		<description><![CDATA[Our election is 13 days away. If you&#8217;re bothered by my political focus lately, please know I&#8217;ll be back to the usual soon. This election is proving to be a referendum on the central tenets of Mindreaders Dictionary. I can&#8217;t resist making the connections. I watch this election from several perspectives.

Some believe that God, the prime mover, knew right from wrong and designed everything to play out the appropriate balance between the two. Others think right and wrong are as old as God but not [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know that it ever helped much; I&#8217;m no superstar. Still, I&#8217;ve stayed a musician. Music has stayed functional in my life.

It&#8217;s an accurate count: the smallest number of units involved in learning anything. Pavlov&#8217;s classical conditioning is learning at its most basic.
