"In a world of practical considerations, things which cannot be quantified are often ignored. But, following Aristotle, many think that the value of thinking abstractly has the benefit of character formation. If so, it is at our peril, including in terms of practical benefits, that we ignore ideas and philosophies which are not immediately relevant to daily life.
"Plato said the unexamined life isn't worth living," Kurt Vonnegut once quipped, "But what if the examined life turns out to be kind of a clunker as well?"" info@als-alexander.orgor interalex1@yahoo.com

"Running at the highest level is incredible technical, but even the top athletes make basic misjudgements that effectively cost them medals.
Some athletes tense up and fail to relax in the heat of battle, others make sluggish starts or - worse still - bolt from the blocks too early and are disqualified altogether.
But one of the most agonising sights in the sport remains seeing an athlete dominate a race, put themselves in a perfect position to clinch glory, only to chuck it all away by failing to dip at the line.
While there is some difficulty in timing the lunge towards the line perfectly, failing to do so altogether can be fairly regarded as negligent when it comes to performing at the highest level." info@als-alexander.orgor interalex1@yahoo.com
"Observations with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have revealed a massive cloud of multimillion-degree gas in a galaxy about 60 million light years from Earth. The hot gas cloud is likely caused by a collision between a dwarf galaxy and a much larger galaxy called NGC 1232. If confirmed, this discovery would mark the first time such a collision has been detected only in X-rays, and could have implications for understanding how galaxies grow through similar collisions.
An image combining X-rays and optical light shows the scene of this collision. The impact between the dwarf galaxy and the spiral galaxy caused a shock wave – akin to a sonic boom on Earth – that generated hot gas with a temperature of about 6 million degrees. Chandra X-ray data, in purple, show the hot gas has a comet-like appearance, caused by the motion of the dwarf galaxy. Optical data from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope reveal the spiral galaxy in blue and white. X-ray point sources have been removed from this image to emphasize the diffuse emission." info@als-alexander.orgor interalex1@yahoo.com
