The
ubiquitous yin-yang symbol holds its roots in Taoism/Daoism, a Chinese religion
and philosophy. The yin, the dark swirl, is associated with shadows, femininity,
and the trough of a wave; the yang, the light swirl, represents brightness,
passion and growth. John Bellaimey explains why we all contain the spirit of
yin and of yang -- and how we can achieve a balance of both in our lives.

How
does evolution really work? Actually, not how some of our common evolutionary
metaphors would have us believe. For instance, it's species, not individual
organisms, that adapt to produce evolution, and genes don't "want" to
be passed on -- a gene can't want anything at all! Alex Gendler sets the record
straight on the finer points of evolution.

GESTALT PRINCIPLES
Search Results
Featured snippet from the web
Gestalt principles or laws are rules that describe how the human eye perceives visual elements. These principles aim to show how complex scenes can be reduced to more simple shapes. They also aim to explain how the eyes perceive the shapes as a single, united form rather than the separate simpler elements involved.

ZOHNERISM : TWISTING FACTS TO CONFUSE PEOPLE
*Twisting of simple facts to confuse people*.
In 1997, 14 year old Nathan Zohner presented his science fair project to his classmates, seeking to ban a highly toxic chemical from it’s everyday use.
The chemical in question? *Dihydrogen monoxide*.
Throughout his presentation, Zohner provided his audience scientifically correct evidence as to why this chemical should be banned.
He explained that dihydrogen monoxide:
Causes severe burns while it’s in gaseous form.
Corrodes and rusts metals.
Kills countless amounts of people annually.
Is commonly found in tumors, acid rain etc.
Causes excessive urination and bloating if consumed.
Zohner also noted that the chemical is able to kill you if you depend on it and then experience an extended withdrawal.
*He then asked his classmates if they actually wanted to ban dihydrogen monoxide*.
And so *43 out of the 50 children* present voted to ban this clearly toxic chemical.
However…this chemical isn’t typically considered toxic at all.
*In fact, dihydrogen monoxide is simply an unconventional name for water*.
Nathan Zohner’s experiment wasn’t a legitimate attempt to ban water, but instead *an experiment to get a representation of how gullible people can really be*.
Also, all of the points that Zohner used to convey his point were 100% factually correct; he just skewed all of the information in his favor by omitting certain facts.
One journalist eventually dubbed this event as *Zohnerism*, where *true facts are misled towards false conclusions*.
*And this occurs a lot more often than you think, especially when politicians, conspiracy theorists, etc., use proven facts to persuade people into believing false claims*.
*The fact that people can mislead, and be misled so easily, is highly unsettling*.
PRACTICAL ADVICE FROM HEAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Now something practical and honest from the :
Head of the Infectious Disease Clinic, University of Maryland,
USA:
1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact.
2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, drinking gallons of hot water - you'll just go to the bathroom more often.
3. Washing hands and maintaining a
two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection.
4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.
5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection.
Wash your hands, live your life as usual.
6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the ‘flu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by ordering food.
7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19.
8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower!
Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!
9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.
10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens (just keeping your physical protection distance), through parks.
11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria.
12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.
13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years - drop infections don't spread like that!
14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.
15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.
16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. Better just to wash your hands regularly.
17. Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. Even if you eat immunity boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach.
Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.
