The Secret to Sleep Pills:
Amnesia.

From an interesting recent NY Times article on how the mattress industry wants to get in on the act:

In one six-week trial, for example, people taking Ambien every night fell asleep, on average, only 23 minutes faster than those taking the placebo. They spent 88 percent of their time in bed asleep, as opposed to 82 percent. Given that their objectively measured improvements are frequently this meager, why do sleeping pills create incommensurate feelings of having slept so well?

A popular theory is that one of the pill’s side-effects is actually contributing to their success. Most sleeping pills are known to block the formation of memories during their use, creating amnesia.


I never feel more like I'm living in some sci-fi version of a dystopic future than when I come across a pharmaceutical ad while I'm out in public. Happened in the break room at work the other day. On a plasma screen tv. Tuned to the Fox News channel.

Spam Blast from the Past
Update: reports are coming in that Ben Jackson is now going by the name of Charles Coldman. Either that or he found some suckass doofus to join his downstream.


Just got this email this morning. I'd been job-hunting recently so I figured it was some MLM jackass trolling one of the job boards. Then I noticed the email address it was sent to my old UC address. Then I notice the date. Those UC mail servers may be slow, but they're persistent:



Hell, Ben has probably moved on to Jackson@free-ruby-wholesale-millionaires.com by now. Or Jackson@Dairy-Queen-Asst-Mgrs.com.

Sailing from Byzantium
Read a New York Times Magazine article at work today on Antony Flew, a British philosopher who made a name for himself 50 years ago arguing for atheism who's now embracing belief. From the article:

But is Flew’s conversion what it seems to be? Depending on whom you ask, Antony Flew is either a true convert whose lifelong intellectual searchings finally brought him to God or a senescent scholar possibly being exploited by his associates.


I guess what is true of contemporary poets is true of contemporary philosophers, too:

Byzantium is no place for old poets. That's long been understood. When a poet is ready to collect his laurels, he slouches toward Bethlehem.


There's too much internet porn in the world to waste time with theological arguments.
