   He was dramatically influenced by Albert Szent Gyorgyi, who became a Nobel Laureate for discovering vitamin C. He was the first scientist to publicly say he believed that all of biology used semiconduction to animate life. In fact, Szent Gyorgyi’s on March 21, 1941, gave a speech to the Budapest Academy when we mentioned that he felt electricity had to be part of life’s magic, but he believed it was semiconduction that was the key missing piece. Becker took the implications of that speech, and in 20 years, proved Szent Gyorgyi correct with his work in human bone regeneration. Most people in th…

   In these experiments**, he proved how anesthesia works mechanistically and how sleep and wakefulness happen globally.** The problem was, he did not realize what he found back then. Why? Because many other discoveries had yet to have been made to allow him to understand the data back then. I realized the brilliance of his work immediately when I read it in 2008. Let us see first what Gerard did to make sense of what Becker did.

   Albert Szent Georgyi knew electrons and photons held the key to life. He just did not follow that pathway of physics. He was a trained MD, and this is why he fell short.

   these days of short cuts, there should have arisen a movement to get rid of Euclid and to substitute a “royal road to geometry”; the marvel is that a book which was not written for schoolboys but for grown men (as all internal evidence shows, and in particular the essentially theoretical character of the work and its aloofness from anything of the nature of “practical” geometry) should have held its own as a_school- book for so long. And now that Euclid’s proofs and arrange- ment are no longer required from candidates at examinations there has been a rush of competitors anxious to be first in …

   (10) "He does go around and around the same idea a number of times, which does cut down on the notes for the class, but it can get a little boring." (11) "Though I've heard students say he often repeats himself, I think this is a merit in a philosophy course in which arguments and thoughts can quickly become confusing." (12) "Shelly Kagan is a fabulous, resourceful, utterly convincing lecturer." (13) "He would work through arguments right in front of--" I like this one, because this is what I at least aim to be inside my head. Here's what I'm doing. Thirteen: "He would work through arguments r…

   WHEN, forty years ago, I first expressed the ideas explained in this book, they found small sympathy, and indeed were often contradicted. Only a few friends, especially Josef Popper the engineer, were actively interested in these thoughts and encouraged the author. When, two years later, Kirchhoff published his well-known and often- quoted dictum, which even to-day is hardly correctly interpreted by the majority of physicists, people liked to think that the author of the present work had misunderstood Kirchhoff. I must decline with thanks this, as it were, prophetical misunderstand ing as not …

   Even if this is a dedication, it does not follow that Alcmaeon agreed with the views of his addressees. Comparison with Empedocles’ address to Pausanias suggests, moreover, that what we have is not a dedication but an exhortation or an attempt to instruct (Vlastos 1953, 344, n. 25). Comparison with other early Greek prose writers such as Hecataeus and Heraclitus shows that books could begin with criticism of the views of others so that Alcmaeon’s address to these Pythagoreans may be polemical (Kouloumentas 2018). Diogenes Laertius, in his Lives of the Philosophers (3 rd century AD), includes A…

   Commentators have found evidence in Austin’s writings of the German Pandectist treatment of Roman Law, in particular, its approach to law as something that is, or should be, systematic and coherent (Schwarz 1934; Stein 1988: pp. 223–229, 238–244; Lobban 1991: pp. 223–256, Lobban 2013). Lectures from the course he gave were eventually published in 1832 as “Province of Jurisprudence Determined” (Austin 1832). However, attendance at his courses was small and getting smaller, and he gave his last lecture in 1833. A short-lived effort to give a similar course of lectures at the Inner Temple met the…

    III. But, on the contrary, we early entertained an esteem for the orator; though he was not at first a man of learning, but only quick at speaking: in subsequent times he became learned; for it is reported that Galba, Africanus, and Lælius were men of learning; and that even Cato, who preceded them in point of time, was a studious man: then succeeded the Lepidi, Carbo, and Gracchi, and so many great orators after them, down to our own times, that we were very little, if at all, inferior to the Greeks. Philosophy has been at a low ebb even to this present time, and has had no assistance from ou…
