		<description><![CDATA[A recent news story reported on the creation of a room that can mute 99.99% of all sound.  It was designed partly to see how humans exposed to the quiet of outer space might react.  Not well, it turns out.  It is reported that the longest anyone has been able to endure being alone in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the field of &#8220;psychosis&#8221; it seems that many things are discovered, then forgotten again, and it is left to future generations to rediscover them. Carl Jung, one of the founding fathers of modern psychology, had a lot of insights about so-called &#8220;schizophrenia&#8221; that our modern mental health system has failed to incorporate. While Jung [...]]]></description>
