All words are more words, and therefore, all words are silly
Almost. What is modified in Russian in this case is the object noun. 'Man' = 'chelovek'. But 'dog bites man' = 'dog bites cheloveka'. All six permutations are grammatically correct and mean the same, with a different emphasis: 'dog bites cheloveka' 'dog cheloveka bites' 'bites dog cheloveka' 'cheloveka dog bites' 'bites cheloveka dog' 'cheloveka bites dog'

Tropical Weather
A seasonal sport, watching developing storms. This one, the #1 in the image, is quite close to the equator, but I bet it will miss us anyway.

Hypothesis on the origin of bipolar disorder
I know many people who don't suffer from the bipolar disorder but are as well capable of generating a new speculation every 10 minutes. They just don't get excited by this activity.

Kay Redfield Jamison - Wikipedia has written about her own bipolar disorder as a professional psychologist working on this illness.

Neutral simultaneity for two frames.
The following example proves that your formula is incorrect. Take v=.8c, u=-.8c. Plug them into your formula. It gives, u'=1.28c which is faster than the speed of light!

What is the nature of our existence?
"A model": we can investigate existence of mathematical objects and then use this knowledge as basis of the investigation in other realms. It is similar to the use of "model organisms" in biology.

Hypothesis on the origin of bipolar disorder
To troubleshoot a computer, you don't just observe its misbehavior. You do something and check responses. IOW, you make experiments and collect data.

Hypothesis on the origin of bipolar disorder
Of course. But to make a next step, more data are needed.

Hypothesis on the origin of bipolar disorder
It needs more data than personal experience and reflection.

All words are more words, and therefore, all words are silly
Well, I've read about proto-syntax, agree with you that it is a speculation, but I don't "buy" it. I think that order and relation between words could very well be acquired from comparing them with the order and relations between actions, without any proto-syntax. Moreover, I think that phrases as whole units could be acquired before words, with words and syntax appearing later from "intersection" of the phrases. I always try to compare between different languages, the more different the better. In ASL and in Russian, for example, there is no rule for order regarding (subject)/(action)/(object). The same result is achieved by different means. In ASL and in Russian, there is no verb (be) to connect (subject) and (attribute). In English, ASL and Russian, (attribute) comes before (subject), while in Hebrew (and in Spanish, as you know better than me), (attribute) comes after (subject).

Chemical Responses and Shame Providing Positive and Negative Feedback to Promote Altruistic Behavior
Here, I asked my wife to email me the latest such meme and I got this: Can be converted to a rule for increasing happiness.

I think context is crucial.

Chemical Responses and Shame Providing Positive and Negative Feedback to Promote Altruistic Behavior
No problem. I've suddenly thought of FB. I don't use it, but my wife does, and she sometimes shows me something there. I often notice memes posted by her FB friends advising on how to be happy. One could make a book of these, converting them to rules.

I believe it was the happy day and it lasted until he soon discovered that it is not so and he will have to learn more.

Chemical Responses and Shame Providing Positive and Negative Feedback to Promote Altruistic Behavior
A neighbor of mine, a good guy, when he heard that I'm studying QM exclaimed that graduating from college was the happiest day in his life -- because he will never have to learn anything anymore. Scenario 176.12b: No time. Scenario 176.12c: He knows that somebody in the law enforcement is involved with the terrorists, but he does not know who. ... Really, with all the books and movies, can't YOU come up with more and more scenarios?

What if it is in the US and the shooter knows that there is in fact a meeting of terrorist sleeping cells going on there? What if that poor person could not flee? (in the SS officers scenario) What if that person decided to stay and fight the Nazis? How many scenarios can YOU imagine?
