I’m scared of bad people
Amanda asks…
“I’m having this crazy problem. I was watching this movie [Wicked Attraction] last month [January 2012] and I saw that 2 teenagers, and 2 adults broke into the old lady’s house, and kidnapped her… Took her to the beach, and simply threw her in the ocean, then she drowned.
They said that they went to jail/kids jail, and will sent them free 2039 or something like that, and i was worried that it might happen to me too… :/ I’ve been having this thoughts for over a month now. How do I make these thoughts disappear? I tried everything, exercising, watch comedy, and lots. Nothing worked. Please Help!”
The trick is to see it all in a new light, to see the truth, to see your worry as valueless, as actually hurting you, then to remove all attention… ignore every thought about it… Read more
Unwanted attention from a guy

Spider-goat
© Michael Vincent Miller
Just watched the BBC Horizon’s “Playing God” all about genetic engineering. Although it didn’t cover all the horrendous stuff going on with our food, it did feature some other ways scientists are manipulating the genome for profit…
The spider-goat is one example. They’ve taken the gene that produces the spider web protein and inserted it into goats so that they produce this protein in their milk. The “benefit” is the production of incredibly strong web proteins that can be made into thread and have all sorts of potential applications…
Another disturbing development is using yeast to make diesel, yes that’s right. Instead of making alcohol from sugars the genetically modified yeast make diesel.
What is especially disturbing about genetic engineering as it plows forward unchecked, is the complete lack of ethical framework. Businesses can pretty much do whatever they like it seems and when profit is the sole motive, God help us… Read more
Schizophrenia / multiple personality disorder treatment
Many moons ago, I saw a long documentary about a young woman called Freda suffering from what was called schizophrenia, but would be more rightly called multiple personality disorder.
Multiple personality disorder is commonly called schizophrenia, although it’s not, and the error may come from the fact that schizophrenia is derived from the Greek words skhizein meaning “split” and phren — “mind.”
I have to say though, that in my opinion, mental illnesses do not fit so neatly into the boxes that science has defined. Science does this because there has to be a standard treatment, a drug to be prescribed or other “therapy.” There has to be some structure whereby mental illness can be understood… Read more
Are intelligent people more prone to depression?
I think it’s true yes, and more prone to other mental illnesses too like anxiety, OCD, schizophrenia.
The human mind is hyper-malleable and the most intelligent mind, the most malleable of all. I often think of this issue as the difference between driving a Ferrari and a Mini. The Ferrari is more powerful, can go faster, but is also more dangerous, harder to handle, and perhaps is tuned so finely that it’s prone to break down :-) Read more
