In Mind of a Rock the author wanted to stimulate a confusion in the readers that perhaps mind is not limited to the brains of some animals; the stuff of the world is fundamentally mind-stuff. The whole page is full of claims like that but no proof. I don’t know if the public are accommodated with claims without proof, which can allow so many unprovable claims over there including that that life was created by someone. Another interesting point about this article is, the only linked word in the text is Dalai Lama.

In These Scientific Minds Think (and Drink) Alike the Secret Science Clubs was introduced. Scientists including Nobel laureates are invited to the club, to sit on a bar, and give lectures with band show, cocktail drinks, but no PPT.

However we used to have some ‘lectures’ on the streets in China similar to this one (except for the P=F/A part):

The assistant lifted the hammer again and, with a grin, smashed the brick. He stepped back as it crumbled over Mr. Maiullo; some members of the crowd gasped, while others giggled. Mr. Maiullo repeated that “pressure equals force over area” before he stood up, unharmed.

I believe the people in modern time are generally too bored to accept science in a normal way. You have to reshape science like an MTV program to attract the youth.

I was attracted to science by Sci-Fi novels and essays when I’m young. Now the Secret Science Club is doing a similar job.
