“Many men have deep rooted problems regarding the status of women, and during sex these problems come out. They consciously or unconsciously project anger and hate towards women they have sex with. This energy enters a woman's subtle physical body and damages it.” MenProblemBodyHateEnergySexBuddhismProjectsSexualityDamageSubtleRootedPhysical Body Author:Frederick Lenz
“I suppose it's not a social norm, and not a manly thing to do - to feel, discuss feelings. So that's what I'm giving the finger to. Social norms and stuff...what good are social norms, really? I think all they do is project a limited and harmful image of people. It thus impedes a broader social acceptance of what someone, or a group of people, might actually be like.” PeopleThinkingGivingFeelsFeelingsBodyMightSocialStuffRelationshipGroupsAcceptanceProjectsFingersThings To DoNormManlySocial NormsSocial Acceptance Book:Trouble (poetry, contemporary) Source: Trouble (poetry, contemporary)
“Even as a child I was fascinated by death, not in a spiritual sense, but in an aesthetic one. A hamster or guinea pig would pass away, and, after burying the body, I'd dig it back up: over and over, until all that remained was a shoddy pelt. It earned me a certain reputation, especially when I moved on to other people's pets. "Igor," they called me. "Wicked, spooky." But I think my interest was actually fairly common, at least among adolescent boys. At that age, death is something that happens only to animals and grandparents, and studying it is like a science project.” PeopleThinkingChildrenBodyHappensAgeSpiritualCertainInterestAnimalCommonBoysStudyProjectsMovedReputationWickedPetFascinatedAestheticPigsGrandparentPassing AwaySpookyMoved OnGuineaBuryingHamstersAll That RemainsGuinea PigsI Moved On Author:David Sedaris
“Suppose that the organism is given the problem of determining the analysis of a stimulus at a certain level of representation - e.g., the problem of determining which sequence of words a given utterance encodes. Since, in the general case, transducer outputs underdetermine perceptual analyses, we can think of the solution of such problems as involving processes of nondemonstrative inference. In particular, we can think of each input system as a computational mechanism which projects and confirms a certain class of hyputheses on the basis of a certain body of data.” ThinkingProblemBodyCertainGivenProcessLevelsClassCasesParticularProjectsSolutionsBasesDataAnalysisMechanismRepresentationOrganismsSequenceStimulusInvolvingInputUtteranceOutputInference Author:Jerry Fodor
“The Ancients, having taken into consideration the rigorous construction of the human body, elaborated all their works, as especially their holy temples, according to these proportions; for they found here the two principal figures without which no project is possible: the perfection of the circle, the principle of all regular bodies, and the equilateral square.” HumansTwoBodyFoundPrinciplesTakenFiguresHolyProjectsPerfectionCirclesProportionConsiderationTemplesSquaresConstructionPrincipalHuman Body Author:Luca Pacioli
“You have to look at the body of work you're doing and then figure out the best way for people to digest it. You want people to come in and listen to all of it and understand the entire project. I think it's bad when everyone's like, "This is how you have to do it."” PeopleThinkingWayWantLooksBodyFiguresProjectsBest Way Author:Jack Antonoff
