A Sheep in Wolves Clothing

I was reading my psych book (no I am not on drug) (but at first I typed I was reading my psych class so maybe I am just crazy)... lol

So anyway in my psych book I am reading about conditioning. Which is associating something with something else that is unrelated due to pain or pleasure. Such as Pavlovs dog. They rang a bell every time he was fed, and pretty soon he started salivating to the bell even when food wasnt present, because he associated the bell with food. (actually I disagree somewhat... yes they TECHNICALLY made the dog salivate to a bell, but really he was still salivating to the food, he just thought the bell ringing meant food was coming)

So anyway in a practical application researchers applied this technique to deter wolves from eating rancher's sheep, without killing the wolves. They laced sheep meat with chemicals that cause nausea. And as a result they developed conditioned aversion to sheep. The funny part is that this worked so well a few of the wolves became afraid OF THE SHEEP! That is hilarious. I think anyway. hehe.

What I learned in Psych Class

We are all just congealed stardust, an accidental byproduct of cosmic chemistry. We have no free will, and we simply respond to stimuls similiar to that of a computer. We have no choice in our actions they are dictated by our environment, geans, and learning. We are simply puppets of the world. There is no God, and we are simply intelligent animals.

Well I can sum up my thoughts about this in two really neat words: BULL SHIT.

Denying GOD's existance is like walking into a library and declaring the books to be the product of chance.

Irony at its GREATEST

Well how is this for irony. Last night at around 11 pm, my buddy from work and me were going to race. We both have LOUD! exhaust, and were revving the crap out of our cars. I bet we could be heard from many blocks away. Then we are going about 50 down the biggest street in town. We hit a light and we both floor it. There were like 3 cars around us, and we were loud as jet planes. My tires with spinning from the incredible amount of torque, and Chris pulled ahead of me because I shoulda eased on the pettle then floored it so I coulda got the maximum amount of traction. Initially he pulled ahead some, but then I got my traction and left him in the dust. So anyway we honked, and I turned off to go home, and never even heard a whisper of a cop. Then this morning I come back from english class, and have a parking tickit! I forgot to hang my decal, because I was in a major hurry. Is that totally unexpected or what instead of getting in trouble for last night, I get in trouble for being forgetful! How is that for irony... now I am not complaining, but its just like... sheesh. The fine for being forgetful at SDSU is 20 bucks. My friend from english class said hed give me his get out of jail free ticket, because I already used mine, but then we couldnt because it was only for his decal #. But the guy was really nice about it. I went and parked by all the cop cars and my Camaro was like haha want to race. The cars of course said nothing. Being slow and all. So the moral of the story is when you are worried about the big things in life the little things come and kill you. Not that I was worried, just a bit wary for common sense.

Scientists Detect Two Decision-making Pathways In Human Brain

In a classic Aesop fable, the Ant diligently stores food for the upcoming winter, while the Grasshopper lounges in the summer sun oblivious to the impeding change of season. Like the characters in this tale, people are often torn between impulsively choosing immediate rewards or more deliberatively planning for the future. And now new research supported in part by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggests why: human decision-making is influenced by the interactions of two distinct systems in the brain which — like the Ant and Grasshopper — are often at odds.

I feel like that when I am "trying" to do homework... lets see I could, play on the internet, DRIVE MY CAR, watch tv.. or I could do my homework... Tough decision... not. I usually procrastinate to long... and often times barely get done what I needed to do... and winter is coming. Will you be ready?

PS.. Actually spring is coming... but just play along ok people. GOSH!
