Is our world of sensation and motivation as rich as our language suggests? More precisely, are there neural correlates that underlie what our emotional and motivational expressions are signaling? Or are we maybe much simpler, psychologically?
I believe that the scope of what we can sense might be much less than the scope of sensations that we...
I joined this endeavor something like 1000 days ago, and in the intervening time since then I've gone through a city, two graduate schools, and the love of another.
Back then the Influence of Gas Light or Electric Light on the Growth of Paraheliotropic Trees was just a nubbin, a twinkle in my mind's eye. A barely there. Almost a wasn't.

These streams of hyperlinks
are turning us into possibility addicts.

Below is a link to a podcast recording of philosopher Slavoj Žižek at Birbeck College in London shooting off his usual Lacanian-Marxist philosophical fireworks. In it he waxes paradoxical on all things apocalyptic. As to be expected from the Slovenian rock-star intellectual, he makes some brilliant points while forcing his listeners to think for...
"Ticking away inside almost all cells are tiny clocks composed of protein gears. Scientists have known that these molecular clocks govern the daily rhythms of life, from mealtimes and bedtimes to the rise and fall of hormone levels, body temperature and blood pressure. New research shows that circadian clocks, as the daily timekeepers are...
If only one language was spoken on earth,
there would still be miscommunication and dogma,
