Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:24:49 -0700 Monkeys Fall Into the Uncanny Valley, Just Like Humans | Wired Science http://awmitchell.posterous.com/monkeys-fall-into-the-uncanny-valley-just-lik http://awmitchell.posterous.com/monkeys-fall-into-the-uncanny-valley-just-lik
Monkeys are freaked out by almost-but-not-quite-real depictions of themselves. That tendency is well documented in humans, but has never before been seen in another species.

This interesting item shows a pyscological similarity between macaque monkeys and humans. Yet more evidence that we share evolutionary roots.

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 03:39:00 -0700 If It’s Not Working… Doubt Yourself | Illuminated Mind http://awmitchell.posterous.com/if-its-not-working-doubt-yourself-illuminated http://awmitchell.posterous.com/if-its-not-working-doubt-yourself-illuminated

So what I’d like to invite you to do, is to doubt everything about yourself.

  • Doubt that you’re not worth it.
  • Doubt that you don’t have what it takes.
  • Doubt that what you think about yourself is true.
  • Doubt that you can’t achieve whatever it is you want.
  • Doubt that you can’t move past the stuck place you are.

An interesting viewpoint.
