The spider's web is full of straight lines :P

[ANNOMMX]

Interesting. But how do you spell "alphabet" ?

[BarnstoneStudios]

@ANNOMMX  Oops! Myron would have not missed that - but since I set up the videos - my bad.

[y0schi]

Why, Myron, would you not put out your knowledge for free? I've been looking at your videos and you seem very skilled in explaining and I would love to learn more.

Yet online, all I find are short clips and a documentary where you only talk about yourself. I am very saddened by this hindrance of access to knowledge because I am sure an extraordinary amount of people would benefit from your excellent teachings.

1 website with a donation option - & all of your videos for free.

the future

[vargasarte]

Let me ask this:

If a piece of paper rolled over your foot and you realize it's a $100. Would that make you happy? It would me :) Would that make you proud?

To give it away for free would only devalue the efforts made by those who've come before you. I hope you understand.

Visit learn DOT barnstone studios DOT com. There the 10 full classes can be purchased one at a time. I hope that helps to make it easier for you to acquire this knowledge.

I welcome you to the journey.

[y0schi]

@vargasarte Nature doesn't ask for money to use it's trees, the exchange happens without it. To put an imaginary value on knowledge is a hindrance to the development of consciousness. I'm not worried because knowledge will spread itself, with Myron's Lessons or without it. It does not matter.

If you think that much that $100 makes you happy, leave me your paypal address and receive them from me. Maybe you will learn, maybe you won't.

[vargasarte]

Nature doesn't ask for money for it's fruits. But it does require an effort to receive what it has produced.

Doesn't a coconut requires far more effort to acquire it's hydrating water then say an apple does.

Doesn't a beach make it easier to drink gallons of ocean water then say a cup of coconut water? Which one is of more value? --- to a thirsty man. The one that requires more effort or the one that's "free"?

If you're thirsty to learn How to Design a Masterpiece then come an get it.

@y0schi TANSTAAFL. There is always a transfer of one thing for another. The sun provides light to plants. Plants use light and nutrients and transfer it into its own energy and oxygen. Everything has a price. Do you not ask for money when you work? Do your teachers at school work for free or do you pay them? Do they have to pay for food or does the grocery store give it to them?

[y0schi]

@w3bt3k Sure, I'm not saying the exchange medium is useless. I just don't like this type of business-model. I find it overly greedy and missing in value. Compared to khan-academy or the vastness of other teaching resources on the web like wikipedia or tutorial sites, I find this one extremely bleak. barely 1min of explanation and it's already asking for a penny.

The donation-model isn't perfect, more work has to be done than just uploading videos but things like flattr exists for a reason.

[w3bt3k]

@y0schi Do you work for free, sustaining yourself only from donations?

[GraceAnnHawkins]

nitpicking but as a science person I would like to point out that we do see straight lines in crystal formations frequently, but they are short.

[synsei1]

@GraceAnnHawkins Yeah I find this statement weird (no straight lines). What about a spider hanging to its string, or just light beams ?

[w3bt3k]

@synsei1 The segments in a spider web are not perfectly straight. Even gravity has an effect on it.

[synsei1]

@w3bt3k I meant just one string, with a spider dangling from a cieling to it. What about light beams and crystals... What about the surface of the sea, technically it's a curve but you will rather use a ruler than trace a 6000 km radius circle segment to draw it. It's true that straight lines are rare in nature but not non-existent.

[w3bt3k]

@synsei1 After I posted I read that you wrote dangling from a strand. There was another post about a web form @rbernardo1983. But regardless, if one measures all the way to an extreme (micro or macro), nothing is in a straight line, not even a spider hanging from a strand, the edges of salt crystals, atoms in molecules, the paths of elements in an atom. Even light does not travel in a straight line. We simplify things in our minds for a variety of reasons, but in reality they are none.

[bboysnack]

what about crystals,spiderweb

[newcoyote]

Yeah I'm not sure about the straight line thing. I've heard that before and it does not seem intuitively correct unless you are speaking in absolute terms. In that case there are no straight lines period. At this scale where do we draw the line(so to speak).

[rucinter]

In the first place, there's no POINTS in nature. Show me a point that can't be discomposed in smaller units

[MissCartoonist]

I don't understand... could you please explain this to me?

[AvatarTwasCheesy]

@MissCartoonist The part where there's no straight lines in nature?

[starfly5]

Although many things appear to be straight, under closer examination they are composed of smaller lines that ,from a distance ,appear straight.

[SuperGamer87]

I know. People keep jumping to that conclusion. The pride of mankind refuses to let them even consider that maybe there are, and people too often claim the absolutes in this world (universe) as relative and relatives as absolutes. But still, he's giving some good information, but folks should just realize that they shouldn't be so absolute on relative things--you suck all the joy from living in the free universe doing that! But still, this guy gives some very good information.

[SuperGamer87]

I think what they MEAN to say is that there aren't very many PERFECTLY straight lines in nature, because there doesn't SEEMED to be. But there are straight lines in nature--the webbing of spider webs are formed with straight lines, rock strata, light rays (didn't say they had to be visible to the naked eye), and I can go on.

[mrmetro777]

no straight lines in nature??? what about crystals and light rays or the horizon ...a lil confused with this statement...someone please help

[hoptop77]

@mrmetro777 they arnt completely straight

[synsei1]

@hoptop77 Some are even totally gay. You know, light rays make rainbows.
