One Year Later, the Belated End

I think that when exactly one year passes without updating one's blog, it is a perfect moment to declare it officially dead. Of course, unoficially it has been dead for a long time, and probably none of my old readers is still checking this; but it is better anyway to have a proper closure, if not for anything else, at least to avoid random Google searchers thinking that the main focus of the blog was chess. So hereby I declare Reality Conditions officially defunct.

As a last bit of retrospective navel-gazing, and to ease the work of future searching and referencing, I am including here an index of my favourite posts.


Physics and Philosophy of Physics:


- Relational Quantum Mechanics (and the follow-up Taking back my words)

- Landscape chat

- On Price on the Arrow of Time (and the follow-up On Price (and Penrose) on Time Asymmetry in Quantum Mechanics)

- On not taking a stance

- Book Review: Paul Davies, Cosmic Jackpot

- Lagrangians, Hamiltonians, and Scientific Realism

- Report on the Quantum Gravity School: the discussion

- Quantum Mechanics in words of one syllable

- Loops 07: Conference report (part 3, including discussion session)

- Quantum Gravity Colloquium: the discussion. (QM vs. QG: the Grudge Match!)


Philosophy, Religion and Philosophy of Religion:


- Book Review: Thomas Nagel, The Last Word

- Are Evolution and Theism Compatible? (and the follow-up More on the compatibility of evolution and theism: Reply to Pruss)

- Chalmers, Dennett, and the Zombies

- Atheism, Religion, and Rationality; or, do you think that all those who believe in God are stupid?

- An examination of Dawkins’ “Ultimate 747” argument


Fun stuff:


- Weirdest Google Search leading someone to this blog (so far)

- What people search for here

- Mathematicians and computers

- Book review: Neal Stephenson, The Baroque Cycle

- Upstuff

  • At Merrik: I didn't include tat post because I ended up not being very proud of it, because I don't think I managed to argue well enough for my case to prove it (though I still believe I am correct). So you should be happier that I didn't include it...

    Changcho: Gracias!

  • How Parazapper can Help for Diarrhea
    In Bangladesh, every year many poor children are affected by Diarrhea. A NGO published their collected survey data. Every year rural children are affected by diarrhea 4.5 times and 230,000 children die, where 8287 children are under five years.
    Recently, in some years this condition has changed. Most poor people are aware of the disease and their economic condition has developed.
    Govt. and some NGO are working on this field for improved awareness about Diarrhea and already added diarrhea topic with text book and NGO giving training voluntarily.

    Diarrhea infection has some causes. Different types and ages of people are affected by the disease and different virus. Children under 5 years are mostly affected by the rotavirus. Adults are more commonly affected by the astroviruses. Virus and bacteria both are responsible for the disease.

    Prevention:
    Rotavirus vaccine can decrease the rates of diarrhea in people. Proper hand washing and fresh food is effective for prevention of diarrhea.
    David Etheredge has innovated a LVPEF device that kills many microbes in water, which is called ParaZapper™. It can eliminate bacteria and other microbes from water within as little as 2 hours.
    I was found effective news on that site. There has lot of information about ParaZapper™ device.

    For additional information see: http://paradevices.com
    ParaZapper products are sold at http://huldaclarkparazapper.com

  • HowPure Keto Cleanse do you know if you are heading in the right direction? You do this by regularly evaluating and analyzing how your behavioral goals are going. Have you achieved a behavioral goal? Then reward yourself with something fun. If it does not go the way you want, it is important to find out which obstacles hinder your success.
