If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Thanks.


Holy shit, that first one has a lot of math.

Cain

Yeah, its meant to be a mathematical formula for how it works or something.  Maybe 000 can have a look, he may find it interesting.

That's really all acoustics is, is math. Sound wave refraction/dissipation and frequency absorbtion based on materials, shape, environment and placement. There's really only a few necessary formulas, but the constants for different materials to plug into those equations ends up looking like logarithm tables if you're not careful.

I enjoyed my acoustics classes at Berklee. 8) Fun stuff!
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.

Yeah, I got an A in both the Acoustic and Electronic parts.

Okay... can you dig up anything on the Melioration Principle? It's a behavior psychology idea which basically states that organisms engage in whatever behavior gives them the best reward. And they keep doing that until a competing behavior offers a better reward.

You can use this to describe specific things - like at what point do you stop scratching an itch, or at what point do you stop eating the steak and take a bite of mashed potatoes
But I'm toying with writing an article about how this affects broad things like why we're Discordian and not something else. Or perhaps how seeking rewards and reenforcement is a bar of the Black Iron Prison.

A literature review would be helpful.


according to a brief google search, Richard J. Herrnstein, Drazen Prelec wrote a paper on Melioration as it relates to economics. That might be what I'm looking for.

Thats the specific one that you mentioned.

Got anything on terahertz transducer arrays for molecular spectroscopy?  I'm specifically looking for anything to do with "security" applications.

Cain

Afraid not.  I tried several variations, but nothing specific came up.

As a note, I have connections to a rather large database as well.

Don't know if I can link it here, but if anyone wants to try, I will look it up.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.
