  • You read an article, written by somebody you never met, accusing a person you never met, citing evidence you never saw. Now you feel angry at the accused person. What does that make you?

  • You mean like utterly totally zip? Surely not. Surely one is at least a little something. Like a fart in a wind, or a fart in a colander, or something farty like that.

  • I was thinking neon lights. I mean that's basically an arc, just spread out. I think I heard that there's a glow in vacuum too, just not as nice as with neon.

  • Is it empathy?

    I mean, I have empathy for real live people.

    But imaginary people? That's something different.

  • Don't take hearsay so seriously.

    Don't take the rabble's judgment of great artists so seriously either

  • I'm not familiar. But ya, same idea.

    I'd attribute it to that willingness to believe, but I'd take it a step further. An eagerness to believe. An eagerness to enjoy the high of a good anger. Outweighing any loyalty to reality.

  • Nope. Purely in the abstract. It happens a lot on social media. The Gaiman thing is just one example.

  • It’s not censorship to stop hateful online content, insists UN rights chief

    Jump

  • Well it depends on the definition of censor.

    If you define censor as, "to suppress or delete as objectionable" (Webster) then it fits just fine.

  • Anyone have solid, tried and true strategies for improving communications with engineers?

  • Engineers are, as a rule... well, you've seen what they're like. You gotta loosen them up with drugs first if you want a decent conversation.

  • What are some things that everyone should try to master?

    Jump

  • In that first technique you hold your attention on a thing as perfectly as you can for a time.

    That thing can be a visualization or it can be any of a hundred other things.

    My favorite is the feeling of breath in the tip of my nose. It's a popular one. No visualization required there.

  • What are some things that everyone should try to master?

    Jump

  • We have 2 techniques. The Buddhists call them samatha and vipassana. They go by other names, in other traditions, too.We start with samatha, because it's easy. Just takes diligent effort.In samatha you hold your attention upon a thing (called your "object") as perfectly as you can for a time.You can use pretty much anything as your object. But some work better than others and some work differently for different people.So experimentation is called for there.Popular objects are mantras (a repeated word), visualizations, sights (like a candle flame), sounds (the wind in the trees), the feeling of breath in the tip of your nose. Lots of room for experimentation there. I like that last one especially.Here's a nice overview : http://fleen.org/fluffy_cloud (he calls the techniques "shrink" and "grow"). A couple nice books on the subject are "Journey of Awakening" by Ram Dass and "Meditation, the First and Last Freedom", by Osho.Ultimately you will need to do your own research, perform your own experiments and become your own expert.
