A reply on Talk: Bill Gross on new energy
A comment on Talk: Sherwin Nuland: How electroshock therapy changed me
There are so many good therapeutic techniques out there which could have accomplished the same task without the harm or the danger.
Please Mr. Nuland, take a look at Neurolinguistic Programming for instance, and next time avoid absolutely all the pain while receiving all of the benefits of a serious treatment. And if you have the money, well then visit Dr. Richard Bandler himself. He created the NLP methodology and with it, has helped millions of people around the world deal with negative emotions and to do so without pain, with immediate results and using a much gentler and more elegant treatment than what you've just described in this talk.
It's incredible how someone offered to help you do that to yourself! Truly sad.
A comment on Talk: Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight
A comment on Talk: Alex Tabarrok on how ideas trump crises
It's a shame that the illusion of the "benefits of globalization" is so alive here, without considering nor realizing data that probes otherwise, ignoring the threats to the environment because of mass production which have created deserts, have brought about pollution, destroyed the jungles and the forests, and a whole series of other tremendous problems around the world.
Do we really want to have larger markets so we can sell more drugs to treat cancer so that a very limited number of people get rich versus billions getting sicker? How has that newly created wealth been distributed? Is there less poverty now because of that growth? I've seen statistics that probe otherwise.
Shouldn't our aims and objectives be geared toward different directions and purposes?
If in Mexico we are actually becoming happier, certainly the reason is not that we are getting richer, but trying to cope with the poverty globalization has brought.
A comment on Talk: Kary Mullis celebrates the experiment
Back to the one of the themes of this talk, does anybody know if elsewhere (anywhere else in the planet) the ice cap is getting thicker? Or are we just hearing the bad news and none of the news that don't make it to the newspapers?
