A one stop service for moving. Connecting/disconnecting utilities, address change, car registration, new laws I should be aware of. End the piecemeal.

No medical background here, but I've had that same thought myself. I know it's completely unethical to prescribe a placebo (and I assume knowing it is a placebo erases said effects) but how nice would it be to have the ability t

Interesting that you mention blindness. The National Federation of the Blind first condemned people-first language in 1993. It really does depend on the group, however in my area of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) there is

Nope, it is justified. People-first language is a subtle, but psychologically affecting issue. I.e. Saying "teenagers with Down syndrome" instead of "Down syndrome teenagers" You have a disability, you aren't define

Look at real estate prices. There was an article I read not too long ago that showed the areas in NYC with more trees and greenery also command higher rents. Also on a completely anecdotal level I feel more "at ease" and less anxi

Feeble minded? Christ. Oh the horror of someone trying to better themselves with a 0 side-effect $10 book that in some instances can be more effective than antidepressants . https://aeon.co/essays/can-self-help-books-b

Curious as well. I've noticed no benefit in any area with probiotics, although his post did say "huge doses".

No, no, no, I'm not advocating for that at all. Rather, trying to be the slightest bit aware of what the sewage of thoughts in your head consists of.

I think depression is a beast with many intersecting roads. The chemical imbalance seems like it could be more the result of something than the root cause.

The "chemical imbalance" theory has been losing steam for quite some time. The British Psychological Society has issued this consensus statement: There is actually no evidence for the current view – and we agree with many senior

Not even close to suicidal.

Thank you very much for this. I have some very deep-seated subconscious beliefs that have really affected my life for the worse. Meditation has helped me be aware of them and their nature, but I still need to figure out how to fight back.

Same sentiment here. It can be hard to find motivation when you realize how fleeting everything is. I always enjoy reading the Graham essay though, and trying to balance my awareness of time and not getting crushed by it.

Any recommendations for a great documentary on this fascinating plane?

Eh-- pick your battles. If family members get a positive placebo effect from listening to "5 Hours High Quality BEST 432hz Meditation Healing Chakra" on YouTube...Who cares?

I wonder how much (if any) the lax enforcement of anti-trust law has played into this.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit. Very downvotable anecdote here but... My mom is a vegetarian and was before/during pregnancy. This was before prenatal fish oil and DHA/EPA supplements were all the rage. I'm vegetarian m

I appreciate the list and encouragement, but "trying not to have thoughts" goes against most meditation teachings. It's more along the lines of "trying not to react to thoughts"

What's next? Are you going to account for the cost of making water? Not the bill you pay to the utility for use, but the actual cost of formulating water? What about air? How about the cost of creating a sun if you rely on solar power?

Agreed, it really is a fascinating experience to look back on your thoughts. Somewhat related: http://lifehacker.com/the-psychological-benefits-of-writing-...

Maybe the farm lobby generally supports deregulation legislation and other "pro-business" agenda.

Not to mention people have a tendency to read deeper when its a paper book rather than an e-book. http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-09-18/your-paper-brain-and-y...

Does anyone else not care to know what makes music sound good and enjoy the mystery and emotional complexity of it?

Note he said better rather than increase. Better could mean anything from maintaining current output with less costs to increasing the quality of your crop.

I don't know about straight quantity. There's definitely a balance. For example: my roommate and I both write songs in our free time. He goes for quantity (around 6 songs a month), me quality (1-ish song a month). I'll spend

Churches. I currently tutor a formerly homeless man whom I met through an Episcopal church. They saw him sleeping outside the front door and took him in. They connected him with low income housing services who found him a subsidized apartme
