Point: Buddhist texts. View: Executive Functioning. Perspective: It looks to me like Buddhist thought is suggesting that most everyone is way more impulsive than they are aware of. And meditation is a practice that helps people move away from the delusions created by impulsivity.

Lotta dudes catch a glimpse of the metaphorical matrix and take that as evidence they ain't still in it. Like rewiring is that easy, like it's not a lifetime project.

Hyperbole is to be taken literally as a primary tactic of persuasion in these times.

Modeling research on the embodied nature of language and then considering the general state of the world is pretty revealing.

Modeling metacognition, why might the ability to understand metaphors and parables make one more likely to recognize and try to reform their hypocrisy?

Exaggeration in place of evidence makes me nauseous.

America doesn't exist where people aren't struggling to distinguish what is self-evident from what is self-serving and move the damn ball on this problem.

One's perspective, reveals their vantage point on a view.

Meditation, among other things is fairly solid executive functioning practice. Start, sustain, shift, working memory are all there.

Nostalgia is evidence that you can't or won't see how the seeds for today's calamities where there all along...on a continuum.

Speaking about most problems using a single cause, is at best, woefully foolish. And on the other side of that continuum- sowing delusion (through emotional rhetoric) for personal gain.

“Art requires resolute and unremitting industry, as well as incessant observation. By resolute industry I mean, in the first place, constant industry, as also the power of maintaining one's own point of view against the assertions of others.” -Van Gogh

If there's music out there staying awake
To cry and drain every eye until
Hatred's eliminated
And music that can help you feel great
And come together in 'the fictive dream'
With a kind of Randy Newman take
There's music that can take you away- T Hip

Man arrives at self-serving conclusion with no evidence to support it. Cites common sense.
