Question for male posters

How many shirts do you own or wear?

I have my work shirt, my work at home shirt, and my going to town shirt. I usually just wear my work shirt for all occasions. Is this normal?

Yes totally

It's not convenient to spend my money on style

As long as I'm comfortable, thats all that matters

I'm looking for a video that proves telepathy, it involves an Asian boy and a crop circle. Jog anyone's memory?

Yes, but only vaguely. There are others though. Look in kids are magical thread, other site ;)

It'll come up at some point again. Looking for it, I found this, which is in line with Alan Moore content, Nobel realm link.

Anderson Cooper: Technology’s not neutral?

Tristan Harris: It’s not neutral. They want you to use it in particular ways and for long periods of time. Because that’s how they make their money.

Journalist- It’s rare for a tech insider to be so blunt, but Tristan Harris believes someone needs to be. A few years ago he was living the Silicon Valley dream. He dropped out of a master’s program at Stanford University to start a software company. Four years later Google bought him out and hired him as a product manager. It was while working there he started to feel overwhelmed.

Tristan Harris: Honestly, I was just bombarded in email and calendar invitations and just the overload of what it’s like to work at a place like Google. And I was asking, “When is all of this adding up to, like, an actual benefit to my life?” And I ended up making this presentation. It was kind of a manifesto. And it basically said, you know, “Look, never before in history have a handful of people at a handful of technology companies shaped how a billion people think and feel every day with the choices they make about these screens.”

Journalist- His 144-page presentation argued that the constant distractions of apps and emails are “weakening our relationships to each other,” and “destroying our kids ability to focus.” It was widely read inside Google, and caught the eye of one of the founders Larry Page. But Harris told us it didn’t lead to any changes and after three years he quit.

Tristan Harris: And it’s not because anyone is evil or has bad intentions. It’s because the game is getting attention at all costs. And the problem is it becomes this race to the bottom of the brainstem, where if I go lower on the brainstem to get you, you know, using my product, I win. But it doesn’t end up in the world we want to live in. We don’t end up feeling good about how we’re using all this stuff.

Anderson Cooper: You call this a “race to the bottom of the brain stem.” It’s a race to the most primitive emotions we have? Fear, anxiety, loneliness, all these things?

Tristan Harris: Absolutely. And that’s again because in the race for attention I have to do whatever works.

Tristan Harris: It absolutely wants one thing, which is your attention.

Careful what you pay attention to

And mean what you say, say what your truly mean

Attention and intentions echo our thoughts


Everyone is a mind reader

Just amazing


Smiling like a fool

I remember one time when my nephew was 2, he saw a violet flower and he corrected me "no it's bright broo"

Couldn't argue
