Anonymous asked: Hey there. I know you're not a Christian, but don't you ever worry that there might be an afterlife? I'm sorry to say, but since you killed 6999985491 kittens, I doubt you'll get into heaven. Well, not into people heaven. Doggie heaven is still an option. Happy new year! :D

Anonymous asked: If someone were to have split personalities, one side being nice/friendly and the other personality being cruel/murderer. Lets say that your personality is always nice/friendly but you murder people without knowing it, and it is your other split personality. Does God punish you? Do you go to heaven or hell? And why?
tumbletotim asked: dgfour4 Algebra and 1 vs 0 thing: Firstly yes you're right 0 is neutral hence has no "opposite" (there are very few "opposites" in the world). Secondly 0 and 1 really only come into play in Boolean Algebra, which unless you're taking an electronics or low level computer science course is not what you're after. Are you sure it's not probability you're...
stars-i-cant-fathom asked: For the algebra question, I think it depends on whether you define the opposite of nothing as either: Something, in which case it very well could be 1, or Everything, in which case infinite would be the correct answer.
dgfour4 asked: my algebra teachers (whos not a smooth operator of any sort) said that the opposite of 0 is 1(which is why im failing that class) and i was thinkin about it and i came up with this, tell me if you agree. ''0 is a neautral number and there can be no opposite of it, but the only opposite to 0 there is would be infiniti.''do you think my statement is true??
Tim Tumbles Stuff: My Response to Limits of... →
tumbletotim:
I’m not really sure where to begin this, because I’ve never really solidified my view point on this into language. Which conveniently brings me to my first point. While language does provide an excellent way to work with and communicate our understanding it is not by any means necessary to create…
tumbletotim asked: Just in case it doesn't reach you on Twitter I wrote a blog in response to your "Limits of Understanding" post. I can't link it but when you read this it should still be one of the first posts on my blog. Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

viktorandersen asked: I do believe that in some cases, if not most, homosexuality is genetic. Not because I've heard alot of research about it (I normally only draw conclusions based on evidence, so this is of course only a hypothesis.), but because attraction and love, like everything else inside your brain, is "just" chemical reactions. That attraction that exist between heterosexuals is a part of the...
Anonymous asked: You answered someone that homosexuality is genetic. How on earth is that possible? Wouldn't there be a high chance of it in siblings, and how has it passed along all these years, considering homosexuals shouldn't be able to procreate (of course not the case, know tons of conservatives who have 5 kids while in the closet).
invinceabowl asked: Merry Christmas!
Anonymous asked: thank you for having reccomended me "the blueprint", I see myself developing from it
yousonofacunt asked: In all honesty, you should be somewhere in the government. Answering they're questions, not irrelevant ones people can google. You're to smart to be wasting your life on us. But seriously, come to America, and run for president, i'll vote for you. Then you can fix the economy.
yousonofacunt asked: I LOVE YOU DEAN!!!! FIX AMERICAS ECONOMY HAHAHA
Anonymous asked: to what degree do you feel the weight of responsibility on your shoulders having a ton of people asking you questions you aren't even close to qualified to answer properly, and what moral concerns do you consider before answering?
Anonymous asked: There are all these organizations trying to cure cancer, aids, solve world hunger etc., while there are 7billion of us on this planet. Theoretically speaking if there was a cure for death threatening diseases, and going in the direction we are now, wouldnt the world over populate completely? I feel like if all the developing countries were wealthy and materialistic, the environment would solemnly...
Anonymous asked: Do you think some people are homosexual because of the enviroment they grew up in or does it have something to do with genetics? P.S.: Merry Christmas from Zagreb! :)

Anonymous asked: Dean what's your views/points on anonymous (hacking group) and their reason for hacking Sony (apparently to show sony they are ripping off their customers). Do you think they are on our side or just to cause an inconvenience to the world government.
tumbletotim asked: I just found out (I really thought I would have known this already) that the earth is only 12,756km in diameter. I am amazed at how small it is; I actually feel a little claustrophobic. My question is... do I watch too much SciFi?
Anonymous asked: Hey Dean, regarding that new planet discovery called 'super earth' or something, do you think there is any intelligent life there? If so, then do you think they may have technology? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't know much about this yet. In fact I'm going to research about it now haha.
Anonymous asked: Hey Dean, what do you think about the feeling we get of 'being watched' whether we are or aren't, is it paranoia? Or do you think we can subconciously tell if someone is observing us?
Anonymous asked: can you be overly open minded & is that a bad thing?

Anonymous asked: Hey Dean! I've just a documentary about Anders Behring Breivik, do you think people have an mental dissorder to be able to shoot almost 80 people in cold blood? Also, even though he's been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, do you think it's his mental sickness that made him commit the murders, or is it his fanaticism?
Anonymous asked: hey do you think those that say they believe in God...100% believe in God, as in no doubt what so ever? and if you don’t believe 100% does that make you a non believer?
Anonymous asked: do we overestimate our ability to gain knowledge?
Anonymous asked: hey dean..but I feel that I don’t tend to ask for help & I’m not sure if this is down to not trusting people or feeling that they wouldn’t really want to help me. to what extent is it true that I shouldn’t trust people or that they don’t want to help me? I am in a bad place & feel that I many people I come across don’t understand or are selfish &...
Anonymous asked: Hey Dean,I have been thinking about the big bang theory & I don’t understand the logic of how if 1. there was nothing, how could nothing cause a big bang? 2. If accepted, that from nothing we can have a big bang, what are the chances of it forming much of the regularity&complexity we have on earth? The simple reasoning I have or my analogy is, If I had a tin of biscuits,ate them all,...
Anonymous asked: good evening dead. Im just curious whether you are studying something, or what school/education you are/were doing. The attitude you represent in your videos strikes me as very, well, open minded. So I just wondered.
Anonymous asked: do you think you could make a video about intellectual stimulation? as in how to make a conversation intellectual stimulating ex by discussing certain subjects, alone or with a person/group.
Anonymous asked: Buongiorno! Do you have any tips on preparing for an exam? And what's the best way to keep yourself from being distracted all the time? I don't mind working, as long as it's practical. But I do kinda suck at studying. Sitting at a desk all day drives me nuts. Do you have any tips for a guy like me? Thanks!

Anonymous asked: (don't need to answer this) About the "30 day challenge" for self-development i mentioned, I defenetely don't mean pickup, i just made a comparison to those typical challenges, in which you try to achieve a skill or a goal you'd never imagine. My suggestion was to make a self-development challenge (as in losing shyness) and have the subjects report their progress and what...
mrsalamon asked: Hi Dean. I am on my way to study art in order to become an art-teacher for highschools, colleges and such. But since I have been a concert-pianist my whole life I am currently working on "redirecting" my brain. I would need to draw every day in order to get the redirection accomplished. The problem is that I'm working from 9-18 in order to earn money. It is very exhausting and I...
Anonymous asked: Free will vs genetics vs religion vs destiny. Clearly genetics play some role in our actions but can only act as an influencing facrtor. Religion will either implement the idea of free enterprise or pre determination depending on the beliefs. This brings us to destiny. Which can't be proven one way or the other since as we as humans have a limited grasp of time. So. If I didn't say...
