Is the desire to change the self a product of evolution, a social transmission, or an anomalous side-effect?
Q. This is something that seems to be stunted in me. I don't wish to be anything. That doesn't mean I'm a satisfied person. So I wonder why so many people seem to want to be something other than themselves. As the song goes The flower said, "I wish I was a tree," The tree said, "I wish I could be a different kind of tree, The cat wished that it was a bee, ...

A. I believe it starts with the creatve ability of the human mind. To wonder what a different existence would be like. The wonder dreated by the beauty of so many other things that exist, or even simply different situations, leads to the desire to feel that other existence. I have known people of little creatve ability. They are happy with thier lot in life, due in much part by thier lack of ability and desire to see themselves in a postion other than they possess. Sometimes this is social. In some societies the creative use of seeing beyond ones postion is "programmed" out of the individual by training them to see that tier lot is best for everyone overall.

What proof do skeptics want. Exactually how do you intend to weigh and measure a spirit or a premonition??
Q. Anomalous lights in the sky, mysterious creatures, angelic figures, strange subhumans, people have always seen funny things throughout the ages. In western culture apparitions and visions have become discredited. They are unpopular and outlawed by official agents in our cultures, science, churches, academia or the press, hower they continue to disconcert us' UFOs, Virgin Marys, phantom animals, aliens, spiritual encounter and so on are seen all over the world. To the believer and skeptic how do you weigh and measure these encounters and why do you believe or disbelieve???

Q. I have come through an anomalous hole in time and space, traveling into the American civilization of the 21st century from my home of twelfth century England. I was sneaking up on a large dragon, mace in hand, when it turned around and sneezed, vibrating each particle of my body into the fourth dimension. Needless to say, this was an interesting experience. When I escaped the fourth dimension, I was here. Can anybody help me get back home?

A. The dragon is still alive, and you need to contact him. He is currently taking antihistamines (it turns out he's allergic to humans, which is why he sneezed in the first place) and you'll need to let him know he needs to stop for a day or two before you get there. Or instead, you could bring a 'can' of mace (pepper spray) which might get him to sneeze again too. This won't help any, as you'll just be propelled into the future another 9 centuries, but there'll be this guy in Cleveland OHIO who can help you out when you get there (he will invent a time machine.) He helped me out the last time that happened to me.

Is religiosity in correlation with intelligence (analytical, emotional, etc.)?
Q. According to the following articles, the more a person is religious, the more likely they have lower than average intelligence. Why does this correlation exist? The first answer that comes to my mind is that religious beliefs tend to be more illogical or incoherent than secular beliefs, and intelligent people tend to recognize that more quickly. A possible counter-argument is that intelligent people tend to be more successful than others. The lure of worldly success and materialism draws many of these intellectually gifted individuals away from God. After all, who needs God when you (apparently) are making it on your own? Could anyone who is religious explain this with a counter-argument with a cited scientific article which is peer-revie [cont.]

All my life I have considered myself straight. All of my past relationships have been with females, although none of them ever truly developed into anything serious (not due to lack of trying). This all changed after I met a certain guy. Ever since the first time I saw him, I was smitten. I started to develop romantic feelings for him after we started to get to know each other. I think one of his main points of attraction is that he has many things I wish I had myself. He's confident, a lady's man, athletic, has soft hair, light brown skin, a… [cont.]

Straight with a homosexual attraction?
Q. I just wanna know what other people have done in this situation. I would like to hear the stories of individuals who considered themselves straight, but somehow have fallen in love with a single person of the same sex. What actions did you decide to take after acknowledging these emotions? What do you consider yourself now that have had an anomalous attraction (exp: homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, etc...)? Why did you fall in love with this individual? Is it because you had a shift in physical attraction or did you love the person for who they are regardless of their gender? Have you ever thought of confessing your love for this individual, if so, how? P.S. I'm in a similar situation so I just wanted to hear the thoughts and stories of… [cont.]

A. The idea that there are only two possible orientations, straight and gay, and that individuals must be exclusively one or the other is largely a fabrication of the medieval Christian Churches. Observational and historical evidence makes clear that people have been going both ways world wide as long as humans have been around, and that such behavior predates humanity since it can and has been observed in hundreds of non-human species as well, from primates to worms. It was for this reason that sex researcher Alfred Kinsey created a sliding scale of preference ranging from totally straight to totally gay and believed that people at either extreme are actually extremely rare. A person in your position would fall on the straight end of… [cont.]

Retin-A / tretinoin side effect question:?
Q. I've been using Retin-A / tretinoin, topically, over several large areas of my body (as in, not just my face), for approximately 6 months. I haven't had any trouble with the typical peeling, redness, irritation and rash effects that many people complain of, but in the last month, I have experienced multiple red marks arising on my body in areas where I am not using the Retin-A. For the medical folks: the marks are approximately one-inch diameter, roughly circular / elliptical / ovular, non-raised, angiomas or petechiae, primarily popping up on my calves. The red marks do not itch, nor are they painful. Ordinarily I would not be concerned, since my doctor insists that they are anomalous skin eruptions which may or may not be… [cont.]

A. Dear Asker! Adverse Reactions: The skin of certain sensitive individuals may become excessively red, edematous, blistered, or crusted. If these effects occur, the medication should either be discontinued until the integrity of the skin is restored, or the medication should be adjusted to a level the patient can tolerate. True contact allergy to topical tretinoin is rarely encountered. Temporary hyper- or hypopigmentation has been reported with repeated application of RETIN-A. Some individuals have been reported to have heightened susceptibility to sunlight while under treatment with RETIN-A. To date, all adverse effects of RETIN-A have been reversible upon discontinuance of therapy (see Dosage and Administration Section). Hope that may… [cont.]

Does anyone know the history of using Red / Green for signalling? (Colour Blindness question.)?
Q. I have a personal interest in this - I have a mild Red / Green deficiency (Deuteranomalous Trichromacy) which prevented me from passing a medical to become a professional yachtmaster. Anyone who has experienced anything similar to this will know how horribly frustrating it is. Does anyone know the history of using Red and Green lights for signalling in seafaring and aviation? It just seems crazy, when something like 8% of all men have a R/G deficiency. Most of these are anomalous trichromats (ie they see all 3 primary colours, just slightly differently to everyone else), so it would have been easy to invent a system using Blue / Yellow for example. (A much lower number of people have Blue / Yellow colour blindness.) I am assuming that… [cont.]

A. Well,the signaling system is based on the refractive index of the colors.When light passes through one side of a prism,a spectrum is formed.Red on the top then orange,yellow,green etc...red can be seen from a far distance than yellow and green.So red is placed on the top, yellow in the middle and green in the bottom...very few people really interested in such type of questions. "Visible light" corresponds to a wavelength range of 400-700 nanometers and a color range of violet through red.The visible colors from shortest to longest wavelength are violet,blue,green,yellow, orange and red.Yellow is natural color(sunlight). Red and orange are similar so two colors i.e.red and green with highest wavelength are used in any signaling system.

What proof do skeptics want. Exactually how do you intend to weigh and measure a spirit or a premonition??
Q. Anomalous lights in the sky, mysterious creatures, angelic figures, strange subhumans, people have always seen funny things throughout the ages. In western culture apparitions and visions have become discredited. They are unpopular and outlawed by official agents in our cultures, science, churches, academia or the press, hower they continue to disconcert us' UFOs, Virgin Marys, phantom animals, aliens, spiritual encounter and so on are seen all over the world. To the believer and skeptic how do you weigh and measure these encounters and why do you believe or disbelieve???

A. I tend to think skeptics aren't open minded and searching, or they are not ready to discover, or they are too distracted. If they are genuinely searching for physical evidence of metaphysical then they are deluded and probably soap boxers. I am open minded and searching and have found enough to satisfy myself. So your answer is a true skeptic will never be satisfied. If you want to find something stop looking for it, and look at everything - so the context and periphery can empower your awareness.
