About Me:
A somewhat emotionally & musically developed rationalist. Definitively non-religious, and fascinated with understanding how and why we believe things.
Things I'm interested in:
Music + Guitar!
Learning the Arabic language, Atheism & Comparative Religion, History of Religion, Evolution/Biology, Philosophy, Pop Physics & Cosmology, Superman Comics & Mythology, On-line Tech and Video.
The same muscles (arectores pilorum) that enable a cat to do this:
also enable us to do this:
And in both cats and ourselves, the same stimuli cause goosebumps/hair erection: cold and fear.
But of course goosebumps aren’t of any use to us. They don’t keep us warm, nor do they make us look bigger and fearsome, like the kitteh above. They’re evolutionary leftovers, evidence of our common ancestry with other mammals.
This video is incredible. The recent discoveries talked about in this video clearly show how important neuroscience and its understanding of the brain is to our definition of and reasons for empathy, ethics and morality.

Fairly happy with this, fast enough for browsing and downloading/
streaming music and most SD video. I'm also finding that I'm getting
automatically connected to various o2 participating wifi networks all
over the city. So when in town it's working over wifi 90% of the time,
which is a cool battery saver.
