Happy Guys Finish Last: The Impact of Emotion Expressions on Sexual Attraction “This research examined the relative sexual attractiveness of individuals showing emotion expressions of happiness, pride, and shame compared with a neutral control. Across two studies using different images and samples ranging broadly in age (total N 1041), a large gender difference emerged in the sexual attractiveness of happy displays: happiness was the most attractive female emotion expression, and one of the least attractive in males. In contrast, pride showed the reverse pattern; it was the most attractive male expression, and one of the least attractive in women. Shame displays were relatively attractive in both genders, and, among younger adult women viewers, male shame was more attractive than male happiness, and not substantially less than male pride. Effects were largely consistent with evolutionary and socio-cultural-norm accounts. Overall, this research provides the first evidence that distinct emotion expressions have divergent effects on sexual attractiveness, which vary by gender but largely hold across age.” That's from here. All I can say is: (╯_╰”) (emoticon for "I feel ashamed")

Did occur to me after I posted this that from what I've read, the statistics being used in "scientific studies" these days are such that the conclusions of the majority of the studies are not valid. I'll go through some links below about this. Suffice it to say, I don't believe woman are only attracted to men who exhibit pride or shame, and are not attracted to men who are happy. But they had me going, when I first read that study, probably because of a recent fracture in my romantic life that I attributed to my happiness in what my significant other considered to be a position unfair to me (no jokes, now...). For a moment I thought my happiness made me unattractive to her. Naw- musta been my imagination! BKA, I'm holding you personally responsible for the work at your University! Ha ha! ok, here's the stuff: Quick look finds an article which pegs the inaccuracy at 25% after noting an epidemic of "nonreproducibility" in social science studies (here). Next, I look and I find: "In the 1950s, when modern academic research took shape after its successes in the second world war, it was still a rarefied pastime. The entire club of scientists numbered a few hundred thousand. As their ranks have swelled, to 6m-7m active researchers on the latest reckoning, scientists have lost their taste for self-policing and quality control. The obligation to “publish or perish” has come to rule over academic life. Competition for jobs is cut-throat. Full professors in America earned on average $135,000 in 2012—more than judges did. Every year six freshly minted PhDs vie for every academic post. Nowadays verification (the replication of other people’s results) does little to advance a researcher’s career. And without verification, dubious findings live on to mislead." That's from here. Then we have this: In a paper in the July 13, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr John Ioannidis (University of Ioannina School of Medicine, Greece) concludes that "contradicted and potentially exaggerated findings are not uncommon in the most visible and most influential original clinical research." (from here) I'm dead, they just forgot to lock the casket!

"Because of the homogeneity of the spacetime and the mutual twisting of our family of timelike geodesics, it is more or less inevitable that the Gödel spacetime should have closed timelike curves (CTC's). Indeed, there are CTCs through every event in the Gödel spacetime. This causal anomaly seems to have been regarded as the whole point of the model by Gödel himself, who was apparently striving to prove, and arguably succeeded in proving, that Einstein's equations of spacetime are not consistent with what we intuitively understand time to be..." (Wikipedia, Godel_metric) Hawking and Ellis picture of expansion and reconvergence of light emitted by an observer on the axis of symmetry:

"Gödel and Einstein subsequently developed a strong friendship, and were known to take long walks together to and from the Institute for Advanced Study. The nature of their conversations was a mystery to the other Institute members. Economist Oskar Morgenstein recounts that toward the end of his life Einstein confided that his "own work no longer meant much, that he came to the Institute merely...to have the privilege of walking home with Gödel. ...In 1951, Gödel demonstrated the existence of paradoxical solutions to Albert Einstein's field equations in general relativity. He gave this elaboration to Einstein as a present for his 70th birthday. These "rotating universes" would allow time travel and caused Einstein to have doubts about his own theory. His solutions are known as the Gödel metric." (from Wikipedia, "Kurt Godel")

I like Drew. Never met him. He's out there, in my opinion, but he's looking to be a healer in his own right. I can't sit more than 40 or 50 minutes in the lotus, so no idea if the internal sexual dynamics he experiences at 1hr 20min. are common or not. I don't experience the kind of energies he describes. I do think there is something to cranial-sacral theory and that the pineal, sitting on the butterfly bone (sphenoid) is somehow affected by that rhythm, but I'm looking more toward the induction of trance as a normal course of living than toward affecting people at a distance in any manner. I haven't done any research into RLS, as Soaring Crane referred to it. Ok, from Wikipedia: "An urge to move, usually due to uncomfortable sensations that occur primarily in the legs, but occasionally in the arms or elsewhere." The sensations are unusual and unlike other common sensations. Those with WED/RLS have a hard time describing them, using words like: uncomfortable, painful, 'antsy', electrical, creeping, itching, pins and needles, pulling, crawling, and numbness. It is sometimes described similar to a limb 'falling asleep' or an exaggerated sense of positional awareness of the affected area. The sensation and the urge can occur in any body part; the most cited location is legs, followed by arms. Some people have little or no sensation, yet still have a strong urge to move. Don't know if that's what you're experiencing or not. There is also the kind of movement that folks who are blind or deaf-blind exhibit, which is apparently a way of engaging the vestibular sense or the proprioceptive sense. Olaf Blanke has a paper that touches on the relationship of these senses to what we normally consider our sense of self, so they are intimate to our nature, the senses of proprioception and equalibrioception. All of which is to say that I think Drew's heart is in the right place, but a young man's all-out effort to remain celibate maybe has consequences? I like what Shunryu Suzuki said, it's like brushing the teeth; some is a part of healthy living, too much is not. Or what he said when somebody asked him, "what about sex?"; he said, as soon as you say sex, everything is sex.

Great article, thanks soaring crane. I only know the first part of the short Tai Chi form (ala Cheng Man-ch'ing), but the more I make those hand moves the more I'm convinced they had their origin with this brain.
