Even without any knowledge about meditation it should be clear that attention control = brain activity, brain activity = brain rewiring (relearning). Rewired brain = different behavior and different thoughts. One meditation may yield insign

How is this going to work, if, in case you would be trying to be a politician yourself in order to fight the injustice, by the time you have any influence, you are already motivated to increase the surveillance, not cease it. Problem is m

If the experiments on monkeys would lead to a medicine that would improve life of millions, would you still ban it "for the sake of humanity"? Ethics sure have its place, but it must not hinder the vital progress. Today you save m

I think it's not the value of data should be reduced, it's the cost of access to the data should be increased. If it would be too expensive to watch everyone, they would naturally stop doing that.

Your example does not preserve size, because it makes Arabian peninsula (area ~2.3 million km2) look almost as big as Europe (area ~10 million km2). Also compare India with Australia. I think this map preserves shape and direction, but not
