How To Spot A Liar

How To Spot a Lie By Pamela Meyer, a Tedtalk:

Everyone lies. According to research, on any given day we are told a lie anywhere between 10 to 200 times. Now, some lies are harmless. White lies.

Some are significant and destructive.

How do we know when a person is lying? Not as challenging as one might expect. The above video features some nearly fool-proof and eye-opening lie spotting techniques that catch a lie accurately over 90 % of the time. Pamela Meyer, CEO of Simpatico, worked for several years with leading researchers of deception in the military, psychology, espionage and law-enforcement and is trained in interpreting behavior and body language, interrogation, microexpressions and statement analysis.

How Man Became God

Technology is psychedelic and psychedelic = manifestation of the mind



Richard Dawkin's idea of memes, self replicating units of knowledge that have DNA-like abilities is one of the most fascinating cognitive philosophic ideas possibly ever articulated  Essentially all information are memes. Why are memes important? Because of them we are on the fast track to becoming Gods. In this video Jason Silva explores in a conference titled "Dangerous Ideas" the evolution of humanity, existence and nature of information and the infinity of possibilities that can and have manifested from our minds. The ways in which we extend ourselves makes man a bridge and the latter to the skies, literally and metaphorically
Man can create life.

Everything man has created is  the epiphenomenon of the human mind, the non-physical creating physical, virtually something out of nothing.

“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?”

Roald Dahl, The Twits

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. 
People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”
