As far as I can tell, there's no need to do anything at all to keep people passive and obedient. Most people seem to be born that way. They're kinda zombie like. Don't believe me? Look at the Stanley Milgram experiments.

Why can't we blame ordinary people for being so dumb?

Personally, I would love to pay more for magazines and newspapers without any advertising whatsoever. Advertising always seems to have some influence on what is reported. A newspaper or magazine will be very reluctant to say anything very n

> Modern nutrition seems like an endless merry-go-round mindfuck. (Not saying non-modern is any better of course) Agree. I can see two reasons for this. One is that all humans are biochemically unique. A diet that works well for one pers

I wonder when they will stop with this one-size-fits all advice? I guess it's because of this ideal that all humans are equal that pervades our culture, which causes many to assume that all people are fundamentally the same. However, e

Yup. Here's a "scientific paper" that shows that dairy does not cause heart disease: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/93/1/158.abstract Paid for by the Dutch dairy industry...

It's of course bad that this sort of thing is happening (assuming it is true), but I cannot say that I have that much sympathy for the guy. He's a muslim. Islam is an intolerant religion (look at how they treat gays etc.). Indirec

I think the most dangerous people in the world are self-righteous idealists who wants to do good. They often end up causing lots of harm. Although, I do see that idealism can be good in some situations.

I'm skeptical. For example, in my bedroom, I have 2 cabinets. A while ago, I moved my socks and underpants from one cabinet to the other. Afterwards, I kept going to the "old" cabinet every morning for quite a few days. I&#x2

If I had seen this story on The Onion, I would have laughed, and thought "that would never happen in the real world". But here we are. In the real world. My mind is blown. Just WOW.

This monitor would make it a lot easier for me to fall asleep at night! The bluish light from normal monitors supresses melatonin, and thus disturbs sleep - making it hard to fall asleep at night, and hard to get up in the mornings...

You have a valid point. But I guess using a Javascript blocker like NoScript will solve this problem?

I wonder if most people (both sceptics and believers alike) are more eager to confirm their existing beliefs, than finding the truth?

Without this kind of unsafe drugging of animals, meat would probably be more expensive. But expensive meat is only a problem if people eat a lot of it, like Americans do today. The solution to this problem, really is to eat less meat. There

Or marry out of desperation. But I wonder, though, if you give welfare to women, will that lead to financially responsible, but "dull" men having a hard time getting laid? While "fun", but financially reckless men gettin

Women get pregnant. Men do not. That means that, one way or another, men have to support women financially. Traditional marriage is one way, prostitution another. However, in our culture there seems to be a bias that marriage is somehow bet

Many people say things like: "I'm just an average guy. I have nothing to hide. My life is boring. I never do anything unusual." Ironically, it is perhaps these people who have the most to lose from surveillance? As most of yo
