Here’s one way to get around the high cost (and hassle) of owning a car… Don’t. Bizarrely, GM – a company that makes cars – thinks it’s time to stop selling cars. Rent them to people instead. By the hour. It is investing in this idea, heavily. The automaker reportedly spent $500 million to buy a controlling stake in Lyft, which is a ride-sharing company like Uber. GM also just announced the ramping up of its own in-house ride-sharing service, an app called Maven.      It lets you call up a Chevy Spark, say, for as little as $6 per hour. … Continue reading →

It’s more than likely you know someone who’s obsessed with their own image. A quick scroll through social media can reveal the narcissists in a constant stream of selfies; you might even be one. Narcissists think they’re better, smarter, and more important than the people around them – and they want to be treated as such, experts say. A new TEDEd video breaks down the different types of narcissism, from the obvious to the not-so-obvious, and explains how these traits almost always take a turn for the dark side. Psychologists define narcissism as an ‘inflated, grandiose self-image,’ and it has … Continue reading →

If you cap the volcano, eventually the pressure beneath rises to the point that the cap gets blown off in spectacular fashion. That the dramatic upheavals of war, pestilence and environmental collapse can trigger social disorder and revolution is well-established. Indeed, this dynamic can be viewed as the standard model of social disorder/revolution: a large-scale crisis—often a bolt-from-the-blue externality—upends the status quo. Another model identifies warring elites and imperial meddling as a source of revolution: a new elite forcibly replaces the current elite (known colloquially as meet the new boss, same as the old boss) or a dominant nation-state/empire arranges … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola Scientists have linked physical exercise to brain health for many years. In fact, there’s compelling evidence that physical exercise helps build a brain that not only resists shrinkage but increases cognitive abilities1 by promoting neurogenesis, i.e. your brain’s ability to adapt and grow new brain cells. In essence, physical activity produces biochemical changes that strengthen and renew not only your body but also your brain — particularly areas associated with memory and learning. The converse is also true. Researchers have shown a sedentary lifestyle correlates to brain shrinkage, which increases your risk of memory loss and other … Continue reading →

The post Your Incredible Shrinking Brain appeared first on LewRockwell.

One reason I do not tweet, text, or use Facebook or Instagram, and only wield a mobile when a landline is unavailable, is because all of the above gadgets are free of anything resembling a credible spoken word emanating from a disease-free brain. The mind-numbing gobbledygook that billions send back and forth constitutes a sort of 10th circle of Dante’s Inferno, oxygen-deprived brains with their imaginations up their backsides, strung out on their own solipsism, benighted, boring, and brain-jolting in their braggadocio. Whew, I finally got that off my chest. When I founded The American Conservative in 2002, and after … Continue reading →

In July 2014 I wrote an article on GoPro and why I predicted that company, and its post-IPO stock, to be severely overvalued. I received dozens of emails from readers who were unhappy with me “bashing” what folks think is a very innovative product. Don’t get me wrong, for I also think it is a beneficial and cool product, and actually, I would actually love to have one for recording some of my own unique memories. I stated that the IPO was ridiculously saturated with irrational exuberance, and the immediate surge in its stock after the IPO was unsustainable do to myriad … Continue reading →
