particularly mind-expanding drugs are of interest. psychedelics: psilocybin, dmx, lsd, mescaline, etc. what was the setting you were in? what was the state of mind you were in when you took them? how did the drug make you feel? what were physical reactions? cognitive reactions? did you trip? any hallucinations? be specific and don't be worried about legal issues... they aren't important here.

The brain scan that can read people's intentions

Call for ethical debate over possible use of new technology in interrogation

Ian Sample, science correspondent

Using the technology is 'like shining a torch, looking for writing on a wall'. CT image: Charles O'Rear/Corbis
A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act.
The research breaks controversial new ground in scientists' ability to probe people's minds and eavesdrop on their thoughts, and raises serious ethical issues over how brain-reading technology may be used in the future.
The team used high-resolution brain scans to identify patterns of activity before translating them into meaningful thoughts, revealing what a person planned to do in the near future. It is the first time scientists have succeeded in reading intentions in this way.

Do they just barge in their dressing rooms and say, "I want to have sex with you?". I never understood it.

Hey guys! This is a strange question I know, but I was curious as to why people cannot remember anything from their infancy like their first birthday party? Does it have something to do with our brain functionality? Thanks alot!

In my school we have the subject economics and we talked about the PED (price elasticity of demand). But I didn't really understand what it means and what it is for.
It would be very nice of you if you could explain it to me (but please in simple english, 'cause I'm from Germany).
Thanks!

I was considering changing my mind and going into studying pychopaths on death row. I find it fascinating how they can be so normal yet so disturbed. I know it would take years of school but it may be worth it. Anyone majoring in this or has a career in this please respond. ;)

We are depenent on China now. Nearly everything we need , use, wear and enjoy is Chinese. Look around you. Even Mercedes and BMW manufacture cars in China and why not? Quality is good and prices low.

Your TV, Computer, Ipod, cell phone, clothes etc..Chinese.

What if they decide to cut us off? we'll be crippled and the most likely cause would US aggression.

The Chinese and Russians are buddies now..

Theres a new space race...the US is trying to get there (for the first time) before the Chinese.

If the Chinese pull the plug on America we'll be sent back to the stone age in no time.
