Quote

Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called farm price supports.

Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Using mouse models, Caltech researchers have now determined that strong, stable memories are encoded by "teams" of neurons all firing in synchrony, providing redundancy that enables these memories to persist over time. The research has implications for understanding how memory might be affected after brain damage, such as by strokes or Alzheimer's disease.

Irresistible Availability https://popsensibility.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/is-the-internet-making-us-nerds/

We spend hours fumbling around the Net, diving in hyperlinks, mesmerized by the infinite sub-topics and ramifications of our personal interests displayed in the multiple windows we open simultaneously. Maybe we didn't need so much information on the giant isopod or the personal life of our favorite artist or the different kinds of premium shaving cream but we ended up engulfing it all because of its irresistible availability ...
