  1. Someone took the video's covering his lectures on physics down from google video which was upsetting but I've managed to find them here, Feynman really is the teacher of teachers when it comes to physics. Amazing scientist, I actually love him.

  2. I'd say the flaw is in our education system firstly, compassion is not a school subject, imagine if compassion had been a school subject for the last 200 years there would be many better parents out there and many positive knock on effects that follow it. We understand humans are impressionable and then waste this opportunity by basing a society around hedonistic consumerism.

    Obviously places like Rwanda could have really benefited from this sort of education, their culture is plagued with all sorts of hocus pocus and misinformation, much like everybody was before the age of scientific understanding.

    We have a savage imperialistic history to transition from but people are becoming increasingly empowered with decent information, it's just a matter of time (more than our lifetime probably but that doesn't bother me) before human consciousness grows into a type 1 civilization.

    Saying it's just human nature is naive and just an excuse to do nothing..

  3. humans are human. always have been, always will be. get over it

    There's scientific consensus that we are a product of our environment and experiences, which means human behaviour is not set in stone, our brain learns as it grows. Growing up in our society it's easy to see how we can be such assholes.

  4. Aluminium clogs up grinding discs.

    You want the grits of the disc to cut sharply into the rim and not the chunks of blunt, soft aluminium. It's therefore best to clean the disc surface on a piece of steel or stone (depending on the type of disc) after grinding approximately 1 foot of rim, exposing fresh, sharp grits again.

    And pull the brake less.

  5. and a work in progress

    That reminds me of a pic I did in year 9 when I couldn't paint arms.. sort of a surreal expression of being someone's bitch.

  6. Going down a really steep hill, realised Pashley's don't corner well at 35mph, crashed into a rock, punched myself in the face (proper hard, holding the handlebar), can't remember what happened next but I slowly walked home afterwards.
