but maybe the kids using screens are just watching dumb videos and the kids not looking at screens are reading books or using their brain |

Most of our brain cells are glial cells, once thought to be mere support cells, but now understood as having a critical role in brain function. Glial cells in the human brain are markedly different from glial cells in other brains, suggesting that they may be important in the evolution of brain function. |

I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it. |

I have a very specific memory of watching 'Singing in the Rain,' and looking at myself in the mirror after watching it and perceiving myself as one of those people that I was just watching on T.V. It was just kind of a knowing that this would be the world that I would enter into. And that's what I did. |

I actually think Bill Gates is conventionally smarter, even though it's a dumb word, but mental processing power - I've watched him use four different screens, process information, get to the right answer, boom boom boom. |

I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I'm not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don't bother reading the rest, especially with novels. I'm not a book-club style reader. I'm not looking for life lessons or wanting people to think I'm smart because I'm reading a certain book. |

I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde. |

I was never interested in becoming an actor. I was directing videos. I was never into acting. I was into shooting music videos. I've only ever been behind the camera. Never in front of it. |

We have to remain humble about our understanding of the brain, because even our most powerful tools remain pretty blunt instruments for decoding the brain. In fact, we still do not know how to decipher the basic language of how the brain works. |

If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down. |

Everybody wants to be a better version of themselves - everybody. And I hope one day I can lose some weight. Maybe, who knows, I'll hire myself a trainer and a fancy cook. In five years, maybe I'll be an action hero. Then again, maybe I'll just be this guy. Who knows? But the fun part is embracing the human side of that. |

Sunglasses That Block All the Screens Around You
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ivancash/irl-glasses-glasses-that-block-screens
Scott Blew, an entrepreneur and engineer, recalled an article he'd recently read in WIRED about a new kind of film that blocked the light emitted from screens. He wondered if the same technology might work on a pair of glasses, to block the screens that seemed to be everywhere. From a report:
He contacted Steelcase, the company that made the Casper screen-bloc...

Hey everyone! I'm Charlie's buddy MiiIIiIIIiiRRiiAAmmmMMmm for those of you who don't know me (and Reed's roommate if any of you know him). I was hoping maybe one or two or three of you could help me out with something. I AM IN NEED OF KIDS.
Explanation: I'm learning how to administer cognitive tests to kids as part of my training in clinical psychology. I need to find children ages 6 to 16 that would be willing to take practice cognitive tests with me this summer (and parents that are willing), but I don't know any in kids in Michigan. Do any of you have siblings/cousins that are kids or know people who have kids that might be interested? A lot of kids actually find it fun, and I would give them a small prize/thank-you gift. I'm also really, really desperate.

I had a dream that I was playing basketball with someone I haven't seen since 5th grade and he smashed a can of rootbeer on the ground and that all seemed normal, but then the simulation that is our universe gets hacked and all the children in the world decide their only purpose is to kill all the adults. Some of the kids are very young and very dumb and zombie like. I somehow meet up with my friend who appears to know a lot about the hack and a lot of experience with the kids. He's telling me all the most effective ways to murder large numbers of children of various age groups. Then as we're kind of quickly walking away from some toddlers he jumps in a golf cart and seems to accidentally run me over as he drives it toward the toddlers and then I woke up.

Study Finds Flaw In Emergent Gravity https://phys.org/news/2018-08-flaw-emergent-gravity.html
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Phys.Org:
In recent years, some physicists have been investigating the possibility that gravity is not actually a fundamental force, but rather an emergent phenomenon that arises from the collective motion of small bits of information encoded on spacetime surfaces called holographic screens. The theory, called emergent gravity, hinges on the existence of a close connection between gravity and thermodynamics. Emergent gravity has received its share of criticism, however, and a new paper adds to this by showing that the holographic screen surfaces described b...
