E-bikes rolling forward…slowly

…consumers don’t know what to make of them. Biking is still seen primarily as a form of recreation and exercise in the United States, not a mode of transportation. Bicycle infrastructure, such as dedicated lanes, is woefully lacking. Cycling enthusiasts view e-bikes as cheating. Car drivers view them as a downgrade. And the mainstream probably mostly just views them as an oddity.

Figments and manifestations

Does one’s experience of reality depend upon one’s notion of existence? From The Spooky World of Quantum Entanglement:

One of the leading figures of quantum physics, David Bohm, had a more deterministic approach, arguing that the quantum world can exist independently of the human mind: “In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe. Indeed, the attempt to live according to the notion that the fragments are really separate is, in essence, what has led to the growing series of extremely urgent crises that are confronting us today.” The Buddhist Mahayana Sukta says: “All such notions as causation, succession, atoms, primary elements, that make up personality, personal soul, Supreme Spirit, Sovereign God, Creator, are all figments of the imagination and manifestations of mind.”

“Inclimate” weather is merciless

Gene Buckley emailed to point out the widespread adoption of the eggcorn inclimate weather, which has 11,000 whG (web hits on Google), or 2,567 whG/bp (web hits on Google per billion pages). The original phrase inclement weather has 173,000 whG or about 40,372 whG/bp, so the original is only about 16 times commoner than the eggcorn. This is a genuine folk-etymology-in-progress, not a simple misspelling, since the morphologically incoherent “incliment weather” and “inclemate weather” have only 719 whG and 73 whG respectively.

Harry Beck’s Iconic Map Beck realised that when you’re on a train travelling underground, your geographical location is not what matters to you. The important thing is knowing how to get to your final destination, and where to change from one line to another. On his own initiative, Beck used this idea to create a revolutionary new kind of map, inspired by electrical circuit diagrams and sewer plans.

'Going Muslim'

FROM THE ARTICLE:

We don’t have to be paranoid about Arab males; we just have to avoid the opposite: Being fearful of coming across as Islamophobic, and thereby failing to look straight at a situation.

…

The integration compact depends on a broad trust that the immigrant’s desire to be American can happily co-exist with his other forms of racial/cultural/religious identity. Once that trust doesn’t exist, America faces a problem in need of urgent resolution.

Let the first lesson of the Hasan atrocity be this: The U.S. Army has to be a PC-free zone. Our democracy and our way of life depend on it.
