Could somebody explain to me what those arrows next to the heatmap are supposed to represent? Why does "left" link to "avoids" link to "by" etc.?

I also read Anna Karenina (I am a big fan of Russian literature) - but none the less (or maybe rather b/c of that) I am curious to learn how this book did change your perspective on your life?

I'm agnostic and I don't agree with you. Sure, there are without any doubt some wise statements to be found in the Bible. But each and every of those thoughts have been presented and discussed in other books in a more concise, cle

Few days ago I watched "The Culture High" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1778338/ ) which highlights the connections between: - Prison-industry - Militarization of Police - Pharmaceutical industry - and M

Since the industrial revolution people work less and less ... until the 19th century for most people life mostly was about working. That's why people's last name was inferred from their profession b/c they were even identifie

For me personally this age-misconception is not what annoys me about this submit - I'm suffering from feeling-to-old since I'm 20 - I guess that's a modern issue. I just am detested by this weird combination of bragging about

The US is simply not producing and exporting anything of value and able to compete with comparable products. Furthermore not every country in EU is "suffering from Germany's export surplus" - countries like Estonia, Poland, N

How about visiting Germany, Belgium and France? You will notice that in Germany there are way fewer poor people than in those other countries. The worst off people in Germany are more healthy, happy and hopeful than in the US or Belgium or

Of course "fat isn't so bad!" ... but it is, if you live off fast food like a significant part of the US population. Also "fat <> fat" ... I eat every day at least one tablespoon of linseed oil. And that is ve

At the end of the day it is utterly irrelevant ... the US has a major food issue, only seconded by the fat Mexicans - and salt is certainly not any major problem here. Most likely the findings simply imply that our body copes well with a bi

To react to other people's portrayed successfulness with doubting the legitimacy or their honesty and suspecting those people to be actually unhappy is almost as immature as getting depressed by it.

Seems to me like the 80/20 paradox: The "tangential stuff" is the essential 20% of the business that takes 80% of the effort to implement. The stuff "the world is" is what you see and get celebrated for - which look
