Do we have a choice?
Talking about Inception, recently I has quite a strong idea ruminating in my mind.
In the past, I used to consider determinism as something naive, but these days when I read more on neuroendocrinology, I started to see how our thinking, emotions and judgement are easily explainable by the minute shoot of neurotransmitters/ hormones. If so, every tiny choice we made in life can simply be attributed to a reflex physiological response.
This may sound simple, but if its true and the whole world accept it, think about
Totem
Watched the stunning Inception with Landico the second time. After the mind-drilling Memento, Chris Nolan pushed his art in storytelling to a master level, and again consumed all my brain glucose within this 150 minutes. Absolutely, best movie in 2010 so far.
The second time in theatre doesnt make the film dull, knowing the plot, I enjoyed the movie with much more appreciation to the fine details. This time what catches me is the role of the spinning Totem throughout the story. It

Euthanasia
Watching the recent news, you may notice the previous (and probably, current) euthanasia advocate moving into his new house, finally leaving the bedbound life in hospital.
After the claim for euthanasia, people from everywhere starts eagerly to donate and offer all kinds of financial and technical help, and finally he sees the world again.
Though cruel, i ain't very much excited about it.
I have no personal opinion towards euthanasia. But my point is, among all the bedbound patients here, there are lots who
