes to understand local milieu, we need to do some comparison and lets take a look at Singapore, how it has come up and look at its milieu. They lack the need of cultural intellectualism and lee kuan yew being a brilliant politician with a selfless vision and mission for his people just had to use political intellectualism. he was a robotic politician which made robotic people in the end but luk at Singapore now? i think if Malaysia becomes a pariah state Singapore will still prosper. Even when Indonesia was of no worth once Singapore probably just felt pity. Pro or con the absence of culturism in that country but look at the progress. There culturalism was sacrificed but there is no need over here. It is not a rule that you need to sacrifice one. Why not just merge it through intellectual manipulation.
Unless the opposition in this country pulls and keep their pants up with no shrinking balls and brains win the hearts of people even the good for nothing ones then there is a point to their existence.
BN will forever play its old game for there are many playing with them.
To win them one either needs to play their game which in the long run is going to be a corrupt cancer unless the game is just a ploy or within BN screw them up. And i have a feeling now is a good time to screw them up from the inside out. And one more option, a good opposition which have a balance to play the cards of the intelectualist and the culturalist.
Intellectualism - using brain basically, having wits, know how, tactics, facts and figures, calculated plans, evidence based vision and mission, results, well organized, efficient, disciplined, ethical in work.
Culturalism - those who love their creed (race, religion etc) and wants to maintain them and prevent it from vanishing, uphold roots, defend them
politics (oxford) : the art of science of governing dealing with the form, organization and administration of state and with its regulations of its relations with other states; the ideas, principles or/and commitments of an individual or organisation, in political life, the organisational process of principle according to which decisions are made affecting authority and status.

Book review
The Spirit of Truth & The Spirit of Error
by Rev (Dr) Timothy Tow
This is a book about the charismatic movement within the Christianity regardless of denomination. The author cautions fellow Christians on the authenticity of their practices and doctrines (page 9 1st prgh. He is of protestant background and thus not surprisingly hits a little on the Roman Catholic Church.
On the RC - he equates our believe on Mary and the Saints as also a Spirit of Error (page 3 1st prgh) in respect to attaining Salvation. As the theology and philosophy of protestants is Salvation is ONLY through GOD (bible). Well it is quiet understanding that the author to my perception does not understand on the concept of Salvation by RC which is Salvation is attained by works and faith of which this concept is from the very bible the RC put together only to be later 'mis'/'re'-interpreted by the protestants some 1500 yrs later. To make things clear believing in Mary and the Saints is not equilavent to 'complicated system of works by Mary. Saints, martyrs, etc etc etc' as written in the same page. Mary and the gang are tools for us humans to come closer to God. For God is also Just. It may not be mentioned in the bible but there are many stories which tells us so for example the wedding at Cana. (Dont read the bible literally - it was not written as such unlike the Quran).
Now back to the Charasmatic movement. Well in the beginning the RC church supported it but later it was banned. Like here in Malaysia it was done so too somewhere in the mid 1990s. Why ... reasons are as such in this book.
Well the spirit of error is a plague and is not only within the charismatic movement but also within ourselves and our church be it protestant or RC. However for the RC this error does not stay long but will be rectified and the chances for it to happen is also slim for what governs it is not 1 person the pope but the whole church. Unlike the protestant churches the chances for error is soo big because every church (independent ones especially) is governed most of the time buy just one person or a elite group of elders within a community. In the RC the hierarchy protects us and of cos since it is the church from Jesus it is to this very regard we give confidence to it as a leader in our faith bringing us to God and salvation.
If the spirit of error as ruled over something it will never last long. It will fall. This movement has been banned in the RC. So it stops. Some protestant churches who have opened with this as the main item has closed too. If the RC is an error it would not have survived 2000 over yrs. As in the bible says after Jesus formed it - the gates of hell will not prevail this church.
Now back in the RC certain elements also mentioned in the book which was said to be practiced earlier on in Christianity is stilled practiced but in a liturgical manner as to protect it from flaw and error. So we dont see anymore of the action as described by the author haha.
