The Myth of Free Will, edited by Cris Evatt What Is Free Will? The free will myth says that humans are imbued with a “spirit” or “soul” or “some magical quality” that directs the brain’s decision-making circuitry. This ghostly, free-floating, supernatural agent can override our genes and conditioning. But how does a nonphysical spirit communicate with a physical body part? The free will myth also says, “You choose, therefore you have free will.” How Your Brain Chooses When you choose between a papaya and a banana, patterns of neural activity representing these two possibilities appear in the cortex. “Decision making is a competition, a dynamic process in which there are winners and losers. Who Says It's a Myth? The Bottom Line “The mind is what the brain does, and so every mental event, from falling in love to worrying about our taxes, is going to show up as a brain event.
ZMP Debunking Crackpot Science The Apollo 'hoax' Over 40 years after the first Apollo moon landing some people still claim it never happened, that it was all a hoax. And some do so quite stridently. I have long had an admittedly somewhat morbid fascination with the pathological reasoning processes that can produce such beliefs. Sometimes I wonder if they're just pulling our leg. Are they simply pretending to believe in these crackpot theories? The health and even the survival of any western democracy requires an educated and well-informed citizenry. Although our universities continue to produce many highly talented and skilled scientists and engineers to work on these problems, this is not enough. Most people admire the intellectual achievements of others and many are deeply inspired by them. Most Apollo deniers are remarkably unoriginal. If you find your blood pressure gets too high when reading the drivel put out by the hoax believers, these might help you unwind. Was the moon landing a hoax? xMax Tom Bearden's MEG
The Zeitgeist Movement Magniwork From PESWiki Page first featured June 2, 2009 The latest version of their plans as of June 28, 2009, is poorly explained. Contains no photos or video, no data, no clear schematic, no specific part numbers. Half the material is about conservation and grid, irrelevant to the plans. The first version of the Magniwork device was based on the Bedini SG circuit, and this photo they showed in their plans is actually a device by Rick Friedrich. [1].

The Venus Project Beware of ‘green scheme’ scammers! Consumers are urged to beware of scammers who call offering rebates on energy efficient initiatives or try to sell energy saving devices that don't deliver the promised energy savings. These days we all want to save money and help the environment. Unfortunately, scammers are preying on this desire to ‘go green’ by offering fake government rebates for initiatives like solar heating and hot water, insulation and water tanks, as well as fake energy saving devices. Scammers posing as government representatives are calling consumers and offering rebates for installing energy efficient appliances, solar panels, water tanks, new insulation and the like. Scammers may also sell plug-in devices that they say will save large amounts of energy in the home, just by plugging them into the wall - but the saving never happens. SCAMwatch warns you to watch out for ‘green scheme’ scammers. Protect yourself Report More information
