hmmmmm..... In the philosophy of alchemy, a Taoist want to keep the furnace burning all the time to produce the energy, so to speak. Why would one wants to lower the temperature of the body....??? IMO If one can maintain the increase of the body heat, then it means you are doing the right thing. One rather have to release the excess of heat than lowering the body temperature on demand. Lowering the heat is the least thing that one wants to do to the body.

Why did Zhuang Tze write the irrelevant parables like this. What are the wind, trees, orifices, different shapes of objects and the sounds all about.....??? Metaphorical interpretation: The wind is the one who spoke first about a subject. Thus all kinds of people respond with a different voice by given their opinions, facts, fallacies, preconceived ideas as their basis for argument. One always try to use one's point of view to deny others by quibbling with all the minor details from their own recollection. Sometimes, people were still insisting that they are right, with a final word, by ignoring some new facts learned or just facts . After an endless argument with all the words were told and heard, some will agree, disagree, not sure, happy or upset. Then, all the sudden, everybody comes to a halt with complete silence.

Sorry, it took me so long to come to my senses about this Chapter. I think this chapter is the most difficult to comprehend. Let's look into its title: 齐物论(齊物論,The Physical and Conceptual Equalities) The title 齊物論(齐物论) needs to be broken down to read 齊物 and 齊論. 齊物 is the physical equality and 齊論 is the conceptual equality. Zhuang Tze was saying that each of the physical things has a physical description and a conceptual description and they must be unanimous to become facts. Therefore, if we can get the facts straight, then, we shall not have any argument about it. The most people have many different views about one thing. However, if they have putted both the physical and conceptual descriptions together, then it might become more lucid and many unnecessary arguments can be avoided.

It was more or less to the MODS. I didn't think that the quotes from the ancient philosophers had caused any harm. My main concern was the signature that was involved but it is no longer an issue.

A spider is part of Nature, why should a sage be spider-phobia.......???

It seems "Interference" has an adverse effect on "Wu Wei".

Are you fooling yourself or us.....???

Not electrically.

Perhaps, you should remove it to show some maturity......!!!

You know, it's really makes no difference of what kind of material was used on each floor. It is because there was no zero potential in the building. Unless there is an one inch copper bar was installed throughout the building to establish a zero potential grounding point; and you must have a ground strap tied to your wrist to be effective.

Okay....!!! I rest my case. Though, it was an unfinished business. It was no fun talking to someone with an evasive character.

Thank you for your compliment and slapped me in the back of my head at the same time.... First of all, I wouldn't insult somebody's intelligence. I was only trying to be demystify. I'd worked with many engineers, most of them were as you have described but it was not what they had learned. It was the incorrectness of application or lack of experiences and their care free attitude like "I'll let somebody else take care of it." Since you have cited some of your experiences, I'll do the same. It would be more appropriate to use the "grounding" example here. As you know, there are two types of electrical signal grounding in electronics. They are a "single point" and "differential" groundings. We have a problem with noise in a piece of test equipment. We have the chief engineer, system engineer and the design engineer looking at the problem. I mean just looking at it but not looking into the problem. Since you are an electronic engineer, I let you figure this one out and tell me where the noise problem came from.

Lao Tze: "One must enter confusion, in order, to exit confusion." Zhuang Tze: "The uselessness of confusion may be the usefulness for helping to sort out the facts."

Brian: You know, my engineer teacher used to making jokes about the physicists when discussing some theories. That was why I've sensed you as one. You are a dead give away...... What kind of material is used for the floor....???

It is something just happens inside the body from the signals of the brain. All the electrical pulses are fired by the release of the energy from ATP. If the ATP do not release the energy, then your muscles will never move nor contract.

I guess that is why they call it the natural instinct. There is no need for you to know which might delay your action.

I would like to say the same to you. I am a retired electrical engineering now. I thought I was one anyway. Since you had mentioned that I'm not, then I really don't know what I am. It is not important now. I had BSed my way through my profession and earned an honest living. Good thing I am retired now. I can do more BS if I want and who cares about me now........

I would say it depends on the clothes with the made material. However, our bodies are good conductors until we were burned to carbon to increase the resistance and act like a resistor. Then, the bodies are no longer a good condector. FYI You can make the correction right at the spot yourself.

Yes, it is only language issues alright; but the language between theoretical physics and practical engineering rather than English or Chinese.

Neurons fire only when the brain sends a signal to do a particular thing. For example, when you want to move a finger or contract a muscle, signals will be sent to those areas to fire up the neurons.

All three factors can be variables. I=V/R is a constant voltage source. The voltage must be constant, in order, for the variable magnitude of the current to be controlled by the resistance. V= IR is a constant current source. The current must be constant, in order, for the variable magnitude of the voltage to be controlled by the resistance. PS...... @ Brian ----- By the way you talk, I had detected that you are a physicist by intuition. This is why I've called myself as a grokking Taoist.....

Greeting, Brian.... What is your background.....???

Yes, if you have "to be said" so, then it's really getting to my "stomach"................

According to ohm's law: If you have a good regulated DC power source with a variable resistor connected to it, then, only the current will be changed with the resistance but voltage will remain constant. Unfortunately, if you have power source like you have described, I think you should go get your money back..... Yes, let's be more practical..........

Okay.... That is how a DC motor works. I guess I was talking about the external power source.
