- This is an essay on Brian Z. Tamanaha's Law as a Means to an End: Threat to the Rule of Law (2006). For all but the most unflinching consequentialist, 'instrumentalism' tends to draw mixed reviews. So it does from Brian Tamanaha. His book, Law as a Means to an End: Threat to the Rule of Law, documents with measured diffidence the ascendancy and current reign of 'legal instrumentalism,' so.

- N ABSTRACT: This article proposes a revised definition of glossolalia based on the ritual value of incomprehensible speech, which allows for an approach to meaning emergence in non-human languages and the issue of extreme linguistic alterity.

That means this account has existed since I was using Mac OS X 10.3 Panther on a PowerPC machine (I tried earlier versions of OS X but probably still mostly used OS 9 until about then.
Last year my wife and I visited Switzerland.
It was beautiful! The bucolic splendor of Wengen (pronounced VEN-GEN) was ineffable. The romantic architecture of Lucerne melted our hearts and the towering heights of Interlaken were mesmerizing.
Wealthy people might feel a sense of entitlement but as my wife and I sauntered along cobble-stoned walkways, listened to the blithe laughter of children and inhaled the pristine mountain air, I became aware that this is one of the most serene places I’ve ever been in my life.
Thank God I had my loyal Nikon D7000 slung across my shoulder loaded with two capacious memory cards.
I captured everything I could; crouching my body and contorting my head into awkward positions to frame the best pictures.
I’m convinced that the splendor of Switzerland is so majestic that if someone held a funeral against the jagged mountain backdrop of Interlaken, even the elegy would take on an uncanny sense of happiness.
After our euphoric experience overseas, my wife and I returned to New York and I popped my memory cards into my laptop.
And then I felt overwhelmed:
How am I going to organize these voluminous photos on both memory cards?
I had a prodigious sum of images with arbitrary names in no useful order.
Each image had a “DSC_” prefix followed by cryptic string of four digits.
I simply wanted to rename all the photos with the title “Switzerland” and a number counting each image sorted by the oldest on top.
I needed to rename thousands of meaningless DSC photos…
- DSC_8236.jpg
- DSC_8238.jpg
- DSC_8241.jpg
- …
Something like this would have worked:
- Switzerland (1).jpg
- Switzerland (2).jpg
- Switzerland (3).jpg
- …
But who has the time to manually rename each of these files?
Such pedestrian tasks are perfect for computers. Here’s how to pull off a batch photo renaming trick in Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and Windows 7.
Renaming multiple filenames at once
Find your files in Explorer than right click the column header and choose one of the columns from the drop down. You can also click on More for additional sort options.
I’m going to add the column that shows me the date when the picture was taken.
Click the Date Taken column header to change the sort order then press Ctrl + a to select all your files.
We’re about to do something magical hehe.
With everything still selected, press F2 and then type the name you want to supplant all those unruly “DSC_” prefixes.
When you type the name into the box and press Enter, Windows deftly adds the name to each file and appends it with the file number in parenthesis.
And since I sorted by Date taken my oldest pictures are at the top!
Bravo!
By the way if you change your mind just press Ctrl + z to undo the batch file rename.

Renaming multiple file extensions at once
I also should mention that you can concurrently rename multiple file extensions with a slick command line trick. This trick is so smart that it’ll surely have your co-workers transfixed in awe of your keyboard brilliance. haha.
Check it out:
From the Explorer Window press Alt + f + p to open a Command Prompt in the folder you’re currently in.
We’re going to use the plucky ren command to do the heavy lifting for us.
We simply type ren followed by the current extension and then a space followed by the desired extension.
So if I wanted to rename all my JPG images to PNG images I can type:
Bam!
If you can’t see the file extensions in Windows Explorer just press Alt + v + hf and they’ll show up for ya.
I need more control!
If you need more control then I suggest downloading the Bulk Rename Utility (also called BRU by beer aficionados).
Many users are daunted by the interface because the tool rudely throws all the options in your face and doesn’t look very pretty.
I know it’s scary so here’s the quick breakdown:
We can break this screen into three sections.
In the upper left section we have the basic folder browser. Use this to browse to the folder that contains your files. Once you click the folder you want, all the files show up in the upper right section.
The last section with all those scary boxes and options, the bottom pane, contains everything you need to replace, remove, add, move, and basically change the file names in almost any way you can imagine.
The key to making sense of the Bulk Rename Utility is to be dauntless; don’t be afraid of breaking anything because nothing is permanent until you click the Rename button in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Let’s look at all those PNG files in the top right pane again. The two left most columns say Name and New Name.
The Name is the actual file name, nothing interesting here, but the New Name column shows you a preview of what the filename will become after you click the Rename button.
In other words, any changes you make in the bottom pane are instantly reflected in the New Name column so you can see how your files will be affected before you actually rename the files.
That Rename button is like a Save button that makes the filename preview a reality.
Oh, and one more tip: if you make a change that you want to revert just click the R button next to each option in the lower pane to Reset it.
The Bottom Line
You no longer need to be naive when it’s time to rename a bunch of files. Whether you have hundreds of voice memos or a compendium of family photos, you can expertly rename all your files in one sweeping action.
- In Windows 8 just select all, press F2 enter the name and you’re done.
- From the command line you can rename extensions with the slick ren command.
- If you need more power, the Bulk Rename Utility gets the job done quite nicely.

Abstract
Sometimes more is less, even within scholarly writing, known for its all too frequent verbosity. This paper follows approaches that sparingly used words, even to the point of using no words at all. One example of this strategy is a renowned psychology article describing its author’s unsuccessful self-treatment of his own writer’s block, which led to a blank paper (Upper, 1974). Another, in the area of interventions, which are commonly seen as demanding empirical support to evaluate risk-benefit analyses, involved a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of parachutes in preventing deaths. This research was presented, but never conducted—as no controlled trials containing a non-parachute condition could be identified, which again led to a blank paper (Gordon & Pell, 2003). Both of these papers, which used fewer than the minimum number possible for a word count, illustrate the value of research that went less-far than presenting results about null hypotheses to being themselves completely null. Throughout a long career in transpersonal psychology, this paper’s author has similarly called for silence as the only proper response as a scientist toward considering anything labeled as non-dual—and has characterized all attempts to articulate conceptualizations directly about this topic as futile (e.g., Author, 1983, 2002, 2015). This does not mean that all transpersonal notions within psychology are incoherent or worthless, but those that attempt to pontificate directly about ultimate states, such as alleged states (or non-states) of the non-dual (or similar supernatural conjectures that defy empirical efforts required for falsification), reside outside of science’s limits. However, speculations about such notions continue unabashedly within transpersonal psychology. Consequently, in this paper the author painstakingly exhausts every possible good scientific conceptualization about the non-dual from a psychological perspective, but finds none to explicate. This does not discount the value of speculation from non-scientific vantages, such as the legitimate uses of poetry and art to describe and depict the non-dual in imaginative ways not to be taken literally and concretely. It also does not limit psychology as a science from pointing to the possibility of the non-dual, including studying people’s claims—and their concomitants about such a possibility, but psychology as a science has not yet meaningfully engaged directly in exploring this topic, and it appears thoroughly outside of any cogent scientific framework to entertain. Although this paper is written as succinctly as possible, readers are encouraged to take in the vast scope of this inquiry’s unstated implications in order to arrive at their own conclusions, and to consider deeply whether there might be any value in continuing efforts within transpersonal psychology, as Watts (1972) proudly proclaimed, “to say what cannot be said, to eff the ineffable, and to unscrew the inscrutable” (p. xiii). Perhaps it would be desirable to conclude that this paper constitutes the last word on this troubled subject, but not a word is offered, as even one word would be too much—so there is no last word. Alas, only silence suffices for conceptualizing the non-dual from the limited framework of science.
