Pondering the Law of Ceteris Paribus Philosophically

June 25, 2010 by Jon

I came upon an article on the EPhilosopher news regarding the Metaphysics of Ceteris Paribus Laws that made quite a lot of sense and was nice to ponder. The term Ceteris Paribus is Latin for all other things being equal stating the generalizations that science in all it’s history has placed upon certain aspects of science as a whole. But pondering the said term and it’s literal meaning it comes under great fire for many matters on this earth and even the sciences that aims to quantify it has evolved into a science of exceptions meaning that the rule doesn’t apply because….
This might be so for science is never constant as time is and that everything is evolving into something that we don’t know yet. Science has blessed us with many a wonder yet science itself seems to always re-define what it has already termed as known or defined. We humans have a never-ending quest for discovery and re-discovery and something that seems impossible should never be termed as so, someone just hasn’t figured out a way of doing it……
So the term Ceteris Paribus is a fundamental foundation for something that is termed to be an analytic truth which in science terms if definite, defined, final. Or is it???? Thanks to the people who continuously form, challenge and subsequently change the definitions of everything else for in the process we gain a little more understanding of our purpose on this earth which as scientists say is just one of millions if not billions of possible inhabited planets in our solar system alone
(Let us just hope that the beings on those other worlds are thinking of the same stuff we are).

More Readers Equals More Traffic

August 18, 2008 by Jon

The goal of any site owner is to get hits or traffic, whichever is more convenient to note. But to get them, marketing tactics similar to businesses in the modern day must be used. Sites rack in traffic through word of mouth or better yet, the various Search Engine techniques like link building, commenting and social bookmarking. If you want to put up a good site, the key is making it found through the readers.

Another virtue in Internet Philosophy is the element of time. A site normally takes a month to be crawled and included in the search engines, assuming you have submitted it and done the normal practices of building links towards your site. The task is not easy. There are established sites who may not care about your site and hence is a gamble as far as getting the nod of incoming links.

Search engines such as Google assess your site and make sure that links are qualitative and relevant to your site. So when you build links make sure they have something to do as far as your site is concerned.

Site submission is something that is important as well. You must make sure that the proper category is chosen to ensure that you are in the right area of concern.

The same goes for social bookmarking. You have to be careful in submitting and making sure you gain the interest of other social bookmarkers. Make friends and vote for other bookmarks as well. This way, they know you are not only there for the attention.

Put all these thing together and you will have gotten majority of the essence of the philosophy of the Internet. The next thing you will know, your site is among the tops on the web.
