Is religion a formulaic tool But then people lose sight and
immerse themselves in the
religion rather than follow
the natural evolution of the
mind?
That is, someone uses a
wheelchair until their legs
are healed to the point where
they can walk. However,
instead of walking they
continue to use the
wheelchair.

Hehehe. No. Religion is a spiritual road map. It promises a destination, and gives tips and clues to get to the destination. Full human potential is not achieved by following other people's directions given to other people. Then instructions given to a man even 50 years ago are already woefully out of date. |

why are manufactured I am very cynical about it
all. A lot of music is so
boring and has nothing
distinctive about it.
Why is it only young, thin,
beautiful, barely
dressed/heavy make up
,gyrating their bodies, seem
to be in these bands.
Does anyone actually buy their
songs??
I am a grumpy old woman. Well
i'm 26
Music was better when I was
young!!!

Manufactured music is boring, dull, and stale because it is not driven by someones vision, talent, or passion. It is driven by a room full of producers and executives that are trying to emulate something that has sold records before. Music is best when an artist or band works on their craft by touring and living and struggling. Most of those bands never make it now-days because the music that is crammed down our throats now comes from reality tv shows and over-hyped pretty faces. As for the visual side of these bands you are talking about you can thank the impact of TV and videos for the change... Attractive people always have an edge but long gone are the days when you might hear an artist on the radio and have no idea whether they looked like Carrie Underwood or Mama Cass... Sex sells and it is used to sell everything from CD's to chewing gum... welcome to the world. There is a lot of good music out there.... you just have to look a bit harder to find it. |

Can the "proof without words" Imagine that there are three
pictures the first a square,
the next a square unfoldint
then the next a big square
with a smaller square to the
right. I am confused on how to
explain step by step. This is
a new topic in math I am
struggling with.

check this link out for explanation. I think it's what you are talking about from your description. Is it? Anyways, hope this helps! =) I only learned it as a right triangle with a^2 + b^2 = c^2.... but what it is basically saying (and this is the first time I, an old folgy, am looking at this)... you have 3 squares... one big one, one medium and one small. The big one has side 'c'... the medium has side 'a'... and the smaller one has side 'b'... it's basically saying the same thing... the area of the big square is what? c^2 because c x c = c^2... that's how you calculate area of a square. the area of the medium square is what? a^2 because a x a = a^2... the area of the smallest square is what? b^2 because a x a = a^2... so.... pythagorean's theorem for the 'right triangle' (with sides 'a' and 'b' and hypoteneuse 'c') is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.... which is 'formulaic'ally (if there is such a word) the same as saying... the sum of the areas of a medium square (a^2) and small square (b^2).... i.e. a^2 plus b^2 is equivalent to the area of the large square (c^2).... of which whose side c is the same as the hypoteneuse of the triangle. Their being 'formulaically' (I think I just made up a new word LOL)... is NOT to be confused with this meaning that the sum of the areas of all three squares is equal to the area of the triangle... that's not what this picture is trying to illustrate... It's saying that "Pythagorean's Theorem" is 'formulaically' the same as saying sum of the areas of the small and medium squares (a^2) + (b^2) = (c^2), where c^2 is the area of the largest square. Do you see it now? Well, I hope so,... because I never ever learned it this way and am happy that I was able to do a pretty good job of explaining this concept to you. So THANK YOU! for asking the question... and allowing me to learn with you. I learned something today... and taught it to my first student!!!! LOL P.S. the squares are not unfolding... the three square are flat... and their sides are resting next to the sides of the right triangle... The squares are sharing sides with the right triangle... that's all... I know... it looked really confusing when I first looked at it... I was like... ACK! Hehee... |
