The 6 Weirdest Cities People Actually Live In
Look, we're idiots: None of us knows what, exactly, goes into city planning, but we assume it's probably a lot of distinguished gentlemen emailing each other about math, statistics and blueprints. But somewhere along the line, somebody accidentally CC'ed the insane asylum, and we wound up with the following civilizations that simply should not be: #6. Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.com Back in 1945, the USSR discovered oil just off the coast of Azerbaijan. Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.com"If you find yourself plummeting into the sea, you've gone too far." Five thousand people live and work on Neft Dashlari, right there in the face of logic and Poseidon alike. Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.comThey went a little crazy on the swimming pool, though. But if there's one thing the Soviets weren't exactly known for, it was the reliability of their engineering; they always did prefer to glue things together with a combination of balls and aggressive optimism. Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.comOur guess? #5. #4. For money!

The seven most disturbing psychology experiments - Weird.Answers.com
In the annals of unnerving social science work, one name stands out in the pantheon of researchers, an unassuming Harvard professor who put together the experiment that bears his name. In the early 1960s, Stanley Milgram found himself curious about the nature of obedience to authority, specifically the propensity of ordinary people to comply with orders to commit evil acts as happened in Nazi Germany. To test his ideas, Milgram devised an experiment in which subjects were situated in front of a board of switches and instructed to ask questions of a fellow volunteer who was restrained to a chair in the other room.

As the shocks grew in intensity, the subject in the other room screamed in pain, begged to be let free, and finally fell into a chilling silence - apparently either unconscious or dead from the torture.

Civilisation faces 'perfect storm of ecological and social problems' | Environment
Celebrated scientists and development thinkers today warn that civilisation is faced with a perfect storm of ecological and social problems driven by overpopulation, overconsumption and environmentally malign technologies.

Either we will change our ways and build an entirely new kind of global society, or they will be changed for us". Apart from dire warnings about biodiversity loss and climate change, the group challenges governments to think differently about economic "progress". "The perpetual growth myth ... promotes the impossible idea that indiscriminate economic growth is the cure for all the world's problems, while it is actually the disease that is at the root cause of our unsustainable global practices", they say. The paper urges governments to:
