A. Information about the Brain I think, therefore I am. Rene Descartes, 17th-century philosopher Few of us question the crucial importance of the brain. It is vital to our existence. Our brains enable us to think, as Rene Descartes so skillfully pointed out nearly 400 years ago. Yet the human brain is responsible for so much more. It directs almost everything we do. It controls our voluntary movements, and it regulates involuntary activities such as breathing and heartbeat. The brain serves as the seat of human consciousness: it stores our memories, allows us to feel emotions, and gives us our personalities. The brain makes up only 2 percent of our body weight, but it consumes 20 percent of the oxygen we breathe and 20 percent of the energy… [cont.]

A. If I was to quote the Bible, it would say, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Is my characters actions legal or just immoral?
Q. I am writing a story and believe that I have come up with a good plot line. However, I am not sure if my characters actions are illegal or just immoral. I thought of calling a lawyer, but I would not be able to pay for a consultation. What other sources are there? I am planning on having my character do something that most people in passing wouldn't even think is illegal or at least nothing more than a misdemeanor, but results in someone's unintentional death. I'm just trying to be realistic as to whether he winds up in an emotional jail or a literal jail?

Q. How do the actions of neurotoxins act to block nervous system's stimulation of the muscular system?
Asked by indiansk8 - Tue Jan 27 21:29:51 2009 - Medicine - 1 Answers - Comments

A. It depends on the toxin and there are many. Here are 2 examples with different sites of action: Tetrodotoxin - this is a toxin that inhibits sodium channels in nerve axons. Nerve transmission is completely cut off and with it the ability to breath. Death occurs by asphyxiation. This toxin was just in the news yesterday...see link. Alpha-bungarotoxin - this is a snake venom that blocks the communication between the nerve and the muscle much like curare. Paralysis and asphyxiation result.

Is it possible that minorities are discriminated against because of their actions and ways of thinking?
Q. For example, people are racist towards blacks because they think they will steal, not because of their color. Another example, muslims. Muslims are very discriminated because a lot of them are terrorists. So is it possible that some minorities are discriminated against because of their actions and ways of thinking and not because of color? Because like me, I base how I see a race depending on their actions and not because of skin color. I don't care about skin color. I care about what the culture of that race makes them think.

What actions are required to legalize marijuana?
Q. What legislative actions including the specific body, if any, are required to implement legalizing weed?
Asked by suzzie g - Sun May 24 17:30:57 2009 - Law & Ethics - 5 Answers - Comments

A. There are actually many possible ways for this to work. Some people have made an attempt to do it through the courts, by getting the Supreme Court to call it unconstitutional. Many people have claimed this is a violation of having a limited federal government, which is why alcohol prohibition had to be an actual amendment to the constitution. There is the possibility of a legislative bill which would have to be passed through Congress and the Senate. There are probably many more ways to actually legalize marijuana. I wouldn't be surprised if they took away drug scheduling and redid the whole legality of all drugs (not legalizing everything, but using a new system)

Can psychologists analyze the actions of a self-actualized person who is not bound by worldly desires?
Q. I don't think so because such a person develops spontaneous behaviour rooted in spirit and not necessarily worldly. Psychology has the statistical understanding of the minds of people whose desires are mostly worldy and the needs underlying their actions can be charted on the Maslow's Hierarchies. The actions of the self actualized person in God's Spirit will be spontaneous, unselfish, and full of quiet love, seem naive and puzzle the wordly person while leaving the psychologist with perhaps a futile theory. What do you think?
Asked by stvenryn - Mon May 26 02:32:35 2008 - Philosophy - 8 Answers - Comments

A. All persons who are not mentally ill can be analyzed, because actions (even those of "self-actualized") are based on the epistemological base of the person. Epistemic Psychology makes that the standard by which it analyzes a person's behavior.

Asked by Matt - Sun Jul 9 18:13:29 2006 - Philosophy - 5 Answers - Comments

A. Fear is a state of mind, not an action. It is true that many--perhaps most--people do not do things they know to be wrong because of a fear of what the consequences will be. This does not mean that fear makes them "good," however. Fear might also keep someone from doing good. After all, when someone does something that they shouldn't because of peer pressure, they are doing wrong because of fear--fear of how they will be viewed if they are too "chicken" to do it. While it is true that fear of consequences might sometimes lead people not to do wrong, this is not how we should think about right and wrong. The fact is that there are no specific things that people need to do in order to be "considered generally good.&qu [cont.]
