The EADD Inspirational and Thought Provoking Stuff Thread

[Wigrid]

Thanks knock.
For some reason I had an image of Super Ted on a PC when I read it.

 

[parttime crackhead]

ted is "technology, education and design". It's mostly a bourgeois wankfest but contains the odd hidden gem. A fair few gems really.

Good description. I only really started paying attention to it recently, although I've heard about it for a while without really knowing what it was.

I watched this one last night. I like this guy, because I totally fucking agree with him & had been saying the same things to people at work earlier that day (that's how I ended up looking up psychic debunk videos lol).

James Randi's fiery takedown of psychic fraud

Although there's something not quite right with these TED cunts - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FNenJN4484

Any other good ones? I'm not into pure heavy science shit, I'm far too stoned for that the now. Just something interesting.

haha yeah that eddie huang video cracked me up.

I got it wrong, the E is for entertainment, not education. That explains some of the shite.

This is good Hjernevask (eng sub)

and also has Borats cousin in it.

Myshkin should watch more of this and les neo-feminist claptrap.

 

[Myshkin]

links to neo-nazi material might be thought provoking

They might be inspirational to some too.

Come again?

If you watch that episode I linked to (the whole series is excellent btw) it comes to a lot of the same conclusions I do about gender differences, when we were arguing the toss a while back. (h interviews a bunch of scientists from the west about gender roles and whatnot)

 

[Myshkin]

arguing the toss a while back.

Was I a feminist or a misogynist that day?

 

[Ceres]

you were a mod.

SCIENCE VINDICATES MY CLAIMS THAT HORMONES ARE WHY MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT

Please don't get him going again Ceres........

 

[Myshkin]

Science?

I thought it was tits that made them different? Or lack of creativity?

Please don't get him going again[\i] Ceres.......

[Wigrid]

Sorry I meant it for someone else.

Hurry up and get banned, yeah?
