The Warhol Diet Leads To Mental Diabetes
a: Fame ~
b: Sugar
What: "To a culture, celebrity is like sugar: fun in moderation, deadly if it's all you consume. We are letting one impulse - to vicariously enter the Big Man's entourage - over-ride the others, like the desire to enrich our minds. I have seen some of the best minds of my generation focus on nothing but discussing fame in ever more ironic ways, and they are left with a kind of intellectual diabetes."

And farewell goes out sighing. O, let not

What:
"Aristotle and others (including, especially, Leibniz) have argued that time does not exist independently of the events that occur in time. This view is typically called either "Reductionism with Respect to Time" or "Relationism with Respect to Time," since according to this view, all talk that appears to be about time can somehow be reduced to talk about temporal relations among things and events. The opposing view, normally referred to either as "Platonism with Respect to Time" or as "Substantivalism with Respect to Time" or as "Absolutism with Respect to Time," has been defended by Plato, Newton, and others. On this view, time is like an empty container into which things and events may be placed; but it is a container that exists independently of what (if anything) is placed in it. "

a: Crime ~

What: "As with all complex issues, crime is suffused with metaphors. One common frame portrays crime as a disease, one that plagues cities, infects communities, and spreads in epidemics or waves. Another depicts crime as a predator - criminals prey upon their victims, and they need to be hunted or caught. These aren't just rhetorical flourishes; they're mind-changing tools with very real consequences."

An enzyme is a surface in which molecules are changed because of a lowering of activation energy for a particular reaction. So a crowbar and an enzyme alter the amount of energy need to get something done. One is mechanical the other chemical.

What: "This is why computer analogies of our genome are bad. Our genome isn't a giant control panel packed with million of switches, blinking lights, buzzers, gauges, and chrome-plated knobs. Our genome is like Darwin's tangled bank, an ecosystem filled with elements that have their own agenda in mind. Function is a fluid thing. Regulatory sites wink into and out of existence. Transposable elements pick up transcription factor binding sites, giving themselves an advantage, but they spread those sites around, occasionally leaving something that, with a tweak, turns out to be useful. Function emerges from, and disappears back into the seething genomic jungle." Or dear what a mess. And by the way Darwin didn't invent anything. He just proposed a plausible mechanism for variability between species.
