Which font is “MANNYWOOD”?
To begin with, those who consult psychics lack honesty … They are afraid to face potentially painful truths about themselves, which is the prerequisite to dealing successfully with their difficulties. Lacking moral fortitude, they are too weak for the difficult task of self-analysis and self-correction.

When Is a Fake a Fraud?
Just found this 2 year-old message from Steve Graham.
I’ve been exploring MySpace for the past hour. I think they could have continued to dominate if they controlled the insane amounts of spam and focused on satisfying users. From a social perspective, I find it much more interesting to study people on there versus Facebook. People on MySpace are way more uninhibited and willing to display their personality without fear of criticism from friends.

What information consumes is rather obvious: It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.

“Due to a dispute with EMI, Danger Mouse will release his next album (a collaboration with Sparklehorse) as a blank CD-R, on which the buyer can then burn the album downloaded from the file-sharing network of their choice.”

I wish Tumblr allowed direct response to answers on “ask a question” posts.
Anyway, the answers to my last one (“Do you belong to a religion?”) were crystal clear:
Rational:stevegraham answered: religion is a crutch for a feeble mind
pureblog answered: No reason to have a religion.
Irrational:
geaninna answered: cuz it makes the most sense to me. gives me more hope in life. benefits me & gives me some peace of mind amongst other things.
amponsah answered: technically i am a christian , i believe in a higher being but not really in the bible…
It’s mind-boggling to me how providing sense of security or hope can make people become immediate, unalterable worshippers of an organization. The two most poignant examples of this are, of course, universities and religion - both huge businesses.
My problem with this is that both examples promote false hope and an alternative to reality, which doesn’t exist. In education’s case, it’s the false hope that a degree will somehow land you an excellent job and life. With religion, it’s the false hope that by “doing good” you will eventually be rewarded when you die. Neither of these fallacies have a rational basis, yet millions and millions of people continue to be swayed by them.
