In what sense is your mind free in a world where psyotropics are prohibited? LSD and psilocybin aren't addictive or habbit-building, think about that. Don't knock it 'till you try it.

Sure, new technology does create new issues, and can make others worse, that doesn't mean, however, that technology doesn't also increase our ability to continue improving and doesn't make the world a better place.

This technology, like all technology, increases humanity's collective capacity to create solutions to problems and implement them. Faster travel means more time to solve problems. LESS planes and LESS speed make the world a worse place

I have a 3 year old pug. He'll run through the house searching for the right family member if you count down from 10 and say "Go find X! Where is he?!"

Why bother doing anything difficult or burdensome if one has the option to take the easy route? This man sounds like he has a real passion for what he does. He's been doing it for quite a long time, and like you pointed out, he could&#

That's a good point. Systems like this fixed onto the actual sources of these emissions would be far more effective at capturing carbon, and most likely produce far more fuel, for the same- if not, a not much worse price.

I wonder how effective this system is at producing e-kerosene, as well as how cost-effective producing fuel this way is. It's certainly a step in the right direction to offsetting carbon emissions. I also wonder how much excess carbon

I've found that small amounts of psilocybin mushrooms appear to calm me and allow me to "get in the zone" a lot better, as well as radically increase my creativity. I also found that low-dose MDMA, taken after eating, dramati

What happens to us is out of our control, what we have is out of our control, it's pointless for one to concern himself with what he doesn't have. It's self-evident that the most one person can do is all that person can do, a

What desire does a platform like Twitter have for spam? We have laws that prevent people from uttering threats. Twitter has rules against spam. It's their platform and they want their users to be free in their discourse, they just don&

The internet is not the only place to buy things. It's also not strictly necessary to buy a computer solely to access the internet. For instance, you could ask your neighbour if you could use theirs for an hour or two or go use one at

On first glance, I see the word "unbiased" immediately followed by "based on European values". Now, I'm no expert, but to me, that seems pretty biased.

This is really cool. I'd love to see more devices like this. As I don't exactly have the resources to build one on my own, I'd also be interested in the opportunity to buy one.

Totally agree with you in every way except your last point. IIRC, the administrators of a Google Workspace domain have almost complete control of the accounts created under it. For example, they're able to make sure that each account c
