  What's the best way to overcome a fear of flying?

  as someone who travels quite a bit on business, the thing that’s helped me most is repeated flying. The one thing that helped me deal with the fear is to embrace the fact that the situation is completely beyond my control. Odds are you won’t crash, but if you do, there’s nothing you can do about it. Letting go of my need to control the situation really helped me let go of the fear of flying. I don’t know if that will work for you, but it worked for me.

  Can someone tell me of an easy remedy for brainfreeze?

  rub your hard and soft palate (roof of the mouth) with your tongue. The friction causes the brain freeze to dissipate almost immediately.

  if you found out that all animals are self aware, would you quit eating meat?

  how do you do this effectively in a world where the population is growing exponentially? It’s not just a question of change, which I think we both agree is necessary, but a question of possibility and futility. Not “it doesn’t matter, so let’s just eat everything,” but “do we matter? Is the survival of the species the best thing for nature?” because we’re not talking about saving the planet when we talk about saving the planet. We’re talking about saving ourselves. Because we are just some bacteria on the planets skin, and when she gets tired of everything we’ve done to her, she will shake us off as easily as we shake off a cold. That’s why we are experiencing global warming. (my cockamamie theory) the planet is just starting to “run a fever” to try and shake us off. And if my theory is true, then eventually, she’ll send white blood cells after us. And I do not want to see what those muthas are going to look like. In the end, z, I just have to stick by my original argument. How do you know we weren’t put here to eat all the tuna?

  if you found out that all animals are self aware, would you quit eating meat?

  it is always good to hear a hopeful voice. I, too, am hopeful, but I believe that our purpose here is to consume, and when finished, we shall become obsolete. I know it sounds defeatist, but I do not look at it that way. I’d rather see it as living with my eyes open.

  (and by “that way,” I refer to your description of “addict rationalization)
