  1. This is more about the DNC hack commented by former NSA whistleblower William Binney. Interesting to hear. He claims that there was no hacking. The thing was downloaded to a usb stick (ie directly from within the DNC servers. A person had to infiltrate the DNC) and there is no way that a potential hack was even possible when looking at the evidence.
  2. If anybody enjoys surf let me recommend Messer Chups too

    about veganism

    I don't think veganism is necessary in the future. If we turn to bugs for proteine we should be just fine.
  4. Definetely not recommend for a newcomer to philosophical works but Ray Brassier "Nihil Unbound - Enlightenment and Extinction" was pretty interesting although he is a bit too verbose for my liking. He has a couple of different lectures on Youtube too.
  5. I'm with the philosopher Ray Brassier on this: " "Philosophy", exhorts Brassier, "would do well to desist from issuing any further injunctions about the need to re-establish the meaningfulness of existence, the purposefulness of life, or mend the shattered concord between man and nature. It should strive to be more than a sop to the pathetic twinge of human self-esteem. Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity."
  6. A bit late for the party but here goes: No there are no conclusive studies on empaths. You can check out Judy Orloff (which xkp linked to earlier) but a fair warning; "Dr. Orloff is a psychiatrist, an empath and intuitive healer, and is on the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty. She synthesizes the pearls of traditional medicine with cutting edge knowledge of intuition, energy, and spirituality." She mentions some studies in the linked article although she fails to provide links or direct quotations from it. I haven't seen any performance from a socalled empath that wasn't just normal cold reading. These are "psychics" under a new name IMO. Only guy I've met in real life who claimed to be an empath was diagnozed with paranoid schizophrenia which didn't help to convince me at all. Offtopic: I have a hard time accepting there's a psychiatrist that believes she is an empath and offers "energy-based healing".
