World’s Smartest Man Knows What Happens After Death: The Daily Mail says the world’s smartest man is confident that he knows what happens after death. Horse rancher Chris Langan, who has a genius-level IQ between 190 and 210, says the human soul moves to another dimension or plane of existence after we die. “Death is the termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time. When you are retracted from this reality, you go back up toward the origin of reality. You can be provided with a substitute body, another kind of terminal body that allows you to keep on existing. Your memories can always be pulled back out, but there’s no reason to do that usually. Why cling to memories of a world in which you are no longer instantiated? So, there are certain automatic psychological things that happen on death, at the moment of death.”

Psychologists Analyze Why People Decorate Early For Christmas: The Daily Mail says psychologists have studied why some people decorate early for Christmas. Early decorators may be seeking attention or trying to fill a void. Others early decorators want to relive happy memories or create a picture-perfect family environment. Florida psychotherapist Amy Morin says, “For many people, Christmas was a magical time during childhood that is filled with happy memories. So it makes sense people often want to decorate early because the sooner they get out those decorations, the sooner they can experience a little bit of that magic again. The earlier they decorate, the longer the season lasts and they have more time to reflect on happy memories and positive things about the world.’
