I currently work in a cardiovascular and Diabetes lab conducting human trials of metabolism and cardiovascular modifying medications and am attempting to transition into graduate school. I will post about; Science, Art, Film, History, Literature, Fashion, Music, and what's going on in my life. I will likely steer clear of political related posts, as I've become utterly disenchanted.
Social interactions and daily tasks involved in being a successful member of the human species can sometimes feel automated and depersonalizing. Sometimes others appear as malfunctioning machines, repeating the same maladaptive or just menial behaviors. . .and thats when sometimes philosophy is the only consolation, well that and laughing and maybe a mountain hike.
My Statement: I believe we humans live in an environment surrounded by biology and technology, yet a majority of us focus merely on short sighted effects of those things. Contemporary discoveries in science and advances in technology describe an existence in a much more mechanistic way than any of us could have imagined. Being able to incorporate this information into our conscious while maintaining respect for human creativity and emotion will be important for future human technological advancements and environmental management. I also believe life extension "200 years +" via bio-physiological modification is well within the grasp of my generation, and I'll do my best to participate in these efforts.

Not Strictly Human-centric: Um, English Isn't The Only Language With Filler Words
Did you know that the often unconscious compulsion to say “um,” “like,” and “you know,” occurs across all languages? Filler words are neutral words or sounds that signal a pause in speech so a speaker can maintain a conversation’s flow. Some people pepper their conversation…
Sometimes I say “like” so much it’s embarrassing.

Weak Sense of Smell is Biomarker for Psychopathy
Studies have shown that people with psychopathic traits have impaired functioning in the front part of the brain - the area largely responsible for functions such as planning, impulse control and acting in accordance with social norms. In addition, a dysfunction in these areas in the front part of the brain is linked to an impaired sense of smell.
…oh,uhh hmm. Don’t look at me like that. Not crazy yet, I’m still young though.
I just do art because I’m ugly and there’s nothing else for me to do.

Modest Mouse, Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe In
Hey, haven’t seen you around in a while, hey
I didn’t go to work for a month
I didn’t leave my bed for eight days straight
I haven’t hung out with anyone
‘Cause if I did, I’d have nothing to say
I didn’t feel angry or depressed
I didn’t feel anything at all
I didn’t want to go to bed
And I didn’t want to stay up late
When youre living your life, well, that’s the price you pay
