Bad News Brains

Link sent to me by a friend. [[funny guy, I think. Once said, after much tequila that my problem was I'm an Optipissed. "Yea, the fucking glass is half-fucking-full"]]
Some interesting stuff [it's commentary and outtakes, not research itself, and I didn't check any reliability.] might be worth chatting about. This quote [lightly edited] made me laugh all the way through my lunch:

The Penn researchers give the example of brief contact with a cockroach, which ‘will usually render a delicious meal inedible’, ‘The inverse phenomenon – rendering a pile of cockroaches on a platter edible by contact with one’s favourite food – is unheard of. What could you touch to that food to make it desirable to eat – what is the anti-cockroach? Nothing!’

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Interesting read, thanks. Me, I want to be an optimist, but I don't think I can manage it. :D Or, I'm an optimist in some ways, but a pessimistic one. :D Or something.
