About me
Born in 1976 in Turkey. Spent 50% of my life in Istanbul, 50% in Vienna.
Love thinking, reading, science-fiction, coffee, mathematics, science, cosmology, astronomy, teaching mathematics, programming, drawing, photographing, kung fu, tai chi, parlour games, knitting, and learning about all these...
Why I use Clipmarks
I use Clipmarks mostly to save and categorize information I might need or might want to re-read later. Some information seems so good, I don't want to lose hold of it.
Sometimes I clip to share information I find interesting.
Add (19.12.2007): I think I become acquainted with the "addictive" side of CM.

How to Escape Perfectionism
splendidus
by splendidus  9-9-2009   
 "To the chagrin of those of you who regard yourselves as perfectionists, you simply exhibit perfectionistic tendencies in an unrealistic attempt to achieve what in the majority of cases cannot be achieved to begin with." I guess, that's why we never actually "attempt", because we know/sense it's impossible... That doesn't keep us from wanting to achieve... It's frustrating eventually...

 Cases like Waterman?s are remarkable in the precision of the damage: Waterman lost none of the nerves that control muscle movement and he is still able to feel temperature, pain, deep pressure and muscle fatigue (see chart on page 20). He has lost all of the cutaneous nerves that provide the skin with the sense of touch and all of the nerves attached to muscles and tendons that provide a sense of joint and limb position.

The myth of the Concentration Oasis
splendidus
by splendidus  2-12-2009   
 "The ability to focus on a single task, relatively uninterrupted, is the strange anomaly in the history of our psychological development. (...) New technology has not created some sort of unnatural cyber-world (...) and when we compare the level of stress and distraction it causes in comparison to the life of the average low-tech family, it's nothing. (...) The past, and for most people on the planet, the present, have never been an oasis of mental calm and creativity. And anyone who thinks they have it hard because people keep emailing them should trying bringing up a room of kids with nothing but two pairs of hands and a cooking pot."

 One man's roller coaster history with coffee: "I like coffee so much that I have tea for breakfast: The first cup of the day in particular is so good that I’m afraid I won’t be able to properly appreciate it when I am half-asleep. Therefore, I celebrate it two hours later when I am fully conscious".

The Brutal Occupation

 We only hear about it when bombs start flying and the torn bodies multiply. Yet what is not mentioned much is that it is part of a constant, inhuman process. Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and many others speaking for social justice have already spoken against it. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/55BFEFC6-E369-416E-AF2E-680D5853FE6C/ Is this the legacy we want as Americans who believe in "all men are created equal"? Is this the example we want to give to the world?

Our world a giant hologram? - New theory, new questions, new possibilities...
splendidus
by splendidus  1-16-2009    8
 'If space-time is a grainy hologram, then you can think of the universe as a sphere whose outer surface is papered in Planck length-sized squares, each containing one bit of information. The holographic principle says that the amount of information papering the outside must match the number of bits contained inside the volume of the universe. Since the volume of the spherical universe is much bigger than its outer surface, how could this be true? Hogan realised that in order to have the same number of bits inside the universe as on the boundary, the world inside must be made up of grains bigger than the Planck length. "Or, to put it another way, a holographic universe is blurry," says Hogan. "Contrary to all expectations, it brings its microscopic quantum structure within reach of current experiments" "If you lived inside a hologram, you could tell by measuring the blurring,"
