Is it just a coincidence that smartest person (stephen hawking) is disabled, or is it because of his inability to interact with the physical world that he's able to focus on the transcendent abstractions of theoretical physics? Either way, he'd probably be a top notch physicist, but how much less would he have contributed to our understanding of the universe if he'd been able to lead a more normal life?

I am 32 years old 16 years ago I was in a major car accident. The doctors told my mother that I would probably not live, and if I did, I would be a vegetable. Then they said that I would never be able to walk. I am walking. The teachers said I would never graduate college. I did!!! I got a job at Target, worked extremely hard, probably harder than I should have for 90 days. When I had my 90 day review, my boss told me that I was worthless. It pissed me off and I told him off. I ended up quitting my job. That was ten years ago. I have a BA in Liberal Studies. What do I need to do?

They can't run 100m in under 10 seconds.

So they really can't do everything if they put their mind to it.

Without just giving the person the number for a suicide hotline (though that's probably a good idea), what's the best thing to say to a person who is seriously thinking about ending their life?

on the Alps with no food, and you were forced to eat someone from your party, what limb would you start with? I would go for the weakest muscle, surely that would be the best meat. Like the tender loins, backstraps. Do you think someone lazy would have good arms?

Death can be viewed as a total illusion because you are dead already! When you can see yourself as the total cycle of death, within life and the life within death, you have surrendered. What lies in that break causing an illusion?

I find that many people I encounter are so much less the people than I imagined or expected them to be. What is it? Am I an elitist egomaniac or an alien or what?
Thanks

Why is so much of our culture devoted to sex? Why cant we all be a little more modest about sex and such things. I myself am a 21 year old male virgin at NYU and plan to permanently stay that way, but its hard, especially in NYC where nearly everything (advertisements, ect.) are about sex.

It seems like this is more of a classification science and not one based on successful techniques and agreement of valid axioms. I mean if you have a bladder infection, the doctor gives you antibiotics and whalah it goes away. Does something like this ever happen in psychotherapy? Why ? why not?

theories still valid? In particular I am refering to Skinner's Operant conditioning and whether it is worthwhile to read texts on behavior modication from the 70s or after. Has the field moved far enough where in order to get a worhwhile understanding one who have to read texts from the 90s or would it be advantegous to read texts after 2000, or would any text within 30 years still be worth reading. To me, it would not be worth reading if it was simply to gain a historical perspective. Any advice here would be helpful, especially if someone could name some good texts to start with adn then a few to move up to. Thanks btw send me a email if you feel inclined to do so, I would enjoy to discuss with matter in more detaill.

Alfred Nobel once saw an obituary accidentally declaring his death. The heading was "The man who invented the dynamite died", he was so shocked and saddened, by this incident, he thought of doing something for which people would remember him in good faith. And he introduced the Nobel Prize, which awards people who done something better for the society in the fields of Peace, Science, Literature, Economics, etc. It really makes me wonder, how do you want to be remembered as when you die?
