I know a Scientologist and a former government employee who started a new techno-religion decades ago. It kind of operates as a conspiracy directed against the US Government. The CIA has declassified documents where they suspect certain pe

Facebook's level of engineering, technology and data seem close to the point of implementing a transformative virtual reality social experience that would be indistinguishable from reality. Imagine if Facebook invented a way to simulat

All cultures are not equal and few cultures are uniformally isolated. Civilization is a byproduct of cultures interacting and blending. And human happiness and quality of life is most supported by improving our diets, our education, our ex

The solution isn't a better direct democracy -- that is the problem. US Senators were elected by the state legislatures for 125 years prior to the 17th Amendment. They were supposed to represent the states and not national special int

It all depends on your intent. And there's an infinite amount of nuance in these situations. Of course, you shouldn't aggressively hit on every person you interact with but chatting strangers up? Absolutely. The beauty of life

The article came off as incredibly sophomoric, like it was written just with a dictionary and a thesaurus. I didn't really understand the point of it, even though it was written by a veritable expert in terrorism. I was hoping for som

If you meditate for emotional stillness and spiritual depth, then there is no reason you can't seek happiness and awareness from a girlfriend or a psychedelic drug experience. Or from both at the same time. You could meditate alone for

I think the problem is most rich people aren't smart. This creates flawed systems, bad business models and poor public infrastructure. I don't know many people in Silicon Valley but I know a lot of rich people. They definitely h

What is real food? I disagree strongly. Eating shouldn't make you tired. I could eat 2 1/3 pound greasy cheeseburgers with toppings but if I skip the buns, I feel like I ate nothing. There is something legitimate to intermittent
