“And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back-if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?”

- C.S. Lewis (Out of the Silent Planet)

Horsetail Falls (via andykee)
“Horsetail Fall is a pathetically small (at least by Yosemite standards) seasonal waterfall that flows off the east side of El Capitan. Despite its size and fickle nature, this waterfall puts on one hell of a show. During the last few weeks of February, the setting sun’s rays strike El Cap at the correct angle to illuminate the falls and make it glow like flowing lava.”

BBC - Did the discovery of cooking make us human?

BBC - Did the discovery of cooking make us human?:

mykicks:

Cooking is something we all take for granted but a new theory suggests that if we had not learned to cook food, not only would we still look like chimps but, like them, we would also be compelled to spend most of the day chewing.

Without cooking, an average person would have to eat around five kilos of raw food to get enough calories to survive.

The daily mountain of fruit and vegetables would mean a six-hour chewing marathon.

It is already accepted that the introduction of meat into our ancestors’ diet caused their brains to grow and their intelligence to increase.

“Physical experience makes a much deeper impression than a purely intellectual encounter. I can explain to you what it’s like to feel cold, but I can also have you feel the cold yourself through my art. My goal is to sensitize people to highly complex questions.”

“The sum effect of participation in such services as Google Buzz, Twitter and Facebook is to increase the rate at which we believe their is important news about ourselves to share. It is not sufficient to update our status once and leave it for days. The formal qualities of these services help persuade us that we have something new and important to say about ourselves every hour, or every 15 minutes, or every other minute.”

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:21:58 -0500

“Scientists have been surprised at how deeply culture—the language we speak, the values we absorb—shapes the brain, and are rethinking findings derived from studies of Westerners. To take one recent example, a region behind the forehead called the medial prefrontal cortex supposedly represents the self: it is active when we (“we” being the Americans in the study) think of our own identity and traits. But with Chinese volunteers, the results were strikingly different. The “me” circuit hummed not only when they thought whether a particular adjective described themselves, but also when they considered whether it described their mother. The Westerners showed no such overlap between self and mom. Depending whether one lives in a culture that views the self as autonomous and unique or as connected to and part of a larger whole, this neural circuit takes on quite different functions.”
