You guys just love arguing about semantics. We can't convince others with an aggressive tone. Like I'm doing. But we can definitely win over an audience.

Skepticism can be nullified from the big-picture point-of-view. Look at any one subject in isolation and it will get confusing fast. Look at everything as a highly-connected orchestra or puzzle and things may come into focus.

not just fiber, also how complex of a polymer it is.

You guys are forgetting that "Don't be evil" is interpreted by a part of the brain as "Be Evil." That was a terrible slogan. "Do the right thing" is much better. When we hear "Don't Be Evil"

The whites living in West Van seem to be alright, but I have not lived in West Van. The places in Vancouver I am familiar with are North Van, Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, Vancouver, and the UBC area. Again, I mispoke when I referred to "

You're right. In hindsight I think I meant to type "the west of" Vancouver. West Van seems to have a bit of an absentee problem as well. To be more accurate, there are large Chinese communities in Richmond, Burnaby (near King

That's because you haven't lived in the suburbs. You probably live in a bubble. I admit that "one of the worst places to live in the western world" could be a hyperbole, but that's why I said "one of the worst&

Vancouver is one of the worst places to live in the western world imo. Poverty and violence are much bigger problems than people realize. I have many friends who already have pretty bad health problems, and they're only in their 20s. I

I am surprised more people aren't mentioning meditation. That's a shame.

Funny how discoveries like this don't surprise me at all anymore. After embracing concepts such as fractal geometry, recursion and the demand for efficiency in nature, it makes sense that in nature everything has evolved in a way in wh

Most of your chance at success was already determined by your genes and the way you've lived your childhood. Ideas aren't successful, people are.

Have you ever considered that language affects culture and culture affects language, and the two influence each other like a chicken and an egg? Thus it is very difficult to separate the two.

That's where you need to implement your ideas and see what works and what doesn't. If you are the type of person that needs to know the truth and can't cover it up and hide from it then your imagination will eventually adjust to reality (as

Ah, that's what it's called, thanks! I read about that a while back but forgot whether it was a phenomenon of the retina or of the brain. What I am wondering is if you can use the after image as almost a skeleton for more advanced visualiza

I'm curious, after looking at a computer screen for a little while and then closing your eyes do you ever see a rectangle that is the same proportions as the computer screen? It doesn't have to be a screen even, it can be anything. I have n

This is actually very interesting, I am glad this has been posted. As a kid, I would cover my eyes with my hands to create darkness, or sometimes put my face into a pillow or even do what Tesla did in putting a slight pressure onto my eyes

I think the first spaced-learning algorithm was actually SuperMemo, developed by Piotr Wozniak. The rest just copy his algorithm.

We don't need even need to look at the science formally. We can look at it at a different level. If we know a little about how the brain works then a phenomenon like this might become obvious. Language affects how you think, there is no que

Interesting. Do you think it's a coincidence that a sleep cycle also happens to be about 90 minutes long? Maybe the brain works in 90-minute bursts, whether you are sleeping or conscious.
