I'm doing my undergraduate research project on this. I think it relates highly to Dan Dennett's lecture on "cute, sexy, sweet, funny". Dennett says sugar is sweet because we require high-energy foods. There is nothing sweet in the apple/chocolate,...
I really enjoyed this speech. Thanks for posting it :)
I agree with pretty much everything this man said. But, honestly, I don't think his conclusion is all that surprising. After all, wouldn't you expect people to be most creative when they are ...
Very, very interesting... Some of the stuff he talked about applies in education too. I've learnt and taught myself so much thanks to being homeschooled and having the freedom to learn about whatever I want, in the way I want, with no particular r...
There are plenty of geeky women out they that are into computer science and and philosophy, you just have too look, some say "There are no girls on the internet" but there are.
ya, just like Athene, he has a boyfriend and girlfriend :D
omg man lol
There is so much truth in this talk!
This is exactly what heppens to me. When I do programming for fun, I always come up with so much more creative ideas, than when I do it for money, because than it's just about being done in time, etc, etc....
This thread has many, many excellent replies. :) As mentioned prior, I suggest doing many things that distract you or logically forcing the question in your head "what do I have to gain by feeling this way?" I know that logic and emotion don't alw...
get urself a Boyfriend
"How to get a girl out of your mind?"
Step 1: Stop asking this question.
Step 2: Get yourself together and find out why you are lacking (e.g. self-worth, self-confidence, or some sort of knowledge/skills)
Step 3: Go out and meet more girls. You w...
Try this: pick another girl you at least think is attractive. MAKE yourself fantasize several times a day about spending time with her, the , with her laughing and smiling at you. Do this repeatedly for several days and see if you don't feel the a...
You don't have to meet girls with same interests as you for it to work. Sometimes it's actually rather dull and boring to have the same interests. Me and my girlfriend have been together for two years now and we have very little in common when it ...
No
Rape her.
This does sound solid. Just walking away from it will let you know whether it's just infatuation or love. Because it does sound like infatuation. If you hardly share hobbies or interests, what chance is there that the relationship will be any good...
In the "move on" sense, or the "bed" sense? :P Clarification would help on that advice, but I suppose both would have their specific applications if you desire the effects.
Try RTS and street fighter. Thinking of strategies and getting out of holes you've dug for yourself really make it hard to think elsewhere. It's gotten me through two breakups and severe depression before (Street fighter is fun with friends, so th...
All of my gal friends have interests as such, they'd probably love you, just get out there and meet people. I've met practically every type of character in this epic opera of life, just give it time,and I bet you will too.
well if you cant stop thinking bout her i suggest...talking with her and getting to know her ...once youve reachedthat your just notthat interesting stage ...things tend to fizzleaway anyway...if they dontthen atleast you made a friendwith someone...
time the only sure thing that works i find is to give it time.
if cant wait find something else to do and find flaws with her.

You wanna die?
Hey, I just saw on the news about an asteroid having a chance of 1 : 45 000 hitting the Earth in 1029 etc, and I wrote my friend if he wants to sleep outside and watch the sky the day it's supposed to fly around us. I'm usually very optimistic about things like that. I can't wait for 2012 to come, so we get some adrenalin, right? But my friend seemed a bit worried of dieing (as it was a big deal) and I got the idea to post that blog.

Patriotism = Bullshit?
Hi everyone,
(I posted that in USA group, but that wasn't the best idea to get attention, so I move it here.)
My name is Michal. I have lived/(been citizen) in/(of) Czech Republic for 16 years, since my birth.
Since the time I've started to be really active on the internet, I live through US election, what's going on with your corrupted government and everything that is from US (as well as the internet I guess?).
When I turn my TV on, I usually watch CNN/MSNBC/Russia Today (RT) and Al Jazeera… Continue

Is NASA lying about Mars?
I just found that video and it shows what happens when you curve the colors from images that NASA shows on their websides.
What do you think?
