The article explains the physical mechanism - or at least the area in which it applies: At the vanguard of a new field of study that came to be known as bioelectromagnetics, he found what appeared to be grave nonthermal effects from microwa

Yes, there are many forms of influence already, lobbyists and the such. My intent was to say - there is now one more way that large multi-national entities can directly shape opinion by marketing spend. This makes the contribution of the in

Totally agree - and also at the very least I rest comfortable knowing that such a large amount of wealth (Most of Buffets' empire also) is bookmarked to at least try and do good. Not somewhere else (ie: funding weapons)

I think what the article was trying to say is that someone earning 120K is worse off or the same as someone earning 60K - so there is no benefit in earning more money in some cases - you will get no real benefit from that money, you will ju

Also agree - but the wake up call for me was that my lack of understanding of a topic biased me towards thinking that the topic was trivial - ie: I was unable to appreciate how ignorant I was. This was a world shaker for me. My own cognitiv

From what I have read this article has some merit. It seems the breach/hacks occurred from within the Google shanghai office. This is a possible reason for them saying that the china office had no notice of the US announcement. I know nothi
