A Challenge to Atheists: Come Out of the Closet - Except

hunsonisgroovy:

“…a recent article by Paul G. Bell in Mensa Magazine provides some straws in the wind. Mensa is an international organization open only to those of high measured IQ. Not surprisingly, therefore, its magazine displays an interest in questions of intellectual ability. From a meta-analysis of the literature, Bell concludes that:

Of 43 studies carried out since 1927 on the relationship between religious belief and one's intelligence or educational level, all but four found an inverse connection. That is, the higher one's intelligence or education level, the less one is likely to be religious . . .

The four exceptions didn’t show the opposite, of course. They merely failed to show statistical significance in either direction.” —source

NEIL YOUNG SINGS FRESH PRINCE

Sometimes there’s a song so meaningful, so hauntingly beautiful - it compels Neil Young to come onto Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and cover it. Tonight, one such song inspired a legend.

Earlier this month, Francis Ford Coppola, the director of “The Godfather” said at the Beirut Film Festival that “the cinema as we know it is falling apart.” He also predicted several of the studios would go out of business.

Of course, not all of your industry’s problems were caused by the Web. Hollywood has paid creators handsomely over the years and costs have skyrocketed. Then there’s the problem with Blu-ray. Iger noted that consumers aren’t upgrading their DVD collections with Blu-ray discs to the degree that the industry had hoped.

But if you’re really inclined to wag a finger, there is nothing disrupting your business more than the Internet. The MPAA has worked hard to force file-sharing sites out of business or push them to the Web’s fringes. At first, the studios tried to kill file sharing with lawsuits. Then they hired security firms, such as MediaDefender and MediaSentry, which promised to discourage file sharers by blocking or slowing the sharing process. None of that worked.

Here’s the problem with the MPAA’s approach. It will NEVER work. Preventing progress is not the answer. Embracing and welcoming it is, and where possible, capitalizing on it.
