I think we find slo-mo interesting because it lets us experience the very passage of present time and events slowly, rather than just perceived passage which is after the fact.So we get to see things in a way we haven't before, which would presumably be more memorable and also would slow down perception of time passing....

Indeed, we process relative to context which is usually what you want to do

Was going to post this, the title isn't great

I have an Xubuntu box with older hardware (running a pentium D something or other) which frequently experiences something similar. I have no idea if it is the same issue as either of these and always chalked it up to faulty hardware

Apparently the average is five chunks now

Yep!

Focussing on breathing is one particular instance but not the only thing you can do. Essentially you are practising focus and learning things about your mind you might not have noticed before

Perl6 has it too

Well said :). I like Perl but when I write it I'm aiming above all for readability

Oh God...

With respect, your idealised assessment still has the problem with how that translates to depression, or (after) lack there of.

Definitely agree that our understanding is only really beginning in these kinds of areas though ultimately you are often going to be treating a disorder of subjective experience with these drugs. That makes it very hard for us not to be wishy-washy these days

Very young human children have been shown an innate drive to share the rewards of a task fairly. Chimpanzees have been shown to lack this.

The children didn't share when the other party wasn't involved in completing a task though, so I'm unsure if this applies here.

Misleading because it is about maximising profit. That is what leads to the cinema's attempt to clear the market. If they make no profit on the £4 student they don't care whether he sees his film or not.

Peoples valuation isn't going to be consistent either, nor is it going to exist in a vacuum. For instance, if the £7 students here that their stingy friend gets in for £4 then they may well see things differently.

I would say engineering

I agree so much and I'm going to adopt your terminology :)

I personally don't think it should be sticky whether it can be played or not

Any performance benchmarks?
