Alpha Monkey (male) Syndrome - by stormywater

2011-08-20T16:36:00.002+02:00

"Alpha Male syndrome seems more like a personality disorder rather than an evolutionary step forward - where would the human race be if everyone ended up with Narcissistic personality disorder?"

The term Survival of the fittest is often misunderstood and didn’t appear in the original copy of Origin of the Species. In this context, ‘fit’ means most suitable to the current environment, rather than the strongest.

Jeffrey A. Tucker: The Austrians Were Right, Yet Again

After three-plus years of floundering around, a consensus has finally arrived that we are back in recession. Growth is not happening. The meager statistical growth of the past few years — no one dared claim it amounted to full recovery — was probably illusory.

There is real growth, and there are government statistics. The statistics have misled every gullible person, but now the truth is obvious to everyone. Not only that: we face an impossible debt calamity, the banking industry is zombied, labor markets are static, the system is flooded with mispriced resources, housing is still a mess, and there is nowhere to go but down, down, down."

"The stasis and depression will continue until the system is allowed to correct itself."

"Let the market liquidate. Government should stop looting the private economy. The Fed should stop the money creation. No more bailouts. Let interest rates rise. Let bad banks fail. Above all: stop fighting the market! Only at that point can we have solid recovery."

The brain on trial, articol din "The Atlantic"

2011-07-16T08:46:00.003+02:00

Changes in the balance of brain chemistry, even small ones, can also cause large and unexpected changes in behavior. Victims of Parkinson’s disease offer an example. In 2001, families and caretakers of Parkinson’s patients began to notice something strange. When patients were given a drug called pramipexole, some of them turned into gamblers. And not just casual gamblers, but pathological gamblers.

"The lesson from all these stories is the same: human behavior cannot be separated from human biology. If we like to believe that people make free choices about their behavior (as in, “I don’t gamble, because I’m strong-willed”), cases like Alex the pedophile, the frontotemporal shoplifters, and the gambling Parkinson’s patients may encourage us to examine our views more carefully. Perhaps not everyone is equally “free” to make socially appropriate choices."

Rankism

2011-05-22T16:37:00.001+02:00

"Rankism is a term coined by physicist, educator, and citizen diplomat Robert W. Fuller. Fuller has defined rankism as: "abusive, discriminatory, or exploitative behavior towards people because of their rank in a particular hierarchy".[1] Fuller claims that rankism also describes the abuse of the power inherent in superior rank, with the view that rank-based abuse underlies many other phenomena such as bullying, racism, sexism, and homophobia."

Red Lake (Romanian: Lacul Roşu) or Killer Lake (Hungarian: Gyilkos-tó) is a lake in the Eastern Carpathians chain in Harghita County, Romania. The name of "Lacul Roşu" (Red Lake) comes from the reddish alluvia deposited in the lake by the Red Creek.

What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going
be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down
just leave me out you name dropper
Stop trying to catch my eye
I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy you fast talker

Chorus:
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself
an innovator

Chorus.

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I'm 'a make this

Paragraf

We like to see ourselves as being completely conscious of our thought processes, of how we feel, of the decisions we make and our reasons for making them. When we act, it is our conscious selves doing the acting. But starting in the late 1960s, psychologists and neurologists began to find evidence that our self-aware part is not always in charge. Researchers discovered that we are deeply influenced by perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and desires about which we have no awareness.

Imperecherea la lemurii Catta

2008-09-02T19:21:00.035+02:00

M-am gindit sa reiau serialul 'Ritualuri de imperechere', interupt brusc datorita unei nevroze spontane soldata cu un blog sters si un ranit grav, adica eu.

Azi voi vorbi cu calculatorul despre ritualul de imperechere al lemurilor Catta (Ring-tailed Lemur). Lemurii Catta sunt niste mamifere care traiesc in insula Madagascar si prin insulele vecine Madagascarului. Catta se deosebesc de celelalte specii de lemuri prin coada lor lunga, neagra, brazdata de inele albe. Isi vocalizeaza sentimentele foarte des prin numeroase expresii pentru a pastra coeziunea grupului sau pentru a semnala anumite pericole. Noaptea, se impart in grupuri si dorm infipti unii in altii pe cracile copacilor, pentru posteritate si caldura. Team building curat!

In diminetile reci, imediat dupa trezire, tot pentru a se incalzi, isi cauta un loc si stau cu burta la soare in pozitia Lotus.

Pe scurt, iata cum sta treaba la ei. Lemurii Catta, caci despre ei vorbesc singur, sunt poligami, adica prefera sa nu-si minta partenerii. Ei traiesc in grupuri de cite aproximativ 15 indivizi, grupuri care sunt conduse de o femela dominanta. Fiind vorba de un matriarhat (matriarchy/matrifocality), masculii comenteaza mai rar ca cei din specia homo-sapiens in fata femelei dominante, care imparte cu daruire scatoalce dupa caz. Un mascul dominant are, de obicei, mai multe partenere decit restul turmei. Nu e exclus insa ca un adolescent sa cistige favorurile unei doamne cochete, satula de conflictul dintre 2 masculi experimentati care sunt prea ocupati sa se certe. Se intimpla si la case mai mari, dap'ai in padure.

Sezonul de suturi si saruturi incepe in Aprile cu asteptari, aspiratii, si vise si se termina in Mai cu victoriosi, raniti si blesteme, desigur. Femela are un comportament deviant timp de 4-6 ore si se culca cu citi masculi poate ea acolo 'sa, chiar si cu indivizi din alte grupuri, motiv pentru care masculii din grupul ei nu isi prea iau concediu de frica sa nu fie concediati.

Or fi si care prefera calatoritul, dar astea sunt cazuri exceptionale care nu au fost semnalate pina in prezent la tele-enciclopedia. Femelele receptive isi prezinta dosul, ridica coada si arunca priviri languroase peste umar alesului (am tradus bine). Masculii, sunt ceva mai simplisti si inspecteaza...Trecand peste care este si va mai fi pina la sfirsitul veacurilor, dupa o gestatie de cca 135 zile, femela naste un pui, cu blana (tot cu inele albe), care va trai 'happily ever after' (cu 2 de p, tre' sa retin iar) imediat ce obtine tot ceea ce-si doreste: hrana sufleteasca de la soare.

It's mine, I tell you

2008-07-16T16:31:00.007+02:00

Un articol numit It's mine, I tell you publicat de The Economist descrie 'the endowment effect', efectul improprietaririi, tradus cumva in romana. E vorba de o trasatura genetica specifica homo sapiens si primatelor care ii conditioneaza pe acestia sa puna o valoare mai mare pe diferite lucruri pe care deja le poseda decit pe lucruri care pot fi dobindite. De exemplu, intr-un experiment, niste studenti au fost reticenti in a schimba o cana de cafea pe un baton de ciocolata, chiar daca nu ar fi preferat cafeaua in schimbul batonului de ciocolata atunci cind au fost pusi sa aleaga intre cele doua. Efectul e explicat de oamenii de stiinta prin faptul ca indivizii sporesc importanta unei pierderi posibile. Efectul e trait si de comercianti care vind lucruri.

"From basketball tickets to waterfowl-hunting rights to classic albums, once someone owns something, he places a higher value on it than he did when he acquired it—an observation first called “the endowment effect” about 28 years ago by Richard Thaler, who these days works at the University of Chicago."

Endowment effect

From Wikipedia

The endowment effect (also known as divestiture aversion) is a hypothesis that people value a good or service more once their property right to it has been established. In other words, people place a higher value on objects they own than objects that they do not. In one experiment, people demanded a higher price for a coffee mug that had been given to them but put a lower price on one they did not yet own. The endowment effect was described as inconsistent with standard economic theory which asserts that a person's willingness to pay (WTP) for a good should be equal to their willingness to accept (WTA) compensation to be deprived of the good. This hypothesis underlies consumer theory and indifference curves.

Trucuri despre telefonul mobil

2008-07-03T18:43:00.002+02:00

1. Apelul de urgenta este 112 peste tot in lume.Acest numar poate fi apelat si daca ai tastele blocate. Incearca!

> 2. Ti-ai inchis cheile in masina si esti departe de casa,
unde-ti tii cheile de rezerva? Daca este cineva acasa, cu telefon mobil, suna-l si roaga-l sa tina cheile aproape de telefonul lui. Tu apropie telefonul tau la 20 cm de usa masinii. Persoana de acasa apasa pe telecomanda cheii de rezerva si ti se vor deschide usile. Functioneaza si cu usa portbagajului. Incearca!

> 3. Ti s-a descarcat mobilul? Orice mobil are o incarcare de rezerva in baterie, care se activeaza la combinatia *3370# si iti asigura o incarcatura de rezerva de 50%. Cand iti pui telefonul la incarcat, se incarca si rezerva, putand s-o folosesti si alta data.

> 4. Ce poti face, daca ti se fura mobilul? Comerciantii de telefoane tin secret aceasta informatie, ca hotul sa poata folosi telefonul furat si sa consume serviciile telefoniei, iar cel de la care s-a furat, sa-si cumpere telefon nou. Trebuie sa afli seria telefonului tau. Pentru aceasta tasteaza *#06# , fara a apasa alte taste si pe ecran va aparea automat seria. Acest cod este unic in lume si este seria telefonului tau. Noteaza acest cod si pune-l in loc sigur. Daca ti se fura telefonul, anunta operatorul tau de telefonie si comunica-i acest cod. Acesta ii permite sa-ti blocheze telefonul (aparatul in sine) si hotul nu va putea folosi telefonul tau, nici daca schimba cartela SIM. Este putin probabil sa-ti recuperezi vreodata telefonul, dar nici hotul nu-l va putea folosi sau valorifica. Cel mai important aspect de aici este ca, daca toata lumea ar cunoaste acest truc, nu ar mai avea hotii de ce sa fure telefoane. Trimite deci acest mesaj la cat mai multi prieteni. Si nu uita sa-ti notezi seria telefonului.

Pe urmele lui Horace-Bénédict de Saussure

2008-07-01T20:57:00.016+02:00

Horace-Bénédict de Saussure (Februarie 17, 1740 - Ianuarie 22, 1799) a fost un aristrocrat elvetian, fizician si calator 'alpin', care e considerat 'taticul' sau intemeietorul alpinismului. S-a nascut linga Geneva, in Conches.

A ajuns sa bata Alpii in lung si in lat minat de studiile sale in botanica, iar din 1733 si-a indreptat atentia catrea geologia regiunii. Munca sa a contribuit la definirea topografiei partilor inzapezite a muntilor Alpi si a atras atentia turistilor asupra asezarilor montante Chamonix si Zermat. A vizitat pentru prima data Chamonix in 1760 cind a si organizat un concurs prin care intentiona sa-l premieze pe primul om care va escalada virful Mont Blanc (4.810), cel mai inalt virf din Europa (de la Vestul Rusiei), pe atunci necucerit. A avut el insusi o incercare esuata de cucerire a virfului in 1785. Insa in 1786, doi localnici din Chamonix, Michel Paccard si Jacques Balmat, au spart gheata si au atins climaxul la 4810 de metri altitudine. Ole! In cele din urma, Saussure a reusit si el sa atinga virful muntos in 1787, dupa doua esecuri ce-i drept.
