I have always thought this video was interesting. Its about a man who had his brain cut in half and how he manages to function after that procedure. One thing I don't understand is how his left side of his body still acts in coordination with his right side. Each side of your body is...

Source pleez. Junk argument and sources award! Are these local rainfall graphs that you are blaming on global temp and co2 changes? https://www.climate.gov/news-features/featured-images/2017-state-climate-global-drought (Wow not much change in droughts globally...

As I have gotten older I have learned to accept that people need to make decisions for purely emotional reasons in order to function. Still I have my limit to what I can accept and eventually I cannot help but remain skeptical that their behaviour is rather unnessary wast of time, illusions...

How much freedom do you give children or more so when, where and why? I see parents that are too rule bound and stifle growth of teenagers and I have seen parents who let their children rule the household and manipulate their parents with fits and crying to get their way in all things. Age is...

All the sound adjustments seem to be offsets and not span adjustments. Adjusting the sound level increases both the upper range of 'loudness' as well as the lower range. I would like to have a minimum sound level and a separate upper sound level so that the sound output is always between...

What is the difference between fact and truth? I seem to get all kinds of answers to the question but none of them have been satisfactory. Also how does the definition of change between, science, philosophy, epistemology, common everyday use, or your own personal use? ************* (fact1)...

The concept of a comparing a persons inherent worth seems absurd to me. It seems as if Americas associate it with a sense of pride and make value comparisons against each other. When I started studying Buddhism I found a very different meaning of ego. To me the Buddhist meaning of ego being one...

Over the years waters around the world have acified and carbonated. Has this changed the freezing and boiling points of the water? If so how do scientists adjust for Celsius drift? I have always calibrated thermometers to freezing of water but no one has ever mentioned any adjustments for the...

How do the Fi types handle confrontation compared to the Ti types?

I find within me both extreme liberal and extreme authoritarian views. In one hand I believe critical thought and the freedom to make up your own mind should be protected at all costs. It is instrumental to human growth and success and is the only path to the truth. On the other hand I...

http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/second.html Generally when a unit is defined in science a reference is created based on certain conditions. In the case of the 'second' the cesium frequency is measured at 0 Kelvin. This ensures that the second does not change depending on temperature...

How is it people can 'experience art' while I can only observe it and find myself mostly unconcerned? I have recognized a few times in my life where I could truly experience art and music in a way that is indescribable. What has been consistent during those times is that my emotions were...

I know there are a few programmers here. Has anyone looked into or gotten into programming UWP apps? I am curious what your thoughts are on this. I think they are a great idea. I think this new design pattern will really will be important when phones are 'the cpu' for that you can just dock on...

You guys know 'Mr. Wonderful'? I think he is INTP. I is very logical and really lacks in the Fe department. He is definitely a thinker type. There is also his adherence to the 'cold hard truth' which are some books he has written. Anyone read them? What would you people type him as?

I am curious of what everyone thinks of hard coded post count limits. What are the benefits and complications? I am not suggesting we do it. I am honestly curious. Anyone see such a thing in action? I think people will put more thought into their posts if they were limited. They wouldn't be...

Anyone notice the constant clash of ego battles that is more common of the male? I think people are more threatened by Sinny because she is a female and that puts the male ego at a greater risk. What is the pecking order of this forum?

Anyone else know about this experiment? http://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html https://youtu.be/eTX42lVDwA4 There is also a movie on netflix I am curious if Ti and Fi dominants would be less susceptible to obedience in the conditions of this test or if there are other factors at play...

1) We lose a few IQ points as we age. 2) We become less tolerant of new ideas. 3) Our brain loses its plasticity as we age. We gain in experience but what good is that when we can no longer use the data effectively?

I used the two words synonymously for some time. When I got older I started getting negative reactions to the use of pity. They described it as looking down on them. I don't understand it. I only experience the one feeling of compassionate concern and I use both words to describe this feeling...

First off some information: http://phys.org/news/2015-05-quantum-emulated-classical.html Analog is essentially taking a 1 to 5 volts and then converting it to a number representation of that voltage. This requires one transistor that is partially on to create the specified voltage. So 1vdc...

http://avoiding-rape.tripod.com/id2.html I found this document very convincing. In fact I cannot come up with an argument against bestiality after reading it. What do you think? Disclaimer: This is NOT the homophobic trap of comparing homosexuality to bestiality. In fact, for the purposes of...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3123965/The-white-girl-posed-black-campaign-against-racism-story-brutally-lays-bare-hypocrisy-liberal-America.html Shouldn't we be more accepting of her new identity? I see it as contradictory to deny her self established identity of being black while...

Close the right eye and read something. Close the left eye instead and read something and then do a comparison. Do you read better with your right eye or left eye or the same? I am afraid if I say much more it might mess with the results...but you would probably guess the purpose anyways...

Against all known facts about gravity and space the universe's expansion is suggested to be accelerating according to scientists. Why? Consider that the greatest redshift is occurring between our galaxy and a galaxy of the most distant past while less redshift is occurring between our galaxy...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100329083039.htm Here are the anti-neutrinos. So what am I missing? Shouldn't this spark some funding and more publicity? The old iron core idea seems to have almost no evidence and it makes sense for denser material like uranium to be at the earths...

Instead of space expanding, matter is compressing since every universe exists in a black hole. Since space cannot be compressed and all matter is compressed at the same rate we see space getting bigger as the worlds stay the same size. In reality it is us getting smaller and space staying the...

Disregarding proper grammar... Shouldn't a question mark only be used when you actually expect a response to your statement? Or is it just too hard to give the statement the proper tone without it. Just seems to be a more practical usage and it also helps define sarcasm/rhetorical questions.
