I mentioned Theory Choice as one of the first topics that comes up. The Demarcation problem is one of the others. The Demarcation problem is, is there a justified definition of science that lets us distinguish between things that are real science, good science, and other things like pseudo-science, or,
The Demarcation problem is one of the others. The Demarcation problem is, is there a justified definition of science that lets us distinguish between things that are real science, good science, and other things like pseudo-science, or, that seem that like they might be sciencey, but they're not?
So although Germany had been united, it was one country and under Hitler it was supposed to be a thousand year Reich, right at the end of World War Two the allies imposed a temporary demarcation line which then gradually became the creation of difference where there was no difference. The institutionalization of violence among neighbors and popular participation in a system that was deeply unpopular.
there was a customs house right here. The demarcation was unfenced, it was invisible, poorly guarded and was basically a chaotic crime zone. And, as Scott had said, it was basically the American military who built the first barriers here to contain this crime zone.
But I will say that I do believe that it wasn't a 30, one-third down the line, because America was different. but this demarcation , I happened to know where it was, I calculated, because there's no line there, there's no sign that it's there, there's no signpost,
Yeah. Very early. I was pre-Beatles. And that was the demarcation there, pre-Beatles, post-Beatles. And once again, a girl led me into that.
So it's really like a jumping off point for to do further research if you see something that's wrong. So this is the demarcation .
And, today, I just wanna give you an example of what happened in judicial prosecutions. So three years after the demarcation line first appears the Western mayor of Neustadt calls for quote, I know this is difficult to read, ìThe immediate strengthening of the Border Police and the creation of an effective system of summary courts." And then he called a meeting with Bavarian official, American officials to define border
Jerry Holkins: invent a race track? Jerry Holkins: That's a point of demarcation there.
that work at the company, but the community and the whole universe. Yeah. I think that demarcation and knowing that in sports arena, there's a clock that goes off and everything's over,
segregated into two groups um having spent a lot of time around futurists in the last 10 years uh there is kind of a demarcation is not as sharp as it is in the book that's very much just a function for the book but there are the people
So after the game, the Soviet commander of Sonneberg announced that the demarcation line would be open for the day. So you have Easterners lining up on the demarcation line, this invisible line, and I find this picture incredible. You have a crowd standing on an invisible line not crossing.
Jerry Holkins: invent a race track? specific-- Jerry Holkins: There needed to be a demarcation .
So, he finds this beautiful solution. And the most amazing thing about his solution is he finds this demarcation , which is the event horizon, which is the region beyond which not even light can escape. And if you were to ask me today, all these decades, over a hundred years later, I would say that is the black hole.
It was not a local initiative. And Communists in the Soviet Zone were planning border events all along the demarcation line in order to unsettle the West, to sort of foment activity on the border. So after the game, the Soviet commander of Sonneberg announced that the demarcation line would be open for the day.
OpenStudy is a very small group that started a couple years ago that is providing free student study groups online where students who maybe are using OpenCourseWare can ask And that has a very clean delineation, demarcation of learning.
I always thought I was the lead actor. Even when I was playing so-called uncle, or I was playing-- this demarcation only happens in India that he's the hero, he's the-- not that I'm sort of trying to be humble about it, but will you call Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Robert De

Yes. Our full selves. But creating that little ritual, even if you started with a 5, 10 minute demarcation line between your day life-- with all
Fair enough. Something else on this point. And you kind of start to see that everything is like, as long as your intentions are honest and you are-- you don't see that demarcation that much.
So after World War Two the allies divided Germany into four occupation zones. You see the Soviet Zone, the US Zone, the British Zone and the French Zone and each of these zones had demarcation lines between them and the laws were the same on each of these borders. Very quickly, this border between the Western zones and the Soviet zones became incredibly problematic.
I created it with two colleagues because movements need tools and ways to come together and share what we know. Instead of saying that generation, or this generation, or people over 65, or people over 40-- I mean, age demarcations are useful,
Jerry Holkins: invent a race track? Mike Krahulik: Yeah. Jerry Holkins: And, I mean, those, those ratings, those ratings get goofy sometimes between M and T. Like there's some strange, you know there's some demarcations there which
