Она пришла спасти мир

В кафе новая официантка - красивая высокая девушка лет 20-ти. Юноши-официанты говорят немного громче, шутят больше и двигаются между столиками чуть-чуть быстрее обычного. Посетители сидят в кафе дольше, улыбаются, заказывают лишнее пиво. Реальная красота встречается так редко, что не заметить ее очень трудно.

Интересно, как это: чувствовать себя красивой среди некрасивых или даже обыкновенных?

TIL: Perception Gap

You might think that people who regularly read the news are more informed about their political opponents. In fact, the opposite is the case. We found that the more news people consumed, the larger their Perception Gap.
...
We identified how specific news sources are associated with varying levels of distorted understanding in their audiences. Some news sources are associated with larger Perception Gaps, in particular Breitbart, Drudge Report and popular talk radio programs such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. But large Perception Gaps are also associated with liberal sources such as Huffington Post and the Daily Kos. Only one media source is associated with better understanding other Americans’ views: the traditional television networks of ABC, NBC and CBS.

Kantian meditation

if we take 
          away 
              by degrees 
from our 
      conceptions of 
                    a body 
all that can be 
        referred to
                mere sensuous 
experience — 
            colour, hardness or softness, weight, 
even impenetrability — 

the body will then 
                   vanish; 
but the space 
           which it occupied 
                       still remains, 
and this it is 
            utterly 
                    impossible to 
annihilate 
          in thought.
