| Description: | A Loose Association is a clinical term often used when describing someone who has a thought disorder. This term is defined on www.biology-online.org as: “a manifestation of a thought disorder whereby the patients responses do not relate to the interviewer’s questions or one paragraph, sentence, or phrase is not logically connected to those that occur before or after.” That’s the nature of this blog. It is meant to random. This is really just an outlet for me to process at the keyboard the random things that pop in my head. Please read and comment frequently. |

I use the term in a general way, but it is apropos because of my line of work. I thought I’d take a moment to describe what a loose association is and talk a bit about schizophrenia. The term loose association is used clinically when assessing the mental

Thoughts on “The Greatest Show on Earth” by Richard Dawkins – Chapter 3 “The Primrose Path t
Chapter 3 discusses examples of naturally occurring evolutionary change. The previous chapter illustrated that humans consciously breed many different species of both plants and animals for all manner of economic and aesthetic purposes. This chapter moves us from artificial selection to natural selection. Dawkins makes the argument that insects “domesticated” flowers long before humans did (along with hummingbirds, bats, frogs etc.). Flowers need a way to transport pollen in order to fertilize other flowers. This is done via luring an agent, such as an insect looking for nectar. When the insect lands, their legs are dusted with a bit of pollen destined to get droppe
