Ah caffeine! The bain of my life!! Can't drink it after mid morning or it keeps me awake ALL night! And makes me hypo to boot! :eek:
My recall is not too bad once the info has gone in, it's the getting it in that's the problem. I have to go over and over stuff. If I'm reading its the same sentence 4 or 5 times. It's bloody annoying sometimes.
Like my brain has a natural aversion to anything new that requires thought and laying down of memory!
Bloody useless thing!! No wonder I'm interested in the stem cells!!
My brain works the same way, I've spent 20 minutes reading sentences like "Jimmy went to the store and purchased 5 apples and 4 pears." For some reason I can't read and understand at the same time, so I have to commit the words to memory then try to figure out what it means.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
To be fair Ahnimus, I filter information differently than you. I cannot listen to dry science at all. I can process science when it's put in a philosophical way because that works with my filters. I don't post on economics or on politics because I do not have the information because it just does not stick with me. It's definitely not personal that I don't watch your lectures. According to the way I'm wired, the dry facts of science are just not appealing to me. Any of the science stuff I read is science that has been presented in a way conducive to my more humanitarian learning style.
That's the beauty of the lectures, they are pretty laymanized.

I had to save that thread from the second page having only one post at the time. It may depend on the time you post it and who is on at the time. Annnnd...it was a cartoon, everyone loves cartoons!
I'm not hatin' I really enjoyed that video. Did you check out "The Money Masters"? It's not a cartoon, but it goes really in-depth into the history of banking in the United States and Britain.

i TRY to watch but a) i have the attention span of a gnat. i can barely watch an entertaining movie. or b) i'll watch under the influence of meds and totally not remember.
i really am trying to watch these...it may take a few days tho.
if it makes you feel better, i couldn't sit thru abook's links either. i'm not a goon...i'm an adhd having, overly medicated freak.
lol, It doesn't bother me if no one watches the vids. It only bothers me when people have extremely strong opinions on issue they don't understand. I on occasion get into discussions with minimal knowledge, but quickly concede my knowledge to those more informed then me.
But you get into these discussion on abortion and stem cell research and people keep using terms like "fetus" to describe a 4 day old blastocyst which is basically a cell to the exponent 8. A fetus is something totally different. So, I think in order to have real dialect over these issues we need clarity of language and shared knowledge. That's really my only beef.

hey but toof, is that a recent thing? the attention span thing? like since you've been sick?
Because I'm sure I read somewhere about chemo affecting short term memory. And my rehab doctor told me once that people who are under medical stresses have so much going on that they can't take everything in because there's so much going on in their heads.
Well anyway, that's one thing that I do remember!!
i was adhd before chemo..and yes chemo brain is a real thing. the adhd makes it hard to focus...the chemo brain makes me forget what i did ingest. so basically at this point in my life, after 12 yrs on and off chemo, i'm damn lucky i remember my name and don't drool all over myself. tho if you add a few tequilas...that does happen. haha
It can be completely laymanized and yet, if it's not all touchy, feely and about value and empowerment, my mind goes blank and I tune out.
Seriously? Too much TM maybe?
How did you make it through school?

I haven't watched it yet. I will get to that, though... I'm very much intrigued about the subject. Are you sure you couldn't find it in cartoon format, though?

Not well--I dropped out...my kids and myself all have major attention issues, without hyperactivity.
Me too :(

I just watched it for the 3rd time last night.

I've gotten great at knowing my own learning style though, and directing my attention towards what really interests me. As I think you have, too.
I actually have to credit my interest in biology to "What the BLEEP" as much as I hate to. It was a very aesthetically pleasing and intellectually intriguing film. I think I'll write a poem about it.

Did you see the second what the bleep movie Ahnimus? I have not yet. And why aren't you chatting with us these days??
No, I haven't, never heard of it. It's probably bogus too though :P
I haven't been chatting, just because I've been keeping myself busy with other junk. I'm chatting with my sister right now, I haven't talked to her at all in like 6 months.

I usually give credit to the author if it's not mine, unless I forget.

I'm 8 mins into this nearly pitch-black video and failing to see the purpose.
Do I have to keep watching it?
