    There is too much analysis of mindfulness and meditation. So you'll end up with analyzing yourself too much while looking for that glorious state of detaching your self from your s…

    Use the slider at the top right. It controls the overlay transparency. It's not ideal but it works to identify the darkest parts.

    I disabled all facebook notifications and I don't get wrapped in other notifications. I just check in on stuff from my desktop when I feel like it instead of feeling compelled to d…

    That page was interesting. Yet, I keep seeing conflicting reports stating that the removal of thimerosal from vaccines to be exaggerated, etc.

    I see it was a matter of how you view your self-worth in the face of a mistake. Society in general likes to put one down for making a mistake regardless of how small or insignifica…

    This is fascinating. I have for a long time been the introverted socially incompetent and weird (partially) one. A lot of that has changed for me recently. Going to Brazilian Jiu-J…

    What if they have stolen your property. Do you not have the right to get it back by force? Does the value of the property matter? If so, who gets to decide that in the moment?

    Since oxygen plays a rather vital role in our functioning, I'm curious why we can't detect low oxygen levels. Or perhaps we do detect them but only when it's dangerously low. How h…

    I like meditation better. I want a meditation room at work, complete isolation, with options for sitting and lying down. Deep meditation has become useful for me to relax and recha…

    A gender breakdown for both single and married would also be useful. For marriages there should also be another dimension based on the health of the marriage. Recent literature sug…

    I'm curious what others here think about natural antibiotics, either extracted or consumed food which has antibiotic properties.

    It took me a long time to really develop critical thinking skills. I'm still behind where I think I want to be. One thing I've noticed is spending more time on the right sites, lik…
