[tonywalt]

Wolflarsen- no question. Wolf Larsen is a seasonal novelist, playwright, and does other stuff. Wolf Larsen worked for 12 years as a seasonal laborer in Alaska.

[Delta40]

Damn you tony - I was going to nominate Wolfie myself but I was concerned about the man's feelings (wait a mo - do intellects even have feelings???)

[Maximilianus]

I've been told of one who developed feelings upon being abandoned by both his wife and his lover, maybe by his children too. However, he got to have a wife and lover when he had no feelings, and now that he has feelings he's all alone. Life can be groovy for an intellectual.

[Delta40]

My friends tell me I'm condescending. (That means I talk down to people.)

[Maximilianus]

Unintentionally, I often allow roaches to talk down to me. I have this mental issue of being thinking about something else when they shoot, and they catch me unprevented. I know what I should have said, but minutes after their shot. Therefore, I must not be intellectual enough. I gladly drop myself from this list.

[osho]

This is a stupid idea to say this since this is a judgmental issue since somebody may be linguistically better and others thematically, structurally, informationally and inventively. Who are you to judge and the judge must sit on a high and nobody can sit on that high and to draw a conclusion to this end is intellectually rubbish

The great poet, philosopher, and general (tightly panted) randy man Englebert Humperdinck had this to say about feelings "Feelings...nothing more than feelings, trying to forget my feelings"

[osho]

Here on this forum I do not find anybody superior to the other. Some people are better at thematic presentations and others are stylistically more superb. To say one is more intellectual than the other is to devalue the other's status. Everybody to me seems a good writer and some write better prose other poetry. I write poetry frequently and yet I am unsure I am poetically more intellectual or learned than some who are outnumbered by me. It is not always the number but the quality that matters at the end of the day.

Therefore judgment is not an easy job. It is harsh to make a judgement impulsively. I do not think any sensible people posting here make such a stupid judgement

Not really. For too long, math was deemed to be the only acceptable type of intelligence until one good day someone admitted the many equally acceptable types of it. For example, your intelligence lies within the visual category of skills because of what you can do with the tip of a pencil against a sheet of paper, and because of your sculpting skills. Then again, one may have other sorts of unexplored intelligence that we are unaware of because they lie within fields that we have never tried, but the beast might be right there, dormant in a hidden corner waiting for a spark to light its fuse.

Thank you, Max! I'm learning the language of math now. I went to a bad public high school. They didn't really teach math. The teacher sat us down with some numbers and then slept at her desk, basically. I've reached the highest level of English available to me in this country. I somehow understand numbers very well when they're wrapped up in science, but I'm still puzzled by basic algebra. I'll learn.

I suppose the tragedy of poorly taught math is that it can ruin math for you for life. Once the mental block is in place, it's hard to shove aside. I say math, and we say math in this country, but there are many maths. I like the way the British say it: maths (in my humble opinion, one of the few times those extra letters in British English actually do some good).

Anyway, I absolutely hated High School Algebra. Pure drudgery. It confirmed my preconception of what it would be like, which I'd based on my experience with arithmetic in grade school. I realize now that my algebra teacher probably barely understood the subject herself. Ignorance begets ignorance. Luckily my geometry teacher was fabulous - young, motivated, and happy to be there (and good-looking). That class was a pleasure. Then it was on to derivative and integral calculus, which was were I realized that math is really more about reasoning and logic than number crunching. Then it was on to differential equations, linear algebra, quantum mechanics, which was where math seemed to be more about philosophy than logic. And then it was on to heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and a bunch of other stuff that guys with plastic pocket protectors find interesting.

Even though I've never actually owned a pocket protector (I just walked around campus with ink stains on my shirt), I found math interesting - beautiful even, in a weird sort of way. If you're searching for truth, math ain't a bad place to start looking.

Okay, I'm done with my math rant.

So, I'm off on my intelligence rant.

There must be at least as many different kinds of intelligence as are different kinds of math. Some folks are good at abstract thought, others are good at diplomacy. Some people do mechanical things well, others do language well. It's a rare individual who does everything well. A South Georgia farmer probably wouldn't do well on a Fortune 500 company's board of directors, and a Wall Street Banker would probably never be able to get the peaches to grow plump and delicious around here. I think society just values certain types of intelligence over others.

Okey-dokey, I'm all ranted out for the evening.

One more thing: never confuse intelligence with education.

[tonywalt]

a Wall Street Banker would probably never be able to get the peaches to grow plump and delicious around here. I think society just values certain types of intelligence over others.

A Wall Street banker would likely find a way to take the farm (equity) over, if I know them well enough- most farms are corporate owned now, as is the technology. The only non-corporate bodies are the pickers.

But you are right on types of intelligence.

[Sancho]

No doubt about it, any Wall Street Banker on his game could, in no time, strip a family farm of its equity, leave the fields fallow, take the family's house, and still feel good about himself in the morning. But that'd be small fry for those guys and not even worth their time. Wall Street bankers are too busy playing with other people's money, dreaming up derivatives that nobody fully understands, creating a Malthusian catastrophe of the banking variety, and then getting a taxpayer bailout, or shucking off their bad paper on gullible European bankers and thus creating a Malthusian catastrophe of the Eurozone variety.

But that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about growing peaches. And the type of intelligence it takes do that sort of thing, which, as I suggested, Wall Street bankers generally don't have. So I'm gonna stick with my original hypothesis.

As for corporate farming in the U.S., I think you're right, acreage wise, most farming here is run by a handful of corporations. Although several of the middle western states that were badly bitten during the dust bowl, Oklahoma in particular, have laws against it. It's a whole other discussion, but there are definite ethical problems with factory farming, in my opinion.

So back to types of intelligence. I'd say it requires different kind of intelligence and certainly a different skill set to run a farming business (even a big corporate farm) than it does to run a bank. Bankers usually start as traders, and with those guys it's all about jungle survival skills. Running a business requires more of a nurturing mindset. So anyway, does anybody here watch CNBC? A couple of weeks ago they were interviewing Bill Ackman (a billionaire hedge fund dude) and Carl Icahn (a super billionaire, uh, I don't know what the hell he is) called in. Well these two guys have an ongoing beef with each other and they get to trash-talking each other right there on live TV. Real playground stuff. Oh man, I was dying. It was clear to me that had they been in the jungle, they'd've been circling each other in a knife-fighting crouch. And these guys are billionaires. I mean, WTF? Also, Icahn did not prove himself to be such a stupendous leader of an airline. I hear he still needs a bodyguard when he goes to St Louis.

That reminds me of a book I read a couple of years ago:Deep Survival. It was all about who lives and who dies in a "survival situation." (Sorry about the stream of consciousness writing style here. I'm just rolling with it) Anyway, when kids are thrown into a survival situation, (lost in the woods or something) it turns out that farmer's kids and inner-city kids did a lot better than everybody else. The farm kids had a certain naturalist knowledge they drew on, and the inner-city kids had basic survival instincts that kicked in. Suburban kids were toast.

Can I just ask is it Maths or Math?

[Emil Miller]

Can I just ask is it Maths or Math?

An interesting question and below is the explanation. However, it will never cease to irritate when I see it referred to in the singular :



Is “math” or “maths” the correct word to use as the shortened or colloquial form of the word mathematics? The answer is that it depends on where you are.

To North American speakers of English, the word to use is “math”, as in “I majored in math”, and “maths” would sound wrong. Speakers of British English, however, would always say “maths”, as in “I took a degree in maths”. They would never say “math”.

There are logical arguments for both spellings. The word “mathematics” can be considered as a singular and as a plural noun. Both the Oxford and the Merriam-Webster dictionaries say the word is plural – hence the s on the end – but also that it is usually used as if it was a singular noun. So, most people would say “mathematics is my best subject” and not “mathematics are my best subject”. The shortened form “maths”, then, makes sense because the word is still a plural noun and so should still have the “s” on the end. On the other hand, it could be argued, “math” makes sense because it seems wrong to remove the letters “ematic” from the middle of the word and leave the final “s”.

There are a number of other plural nouns that are used as if they were singular – for example economics, ethics, politics, gymnastics, measles and dominoes. These words, however, are not habitually shortened, making math/maths rather an unusual word.

It’s sometimes surprising how much argument and disagreement small differences such as that single letter can make. Readers in the UK, for example, sometimes get very upset if someone writes “math” rather than “maths”. No doubt the reverse is true in the US. In practice, it’s simply worth being aware of the geographical differences so that you can use the correct form of the word in your writing.

[cacian]

Emil thank you for such an interesting and lengthy explanation. I have always spelled it with an S so Maths it is then haha.

[Varenne Rodin]

Thanks, Emil! I had no idea "maths" was used elsewhere. I'm glad to know. Now I'll be conflicted on which to use, but I must say that I hold no loyalty to American style.

The intellect starts when the reading stops. I guess it is a fair way of looking at it. To write about the intellect is when the imagination starts.
An intellectual point of view would read something like this for the world to get better one write better about it. In other words for the human condition to improve one should improve it through writing. That I consider to be the easiest way iy requires hardly any effort apart from a pen and paper. Money is not required.

[stlukesguild]

going to/gotta

"gotta" is not an abbreviated form of "going to" but rather of "have to" or "got to" such as "I gotta go to work tomorrow." "Gotta" is also slang where color as opposed to colour is considered correct usage.

The term Gasoline is not a French term, but rather dates back to 1863 in the Oxford English Dictionary. Both the terms "Gasoline" and "Gas" are commonly used in the US.

[OrphanPip]

I'm not aware of gasoline being used in French either, gas is always referred to as essence here in Montreal.

Just a few things to accompany stluke's explanation.

gonna is the contraction for going to (mistaken for gotta some posts above).
And the Online Etymology Dictionary says the following about gasoline, which is in the lines of what stluke's commented earlier:



gasoline (n.)
1864 (alternative spelling gasolene is from 1865), from gas + -ol (probably here representing Latin oleum "oil") + chemical suffix -ine (2). Shortened form gas was in common use in U.S. by 1897. Gas station as a fuel filling station for automobiles recorded by 1924.

Those whiskers are dangerously near the instrument, if anything went wrong with the electrics they could go up in a sheet of flame.
Now that's something I would pay to see.

Heh heh, well, rock-n-roll and self-immolation (literal or metaphoric) have always gone hand in hand. But then again, I’ve always considered Mr. Gibbons up there ^ to be more of a bluesman than a rocker.
