Auburn Poets and Writers Page poetry reading tonight at WestWords. I read 2 poems and told a lie, a story to trick people.

There were a wonderful group of poets offering very powerful poems beautifully and skilfully performed.

Goethe - "He who cannot draw on three thousand years [of history and culture] is living from hand to mouth."

From the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

I love one of the Irish origin stories of the jack-o-lantern.

Jack bragged he was such a good fight he coukd beat the devil. Devil heard and took up the challenge.

They bet was if Jack won he wouldn't go to hell. They fought for about a week and Jack won.

Knowing he wouldn't go to hell Jack lived a very free life, sinning.

When he died heaven wouldn't let him in. So he wandered for a while but it wasn't pleasant.

So he went hell but the devil said he had to honour the bet so woukdclet him in. As Jack was leaving the devil gave him a turnip to eat on his travels and threw a coal of hell to light his way which Jack carried in the turnip because it was too hot.

Pumpkin are from the Americas so they were added later.

This is funny and brilliant reminder that the USA has coopted the name "American."

Doctors kill. Better, the humanity of Doctors kills, as do the "natural" alternatives, so how to decide what to do about sickness and to be healthy?

I think science is still a better answer than folk medicines from centuries ago or from cultures where the rituals of knowing give credence to subjectivity and anecdotes over statistical testing.

The scientific method has developed through long traditions through thousands of years of history.

Animal bodies (including humans) are among the most complex systems we know of. Science, as we do it, is great for simple material systems.

Science acknowledges that logic is limited. Like it seems logical that an immunity response strengthened by a low dose of a defeated toxin that leads to an effective vacine might lead to being strengthening from low dose of any poison. It doesn't because some poisons build up in our system. Logic is based of assumptions that can be the wrong place to start.

Thus we test every idea with nature, because nature is non-linear and chaotic though ordered. And nature doesn't care what you believe or logic.

The mind body system has all kinds of influences from society, psychology and relationships, plus, of course, physical realities that influence our health, fitness and dis-ease.

A rational health system would start with placebo (which includes hypnosis remembering thatvits not reliable because the complexityof the mind body relationship is not well understood yet), then drugs, and finally surgeon; except in the case of accidents, like breaking anything and being shots.

BTW latest research shows placebo still works even when done honestly. All drugs on the mainstream market are tested against placebo, as they should be.

Tradition tribal medicines magnified the real potency of herbs and fungi with the placebo of ritual, thus addressing mind and body together.
