Project-Name-Origins Contest((Please note this is not an official AA4E contest, ours is coming soon!))Hey, guys! Aikou here~ I've found a contest here on dA that I think needs some more recognition!

Official AA4E Contest Coming Soon!Hey guys and gals! Miss Aikou, here~ So, recently I made a poll asking whether you all would prefer a raffle or a contest and (not surprisingly!) the contest won. Lately I've been thinking of a sort of theme for it, and with some awesome suggestions from you guys I've finally thought of one.It's going to be a color-based contest, wherein you will have to make a picture consisting of only one color (and of course shades of that color!). However, I won't tell you the color yet so you can't cheat and make your picture before the contest even starts!I'm making this journal now to announce that the contest will be starting soon, however we are lacking prize donors. I'm very thankful for you that have offered, as well as those who offered to be judges! It helps tremendously! :iconmolangloveplz: You, the ones who want to help out, will be sent a note from me soon telling you all the details. ^^Points would be especially appreciated, but if you don't have any, you can offer a
VERY NICE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU! - please read!Hey everyone! Please take a look at my personal journal via the link below to find out how you can get your work shown in our group for donating a few points to me, or at least your name recognized in front of our group for your help with my philanthropy goals! I'm raising points so that I can donate more frequently to other deviants I visit! Help me reach my goals! ^^http://fav.me/d7zl8bpThanks, lovelies! (Brook, I stole your phrase)~Co-Founder Solstice:icondragonspif: #PRIDEEDIT: MAYBE I NEED TO BE A BIT MORE DIRECT... e-eOk, so seriously, why is it that I've only had one single deviant actually follow the instructions in my journal and make a journal? I've had 212 page views on it, and only one person decided they want to take me up on my offer. That's also the only person to donate points so far so I suppose, as of now, I only have one showcase lined up. Ok... since most of you probably aren't even going to click the above link to my journal in the first place to find out
Hello again~ A talk about depression and an ideaHey guys, foundress here! It's been kind of a while since I've made a journal, so here I am!Fall is here... so that means sweater-weather, crunchy leaves, and orange and red all around you, and for some, even snow~! And Halloween, and Thanksgiving (if you live in the States, ofc ^^)!What's your favorite thing about autumn? Or if you don't like it, why do you hate it?I have mixed feelings about it. I love the bright orange colors, the feeling of walking on leaves and wearing jackets... But it makes me sad at the same time. I'm not quite sure why. It could be seasonal depression. It could be something that reminds me of not-so-happy times. Sunsets have the same effect on me. Maybe it's the colors, or the symbolism of death, like how a sunset signifies the end of the day, and fall signifies the end of summer; the season of fun and liveliness.I always anxiously (and not in the good way) await Christmas. It hasn't been a fun thing for me since before my aunt died, because the family liv
My philanthropy projectHey guys, would you mind taking a look at this journal when you get a chance:http://fav.me/d7sgb7jIt's about what I'm doing to raise points so that I can give to other deviants.If I've given you a llama recently (almost every single one of our most recent like 1,500 members btw), then I hope you would at least give this journal of mine a read in return for that little llama. Pretty please with sugar on top do me this teeny tiny favor in return for that lovely, sweet, llama-sound-making llama <3p.s. I'm not kidding about that llama thing. I have given almost every single one of our most recent 1,500 members a llama right after they've joined the group. lol you probably think I'm telling a lie.I have my ways of distributing my llamas. :icondragonhehe:I'd love to find a way to distribute some points, though.~Sage
Story Time10/21/2014: Sorry I haven't updated this in a little while! Just so you guys know, you can still write your stories here and I will continue to add them. Hey, again~ We're still in the process of judging entries for our contest, so in the meantime I'll start this little event.I mentioned before that I had an idea; that I could share my story (or at least most of it) and you could all share yours. I'll put every story you tell in the comments here in this journal, because every story is unique and important. However, some of us may share some of the same experiences and I think talking about them together, being able to relate to each other, will help us feel better about our pasts and futures and maybe even make a few friends~So, without further ado...My story isn't a fun one, so be wary. This is a trigger warning.My own personal bad experiences start at around 6 years old, when we had moved to our new 'home', a run-down trailer down in the South. We had been evi

I like 3 Group KiribanA very simple journal. AA4E currently is at around 318k page views. We want that higher. We are doing a kiriban. Person who catches the 333,333 mark gets 333 points. Go. Do. (points will come out of my bank account and not what anyone donated to me for use in my donation and llama rounds btw, just to clarify. Those points I don't use for myself. ^-^ I just got my first paycheck, though, so I can now purchase a few at least for this activity)Haben Sie einen fabelhaften Tag. ^^,~ Founder Solstice D.H.

ONE WEEK REMINDER: The Illuminated World ContestStock & ResourcesThe ChallengeImagine a world where the soft glow of the magnolia blossoms illuminates the sidewalk. The reaching branches of the tree cast their light over the street, reflected in the gathering puddles of a spring rain. A garden nearby is a riot of colors against the deep shadows of the night. The harsh artificial street lights that we know today are gone. What would your world look like? Is it a world where the need for fossil fuel has been eliminated, or have the scientists bio-engineered the earth into a beautiful apocalypse?The idea of bio-luminescent plant illumination is a real project in progress by three scientists in San Francisco, California.

Pool requires a keen knowledge of geometry to sink bank shots and chalk up free-body diagrams before breaking hustlers' thumbs. Wise up with this Groupon.
$40 for Three-Hour Billiards Package (Up to $82.48 Total Value)
- Three hours of pool or snooker for two or more people (up to a $50.85 value)
- One finger-food combo platter with fries, onion rings, zucchini, and chicken nuggets (a $14.13 value)
- One pitcher of beer or soft drink (up to a $17.50 value)
The Orange Monkey
As players sink numbered balls at 14 pool tables, competing in games of 8-ball or 9-ball, others choose to keep a classic sport alive. Though largely forgotten elsewhere, snooker thrives at The Orange Monkey, where six tables challenge newcomers with smaller pockets and deeper strategy. Within the 7,000-square-foot facility, marble pillars and vintage bar signs complement the old-fashioned decor, making the tables feel right at home in their green felt zoot suits. At the bar, pool sharks hunt down drafts of beer and snacks such as breakfast sandwiches, nachos, and hamburgers.
Tips from Groupon Customers
"Really fun place good food great beer"
"Always fun! great service, good beer choices, great tables! Always fun! :-)"
"Staff is very nice and super friendly... the burger was pretty good... but we won't be getting the combo plate again. "

Hedge fund honcho Steve Cohen made the jump from Wall Street to Main Street this week when a character loosely based on him appeared on a CBS crime drama. In a story ripped from the headlines, Thursday night's "Person of Interest" centered on a hedge fund's insider-trading scandal gone awry. The show's hedge fund was called VAC Capital. Cohen's firm is SAC Capital. "I almost fell off the couch laughing," one viewer told The Post about the show's thinly veiled reference to Cohen's $16 billion fund. There were more similarities. The show centered on a doctor who told a young trader at VAC that a drug trial he was overseeing was "about to fail." The trader earned VAC $500 million on the insider tip, which he called "black edge." SAC's traders have also reportedly called such tips "black edge." In the show, the doctor confronts the trader, who blames his boss, the head of VAC. "You don't understand. The boss is on my ass 24/7. Either [I] get black edge or [I'm] out." "Black edge?" the doctor asks. "Inside information that no one else has," the trader replies. [NYP]

Large System Analysis of Zero-Forcing Precoding in MISO Broadcast Channels With Limited Feedback
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors analyze the sum rate of Zero-Forcing (ZF) precoding in MISO broadcast channels with limited feedback, transmit correlation and path loss. Their analysis assumes that the number of transmit antennas M and the number of users K are large, while their ratio remains bounded. By applying recent results from random matrix theory they derive a deterministic equivalent of the Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and compute the sum rate maximizing number of users as well as the limiting sum rate for high Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR), as a function of the channel errors and the channel correlation pattern. Simulations show that theoretical and numerical results match well, even for small system dimensions.

T. Boone Pickens wants full arena
Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State's New Year's Eve matchup against No. 14 Gonzaga is looking like a sellout, thanks to T. Boone Pickens.
The billionaire oilman and Oklahoma State alumnus bought up the remaining 4,000 tickets and will offer them for free to Cowboys fans beginning Wednesday. He says he hopes Oklahoma State fans will pack the arena for the game.
Pickens says buying the tickets will "put a great exclamation point on a promising OSU basketball season."
The No. 23 Cowboys (7-1) are 317-45 at home since 1988.

These forums need player avatars that can be uploaded in place of the ? that is currently being used... Or at least most played hero on that account.
Nat Belmont
Most played hero would be ok, I don't want to have to adblock a million ****ty avatars people think are funny though.
Instead of giving us a most played give us a pool from the characters in the game.
Agreed. If they don't want inappropriate avatars, just give us a pool of preselected ones to choose from. Maybe even unlock special avatars when you unlock certain skins. Just a thought.

I'm an amateur photographer from the UK. I've been using digital cameras and creating digitally manipulated pictures as a hobby since 2001 but have been displaying my pictures online for a couple of years.
I predominantly use a SONY Alpha 350 DSLR and Adobe Photoshop for my current work but have used other cameras and software in the past.
While not taking photos I also spend time programming (my homepage can be found here: www.dpw-shane.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk)
perfect exposure, well done

Have you ever heard of gaslighting?
Maybe not. But you have heard this: a president tells you and millions of others that if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. And you've probably heard that same president backtrack on that statement after it turned out to be wrong by saying that you misheard him.
Over at TruthRevolt, commentator Bill Whittle introduces us to the concept of gaslighting, which involves a sociopath torturing a victim by constantly shifting "the truth."
"Gaslighting is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity," Whittle says.
The Obama administration is adept at gaslighting, and Whittle provides many examples.
Sometimes, the gaslighting effect is so great that victims will join the game – like when CNN anchor Candy Crowley backed up Obama during a debate with Mitt Romney, ruling that Obama had in fact called the attack on Benghazi "terrorism."
"Candy Crowley stepped dutifully forward as the housemaid to corroborate the gaslighting lie and Mitt Romney and you and me – all of us – looked at each other as if we were losing our minds," Whittle said.
Watch Whittle's whole gaslighting explanation above.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/18/14
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Lawrence Frank doesn't want his Detroit Pistons to gorge themselves on devouring opponents' shots. The Pistons had a season-high 13 blocks in their 89-79 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday, but their coach would rather see his defenders keep their man out of the lane. "It's like a chocoholic," he said. "If you keep on going back, eventually you become a glutton for eating too much chocolate. We just don't want to rely on that. We have to continue to be more solid guarding the basketball." With his team starving for victories, Frank can't get too picky. The Pistons snapped a two-game losing streak, as Brandon Knight scored 17 points and Tayshaun Prince and Kyle Singler supplied 15 apiece. Jason Maxiell added 12 points, six rebounds and a team-high five blocks while surpassing 2,000 rebounds for his career as Detroit won its fifth straight at home. Rookie center Andre Drummond, who had three blocks, credit...

Literally sold the shirt (hoodie) off my back for Ron Paul!Submitted by kennethg on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 00:30
I always wear my chocolate brown hoodie to events because I ALWAYS get compliment. Today at a poker tournament a guy literally bought it off my back. He wanted it so bad he would have paid up. I directed him too the website but he didn't want to wait so I sold it to him for the 30 I paid. It was my favorite piece of gear but I'm buying another one right now and the campaign gets another 30, but more importantly we have a new fan. No other campaign gets this type of reaction, I was so proud hearing people at the game joking how I sold the shirt off my back for Ron Paul!

Yeah i was playing texas hold'em in a tournament and I knew almost no one there. By the end of the night people were joking about the fact that I literally took off my Ron Paul sweatshirt and sold it! The funny thing was the guy would have paid me more, but i told him i was so proud I only took the money to give to the campaign.
that's pretty cool
so what sweater we talking about?

Dr. Brian Sims Named 2014 Civitan McNulty Scientist
- Details
- Created on November 13, 2014
Brian Sims, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor in the UAB Department of Pediatrics was named the 2014 McNulty Civitan Scientist in ceremonies on November 6, 2014 at the UAB Civitan International Research Center. Dr. Sims will receive a $50,000 grant to support his research efforts at UAB. Dr. Sims completed his Ph.D. and M.D. degrees in 1999 and 2000 respectively at the University of Alabama Birmingham followed by a clinical research fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine. He received the American Academy of Pediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation Program Young Investigators Award in 2003 and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program Scholarship for 2005-2009. Dr. Sims is a board certified neonatologist affiliated with the University of Alabama Birmingham and Children's Hospital of Alabama. In addition to his ongoing clinical schedule, Dr. Sims has served as an active mentor to a number of undergraduate and graduate students whose projects coincide with his major research interest in understanding the cellular mechanisms involved in premature brain injury. The McNulty Scientist Award is named in honor of the McNulty family of Baltimore, who's efforts played a key role in focusing fund raising and research serving the developmental disabilities community through Civitan International and the Civitan Chesapeake District Foundation.
CIRC Participates in Rare Disease Network Expansion
- Details
- Created on November 13, 2014
UAB is involved with clinical research in two different projects. The first deals with three disorders of the nervous system: Rett syndrome, MECP2 duplication disorder and RTT-related disorders, under the direction of Alan Percy, M.D., CIRC Medical Director. These conditions strike previously healthy-seeming children — usually girls for RTT and boys for MECP2 duplication disorder — early in their lives and can lead to seizures, difficulty with fine motor control and walking, and intellectual disability. This project, which has been funded by NIH since 2003, is preparing to launch clinical trials in the coming months.
In the second project, UAB will be part of a 10-member group of medical centers headed by Boston Children's Hospital in studying three rare genetic syndromes, tuberous sclerosis complex, Phelan-McDermid syndrome and PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, which often cause autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Martina Bebin, M.D., professor of neurology, is the lead investigator at UAB for the $6 million, five-year study. The ultimate goal is to launch clinical trials of new treatments and develop biomarkers that can be used to monitor treatment effectiveness for the three rare syndromes, and possibly for broader groups of ASD/ID patients.
The Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network's efforts take the form of a natural history study with three major goals: identify and understand the core clinical features of each disorder, identify factors that can modify the severity of the disorders, and understand the relationship between patients' symptoms and their brain imaging and electroencephalography alterations.
Emerging Scholars for 2014-15 Announced
- Details
- Created on November 12, 2014
The 2014-2015 Civitan Emerging Scholar Awards and Civitan McNulty Scientist were announced at the Fall Civitan Board reception on November 6, 2014 in the Civitan International Research Center Atrium.
Receiving Emerging Scholar awards were: Andrew Arrant, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Neurology; Vladimir Grubisic, M.D., Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Neurobiology; and Natasha Pacheco, Graduate Student Trainee, Department of Cell, Developmental and Integrative Biology. Haley Johnson, Graduate Student Trainee, Department of Psychology, is the 2014 recipient of the Whit Mallory Research Fellow Award.
Andrew Arrant's research focuses on Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with an age of onset ranging from infancy to early adulthood, resulting in vision loss, seizures, early-onset dementia, and early death. Potential gene therapies to target this disorder are being studied through this project. Andrew is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Erik Roberson.
Vladimir Grubisic is completing a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Vladimir Parpura. He is investigating the role of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often regarded as "the second brain" due to its size, complexity and autonomy, in gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances in mouse models of Rett and Pitt-Hopkins syndromes. GI disturbances are the most common non-neurological symptoms in RTT and PTHS patients. This research could yield new models to study RTT/PTHS-related GI disturbances, and allow the development of new therapeutic vistas to improve the quality of life of patients affected with these disorders.
Natasha Pacheco's primary project in the laboratory focuses on abnormal astrocyte development in Rett syndrome. Working with Dr. Michelle Olsen, Natasha's project will provide insight on the role of astrocytes in normal brain development and may illuminate how the loss of MeCP2 function in astrocytes contributes to abnormal brain development in Rett syndrome.
Haley Johnson's research project title is "Understanding and Preventing Motor Vehicle Crashes around Social and Non-social Hazards Among Adolescent Drivers with Autism Spectrum Disorders." Compared to nearly three-fourths of the general population, only 24% of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) consider themselves independent drivers. The proposed study seeks to better understand the behavioral impairments that may increase rates of unintentional injury in this vulnerable population of drivers; more specifically, to evaluate the perception of social and non-social driving hazards in ASD drivers in a simulated, driving environment. Haley is a graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. Despina Stavrinos.
Each Emerging Scholar and Whit Mallory Research Fellow receives a $25,000 award provided through support from Civitan International. This program provides direct funding to advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in their research efforts to address the causes and treatments of developmental disabilities.
Civitan Emerging Scholar Awards Program
- Details
- Created on August 14, 2014
The Civitan International Research Center is requesting proposals for clinical or basic science research aimed at enhancing our current understanding of typical and atypical brain development, autism spectrum disorders, Down and Rett syndromes, developmental disabilities, impaired cognitive development, and the effects of environmental toxins on the development of the brain. The $25,000 award may be used as a stipend supplement or for direct projects costs.
Proposals should consist of a single PDF document containing a two page description of the planned research; a letter of endorsement from the mentor; and CV from the applicant.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Just after midnight last Friday at Bryant and Ashland in Buffalo, a Rural Metro ambulance was struck by a wrong-way driver.
The driver, 25-year-old Jeremy Parilla fled his vehicle but was taken into custody soon after. He has been charged with driving under the influence.
Three paramedics and a Buffalo firefighter in the ambulance were badly shaken up, but never stopped attending to their very sick passenger. They were transporting an 8-year-old boy who had suffered cardiac arrest. They managed to restore his pulse before attempting to rush him to Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo.
Eric Smith was driving the ambulance and was knocked unconscious. He had become wedged under the dash. When he came to, his first thoughts were not about himself.
He says his first actions were, "Me yelling back to my partners if they were okay. They answered me and I told them to get the child out of the ambulance and take him to the hospital."
Buffalo Police were able to free Smith from the driver's seat.
Paramedics Blaine Bosworth and Bill Walsh had been tending to the child in the back of the ambulance. They both struck objects and were stunned. Despite head injuries, they kept focusing on the boy.
"I knew that I was bleeding," said Walsh. "Didn't know how bad, but I knew we still had a kid in the back of the rig and we needed to get out."
Bosworth added, "My first priority was the kid, so I started opening the back door and started helping get the kid out of the ambulance."
Walsh and Bosworth, with the help of the Buffalo firefighter, got the child out of the ambulance and into a police car that rushed the boy to the hospital. He lived for another half hour before his heart gave out.
"I was still able to talk. I was still able to move. Therefore, I was still able to do my job," said Walsh.
It's a stressful job that can put stress on the families of paramedics, as well.
"My wife knows it, as well as my kids do," said Smith. "Sometimes we have to risk ourselves to help others. We try not to put ourselves in that position, but sometimes you're put in that position where you don't have a choice."
Smith came close to losing his life back in April, when a man was trapped in his burning car on the Kensington Expressway. Smith had reached-in to try and free the man, but the gas line suddenly suddenly ignited.
Smith, along with an NFTA officer and other paramedics, could not save the man and they barely managed to save themselves.

Really great deck by Harry Brignull. Interaction design is a human experience, and it turns out websites can sometimes be rather similar to that shady used car salesman with his arm around your shoulder. Ech.
Science is about the external world: measurement, controlled experiment, data collection, empiricism. It tests hypotheses against the hard reality of repeatable experiments with objectively measurable results. Those who practice it are called scientists or empiricists.
Reason, by contrast, is internally generated. It's building mental models of the world, starting with your internal sense for what is right and pure, from which further truths can be deduced. Those who practice reason are called rationalists.
Adam Wiggins of Heroku breaks down science vs. reason and how it affects business decisions in a startup -- and I was struck by how there are similarly very entrenched camps that are highly product (PG / YC-style / build something people want) oriented vs. highly metrics (Paypal mafia / Andrew Chen / Slide+Zynga) oriented.
When you build a product, you've got to have a worldview on what people want and what is useful and good. That's product sense. But once it is out in the world, you need to iterate and use empiricism to understand how your creation is doing. That's analytics.
As with science and reason, product and metrics are distinct things that happen to be extra valuable when used in conjunction.
As Freud pointed out, people spend a shocking amount of time in a continuous cycle seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. Our internal monologue is but a continuous questioning -- how am I doing, and what should I be doing next? When we meet with friends and family, in between the great stories and moments of laughter and levity-- we ask how they're doing, how that food is, what are you going to order, how was that movie, what's new, and so on.In essence, when we ask each other how things were, we're comparing our experiences. How was that steak? Great? Awesome, I'm going to have that too. The Other Guys was a great movie? Sweet, I have to see it. It sucked? Thanks for letting me avoid that one. (It was awesome by the way)
But that's what Yelp is for. And the web. And Google. The arc of history is that of an ever-increasing amount of empathy -- and the web is merely the latest and greatest enabler in that. The beginning of this arc? Verbal language. Written language. Scrolls. Codexes. The printing press. Paperback books. Paperback computers. And now the infinitely vast and instantaneous Internet.
At first blush, the now-dominant social way we use the Internet seems shallow. Who cares what movie so-and-so watched? Or that they ate at that fancy new restaurant and it sucked. Why should it appear on my Facebook feed at all? But we should care. We do care. It allows us to live better lives. If there is less friction in knowledge, then the good restaurants and the good movies get the attention they deserve. Bad service is penalized. People don't get ripped off so often. Because a durable public channel for feedback exists, restaurants and services can get better.
Less spit in coffee, more awesomeness. We each have a voice in this, and if we pay into the system, we help each other live better... One blog post or Yelp review at a time.
Our challenge is to make as many of those experiences positive. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Now. Because it is easy to envision a distant future that is better. But until that future is realized, thousands or millions of other people will have to endure a bad experience before you can get your act together. They may be tiny grievances accumulated over hours and days, but in the meantime a better future is sitting in a Gantt chart or bug tracker or Excel spreadsheet someplace.
These are only the minor annoyances, though I'm sure there are a few major ones as well. But when you add it all up over time and frequency that is one heck of a lot of human pain. Luckily, it is within our hands as designers and engineers and experience creators to turn that pain into happiness. It is our job. We care and we are working on it. So should you.
Trader Joe's is no ordinary grocery chain. It's an offbeat, fun discovery zone that elevates food shopping from a chore to a cultural experience. It stocks its shelves with a winning combination of low-cost, yuppie-friendly staples (cage-free eggs and organic blue agave sweetener) and exotic, affordable luxuries -- Belgian butter waffle cookies or Thai lime-and-chili cashews -- that you simply can't find anyplace else.
Trader Joe's is an amazing place, and with very little coverage. But Fortune does an admirable job of filling us in.
Did not realize that the store had been sold to a German family that is better known for a large German chain of supermarkets. And that they're expanding like mad. Good on them. They rock.
Profound revelation: All humans are WIRED to experience that which they see happen to others, as if they are having the experience themselves.
Dustin Curtis first told me about this concept on a bus ride from Boston to New York two years ago. I was despondent over how mechanistic and selfish neurobiology seems to paint human beings. Survival of the fittest and all of that. From an economic perspective, we all seek our own rational self-interest above that of others. What prevents us all from becoming infinitely bloodthirsty selfish pirates, anyway?
Dustin replied -- well, there's this thing called mirror neurons. He recently wrote about it in his blogazine. Our brains are wired to experience things that we see happening to others. Ultimately that is what empathy is -- being able to feel what others experience. And it comes built in to every one of us, thankfully.
As Jeremy Rifkin explains in the video above, the arrow of human history is really one about ever-increasing levels of empathy. Before we only had empathy for a our family group, then your tribe, onwards to a whole nation state, and so on. Recent developments in the state-of-the-art in empathy has now extended empathy to all human beings who live, and now even the whole Earth and all its creatures. Through this empathy, we are moving forward human capability, creation, love, and ultimately goodness in the world.
I'm certain we were put on this earth to make other people's experiences and lives better. So by giving into empathy, we can truly feel the same experiences as others and thereby improve them. This affects your life right now, no matter what you do. If you're creating something, anything, you probably want it to be good. You want to solve problems for your customers. You want their experience to be better. That's good for you, but even better for others. And making things better for others is what it's really all about.
This concept of mirror neurons as an underpinning of empathy and society fills me with great hope. We've got a shot, guys!
Point a finger at someone and three point right back to you. It turns out this is not just a childhood adage.
How positively you see others is linked to how happy, kind-hearted and emotionally stable you are, according to new research by a Wake Forest University psychology professor... They discovered particularly strong associations between positively judging others and how enthusiastic, happy, kind-hearted, courteous, emotionally stable and capable the person describes oneself and is described by others.
"Seeing others positively reveals our own positive traits," Wood says.
The study also found that how positively you see other people shows how satisfied you are with your own life, and how much you are liked by others.
In contrast, negative perceptions of others are linked to higher levels of narcissism and antisocial behavior. "A huge suite of negative personality traits are associated with viewing others negatively," Wood says. "The simple tendency to see people negatively indicates a greater likelihood of depression and various personality disorders."
This research suggests that when you ask someone to rate the personality of a particular coworker or acquaintance, you may learn as much about the rater providing the personality description as the person they are describing. The level of negativity the rater uses in describing the other person may indeed indicate that the other person has negative characteristics, but may also be a tip off that the rater is unhappy, disagreeable, neurotic — or has other negative personality traits.
What we choose to say about the people around us reflects heavily on ourselves -- who we are, what we feel, and what our own personality is like.
See the good in others and they shall see the good in you. And wisely choose the company you keep for they will in turn form who you shall become.

[When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.
Kurt had most of this right. But computers can be used to dance too. If anything, that's what the Internet needs.
More dancing, less office supply purchasing.
In my book The Dilbert Future I imagined a world with cameras in every room, and on every street corner, recording all the time, but encrypted so that literally no one could view the video without a court order. You wouldn't need much of a police force in that scenario because every crime would be on video, along with the entire escape route, all the way to the criminal's bedroom. Maybe that's too Big Brother for you, but if you reflect on how much privacy you've already given up to technology, it's not that much of a stretch.
This sounds like an excellent plot for a sci fi film. Without some colossally amazing improvements in camera and encryption technology, there are major risks. Diebold would probably try to make these cameras, and fail miserably, just as they have consistently failed at creating reliable voting machines.
Only the consequences are far more dire than a stolen election here or there. Imagine a vast network of cameras recording forever the actions of every single human. Yet through incompetence, that data falls into the hands of anyone willing to pay.
Organized crime? Obsessed exes? Those are just the misanthropic ones. The long arm of the law would have access too. A world of no forgetting. Such a world would be a realization of Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon, a place of invisible omniscience. Though a very interesting concept, above all one shouldn't forget a panopticon is still a prison.
And turning free society into a prison is something that should give us all pause.
