Ego: Our Greatest Enemy

Creativity: The Mind, Machines, and Mathematics
your mind is the multiverse experiencing itself subjectively.
life is only a dream, and you are the imagination of yourself.
Robert Wright on his book "The Evolution of God"
the problem with his suggestion of a 'purpose' is that the anthropic principle explains how we would likely find ourselves in such a place. you couldn't wake up in the multiverse unless a series of events took place like they have. it has the appearance of directionality only because of where we're standing, just like natural selection can have that appearance and yet we know it isn't being directed, we know the basic processes.
he's quite an appeaser, i respect him for trying to keep the peace, and more should do so - but then yknow being a straight out philosophical agnostic just shows you haven't thought about it rigorously enough. a godmind from nothing? hm logical, not...
Debate Between A Muslim And A Christian - Purpose Of Life
It might be interesting to watch, it's just a shame this guy's advice is coming from delusion.
how does he know MAGICMAN IN THE SKY exists? because of some old campfire stories written thousands of years ago, which have obvious flaws and contradictions in them showing that they are man made.
He might have some good advice but you'd have to take the things with a pinch of salt because it's already apparent he's delusional..
Man in Van
must. get. my. shit. together...
interesting on a psychological level. there's some denial here, i mean he could sort things out and be happier, but his lack of desire is keeping him at a stand still. perhaps something like subconcious fear of what might happen - because of some past trauma (kinda like the fisher king).
Colbert: Robert Wright "Evolution of God"
it would be much easier for this to happen if these religions didn't contradict with the hard evidence so much.
How to Speed Read
50% would only make sense if you had half a chance of getting it right, which woudn't be the case with something you'd never read.
Also it's got to be BS about reading two lines at once (except for kim peek), it would just be a muddle of words.
The Science of Peace
we'll need to stop being human 1.0
the singularity might help see to that
some good points here but i agree with Gwiz ^
Derren Brown uses Mind Tricks to Pick Up Women
saying he's gay is all part of the trick.
it enables him to get closer to the ladies, pretending to be their 'gay friend'.
How to convert from Hindu to Christianity
i'm thinking parody... to highlight the ignorance of all christians.
and yep, i'm generalizing about all christians, with good reason...
I'd Hate To Be The Pool Cleaner!

The Big Bang Explained in Two Minutes
some leading physicists have been saying that things become fuzzy early on,
in a quantumly weird kinda way. such that you could expect that the idea of what happened at the big bang would begin to break down, and there's an alternate answer to all of this, that it was just mathematical probabilities, this is just one lineage of them.
