Driving has lost its cool for young Americans →

grist.org by Lisa Hymas. Amidst all the hand-wringing over distracted driving, a critical point is getting lost. The problem isn’t the texting — it’s the driving. Clive Thompson made this argument in Wired last year: When we worry… Exactly. Using my iPhone is more important than to drive. Texting and driving isn’t the problem, the problem is having to drive.

Neuroscience Sheds New Light on Creativity →

Only when the brain is confronted with stimuli that it has not encountered before does it start to reorganize perception. The surest way to provoke the imagination, then, is to seek out environments you have no experience with. They may have nothing to do with your area of expertise. It doesn’t matter. Because the same systems in the brain carry out both perception and imagination, there...

Education, A Broken Lyric

My argumentative research essay for EN 130. If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got. Education needs reform. It needs reform right now. I’ll say it many a times in this paper, but let me say it again: Education NEEDS a revolution. Education might have ninety-nine problems, lack of critics isn’t one. Much has been said, and I’m sure, will be...

Future Has Vantage Points

This just dawned upon me. Grandparents are so amazed by video chat because it was an incomprehensible idea in their age. Just like time travel and warp drive is in our age. This gives me hope. One day I’ll look wide eyed at kids warping to andromeda. Internet and communications is the warp drive of our time; we’ve shortened virtual distances already, next is the physical realm.

Dark Matter May Not Exist After All →

gravicle1: This sounds really promising. Also, dark matter, I think, is closer to the luminiferous ether or phlogiston than reality.

Effort Free Learning →

The other day I was thinking that the process of learning is still very much what it was during the primate phase. With the ever expanding knowledge at human disposal, the slow learning methods are very inefficient. This is mighty promising. I’ll work wonders for the intellectual disciplines like math and engineering, however in physical jobs, like basketball, the body still needs to be...
