Kill Capitalists.
Well fuck that shit.
Also worth noting, it was the Obama administration that was involved with this. The Democrats seem pretty appealing these days, since the Republicans are absolutely ridiculous, but the truth is both parties are fucking up the working class (in this case, internationally) and putting the interests of business first.

Violins and eyes.

infoneer-pulse:

Buddhism and the Brain § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM →
sharanam:
Despite my doubts, neurology and neuroscience do not appear to profoundly contradict Buddhist thought. Neuroscience tells us the thing we take as our unified mind is an illusion, that our mind is not unified and can barely be said to “exist” at all. Our feeling of unity and control is a post-hoc confabulation and is easily fractured into separate parts. As revealed by scientific...

psychotherapy:
A sad person who says that the world looks dull and gray and that flowers no longer smell so sweet may not just be speaking figuratively. Two recent studies from Germany provide evidence that sensory perception is diminished in depressed individuals…

Sustainable Love (New York Times) →
psychotherapy:
A lasting marriage does not always signal a happy marriage. Plenty of miserable couples have stayed together for children, religion or other practical reasons.
But for many couples, it’s just not enough to stay together. They want a relationship that is meaningful and satisfying. In short, they want a sustainable marriage.
“The things that make a marriage last have more to do...

Refrigerator Heaven: How Alice Cooper and Groucho... →
poisonoushoneysuckles:

“Groucho,” he says, “came to the show and said, ‘Oh, vaudeville.’ Before that everybody said ‘shock rock,’ and ‘theatrical rock’ and ‘glam rock.’ When Groucho said,…

The shifting boundary of childhood amnesia:... →
psychotherapy:
Sigmund Freud called it ‘the remarkable amnesia of childhood’1. When you ask people to recall their earliest experiences, they rarely report memories dating from much before about three years of age. Since Freud made his observations, the phenomenon of childhood amnesia has been the subject of much research and theorizing, with many different explanations put forward to explain...
