5. Is that a real add?
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 04:07 AM by RandomThoughts
I researched the different computers on the market from the 70s on. Don't remember that system in public magazines.

Deltas harm Alphas?

Interesting name, really interesting actually.

There is an entire social philosophy in that name.



That makes sense, the entire concept of Alphas, Betas, and Deltas, from Brave new world, matches a wiki comment on meaning of the religious meaning of that word, if the wiki is correct. However class societies are inherently wrong, when class is not based on some earned effort, and most class systems are based on arbitrary factors like birth lottery, then defended by arguments of placement by previous earned status in reincarnation or generational faults doctrines.


The concept of moderation in all things, or bringing down the high, and bringing up the low, is to avoid conflict, and provide opportunity for mobility within a life, not just denoted by a belief in a persons place being where they are suppose to be. The concept of status quo or people where they are suppose to be is a common effect to allow people to remove any guilt of having luxury when others suffer, so it is in many religions, it is basic empathy breaking concept and is an argument for many injustices. By putting the concept in religion, it many times does not have to be argued as just in the minds of many people.

Side note, untouchables concept actually comes from a spiritual concept, although it is a long topic. And is many times backwards. the evil eye concept is also backwards it is not in the person looking, but from the filter in a person seeing it. (although it can be in both also) So there are many things from that religion I think of as backwards like that.

3. Love these retrospectives!
I wish they'd list the dates of the ads, though (unless I'm missing them).
