There's a documentary on Channel4 about how memories are also stored in the heart. Like, this big fat businessman got a heart transplant, and suddenly he put his career aside and started working out hard, and being really sporty etc., and a year later he found out that his donor was a stuntsman. There are quite a few examples like that on this program, for example a man who got a heart from a black kid who was run over, and then all of a sudden developed a taste for classical music, and it turned out that the donor was a classical violinist. The program says maybe there are neurons in the heart, I reckon maybe since a heart is trained for the lifetime of the person to that person's choice of lifestyle (for example, a stuntman's heart would obviously be healthier, but would also deal with shocks and adrenaline better).

I've heard of deep-tissue massages triggering repressed memories, suggesting possible locations outside of the brain for "memory" cells.
I never thought of the affects of this transfer of cells from organ transplants, though. That's very interesting.
It's too early to call this "bullshit," as the brain is staggeringly complex. It baffles me that the brain doesn't feel any pain and that brain surgery is performed while the patient is awake, with no anesthetics.

No, but I read a book about acupuncture once, and it had testaments of all kinds of operations being done while the patient was awake, talking to the doctors, but couldn't feel a thing because of just a few needles in the correct points. If you've never had acupuncture, you should try it next time you have a serious pain or symptom. It's incredible, I love it. And, contrary to what people say, it doesn't hurt any more than holding a needle very softly against your skin does.

We're talking about memories being stored elsewhere besides the brain. I doubt it'd be up to the heart to put memory cells in it.
Perhaps the brain feeling pain was a bad example, but it is still not wholly understood. I'm sure you'll agree to that.

Maybe memories aren't stored like files are stored on a computer. Maybe they are constantly travelling around the body's neurones (I'm in no way being assertive with any of these theories, I've never passed or taken one biology exam), which would be a basic and pretty bad explanation as to why we constantly forget something and then remember it later.
neurons associated with memory are only found in the brain

*Have only been found in the brain.
But I'll take your word for it that this thing is most likely crappola. So, do we know how memory works? Is it just stored in these neurons, or does it travel, or something else? Just curious.
*Have only been found in the brain.
no they are only found in the brain
the vast majority of neurons are found only in the brain anyway
exceptions are those found in the peripheral nervous system and those are far too simple to have anything to do with memory (and it's darned inefficient for memories to be stored so far away from the brain anyway)
But I'll take your word for it that this thing is most likely crappola. So, do we know how memory works? Is it just stored in these neurons, or does it travel, or something else? Just curious.
it's really really complicated but one could say it's stored in neurons of certain parts of the hippocampus and neocortex

Ok, new theory:
The heart is like a book for a person's emotions. When someone is enjoying themselves, their heart beats a certain way, and with a slight variation for many different things. So, if I listened to and played lots of classical music, the part of my brain which controls (let's call it) sound preference is approving of this music the ears are receiving, and the part of my brain that is responsible for creating the chemicals that cause what we call pleasure does its job, and so my heart would be beating a certain pattern and rhythm (all of these parts/factors have a relationship with each other, remember that). Since I do this everyday, and many hours during the day, my heart would be used to beating that certain pattern above many others, apart from when I sleep and maybe eat.
I'm trying to work out how that would cause another person with my heart to enjoy classical music. I think there is something there.
Oh yes, I'll just clear up about how a heart can be "used to" beating a certain pattern when particular factors (such as classical music>endorphins) are introduced. Obviously the heart has no consciousness which allows it to be affected by "force of habit", but what does happen is because my heart spent so much time beating a certain pattern and rhythm that the parts most involved in that P&R are more developed.
Any of that speak to you?

Depends on what you're talking about specifically. When a woman goes through menopause, she stops producing eggs, therefore no longer has a menstrual period, and is no longer able to have children. Because of all this, they have a decrease in the amount of hormones in their bodies. This leads to the mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, etc.

Her and some guy tried to kill a factory owner who was a complete bastard. At first I didn't agree with the action, but when I looked at the context in a bit more detail I realised that it made sense to assassinate the boss, but these days it wouldn't. Back then, the boss (in this particular case) was like a tyrant who openly repressed the workers protests and I think he payed a couple of organisers to be killed. So killing him would change things, but now killing a company boss wouldn't because the system is more organised, both the government that gives workers a fuller illusion of justice and the companies who are organised in such a way that one man does not make all the decisions and policies.

It's not an illusion. We have more justice. Progress has been made. :)

Well, a pacifist would not agree, but if you view the world as that of the ruling class oppressing the working class, then murdering one of those oppressors is logical if your goal is to liberate the working class. Of course, one could argue that killing off the "head" will only cause another more vicious leader to take power and that what should be done is to start with the "feet", so to speak. Nowadays, that would be true, but I think the situation then is completely different, and that anyone who takes over after the murdered boss wouldn't dare put her life in jeopardy and would pay the workers properly.

I view the world that way yet I still don't agree. The goal is for the lower class to take more power themselves, simply by the power inherent in their position. It needn't be complicated nor violent.

Those are the reasons why now I wouldn't advocate it. But there's nothing says we won't go back to the situation we were in during the 18th century. Most of our produce and almost all of our consumer goods come from areas where working and living conditions are as bad if not worse than late 18th/early 19th century.

Nah, I doubt it, save for a serious crisis like severe overpopulation. There's a term for a global catastrophe caused by lack of resources ... I forget it though.
We developed out of those conditions and are developing into better ones than are current. History is a process. The Third World got a later start; therefore, they're not up to our current level yet.

I don't think that they are late bloomers. I think that they are our lowest working class. Before globalisation we (the workers) had to go through terrible conditions and measly pay and little rights, now we have great conditions, a fair minimum wage, and loads of working rights and benefits. The 3rd World workers don't, however. They just took our place down the "production line".

Well, they're going to develop to our standard eventually. The problem is that our economic hegemony keeps them from developing as quickly as we did. We could develop quickly because Western powers were (still are) on top.
The development of technology will assist as well. Machines will take the lowest, most menial assembly-line type jobs (they already are in the process).

No, we shouldn't become reliant on the government to intervene, especially if that government is capitalist. The only reason western working conditions and laws became what they are is because people DID unionise and DID fight and DID die and DID get fired.

It's not really relying on the government. It's just passing a law favourable to unionization. From there, a solid base can be established and workers can take things into their own hands. It's a one-time thing.

When the democracy of a state is hopelessly interconnected and merged with the capitalism of a state (as is in our case), it is almost impossible to get a law like that passed, and just the fact that we've had to struggle 200 years and are still struggling should show that. There have been tremendous achievements, but also tremendous setbacks (such as privatisation).

Representative democracy is kind of an oligarchy as well ... except it can be changed periodically....
You must agree, though, that electing a worker-friendly party is far more effective and useful than a neo-liberal type of party. They won't wipe your *** for you, but they will establish more favourable conditions or at least ensure those conditions won't be removed en masse.
200 years is nothing btw ... humans have been reforming society since agrarianism.:p These things take time. We can't just seize control and dictate how we want things to be; that's failed every time. We have to take steps, ensure everything's in order, then repeat.

I honestly don't see a major difference between the two, besides that.
Anarchism is much more unified than, say, Communism; which varies from Stalin to Trotsky in major ideologies and much farther in individual belief. The last thing we need is petty infighting. That's what killed the Spanish revolutions in the Spanish Civil War.

I hear American pints are smaller anyway.
40oz = way bigger than a pint
normal can = way smaller
nobody really drinks or orders pints in the US

"You guys." At least it's grammatically correct.

no, you buy at gas stations and drink them in brown paper bags on street corners. thats only if your black or a poor college student, because they're only like 1.50 for the cheap stuff.

Bottle. Stay AWAY from American bars. Drink with the hobos in the railway junction instead.

Technically, I got some in the morning too, about 5 or 6am, but I didn't sleep, so it doesn't seem like proper morning.

There wasn't much of a conversation really, she said she was short on time when she was an hour and a half late to do a frigging book plug and he hung up on her for copping an attitude. Because she's a royal bitch.
Intelligence is not telling the person you were supposed to talk to an hour and a half ago that you're short on time.
