    I love how this guy thinks the published novels he reads aren't also full of bullshit, clichés, every manner of conceivable plot convenience, and, ultimately, just as much "garbage" as the novels around here. :blobsmirk:

    Reported for hate speech .
    Dude stop hating on novels.
    We love reading these "garbage" and i don't mind spending my brain cells to enjoy them.
    And you have no right to denounce them like that.

    Somehow this video reminds me of the scientific research for food.
    After hundreds of millions of dollars spent on research, the results is what common sense already dictates.
    Eating most anything if fine as long as in moderation. Try to aim for natural, like butter better than margarine.
    Reading is good for the brain. Lack of sleep, stress, and too much sugar is bad.

    Holy crap I laugh out loud (almost) in the mirror I see a face with bangs going to the elbows covering the left half of the face (I'm half blind in the left eye btw and a little in the right eye too which is why I'm covering my left half of my face) with straight hair going wavy starting below the chin dark brown eyes .

    It says sleep improves memory, right? So how come Ai-chan doesn't become a super genius since Ai-chan sleeps 16 hours a day?

    Well just like anything, you should be careful to believe anything you read or watch on the internet. Do you see how the guy compares the brain activity which happens when you are painting with when you study art history and then make a conclusion that painting helps the brain slow down aging, well thats a comparative figure, we still dont know by how much.

    Generally, it was a nice video and a good share.

    A novel is not really garbage if when reading/translating it, it made me spend long hours reading about:
    Kaballah and Jewish concept of Olam HaTohu and Olam HaTikun
    Japanese Children Show
    How to calculate center of gravity in a bridge
    The feasibility of Laser as Spaceship weapon
    Hawai mythology and deities...

    I love trivia.

    Fiction it might be, but you come across alot of things you might never have thought of on your own, because you didn't know they existed.
