Let me summarize [every neuroscience article ever]: - the brain is very complicated - the feeling of control over one's thoughts is largely an illusion - through clever experiments we can make small steps in understanding

Is there demand for a discussion site that has nothing to do with blog or news posts? Comments and threads could still be monitored and ranked by users. Discussions could be split into topics and subtopics (philosophy might be interesting,

Proud that two articles on the front page are about Harvard's commencement, I might suggest president Drew Faust's address: http://www.president.harvard.edu/speeches/faust/080605_comms... It's long, but argues a controversial point well.
