If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?



My parents used to say "your friends" instead of "everyone else" and I used to say "yes" because my friends are the kind of people that if they were to jump off a cliff, they would have calculated to trajectory, the physics, foreseen the landing point and probably even taken security measures.


And everytime I said "yes" I felt like that one meme that says "Joke's on you, I' m into that shit."







And for all the people who said "No", You obviously did not watch M Night Shyamalan's movie The Happening.

The characters in The Happening had great reasoning. The plants started warning people they were in a 00s Shyamalan movie. I'd lie down in front of a combine, too.

(PS - please don't watch it, it's awful, and I can't get you your 90 minutes back. In short, your friends might jump off without any good reason)

Predicting human behavior

I was reading this book on the extent of the seemingly insignificant nonverbal behaviors influencing the perception of others and I thought it was interesting. I think that subconsciously, people pick up certain behavioral cues, without even knowing about people. This would lead to creating preconceived notions and "I don't know why, but I don't like him/her." Usually it's something small. For example, when you first meet a person and you don't see them smile, you may not think a big deal of it, but later on, the subconscious will hold on to it and you may eventually find yourself thinking of sadness or depression the next time you think of this person. It is said that we cannot be certain of the way that humans behave. I agree in the sense that one may not be able to completely determine the behavior of another in a social setting, but I was wondering if, by being more aware of body language and other nonverbal cues, could we control the cues that we subcon

A Reincarnation Theory

I was wondering upon how different religions have their stands on reincarnation, and if it were possible, how it would work and I reached an almost working theory. Who knows, maybe it's true. I could not find anything on the internet relating to my idea, so I wanted to post it here to hear your thoughts on it and if you may know of a similar theory that some human in the history of humanity probably already came up with:  Okay, sothis theory can also work to explain the “deja-vu” and definitions as well as explanations for time. However, it doesn’t solve the birth to death rate ratio problems.  Time flows in blocks. Each event in the block is cyclic. For example, if I die, I can be reborn as someone else, and all the life events can happen in the same way. Maybe, sometimes, decisions could be different, leading to different results, but the main events would be the same. Each time a person dies, their soul would be transferred to another body and the rotation will continue with eac

Learn something new everyday #1

Today I learned about Wolfgang Engels. He is  a former East German soldier. In late April 1963, the man stole a military tank from his base while the crew was at lunch and drove it right through the Berlin wall to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin. The East Berlin populace was so used to seeing tanks out on the streets that they actually stopped traffic to let the guy pass. The tank got stuck halfway through the wall and he got out, under heavy fire and successfully made the escape. He got his freedom, but his mother (a devout communist) disowned him. He became a biology teacher, retired and now works as a Docent at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The badassery of it. The sheer idea that "Tank. Wall. Let's do it" and then actually doing it. Damn. There were other folks who beat the Berlin wall as well.  In May 1963, Austrian Heinz Meixner drove a convertible right under the checkpoint gate. He realized the car is just short enough to make it, so he removed th
