who cares?

"To approach the most biasless state of death is to pursue a course of
rational self-destruction through a rigorous elimination of biases
towards life." -- Mitchell Heisman, "suicide note" p. 1836

"Who cares? I don't care!
A horse's ass is better than yours!" -- Cibo Matto, "Beef Jerky" on
"Viva! La Woman"

"In many cases, just having a sympathetic 'sounding board' for a student who feels isolated at a distance can help the student to know that they are not alone," Mr. Schroeder says in an e-mail to Wired Campus. "Without that connection, an isolated, distant student may simply drop out." -- Marc Parry, "Preventing Online Dropouts: Does Anything Work?" (http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Preventing-Online-Dropouts-/27108)

"Nock and his colleagues found that participants with strong associations between self and death/suicide were six times more likely to attempt suicide in the next six months as those holding stronger associations between self and life. [...] These findings suggest that a person’s implicit cognition may guide which behavior he or she chooses to cope with extreme distress." -- Steve Bradt, "Inklings of Suicide" (http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/07/inklings-of-suicide/)
