Parky Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 "It turns out that we weren't engineered to be rational or logical or even particularly deliberate. Instead, our mind holds a messy network of different areas, many of which are involved with the production of emotion. Whenever we make a decision, the brain is awash in feeling, driven by its inexplicable passions. Even when we try to be reasonable and restrained, these emotional impulses secretly influence our judgement." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7905536.stm Wins.

Guest LucaAltieri Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We weren't "engineered" at all. The brain is layer upon layer of development, with parts being used in ways that you wouldn't design them to function if you were starting from scratch. They've just proven to be able to do half a job later on... and evolutionarily speaking, doing half a job is better than doing no job at all. It's no secret that our brains are a constant battleground between the emotional and the logical. Our desires vs. our better judgement. Ask anyone in marketing, politics, or any other area where persuasion and motivation are necessary.

Mr Logic Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It's a rare USAF insignia from a black project squadron of stealth planes. It may have been adopted by some section of the USAF but it's an ancient symbol, possibly Egyptian. I think it's supposed to represent a lamb from the mouth of a serpent. The 'shining sun' behind the head is a classic way of portraying an aura, so it almost certainly had religous significance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Karl Popper believes that all life at every level follows the same logical problem solving process in its desire to survive. We are thinking all the time, new conscious or subconscious information causes emotions whilst the info gets sorted into the brain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American military insignia is veritably flowing with Egyptian mythology. Good spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
