Firing Neurons | Cell Dance 2010, Public Outreach Video Winner | Science News Charles Bukowski, Arthur C. Clarke, Annie Dillard, John Cage, and Others on the Meaning of Life by Maria Popova “We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” The quest to understand the meaning of life has haunted humanity since the dawn of existence. Modern history alone has given us a plethora of attempted answers, including ones from Steve Jobs, Stanley Kubrick, David Foster Wallace, Anais Nin, Ray Bradbury, and Jackson Pollock’s dad. In 1988, the editors of LIFE magazine posed this grand question head-on to 300 “wise men and women,” from celebrated authors, actors, and artists to global spiritual leaders to everyday farmers, barbers, and welfare mothers. Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard: We are here to witness the creation and abet it. Ralph Morse Albert Einstein's study shortly after his death, Princeton, New Jersey Legendary science writer Stephen Jay Gould: The human species has inhabited this planet for only 250,000 years or so-roughly.0015 percent of the history of life, the last inch of the cosmic mile.

Mapping the Human Condition by Maria Popova What the empire of love has to do with the intellect forest and the bay of agoraphobia. We love maps. In 1961, Norton Juster wrote The Phantom Tollbooth, a timeless children’s classic and one of our essential children’s books with philosophy for grown-ups. This map by mid-century American cartoonist Jules Feiffer, who illustrated the book, depicts the marvelous land that Milo finds himself in as he follows his own curiosity. Thanks, @dethe Last week, delicious new work by designer Marian Bantjes (whose latest book, I Wonder, is among the most ambitious and beautiful visual communication volumes ever published) made the rounds — and for good reason: Isle of Knowledge is a beautifully illustrated map of “the ‘known’ beyond which lie monsters,” created for the second installment in Bantjes’ column for UK illustration magazine Varoom on the theme of “Knowledge.” Map of an Englishman Image courtesy of Grayson Perry and The Paragon Press via BBC Donating = Loving Share on Tumblr

Words bring life to life | The Loom Drew Berry is one of the great movie-makers of the molecular world. He makes gorgeous computer visualizations of DNA, proteins, and the various goings-on inside the cell. Last night I spent a little time watching a new TEDx talk of his just posted online. In case you haven’t seen Berry’s work before, I’ve embedded his lecture here. When I first saw Berry’s work a while back, I was immediately gob-smacked. Berry’s TEDx talk is more satisfying because it’s a talk. There’s no question that people like Berry are going to be making the movies that fill our heads in our future when we think about what’s going on in our bodies.

Another outstanding 3D animation from nucleus animation | Science News 7 Must-Read Books on the Art & Science of Happiness by Maria Popova From Plato to Buddha, or what imperfection has to do with the neuroscience of the good life. If you, like me, are fascinated by the human quest to understand the underpinnings of happiness but break out in hives at the mere mention of self-help books, you’re in luck: I’ve sifted through my personal library, a decade’s worth of obsessive reading, to surface seven essential books on the art and science of happiness, rooted in solid science, contemporary philosophy and cross-disciplinary insight. The question of what makes us happy is likely as old as human cognition itself and has occupied the minds of philosophers, prophets and scientists for millennia. Human rationality depends critically on sophisticated emotionality. Haidt takes this ambitious analysis of philosophical thought over the centuries and examines it through the prism of modern psychology research to extract a remarkably compelling blueprint for optimizing the human condition for happiness.

Storia di chi fugge e di chi resta, di Elena Ferrante - La recensione di la Repubblica - ilmiolibro.it Esce il terzo e conclusivo volume della trilogia dell'"Amica geniale". Elena Ferrante, anche per il mistero che la avvolge, sta diventando un mito: i primi due volumi de L'amica geniale hanno conquistato la critica internazionale, dunque l'ultimo e conclusivo volume era molto atteso. E non deluderà i lettori: la passione nel narrare è la stessa e insieme l'impressione di una inarrestabile eruzione dell'anima. Quando si apre il terzo e ultimo volume che racconta la storia di Lila e di Lenù, anzi, come recita il titolo la Storia di chi fugge e di chi resta, siamo nell'anno 2010. Elena Greco vive a Torino e guarda l'acqua passare sotto i ponti del Po: l'ultima volta che ha incontrato Lila a Napoli era il 2005. Ecco, sono passati cinque anni da quell'incontro, Lila è scomparsa e di lei non si sa più nulla. Siamo nel pieno delle lotte studentesche, delle rivendicazioni operaie, delle rivolte femministe: il mondo è in fermento e la violenza dilaga. Ha avuto un senso fuggire?
