I hope it illustrated the event well. I thought the event was a terrific night. PZ Myers is an able orator, serious and satirical in turns. Thanks for featuring my poster art as well, Mitchell.

]]> Comment on Article: Hume’s Missing Shade of Blue: Found by earwig http://lintbox.com/2008/05/14/humes-missing-shade-of-blue-found/#comment-168 earwig Wed, 08 Oct 2008 23:22:27 +0000 http://lintbox.com/?p=108#comment-168 Ahh you skeptics are so clever. You think that you know everything by doing nothing other than reading other people's opinions. I'll make no statements about the existence or otherwise of orgone energy but having built an 'orgone accumulator' about nine years ago while studding science at university I can say that it does exhibit strange thermodynamic behavior. I find it hard to explain how the inside temperature of the OA could drop below the outer ambient temp and then rise up above the outer ambient temp over the course of a day (twice over two months of study) and in general remain at a constantly higher temp inside than the ambient air outside. Einstein could not explain this either and abruptly ended correspondence with Reich once Reich had proved beyond doubt that the phenomena was real. The mind-body connection was demonstrated by measuring the skin potential of subjects and correlating it to the subjective emotions at the time. Happiness/pleasure = voltage rise, anxious = voltage drop. Seems like a clear mind-body connection to me. I also would recommend some actual reading of his work. As for crystals and orgonite - again a few simple experiments will easily establish that interesting things are occurring. The ice one and plant growth tests are both easy and orgonite is simple to make (or buy). http://www.orgone-art.com/anglais/visibleeffectvegetation.htm Ahh you skeptics are so clever.

My spirit is a vile, horrific entity that requires evidence to support unvalidated claims. Oh, woe is me! Can Orgone perhaps cure me of this dire dependence on empiricism?

DO I HAVE TO MAKE LOTS OF RESEARCHES ABOUT WILHEM REICH TO BE SURE THAT ORGONE IS REAL POWERFUL LIVE ENERGY? No. It is not necessary. Paul surely needs some orgone to calm down a little bit and respect the people who are trying to avoid cell towers from destructing people's mind, like they already did with him.
