"Hikaye anlatmak bir büyü işi. Hikayeci her şeyden önce bir sihir yaratmak zorunda... Nabokov bu yüzden Lolita'nın sonsözünde anadilinde ve İngilizce yazış tarzlarını karşılaştırırken sihirbaz benzetmesine başvurur. Orson Welles bu yüzden F for Fake'in girişinde bir sihirbaz olarak görünür. Hikayeci, ister sözcüklerle, ister perdede yanıp sönen görüntülerle hikaye anlatsın bir sihirbazdır. İnsanların gözünü boyayıp kandırmaktan söz etmiyorum. Ama en “gerçekçi” hikayeyi anlatırken bile seyircinizi anbean ikna etmek, kurduğunuz tamamen yapay dünyanın gerçekliğine inandırmak zorundasınız. Hikayenin her öğesi sihri tamamlamalıdır. Sahnedeki sihirbazın ceketi bir beden küçükse, sahne ışıklarının bir tanesi göz kırpıyorsa, arkadaki perdenin bir kenarı sarkıyorsa, sihir tutmaz." #Ümit Ünal - etesien

Bill Frisell is the best jazz guitarist I know, with utter mastery of the instrument, deep knowledge of many musical traditions, crazy creativity, and lots of soul too - more and more as he gets older. Here a classic American folk tune slowly emerges from a complex pointillistic background... - etesien

Being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia in old age. - etesien

The key difference between bilinguals and monolinguals may be more basic: a heightened ability to monitor the environment. “Bilinguals have to switch languages quite often — you may talk to your father in one language and to your mother in another language,” says Albert Costa, a researcher at the University of Pompea Fabra in Spain. “It requires keeping track of changes around you in the same way that we monitor our surroundings when driving.” - etesien

Bilingualism’s effects also extend into the twilight years. In a recent study of 44 elderly Spanish-English bilinguals, scientists led by the neuropsychologist Tamar Gollan of the University of California, San Diego, found that individuals with a higher degree of bilingualism — measured through a comparative evaluation of proficiency in each language — were more resistant than others to the onset of dementia and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease: the higher the degree of bilingualism, the later the age of onset. - etesien

Chimpanzees are interested in social cohesion and have various strategies to guarantee the stability of their group. Anthropologists now reveal that chimpanzees mediate conflicts between other group members, not for their own direct benefit, but rather to preserve the peace within the group. Their impartial intervention in a conflict -- so-called "policing" -- can be regarded as an early evolutionary form of moral behavior. - etesien

When a star explodes, the pressure, temperature, and sheer violence are mind-numbing in their power. The conditions are so extreme that atoms flying outward can be slammed together so hard they fuse to form new, heavier elements. Iron, calcium, even gold are all formed in this process. - etesien

The explosion itself scatters these newly-born elements into the Universe, where they mingle with gas clouds while simultaneously compressing those clouds. This causes those clouds to collapse... and form new stars. From such a process our own star was born, and with it the planets. And those heavy elements - processed over and again countless times through various living beings that evolved on our planet - eventually became a part of you. - etesien

Congratulations! You are literally one with the Universe. - etesien

Movies and television shows are full of scenes where a man tries unsuccessfully to interact with a pretty woman. In many cases, the potential suitor ends up acting foolishly despite his best attempts to impress. It seems like his brain isn’t working quite properly and according to new findings, it may not be. - etesien

Researchers have begun to explore the cognitive impairment that men experience before and after interacting with women. A 2009 study demonstrated that after a short interaction with an attractive woman, men experienced a decline in mental performance. A more recent study suggests that this cognitive impairment takes hold even when men simply anticipate interacting with a woman who they know very little about. - etesien
