The p's and q's in the title refers to the fact that our minds are constantly processing information in either of two ways, the first of which is through our senses (sight and touch) and the second of which is through our minds (mental processing). This is why we have our perceptions, or our “perception” of how things are, to start with. The difference between the two is that while our ...

A word we’ve been using for a long time now. If you say your prayers, you can say them to any deity you choose. If you say your prayers at all, you should still say them. We all have our own list of "secrets" to God. The list could be endless, and your list of secret prayers certainly isn't. But the truth is, you can pray, and you can pray to ...

When it comes to the ability to do something intuitively, we are all basically born with the skill. Our brains just have not made the connection yet. It ...

This is actually a topic that is so interesting that I’m going to do my best to write about it. When we were designing the game we got to thinking about the importance of the “language barrier” for international communications. You can definitely use the language barrier for things like what you're trying to communicate. In my opinion, it's the most powerful thing that can create a lot of communication.

A lid then covers the top, which is then placed on top of a large bowl of water. The water is heated to boiling, and the lid is placed on top, preventing the steam from escaping.
