Penrose is a wonderfully original and thorough thinker and his slides are actually waaaaaaay cool. Love them to bits and they never fail to put a smile on my face.

I liked the man, but he has obviously never heard of Aung San Sung Kyi which, as a journalist, he should have. Abhaja! :)

I had some cold showers running down my spine when Craig declared Christianity as the only true religion and really believes in devils and exorcism. I have Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim and Taoist friends and never judge people by their beliefs and take them for who they are. So I feel quite of...

This is probably one of my favourite videos of all time. It summarizes the feel of a whole generation. It reminds me of my first years in Bangkok intense clubbing and we all were on a lot of mineral water back then. No regrets, we have all moved on from then and it was part of our story.Amazing s...

You guys are plain wonderful. I was really down a few days ago and your music turned my soul around and cheered me up. Five of you playing one guitar.. what a goofy idea! You have enough talent to catapult all of us into the stratosphere. Greetings from Thailand! Joana

Thank you for the relaxed clarification, most interestingly that DSM has actually no scientific base and methodology

Happy you guys liked it. For credits: The voice-talent was Hans Kirkels, one of my colleagues at work, who did a fantastic job. My love to the both of you :)

People who can't even even tell a camera from a weapon shouldn't handle high-tech weaponry

The question is how you educate young people for the uncertainty of an unknown future. This to me is a strong endorsement to Problem Based learning (PBL) and the development of meta-cognitive skills: what are the good reasons for or against this argument? Plus social and communicative skills ... :)

This was such an amazing film and I still marvel how well Radiohead fits into this scene: Whose army do you serve? Valid question.

A great movie with great portraits of people entangled closely in the climate change. We need to be aware of our own madness in order to be motivated to develop solutions.

@raventelevision my pleasure; check out his lectures named Before the Big Bang? Cheers!

What to do when one is actually afraid of the dark?

If there was no free will then we couldn't discuss it, could we? LOL

Robbo and Banksy seem both having fun poking each other, so I don't see it as a 'versus', just that Banksy offers a very well communicating visual language and Robbo is perhaps a 'classic' graffiti artist, but not that unique. Keith Harring was really my first hero and he had a similar easy irony...

thanks for sharing... though I don't understand which pieces you hate and for which reasons?

@psykos448 the reporter-Morrissey dialogue cracked me up :) thanks!

it is a question on everybody's mind: what happened to America? Is it in the hands of the rich now, religious fundamentalists, a rich elite....? Fighting too many wars cost too much money but now the money is gone. It all ends up in a Chinese shopping bag these days while Americans can't even pay...

This song has become one of the masterpieces of modern rock and hearing Freddie sing always breaks my heart. Not many people with so much soul in their voice. RIP Freddie.

another sad low budget production, no proper storyboard, no proper voice-over, no animation, no nothing: Fail

absolutely stunning work , what can I say?

a wonderful little 'noir' animation film that certainly deserved more views. It develops wonderfully ....

absolutely stunning, how long did it take? :)

For fish swarms and flocks of birds I would explain swarming and flocking by electromagnetic fields. We already know how fish are sensitive to electrical charge and birds are sensitive towards magnetic fields. A swarm is creating a single field so it behaves like a single organism. In animation ...

@RazzaBeeDaSilva dreams are a re-organization of memory and dreaming re-sets the thresholds of neural pathways to recalibrate our brain for use the following day in order to maintain sensitivity. Lates research sees dreaming as a conscious process

Sheldrake takes very courageous stand which is commendable. I agree with Dr. Peter Fenwick that science should be a system of open inquiry. The placebo effect is a very simple and effective example of 'mind over matter'.

The issue is that we cannot subcontract critical tasks of the mind to body extensions. A stolen laptop or and erased important folder may serve as examples, my students getting less intelligent (to put it politely) because they do not train their minds (literacy) and memory any more: they only re...

great sense of humor, fantastic music, so much soul it is a joy!
