I Suck At Cooking I like to cook, even though I mostly suck at it. I’ll watch something on YouTube, or read somebody’s blog about some kind of recipe, and then I’ll decide to cook it a couple days later. Problem is I don’t usually remember much of this, except the taste I […]
Stranger Danger
Get Paid – Brainwashed An interesting social experiment was done. People showed up after seeing an add for a paid psychological study. They told them that over the next few weeks, strangers would purposely cause slight problems in their lives.

Reverse Engineered Cult
Free Seminar The other day I went to a free seminar at a local community center. Since it was free, I didn’t expect much. Usually at these things, they have some basic ideas in the first half, and then the second half is some kind of upsell. Only at this one, there […]

Hypothetical Love Insanity
Professor Love There was this PhD student a few decades ago who had some very controversial ideas about love. His theory was that all love was based on self-hypnosis, and he wanted to prove this for his doctoral thesis. He chose ten women at random, on his campus, and didn’t even tell them […]
