I think you missed the point. 1. People recalled as many as possible. 2. People were divided into two groups, control and experimental. 3. Experimental group was asked to retype the words. 4. Control group was asked to go home. 5. Experimen

Has anyone investigated Dean Radin's work? It demonstrates similar statistical effects in a huge number of experiments. He has put forth quantum entanglement as the explanation.

There are operational definitions of death and then there are more philosophical ones. My point is simply that death itself can hold just as much meaning as life because meaning is deeply subjective. No scientific fact changes this. Tomorro

You aren't reading very closely. In vivo desensitization is what you're describing - slowly facing your fears piece by piece. Rejection therapy is something else, where you actually attempt to be rejected X number of times per day. If you a

How do international books fit into this? Lord of the Flies and Tolkien among others are British books. If they enter the public domain in Britain, does that enable Americans to use them even if they are still copyrighted in the US?

Free is a fad. (We should differentiate free in this sense from actual "Free Software" which is a completely different ballgame than what we're discussing here.) Having your customers pay you directly for a service is the natural state of m

"Rejection Therapy" is the inaccurate, possibly dangerous meme version of a real therapy - in vivo desensitization. Conquering fear is done by facing your fears not by intentionally going out with the expectation that things will go bad. P

But what's the point of immortality anyway? Life is just a meaningless sequence of cause-effect relationships. Immortality would mean being trapped by life, eventually you'll explore everything there is to explore in life and be drawn to ex

People in wow ARE creating. That's what makes it so addictive. They are re-arranging the materials of the game to create something they desire. This is the same procedure people use in real life - we rearrange matter and energy to create co

You're just telling us what you personally find meaningful. But this doesn't extend to others. Your argument is about subjective values - you value the superset - but this is wholly subjective as well. Death is a superset of life, therefore

What's the point of saving someone's life when they are just going to get old and die? ("Meaning" is not something that you can prove to others. Many people would find your job meaningless, while you may find it highly meaningful. The point

Meaning is probably the single most subjective concept that exists. You can't tell someone else what is meaningful for them, which is what the OP is doing and you are implying. I guarantee there are people who find WOW to be far more meanin

Caveat: it's very easy to extend the criticism of WoW to life itself. Working all these years to be a paramedic, going to school, going to work, for what? To drive some people to the hospital? They're all just going to die anyway. Life is m

Your verbal virtuosity is vacuous. And I maintain that you don't actually care about the poor. I don't know wtf you're talking about but I do know one thing has been consistently shown to be true: Free enterprise lifts poor people out of po

Rand believes in force. Remember Ragnar Danneskjöld, the philosopher turned pirate? Rand doesn't believe force should be used to create a utopia. She believes that force should be used in self-defense when it is rational to do so - and this
