I'm facing a dilemma and I'm not sure how to proceed. Research has led me to information I think would be very useful to make a certain over-arching point, but doing so would be the equivalent of telling 40 years worth of researchers that they've been "doing it all wrong". There should be some sort of novelty and uniqueness in what I produce, but I'm not sure if even I am bold enough to make that contribution be a manifesto declaring that problems are conceptualized, researched, and pondered in a way that serves only to perpetuate endless research instead of finding actual answers to the questions so we can all move on to looking at other things.

Certainly I can't be the only person in the last 40 years that sees what I see, and I wonder if those other people faced this same dilemma and just decided to toe the line so they wouldn't place their academic/professional career aspirations in jeopardy. Part of me is just wondering how far I am wanting to jump past these arbitrary lines drawn in the metaphorical sand.
Popper, my friend. A scientific truth is always relative and should be possible to falsify. Good luck in.falsifying. Science is fun!

I don't know what you're talking about but I enjoyed reading this.
I was intentionally vague. I'm not going to discuss the details of my writing until after it's been defended at my orals and then submitted for publication in academic journals. I figure keeping things vague until then gives less room for people to assume I am speaking falsehood, not to mention I like being able to deliver proof to folks like smacking them with a wet trout.

I'm curious as to what strings she's using as it has more of a viola tonality then it does a violin.
A violin can make your soul soar...

Violin comes in at about 0:40 or so.

On another note, have you tried adding FX to that viola? Gives it a whole new dimension. It can be done easily with a sound pickup. Don't even need a guitar FX box, just run the audio to a computer and apply FX through a digital audio workstation.

Right.. Even though I didn't understand it I still enjoyed reading it. It wasn't about understanding it

If I wanna quit CC, how do I go about doing that? Is there a fee? I'm not sure yet, but it's definitely something in my mind.

.

I believe that there is a $1000 fee to deactivate an account. However, you can pay on the installment plan with no interest for 12 months. Once the fee is paid the account is deactivated. It will only cost you $100 though to reactivate an account, cash only.

Search for the truth. Tell the truth.


Proverbs 23:

[SUP]23[/SUP] Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

I wanted to do this too but realized I'd have nobody to talk to.

Talk to your faculty advisor. I researched the end times and came up with something no one suggested for nearly two thousand years and was in direct contradiction to the mainstream of the last 200 years. It can be done.

Perhaps if you couch it in words like speculation, conceivably and perhaps, it might not rock the boat so much. I would not be surprised if you did come up with a unique concept. That's one of the advantages of being an asperger's citizen. You can think outside the box.

Although being an Aspie has some serious drawbacks in terms of socializing and getting along with one's peers, you are right that there is a certain extra-dimensionality in thought processes that is sometimes very useful.

Good idea on making it less "declarative" and more "speculative". I think I could probably be very suggestive without being overt.

That was last year... the fee is now $1500 (due to inflation).. :rolleyes: and you must hand over your first-born too.

It's time for me to leave. I have messaged an admin. I won't be using Skype or facebook either for those I had on there. I need a break. Maybe I'll come back in a few months. I don't know yet. There are things in my life going on right now that I just need to fix. Y'all be blessed.

This makes me sad, Molly. :( I hope you do come back. And I hope the stuff that's happening in your life gets straightened out soon. God bless you.

Mollyconner, don't delete your account. Just stop logging in for awhile.

Just checking - Did you go back to your abusive boyfriend or are you done with him?
