Big Think looks like a more dignified Yahoo Answers! I'm so accustomed to the ultra-quick super-edited monologues on YouTube that I can almost feel my brain slowing down as it processes these video clips. It feels like I'm finally chewing my food adequately.
I hope you feel lots better by the time we have class!
