I've had countless of nightmares involving tornadoes. Over 10, I think.

That plant at 0:40 looks soooo quad dominant... just look at it - knees bent, rest of the body vertical, push at the knees. Now I'm waiting for Today to say that's "glute dominant". My ass is glute dominant! Like, literally. Quad dominant - head to rim. Tired of the "quads aren't that important for athleticism" rhetoric.

I hate that PG that's in a suit, for Miami, has such a tremendously douchbaggery face like I can't remember the last one that looked more douchebaggery than his. Makes me think of that guy from Game of Thrones for some reason, Ramsay, that piece of shit.

Maybe it's a matter of being pre-programmed to recognize a great environment to live in - so when we see these vivid colors etc we recognize that as being an environment rich in nutrients/a place that increases your chances of living/reproducing, and makes you "naturally like it". I think that's the explanation.

I wonder what's up with the human fascination with landscapes?

TENs machines, deep heat creams etc work via this too. It's why when you bash your knee you instinctively rub it to make it hurt less riight?
Oh and raptor, sapolsky is awesome! 'why zebras dont get ulcers' was one of the best non-scientific science books I ever read! I need to read more of his stuff.
Definitely. Already watched 3 of his courses (each of about 12 hours). Then there's a big series on youtube from his lectures at Stanford. It can be found here:

Tried to upload the video, and after I did, it was immediately removed for copyright issues, even being unlisted, wtf!
Anyway, attached a picture with what's going on:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By8lzXoJJdmqSXlRT0tiZ1JWVnM/view?usp=sharing
To translate what's going on there, it's like this:
Sharp pain = neuron X stimulated, then after a short time neuron Y is fired and it inhibits neuron X, pain disappears
Chronic pain = neuron X stimulated, neuron Y is inhibited, neuron X keeps firing => chronic pain that doesn't stop
When you generate some acute pain ("rough" massage) you fire the acute pain pathway, neuron X gets stimulated through that pathway (it was already stimulated through the chronic pathway) but then neuron Y gets stimulated as well, and Y inhibits X. So you can force neuron Y to fire through this acute pain that you're inflicting, in turn making X to be turned off (hopefully).
