Ever feel like you need to get something off your chest but no one appropriate to do so with?
Pouring the night cap ever deeper. Good night, folks.

Spiritual Insurrection
We awoke one morning to the dark realization that humanity is being dragged into a black hole of ecological, financial and spiritual catastrophe … that our democracy has been seized by a corporatocracy … that every day two hundred species of plant, insect, bird and mammal become forever extinct … that a deluge of advertising is sleepwalking our civilization to the brink of insanity … and that...

Energy Sensation, Expression, and Protection
My question is about interpersonal energy. I have a vague conception of energy ‘flows’ in conversations and that general idea of a person’s ‘energy levels’, but I’d like to learn more about it. What is your perspective on it? Do you perceive ‘fields’ or ‘streams’? Is there a book or practice that has given you insight? Namaste.

The games we play
Devising and plotting. Repartee has been hard to come by, and my brain needs something devious to wrap its neurons around…
It’s a blessing I’ve been led by a strong sense of virtue through the darker times. I would hate see what my evil doppelgänger has been up to.
Why do people want to know if I am seeing someone?
Sorry, I know this might sound weird or random out of context — lately I have been getting these sort of questions. I understand getting this inquiry in person, but not so much online. By and large I share news, art, science, and music. Just trying to understand why people might be curious enough to ask.

Coming Back to Center
Every bone in my body is aching but I keep on smiling. Finally returning to the languid abyss of real slumber after a long lesson in restoring faith through music. There will be a solid round (the third, actually) of protein shakes, essential vitamins and amino acids. I will be reaching for painless foods like chicken noodle soup and will probably be limping like a recovering invalid for the next...

That sinking feeling
…like you might be crawling yourself into a hole you may never get out of.
After so steadfastly holding to a certain life dynamic it seems I am turning around another corner. If so, I will have to confront choices I may not be willing to just yet. Retreating beneath the covers hoping the existential nausea will fade away with the morning for just a while longer.

Computational models decode and reconstruct neural responses to speech.
The brain’s electrical activity can be decoded to reconstruct which words a person is hearing, researchers report today in PLoS Biology1.
Brian Pasley, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues recorded the brain activity of 15 people who were undergoing evaluation before unrelated...

How To Build Your Own Mind Palace
Badass show. Badass technique. Highly recommend both.
anotherboywholived:
I’ve been using a mind palace since my teens and never thought it odd until I saw tumblr’s reaction to Sherlock’s use of the technique. A couple days ago I found myself building an extension in order to cram for my philosophy exam the following day and I figured I’d use this as an example and get you all exploiting the...
