We dont like what we dont understand. In fact, it scares us. And because of that we dismiss it as rubbish or even worse a lie. These facts, I hope, will take some of that fear away. 1.

Here they are: abstemious, facetious, arsenious, abstentious, anemious, caesious, and annelidous. 7. There is a widely respected scientific theory that states we dont actually have free will, and that we behave, think and speak based on the causality effect. Put simply, it means that we are nothing more than a species that thinks it can be its own destiny but is nothing more than a brain in a super computer. Because of this the theory is called the Matrix hypotheses. 8. We only actually remember about 6% of lives. The other 94% is completely false accounts based on the brains capacity to embellish, change and create new memories. Even these are subject to emotionally states. People with eidetic memories remember about 10% with complete accuracy. 9. On average, vegetarians tend to live longer and remain thinner than meat-eaters. 10.
