Social Science - 15 July 2007

What if I was an ET (but I blend in perfectly in any place & culture) and I had only 48 hours to do my observing, interacting, surveying and studying earthlings before I had to report back to my home planet. I have 24 hours to investigate online, and 24 hours offline. (And no, I don't have to sleep but I can if I want to.) Where to go? What to do? With whom? I want to get the best results possible. Thanks for your co-operation!

Seriously. I dreamt that I was trying to find some blue court shoes in size 10 for a greyhound to wear. I woke up and wondered where on earth such a daft dream could have come from.

I'm Brazilian. I live in Brazil and this question is for real. I don't want to compare Brazil to the US. Brazil has gone through a long period of dictatorship, without any democracy at all, unfortunally. But I know some americans and notice there are very few of them (almost nobody) who can tell me why the US has been so much attacked recently not only with bombs and other physical threats but also in the international press (in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, South and Central Americas, everywhere). So the public opinion in the US is completely unaware of the reasons of so much hate against their country. There is the international media and then there is the US media which creates its own reality to be broadcasted and believed by 99% of their public. Is that democracy when you can't judge without any reliable information?

I am pretty shy, but am working on becoming more and more confident. My question is, how do you master becoming more confident but not arrogant? I know some people who claim that they are "really confident"- but always come off as arrogant to me (always have to put others down, compare, and think that they are God's gift to humanity.. So in your opinion, how do you master becoming confident but not arrogant.

I mean there are people out there who believe that the Bible is a literal history of the world and that the universe was created in about a week some 6,000 years ago!

Do they believe this because they are badly educated or do they just have a low IQ?

I actually quite like spiders ( I have 3 resident in my bathroom and one behind the bed!) but these nightly dreams are making me scared of them. Last night I dreamt a huge white one was sucking blood out of my arm - I screamed and screamed and woke up the neighbours! I think I know that spider = mother, I haven't spoken to mine for 10 years, and have no intention of tracing her/making up so that is a non-starter for a solution. Will I always get these dreams? (I had them when I used to speak to her too!)

Assume that John Doe is being hypnotized. After the hypnosis is over, the hypnotist would say,"When I count one, two, three, you'll wake up." John Doe is asleep. All of a sudden, something happens and the hypnotist dies of a heart attack. Will John Doe ever wake up? Has this ever happened? Serious answers only, please.

I feel like this is a stupid question, but I want to hear what you think...

Do you think that a man WOULD NOT be interested in a woman with a PhD? Or would this be viewed as a good thing?
