Thoughts on this and that

No…smoking pot does not make you aggressive.

Eating fish is related to a lower risk for strokes.

If you want to lose weight…just sacrifice that part of you that loves to eat.

You do know that your brain makes shit up…it stores it away for a while...then you tell people your memory about some event…and you think it is true...but was it really true?

I saw this displayed as an equation some where…Decisions=Reasons+Emotions

Some think that the only way to succeed is by helping yourself. But i sort of think that asking someone to help guide you may get you there faster than trying to do it on your own.

“What’s based on facts – and only facts – and never uses fallacious reasoning is the argument of Rationality. 
What mixes fact and fiction and fallacy is the concoction of Rationalization.” Haider  

Yesterday was Earth Overshoot Day meaning we humans all over the world have used up earth’s capacity to produce renewable resources and absorb CO2 for this year.

Most of what you see in your news feed on Facebook is old.

Is it more pleasurable to be honest? Apparently you are being lied to between 10 and 200 times a 
day.

“I hate careless flattery, the kind that exhausts you in your effort to believe it.” Wilson Mizner

A guy on Ted says if you want to do something new just do it for 30 days.

Do we convince ourselves to “believe” while ignoring the facts?

We are 45.7 billion light years from the edge of the observable universe.

Some say the universe is 13.8 billion years old.

i think the universe has no age, neither a beginning nor an end nor an edge…but that is just my opinion.

Did you know mites climb on your eyelids at night?

Did you know your smile can be a predictor of how long you will live?

The best part about smiles is they are FREE.

If you have to tell your kids this stuff then you probably aren’t white. Javon Johnson at a poetry slam.
See ya next week
