"Reboot Your Brain"
*"Reboot Your Brain"* by Rebecca Sato “Contrary to popular belief, recent studies have found that there are probably ways to regenerate brain matter.

In addition, fasting has been shown to enhance synaptic elasticity, possibly ... more »

“Becoming a Vampire Without Being Bitten: How Reading Expands Our Self-concepts”
*“Becoming a Vampire Without Being Bitten: * *How Reading Expands Our Self-concepts”* by PhysOrg.com "We read to know we are not alone," wrote C.S. Lewis. But how do books make us feel we are not alone? Obviously, you can't hold a book's hand, and a book isn't going to dry your tears when you're sad," says University at Buffalo, SUNY psychologist Shira Gabriel. Yet we feel human connection, without real relationships, through reading. "Something else important must be happening." In an upcoming study in "Psychological Science", a journal of the "Association for Psychological Science... more »
"Maybe..."
“Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop...” - "Grey's Anatomy"

Journalistic Privilege and Bias
Writing toward the end of the 1980s, the late Zygmunt Bauman tried to capture the essence of the economic, social and cultural changes grouped under the heading 'postmodernism'. For Bauman, part of the growing concern with these issues was thanks to a shift in the role of intellectuals. In the post war interregnum between the dog-eat-dog of the 1930s and its comeback at the heels of Thatcher and Reagan, their role had shifted from legislators who captained industry and steered society through the input of expertise to interpreters, a stratum who use their knowled... more »
