Ockham's razor

Descartes doubted everything except one thing: "As I'm thinking, it is clear that there might not otherwise think." It was what is known as "methodical doubt, the doubt as a philosophical instrument used.

Then many people with more imagination than common sense began to doubt everything by habit. "As we know that the senses sometimes deceive us, we can not know if reality is real or a dream, the result of a drug or encantmiento some magical being. "For a long time this question was a real problem widespread epistemological . Until the fourteenth century, in which William of Ockham came with his knife.

Guillermo He stood in front of one of these philosophers I said before and drew his knife. Pointing said: "I'll give you a cut in the jugular and if the senses deceive us will not die" to what the threat did not respond more than cowardly fleeing.

We learned to distinguish the philosophers of and empty verbiage true philosophers.

Note 1: No philosopher was harmed during the making of this post. The author of this blog can not ensure that William of Ockham no more than a stab.

Note 2: This post is a dramatization of what really is the Ockham's razor, but who knows?

Heather Brooke What Is She Doing Now

From the crest of carnations

As it has started snowing in the mountains of Madrid, on Saturday I went to take one eye already on the ground and step inaugurate the skiing season. I leave the car park preserves at about 7:50, no wind, -10 º C outside the car, but the wind chill is not so low. Snow hard / very hard from the meadow of the sleds. I walk up the road to the right of deposit (which goes to the lake) with a stone visible, but passable. Once in the dam, cross the river and climb over side through, because it is all very winded and not much snow, which was maintained up to the hill.

From there, shot right along the road to the lake of the birds, but up "to the Zaragoza" to the hill top. Heavy snow and poor, which change nothing beyond the hill and begin to approach the curbs of Peñalara. Very good snow up to the lake and up the base of the crest of carnations.

Here I take off my skis and put on crampons. Powder snow base some ice / snow hard and some mixed, which makes you have to put some attention to where the floor. After finishing the ridge, walk and climb to criminal and at the top I turn to fit the skis for the descent to the sisters. Snow bad winded and very hard. I continue up the hill from sister and I go to fit skis from here, good with a stone down the track. This week it will snow more, so it promises for the weekend.
