Hyperbole and a Half: Depression Part Two

Heart-breaking.

The piece of corn in my own more mild experience of depression happened to be a viewing of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. It didn’t make me laugh, but instead moved something inside me that revealed my own mild depression to myself; I’d previously not identified my state of “meh” being due to depression as a result of a relationship break-up, six months earlier.

On the experience of feeling nothing…

Any time you identify by what you are not, for myself, when you determine your politics and rights based on what you are not, I think you’re not on the road to empowerment. I think you’re on the road to systematically, mindfully marginalizing yourself.

Acoustic Levitation

At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have been experimenting with sound waves and pharmaceutical solutions, levitating soluble drops between two speakers facing each other. While their research has produced some visually fascinating results, it has also led to the discovery of a far more effective method for creating amorphous drugs, which happen to be the more desirable of two forms that pharmaceutical drugs can take.Watch Video Here.
