Lecture I watched this really cool lecture the other day called, “The Harvard Scam.” This wasn’t actually about how Harvard is running some kind of scam. But it was about how most things are not how they seem. And most things are not wholly organic. Most things are a combination of […]
The Death of Hippocrates
Health Expo I went to this health expo a few weeks ago. It was kind of non-main stream expo, mostly supplements, lots of homeopathic based medicine. They had a lot of booths, mostly books and supplements. They also had a lot of talks, some by doctors, some by dieticians, but they were […]
Eventual Fight Against Evil
Hero’s Journey Origins The hero’s journey is a very common structure that has been found in mythological stories around the world. It’s believed that the hero’s journey structure was a precursor to modern religions. Modern religions can be seen as metaphysical or mythical guidelines or moral codes on how to live an thrive […]
Lion Debt and Extinction Events
Hunting Documentary I saw this interesting documentary about lions and how they hunt. Lions, like all other animals, have instincts that are calibrated for their environment.

Cult of Sacred Geometry

Party Tricks A friend called me the other day. She said she needed some props for a party she was having. I asked her what kind of party she was having. She said it was a birthday party. For her son, who is in second grade. No Props Up Here […]
