  • Commented on Sacculina are Pretty Much My Favorite Parasite

  • Commented on Doug Rushkoff on DIY currencies
    # 38 . Nope . The simple question is who is controlling the presidential nuclear football? Clearly not any president. Bush was dumb enough to pop another Neuc. Someone said no. They settled for a Predator drone station that Bush...
  • Commented on Xeni, I Think We're Going to Need a Bigger Unicorn
    #51. I've seen the cousins sleeping over subway grates. The thought occurred to me that I was looking at very intelligent people making the most of a really bad moment in their lives. I used my money to invest in-the...
  • Commented on Doug Rushkoff on DIY currencies
    The post that I just lost would have changed the earth. Good that it was lost. Money is important sort of. Reciprocal maintenance with family and friends does not need money as the core. People are just conditioned to think...
  • Commented on Xeni, I Think We're Going to Need a Bigger Unicorn
    #48 & #2. Yep. as has been amply documented we be the naked ape that figured out how to kill fur bearing animals to keep warm. That was what was wrong with the intro to the movie 2001. The apes...

    That hairless creature has to be one of my sole mates. I am like that a lot. Biological computers in simplest form show up as Prions. A more advanced computer works in single cell beings. Single cell beings of one...

    #22 The on going work of Cultural Anthropologists and related work in various disciplines that try to make some sense out of old bones. Bashed in skulls seem to go back a long way. I contend that the loving Male...
  • Commented on Rotting WWII junk in the jungles of Peleliu
    Takuan. I am mildly more sober. My heart is open to the dead ones. Of all wars. Of all time. Ever. I have a real problem dealing with anything that profits from death. Life support seems to be too simple...
  • Commented on Rotting WWII junk in the jungles of Peleliu
    I know that I am not a nice guy buddy for any one that gets off on killing people. For the simple reason that I am nuclear qualified. I beg you not to idealize heroic battles . Any heroic battle...

    #20 Good....
  • Commented on Ayahuasca experience
    The strange word here is cure. The word cure is ancient and implies relief from pain. The first human that bought into pain relief invented the notion that eating local plants can numb you out while you die. A very...

  • Commented on Ayahuasca experience
    We now have a whole new industry. Just like John of God franchises. Pay money, eat the plant, transcend your miserable body and melt into energy space . Then wonder why you cannot duplicate the peak experience when you are...
  • Commented on Ayahuasca experience
    #6 Not the DEA They are bureaucrats making a profit from enabling suffering. The bad guys here are the Drug companies themselves supporting assassinations of rival plant and animal drug hunters. Without deep personal training and preparation you are a...
  • Commented on Ayahuasca experience

  • Commented on British cops identify 200 schoolchildren as potential terrorists

  • Commented on Bletchley Park rebuilds the bombes -- code crackers that won the war
    #31. Don't bother. Connecting in cyberspace is like a popcorn fart. Moderators occupy a position. The position soon becomes a drag. The nearest stand in becomes your best friend. Authorizing postings to your Dog works . The new game is...
