MTUCs Sarawaks final response

Posted: at 8:41 am

FMT LETTER: From Andrew Low, via email

Medecci began his rebuttal to MTUC with this ;

I invite Andrew to read for greater understanding of its fundamentals and principles. Libertarian is about normative discipline, methodological individualism, voluntary association, non-aggression principles and private property rights. So I am proud to be both in these groups of thought. I am blessed indeed.

Medecci continued belief that others dont read or understand what Libertarian principles are, is condescending at best and having the mind-set of him being a superior person at worse.

Austrian Libertarianism is just one of many forms of Libertarian school of thought. I would venture to say that Medeccis brand of Austrian Libertarian is a particularly extreme form of libertarianism that calls for the abolishment of government.

Those who subscribe to this extreme school of thought are actually call anarchists, a very correct description, I must add.

Lets try to understand Medeccis reasoning.

My argument is this; those few who first thought the earth was round or that our planet revolved around the sun and not vice versa were also extreme and discredited the Church. In that era, there were only a small numbers of people such as Galileo and Copernicus who went against the mainstream and they were indeed super dedicated.

The two thinkers paid a big penalty (established by force) for advocating these extreme seeking the truth. Giodarno Bruno an Italian thinker who is best known for his cosmological theories was executed for holding opinion contrary to the Catholic Church.

Despite sacrificing their lives and their freedom, these great thinkers never call for the abolishment of the Church. All they did was to show, through the pursuit of scientific knowledge, that some of the Church thinking were wrong.

Why Freezing Yourself Is a Terrible Way to Achieve Immortality

Posted: at 8:41 am

S

What happens after we die? It's a question that has plagued the human mind since we first developed the concept of "death." The search for an answerand, more importantly, a means of circumventing its effectshas encited organized religion and served to shape one of the foundations of human culture.

We've built pyramids to house our dead in the afterlife, constructed terracotta armies to protect them, sacrificed the living in their honor, and even developed preservation techniques to ward off decompositionall in the effort to somehow defy the permanence of death and resurrect at least a part, however intangible, of the deceased person. Ignoring the mysticism and religious fervor of these practices, they represent little more than elaborate burial techniques, which stubbornly remain a part of modern society.

But unlike the miraculous rebirth of one's soul at the hands of Osiris, the practice of cryonics promises the rebirth of a younger, fitter, and not-dead youall through the miracle of future scientific progress.

Cryonics is the practice of preserving "legally dead" human bodies in extremely cold temperatures with hopes that future advances in medical science can revive their corpses and cure what ails themor, at least, extract their memories and consciousness.

The basic idea is that by rapidly cooling the body after the heart has stopped, but before the brain begins to die from hypoxia, the body is rapidly cooled to extinguish the metabolism and halt decomposition. However, unlike short-term suspended animation techniques that are currently being developed to aid in cardiac and neural surgery, traumatic injury, and similar life-threatening emergencies, cryonics freezes you for the long haul.

Not unlike Miracle Max's distinction between the stages of death in The Princess Bride, there is a very fine but very important distinction between "legally dead" and "brain dead" as it relates to cryonics. Cryonics cannot be performed on someone who is still aliveregardless of how ill, the cryonic process would kill them and that constitutes murder. Cryonic preservation practitioners therefore rely on the information-theoretic definition of death rather than the standard, legal definition.

The subject must be deemed "legally dead" by a medical professional, which denotes when the person's heart has stopped beating. Between the time that the heart stops and the brain suffers irreparable damage from oxygen starvation is when the cryonic preservation process must take place, so that the cellular brain function may someday be restarted.

There are a number of facilities in the United States that handle cryonic preservation, including the Cryonics Institute in Detroit, the American Cryogenics Society in Sunnyvale, California, and the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona. Each charges a hefty annual membership fee as well as upwards of six figures to actually preserve your corpse, though you can save a significant sum by preserving only your head or just the brain itself.

Once you're declared legally dead, an emergency response team from one of these facilities first will stabilize the oxygen levels in your blood to maintain minimal brain function during your transport to the cryo facility, as well as pack your body in ice and administer the anticoagulant heparin into your bloodstream to keep your juices flowing.

Being Human: House Hunting

Posted: at 8:40 am

[This is areviewforBeing Humanseason 4, episode 12. There will be SPOILERS.]

-

After four seasons, we know quite a bit about Aidans guilt for the monstrous misdeeds that his hunger has nudged him toward, Joshs fear that his own inner monster will one day overtake his life and everything he loves, Noras worries that she and her husband will never live a normal life, and Sallys newfound fear that she isnt good enough for Aidan, but were not the only ones.

An obviously growing threat during last weeks episode, Ramona elevates her evil beyond expectations, bubbling over after the group steps away from her innocent seeming pleas so that they can go talk at the grown-ups table. Once there, Josh briefs the group on his worries about Ramona following last weeks massacre while Aidan and Sally trade coded lovers looks despite their relationships relative youth. When they return, though, Ramona has departed, only to return when her twin sister, Beatrice, shows up.

Clean and concise, Beatrices insight into Ramonas awful backstory clears up any residual questions about the girls parents and how her ghost wound up in that hidden room, but when Ramona reacts violently to her sisters presence essentially force choking her to death it pushes the gang to run for the exits, setting off the game, as Ramona calls it.

Mixing an icy confidence that all of her new-found dominoes will fall and a general sense of glee over the festivities, young Helen Colliander steels this episode as Ramona, an evil ring leader who is more than a mere corduroy clad ghost and deeply connected to the house. Ramona craves blood, and so, she sets out to extract it by tricking the group members into spilling it themselves.

To do this, she isolates them, pairing them each with a familiar (but not entirely expected) ghost from their past to play on the above mentioned insecurities while slowly driving them to their end, the camera floating and pulsing throughout to signify the nightmare state.

Aidan and Josh get the worst of it, with Aidans vampire off-spring, Henry, singing him to shipwreck by convincing him that atoning for his sins and saving all others from future harm will allow him to truly be with Sally in the afterlife a stake conveniently rolling across the cold basement floor as an increasingly bright white light bathes the room to underwrite Henrys divine promises. Only Sally who figures out Ramonas game before the others can stop him from pushing the stake into his chest, same as Aidan stops Josh from putting a knife into his chest after he his worst fears seemingly come true.

Man suing Google NZ over blog post

Posted: at 8:40 am

A man is trying to sue Google New Zealand for $10 million because its online search engine brings up an unfavourable blog post.

Razdan Rafiq, an undischarged bankrupt, was the subject of a post on blog cqae.co.nz, which labelled him "nutbar" and a "serial moaner".

The post made reference to a Human Rights Tribunal decision about Mr Rafiq and included direct excerpts from his "shrill, abusive and racist" correspondence during the proceedings.

Mr Rafiq "took umbrage" at the blog and filed proceedings against Google New Zealand under the claim that a search on the Google website brings up the blog post.

He is suing Google New Zealand for $10 million for defamation.

"He does not suggest that the defendant itself defamed him," Associate Judge Jeremy Doogue said in a High Court judgment.

"I understand that his argument is that if one framed a Google search in suitable terms, it would lead to a synopsis on the report page."

However, Google has applied for a security of costs, meaning Mr Rafiq must come up with about $10,000 before the case can proceed.

Associate Judge Doogue said Mr Rafiq's case had "little prospect of success" and there was legitimate concern that he couldn't afford the costs.

"Given the extraordinary and obscene communication which the plaintiff (used)... the blogger may very well have a defence of honest opinion," the judgment said.
