 Disambiguation Blog: The Cosmological In-Difference of When Shit Happens
If shit is a fold of the cosmos that passes through us when it happens, the human condition is forever simply to eat shit and die.
The cosmos does not belong to our time and the temporal series of shit happening most often than not ignores the human will.
Shit happening is cosmologically sexy, it can fuck some shit up, but that is just the cosmos finding a bedfellow, kind of like the ancient Greek gods used to.

 Jainism - Wikipedia
Achieving release from the human condition is difficult.
Karma operates to keep the jiva chained in an unending series of existences in which the jiva suffers to a greater or lesser extent.
The consequence of evil actions is a heavy karma, which weighs the jiva down, forcing it to enter its new life at a low level in the scale of existence.

 Statistics of Parsing Errors
The proposed disambiguation method is based on the frequencies of such combinations both in phrases of the text and in the parser errors, i.e., in the trees generated by the parser, but rejected by human proof-readers or another disambiguation procedure, or absent in the training corpus such as the Penn TreeBank.
The described method of disambiguation can be applied to sophisticated parsers or grammars, for which it is difficult to predict, or explain the reasons for, their errors, so that the only thing that can be done is statistical analysis of the observed behavior of the parser.
In the experiments, the results of disambiguation using the expression (12) were always better than the results obtained with the expression (8).

 Jesus was a Liberal
Jesus only needed 22 lines, three archetypal characters who speak, two settings, and three acts to create a literary masterpiece that completely capitulates the entire history of the Bible, religion and the human condition.
Jesus is saying that no matter how badly we may be doing, even if we are in the filth of filth, that God has so much faith in us that God still completely and unconditionally loves us.
Fortunately, there are hippy liberals like the one who write that Jesus provided β€œthe outlines of a system of the most sublime morality which has ever fallen from the lips of man.” The same radical also dared separate the teachings of Jesus from all the stories about his miracles.

 MEDIAECOLOGY.2000-07
Communication by way of language is a major contributor to the human condition, and once writing became commonplace, technology needed to be considered because it affected not only language and communication, but thought as well.
How more recent and future technologies might affect thought would seem to be a important if not necessary extension of the work of M. Parry and A. Luria.
My concerns with Bob Logan's essay is that in embracing these ideas he makes ME, for me, much more diffuse than focused.

Central issues of interest to people are the understanding of the human condition and the meaning of life, and survival.
