You're talking about his quantum tubules theory of consciousness. Honestly, I think it's coming from the same emotional agenda that made Geocentrism and later Vitalism so popular. It's just the latest philosophical secret sauce. Besides, th

It turns out LN2 is cheap and easy to get, but a Dewar flask costs around $400. I haven't been able to find a place to rent one.

The quality of service issue had nothing to do with Justin.tv. The problem with streaming big events is that the connection is always saturated. In this case, the auditorium tech who was supposed to give us an independent line accidentally

Intelligence has a lot of dimensions. It's not unreasonable to say focus is one of them.
