I am a Reverend now!!!

  I have been an atheist for most of my life. I have never truly believed that God exists or such thing. More recently, I have started looking down upon people that do believe in God. Not a hatred kind of looking down upon them, but rather a pitiful look down or maybe even a cuter look down upon. Like when you see a child earnestly insisting that Santa Claus exists. You pity the child's ignorance and you find it cute, but secretly you also get a bit tense knowing that his/her ignorance cannot last very long. And, you wonder if that earnest child could really handle the news when it hits them hard.

  So, in summary all I am saying is, people who believe in a God are stupid. They should grow up and really think hard about what they mean when they say they believe in God. Half of them will mutter and sputter and fail to come up with what they really believe. Most would say something asinine like "I am sure there is something out there" or "There will be chaos if nobody is running the universe" or some such crap. For whatever reason, I have started thinking about this subject more after coming to US. The virulent and racist God that these idiots pray to makes my blood boil and I have truly started seeing how stupid the whole concept is really. There will be people who say "Well, maybe the christian thinking is wrong, but our God is better". SCREW YOU ALL IDIOTS.

  Anyway, the entire logical argument against God is perhaps beyond the grasp of most small minded people. You may only be successful in probably putting a chink in their armor of stupidity. And you can do so by pointing out the fallacy in their arguments. And I think I have found a great argument recently.

  For some time now, I have been following the Flying Spaghetti Monster movement. Aaaaargh. But, only quite recently have I jumped full fledged into it. So much so that I paid $20 to become a minister in the church of flying spaghetti monster. So, henceforth, you can call me Reverend Dr Krishna Dev. From time to time, I may enlighten you with FSM gospel. Heck, I may even give a sermon or two if I am invited to do so. Somehow, becoming a Reverend in the church of FSM has made me happy. I feel I am doing my part in removing stupidity from the world. If I can get one more person to give up his/her stupidity, I would be even more happy. There, I have already started proselytizing... Reverend indeed!!

My Shawshank Redemption

      I submitted my thesis today, and strangely I feel sad. I do not feel happy or even relieved. When I started my PhD, I thought by the end of it, I will feel like Norgay or Hillary and be on top of the world. I thought it would be a great success, and something never attempted before. But alas, all I feel is what Andy Dufresne might have felt like after escaping the Shawshank prison. My whole PhD has been nothing but a prison for my scientific spirit, incarcerated for all the wrong reasons. The writing of the thesis has been nothing less than Andy's escape from prison, crawling through 200 metres of sewerage. At the end of itall I feel is, "Well... I am free, now I have to bathe and cleanse my system to start afresh". Those are my thoughts exactly. At this end of the PhD, I feel like a fool undergoing all the stupidity and mediocrity. What meaning is left in PhD, I wonder.       I am sick and tired of it, and I do hope the damn thing gets accepted. Well, even if it i...

Alien Invasion

      I was watching another alien invasion movie today. And I feel that this whole Martians/venusians or Alpha centaurians are vulnerable is a big problem with the whole genre. I believe that no civilization can really discover space travel without first discovering the secrets of health and disease. And if they have discovered that, then it is only a matter of time before they realize that they dont need huge machines and energy expensive robots and exoskeletons etc. All that they will do is send an earth-rover initially equipped with a small biological specimen collector/analyzer and find out the genetic makeup of earthlings. Once they do that, they will obviously realize that humans are susceptible to a lot of diseases. They dont need to understand english, they dont need to communicate with us (who the hell except us wants to anyway ?). It is our (rather Hollywood's) stupidity to think that Aliens would come to Earth and stand before us and in a comma...

Theory of Love

      This post has also been a long time in coming. I firmly reject the stupid notion that our emotions are anything other than chemical reactions occurring in the brain. So having all the hocus pocus of 'souls' and spirits etc out of the way, we can concentrate on the chemistry of neural activity. And when speaking of emotions, what better emotion than the most exalted and mysterious of these, 'love'. What the hell is it, by the way ? Hmm, its like being punched by the invisible man, you can feel it, but you cannot explain or predict it.      The 'punch in the face by invisible man' hypothesis of love is very apt for a discussion of the neurochemistry of love. Because every emotion has to have a sensory input, and no emotion can exist in vacuum. So, the real question we must ask ourselves is this : "What is the mechanism of formation of 'love'-like emotions in the brain ?". Is it different for 'love' of a laddoo for e...
