“Are you for sale? Is fame your goal or a consequence? Is your content deliberately inflammatory because you like to see shit burn? Are you human? Are you letting a bit of yourself into your ideas? Can I see you thinking? Do you have moments of humility? Empathy? Where do you end and your ideas begin? Are you just a mouthpiece? Can I discern your motivation? Is there substance to your style? Did you earn your arrogance? Are you adding something substantive to the planet or are you just noisy? Are you pitching refinement as a mask for aggressively bad taste? Do I have a sense of your experience? Are you beating me over the head with it? Are you aware that anyone else is here? Are you giving me room to think? Do you speak without understanding consequence? Are you aware of the world around you? Are you transparently self-serving? Are you a douche?” #manaback - × × ×

“This was my first full year at the helm of Give Me Something To Read, and to mark it, I’ve compiled this list of the best articles and essays I posted through 2010 (limited to those that were actually published in 2010). Best, obviously, is subjective, and what this list comprises is a selection of my favourites and reader favourites (as judged by the number of notes they got on Tumblr).” #2010год #longreads - × × ×

“This is the first time that researchers have been able to establish a connection between a particular gene and altruistic deeds. However, it was already known from studies on twins that altruistic behavior is also partly influenced by our genes.”¶ The Bonn scientists focused their analysis on the COMT gene with good reason: For several years, it has been known that dopamine is involved in regulating social behavior in animals and humans.¶ Dopamine, together with substances such as the neuropeptide vasopressin, influences sexuality and bonding. It is also linked with positive emotionality — such as the good feeling some people get from helping others.” #схватил_за_мозг #стайность - × × ×

“What you care about and makes you happy doesn't really matter. What's important is why those things matter in the first place. Starting with that "why," rather than "what," could help you find better and more meaningful ideas. ¶ Simon Sinek, of Start With Why, explains how it's more important to focus on why you're doing something than what you're actually doing. Your why is your purpose, cause, and belief—it's what's driving your motivation for action. If you can articulate why you're passionate about an idea, you can use that ability to facilitate interest in your idea.” #схватил_за_мозг #мотивация - × × ×

“You’ll notice that Hunch data doesn’t validate the premise of Revenge of the Nerds. As far as we can tell, bullied high schoolers don’t emerge from the lockers they’re stuffed into to become the rulers of the universe. (Well, unless we’re talking about the Facebook movie). But we can conclude that people who were bullied grow up to be just as happy and successful as people who were not bullied. (They are however, somewhat more likely to be naturally compassionate than impartial and are slightly more likely to support charities.) We wouldn’t wish bullying on anyone, but might it be one of those bad experiences that can build character?” ¶ “We’re all familiar with the idea of being products of our environment. One glaring difference among Hunch users who were bullied, not bullied, and self-identified bullies is that bullies were mostly punished with spanking and hitting as children (38%) followed by verbal reprimands (30%). We’re not saying that corporal punishment necessarily causes bullying, but there is a correlation.” #hunch - × × ×

Получается общая игра в месть друг другу и сжигание маны на площадях, торжество тролля. И когда люди в окна смотрят, видят незапрошенный мета-анализ повсюду, они заранее понимают, что если что-то делаешь, то троллей держи от себя подальше, хоть вилами, хоть блоком. В итоге никто никому ничего старается не рассказывать на улице, чтобы не докапывались, только по кухням и по личному знакомству. • #manaback ∙ #доверие - urbansheep@gmail.com

“Yes, if you click on a tweet with the chat bubble icon, you’ll see the detail of what that tweet was responding to in the right pane of New Twitter. Previously, you could only see one level deep into the conversation. But now, Twitter will show you an entire back and forth (assuming the users responded using the “reply” button each time). And depending on where you hop in to the conversation, you’ll see all the “in reply to” message above, the tweet you clicked on in the middle, and the “replies” below in this pane.” - × × ×

“Packing all of your belongings into a U-Haul and then transporting them across several states is nearly as stressful and futile as trying to run away from lava in swim fins.¶ Our first dog is - to put it delicately - simple-minded. Our other dog is a neurotic German shepherd mix with agonizingly low self-esteem who has taken on the role of "helper dog" for our simple dog. Neither dog is well-equipped with coping mechanisms of any kind.” - × × ×
