Holidays are a weird season for me. It seems all things tend to be magnified during these brief periods in our lives. The slightly funny PJ by your friend suddenly secures a howling laughter, your ever smiling neighbor starts showering hugs and merries on you, your annoying little friend seems to be Grinch personified , you get the picture right? Well if you dont, it means you are still sane and jolly, kudos my friends. People seem to embrace Holidays as the on escape from the daily mundane life, a period when indulgence and bliss are to found withough guilt tagging along the sidewalk. And Nostalgia, people seem to be in the good days and remember the good ole days. It fun to tell tales of all the fun we had for th epast Holidays, all the jokes, pranks, gifts, family outings (Yes even they turn a nice shade of pink and feel longing for, i said holidays are weird)

“Everyone likes to think that in the past everything was so quaint, so charming. Neighbors knew each other. Kids didn’t have sex. It’s a freakin’ fairy-tale. Life sucked then, too. It just sucked without indoor plumbing.”` Luke Danes

Looking at the vast planes of El Dura, looking at the rising sand dunes that cloud the sun, looking at the blowing storms that create monster shadows, looking at all this magnificient stretch of land, Citizen Twoke wondered why was he ,always, the unlucky bastard that ends up in the middle of a big barren desert. Who could blame Twoke, except the Fine God who created this piece of barren desert, for cursing out. El Dura was exactly middle of no where, certified and classified by the department of Mathematical Deliberations as-Middle of Nowhere.

It was a tedious process that The Ministry of Mathemarical Deliberations undertook, you know, finding the middle of nowhere. They wouldn’t have undertook the ventures had it not for one stick lean, 6 feet tall, hyper active filing clerk at offcia centrale. That particular clerk has just been transferred from a decade long serving under the ministry of Philosphical Deliberations (yes, the one whose employees insist doesnt exist beause there is a possibilty is will not exist). Robed, Moved and armed with his decade long knowledge obtained from the archaic filings under the Philosophy Ministry the newest variable was welcomed with a huge pile of filings waited to be discarded off as “anamolies 1-6″ or the lucky ones as “probables”. During one of his immense searches through these barricades of mathematical hypothesis that Twoke found the archaic filing by anamolist, Reverend Fourthkey.

Now Reverend Fourthkey was one of those poor souls who was born with a rag in hand in a myriad of plastic garbage piles ,with a smile on his face. His doomed fortune was hence partly not his fault. Growing up on the late planet of foton, citizen Fourthkey was raised to praise the creator for all the magnificient piles of garbage strwen upon him, for it would have been unlucky if they were the pile of garbage. Reverend Foruthkey embraced his faith in creators good fortune with open heart, and fantastic smile. He travelled the piles spreading his idea of fortune and blessed life to truly ignorant, though pitchforks were a frequent companion of his wayward sheep in the conglomerations. On those odd days where no fire, stones or head bangs weren’t involved The Reverend would deliberate on the anaomoly as an act of complete faith and would envy the folk seriosuly for their enlightened state of blissful fulfilment.

As history shyfully indicates, the Reverend would travel extensively to spread his bliss and would known across the worlds-peaceful and cannibalistic. History would also duefully note the moment when he first landed on the dreaded planet of cannibals called *aaah* and how an extinction follwed his departure. History would also have to note the series of moments when the reverend walked the corridors of Mathemetical Deliberations as one among the mathicians. But Fan sites probably would note the Vegan conundrum that arose from the *aaah* phenomena where people wonder was it the dawn of Reverends’ bliss that lead to the vanishing act of cannibals or the dawn of the Reverends’ bliss that lead to cannibalistic wars of despair that lead ot extinction

 

A backstory into the insightful world of the author:

The series is the authors newest attempt at dealing with commitment issues in a creative way, besides not everyone thinks adopting a barking wagging shit machine as the firs step in dealing with commitment o phobia. The sucess of this method can be the pusblishing of the next episodes…ALl ya pshychiatrist -analysts don’t you dare replicate it without consulting fee paid to a certain paypal account

What we have to do for Grades December 3, 2008

An excerpt from a submission that would effectively provide a grade that would be reviewed by erstwhile fat I banks to decide if i can join the frat boys club and smoke cuban cigars some day

CASE STUDY in LOGIC of GENERALIZASTION

We can observe few students in a classroom arriving at Generalizations, to understand the concept. For example a group of 8-9 year olds, working in a mathematics class provide the basis for understanding the idea of Generalization

Students are given a number sequence of the form:  1,2,4,7,11

When the question of finding the next term is put forward, they try to identify a pattern amongst the numbers present. Once the pattern is identified, they make it a general rule and apply to find the next term. Hence the facts are that the terms have a difference as such: 1,2,3,4. Once these facts are obtained the students proceed to apply the generalization and figure the next difference must be “5” and hence the number must be 16

 Here, the students formulated a general concept by generalizing from the common properties of instances provided.

CASE STUDY in STIMULUS GENERALIZATION

Observing the behaviour of few people around, performing their daily activities and observing their response to stimulus can be prime examples for understanding stimulus Generalization. The main idea is to observe a pattern in behaviour and identify the stimuli associated with the pattern. Next various conditions can be stimulated to observe how the subjects react and associate new activities to the existing patterns and in turn how they generalize.  This can lead to identification of various definitions of Generalization provided in the start

 

Subject A has been suffering from a mild case of viral fever for a week. Over the weeks period the subject is prescribed to consume only few loaves of bread and milk, by the family doctor. For over a period of seven days, the subject consumes around 3 loaves of bread every meal. Making it about 84 loaves of bread for the whole duration of his sickness. Once the patient is fully recovered and a period of 1 month has been passes since he has reverted back to a regular diet. When provided with an option of eating a sandwich, the Subject declines most of the time. This is classic example of generalizing based on the stimulus. The Subject A has associated “Bread” with “Sickness” and hence avoids any food material that provokes the thought of “Bread” and hence” sickness”. This is an classic example of TATSTE AVERSION

Findings from the case study and implications

         i.            Humans can recognise a common pattern by generalizing

       ii.            Humans tend to associate a particular stimulus with the rest of its kind by generalizing

The case studies, though minor in their sample size, are valid as they have been observed in general life by almost every one of us. The conclusions drawn are unique in nature

·         We are examining the idea of GENREALIZATON while applying GENRALIZATION to the case study

·         The conclusions drawn might as well be subject to the same deficiencies that the general logic of GENERALIZATION might subject it to.
