There are three ways I meditate. One, is by actualizing the concept of nothing within my mind. To do this, I must lose all thoughts; there can be nothing if I am to perceive nothing. This is not something I can do easily, or explain how to do, I just "do" it.
The second way is similar to...
We would be deserting our social nature to do otherwise, Booko. Of course, that would be mixed blessing.
U.S. cities and Canadian cities of comparable size often have comparable crime rates. But by comparable, I mean you can look at them and instantly see a large difference. Whether this is...
I've got the next five days or so to visit Michigan. Tigress, where do you live? Presumably Ontario? I'm in Port Lambton right now, and we're right across a river from Michigan.
I'm an angry person. I usually deal with my anger by sneaking out, late at night, and taking the lives of at least two innocents per week.

Actually, I just find that meditation helps a lot with my anger. And my cannabis use.
Anger is a valuable emotion, at times, but it is an obsolete...
Interesting response, about the family, but I cannot agree.
Individuals are the basic building blocks of society. Families are a response to evolutionary pressures. Without families, culture, or knowledge, cannot be passed from one generation to the next. Families are integral to society...
The nature of man lies not in brain size or mass but in a host of interconnected brain features.
Prefrontal and frontal cortex are foremost in this.
All that makes us us can be had with but a few alterations.

I've been trying to understand society lately, and it's taken me on a wild ride. I've just exhaustively researched history since the 40's, especially the 60's and 70's. I've got some things to say, now. Here's part of some stuff I'm writing to externalize my thoughts:
What do you think...
I will present a hypothetical scenario for those against recreationaldrug use. This is not meant to be a debate over whether recreational drugs are bad or not, in fact, this thread is just for my own interest.
A man who has been blind since childhood is plagued with a deep longing to see...
This is not true at all, neanderthals did have art and burial, as well as religion; or, at least, mysticism. The seven buried lion heads? Red Earth? Flowers hewn over a grave? All these are done by Neanderthals.
Probably the only place they were lacking compared to us was in vocalization...
Humans are quite the interesting animal. We are distinguished by several of our traits. For instance, no other animal on Earth can challenge man's ability in running endurance. We can outrun, over long distances, any other animal on the planet. It's one of the things we were built for (early...
Back again, after a long absence. Sorry, folks. I would like to apologize to a lot of people here, too many, in fact, for individual apologies, so I'll give a general apology to RF:
I'm sorry I left without any sort of warning that I might do so. I know from experience how scary that can be...
One of our greatest challenges as experimenters is to support our ideas with proof. The proof is either provided by reproducible results or by undeniable fact or both. Still, the point remains that to support your beliefs, you need proof; but proof is very hard to come by, especially when you're...
