don't look too long, you might fall in.

the person that made this should seriously consider taking up the project of understanding the math involved in global warming.  i mean seriously.  we're talking one-degree F.  or maybe not.  or maybe it's dimming, and not heating.  or maybe the sun is all messed up and is currently in a long-spell without sunspots.  whatever that means, aside from what which visually looks like beltching, help the kids out and just tell us what the hell is up.  or don't, because isn't it all supposed to be about the moment. even if.

Video:  An Immodest Rebuttal

In the April issue of Vanity Fair, Alessandra Stanley joins forces with Sarah Silverman, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and other great female comics to prove that women are no slouches in the humor department. Christopher Hitchens, author of an infamous essay on the subject, begs to differ.

“This is a truly remarkable finding,” Griffiths says. “Rarely in psychological research do we see such persistently positive reports from a single event in the laboratory. This gives credence to the claims that the mystical-type experiences some people have during hallucinogen sessions may help patients suffering from cancer-related anxiety or depression and may serve as a potential treatment for drug dependence. We’re eager to move ahead with that research.” -link

That Thing Which You Fight You Become

via southwark lido

Surely that thing which you fight you become. ...If I am angry and you meet me with anger what is the result? More anger. You have become that which I am. If I am evil and you fight me with evil means then you also become evil, however righteous you may feel. If I am brutal and you use brutal methods to overcome me, then you become brutal like me. And this we have done for thousands of years. Surely there is a different approach than to meet hate by hate? If I use violent methods to quell anger in myself then I am using wrong means for a right end, and thereby the right end ceases to be. In this there is no understanding; there is no transcending anger. Anger is to be studied tolerantly and understood; it is not to be overcome through violent means. Anger may be the result of many causes and without comprehending them there is no escape from anger.

We have created the enemy, the bandit, and becoming ourselves the enemy in no way brings about an end to enmity. We have to understand the cause of enmity and cease to feed it by our thought, feeling, and action. This is an arduous task demanding constant self-awareness and intelligent pliability, for what we are the society, the state is. The enemy and the friend are the outcome of our thought and action. We are responsible for creating enmity and so it is more important to be aware of our own thought and action than to be concerned with the foe and the friend, for right thinking puts an end to division. Love transcends the friend and the enemy.
