I don't think there's a big difference from what we do now. Right now we use our hands or speech combined with phone/glasses/watches/computer as tools to communicate with the inter…

Interesting to see that everyone here is so eager to assume that the article is right. The article might be right, but it's also just gossip.

You're right, if you don't give the emotion any energy it will not persist very long, simple but hard.

That's quiete a leap there. True, there were a lot of politics in Tibet, same for all the other buddhist countries. But to counter your point: anger is probably best surpressed if …

There's a difference between discontent or frustration and hate & aversion. In buddhist view: hate and aversion will create enormously negative mindstates that will cause suffering…

Interesting. Derren Brown, English mentalist, describes in one of his books how he deliberately failes every now and then to make it more convincing there are pschycic abilities at…

I agree. The idea of "wiring" of the brain is very old school. Would have been more interesting if the article (maybe the research did) asked how this wiring came to be: instinctiv…

Further down the article there's an indirect reference: “I would recommend that pregnant women and children eat organic fruits and vegetables and avoid using plastic containers and…

Why are legal costs so ridiculously high in the states?
