Serukai rated 3 months ago- Who knew having a stroke could be so interesting? It's a miracle in itself that she recovered, let alone survived a golf-ball sized blood clot.

No, you sputtering nitwit, it's the "rest" of us who don't think like scientists. Man's natural state is that of the scientist. Even before we had the words to properly describe it we looked around the world and asked "Why is this? How is this?"
To become like "the rest" you must actively disengage your scientific interest in the world, choosing to become inured in the puppetshow of eating, sleeping, shitting and fucking. The modern scientist simply continues to ask the same old questions of why and how, long after everybody else has decided that what they'd already uncovered was good enough. They have chosen to continue to be men, while "the rest" have chosen to return to being animals now that science has fulfilled their basest requirements. - "scientists don't think like the rest of us"

- That would be quite the experience. I would thing that, at some point, keeping one's detachment would be a problem. Of course, I can tell you that the roughly 20 minutes that seems to unfold between the time the gun fires and the bullet hits you seems pretty excruciating, too.

- "One of the most fascinating talks at the TED conference so far was given by Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, who gave a riveting account of a stroke she experienced in 1996. (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design.) Taylor's knowledge of the brain made her the perfect witness to her body's gradual shutdown. Over the course of four hours she watched her body deteriorate in stages, all the while processing its breakdown as if she were a curious explorer taking field notes. "
