> As long as vaccine side effects cause less deaths and less harm than the virus, vaccination is still the way to go. That's not how medicine works. What would be your opinion if you were the one that was going to die? Would you sti

We knew this over a year ago, but it's called "acceptable risk" by the CDC. The thing is they never told us that. But it was on that document you signed when you took your jab. You read the fine print right? Moderna had &quot

Ibogaine. A movie screen opens in your mind and every memory since birth is re/played. So they say. Authors may want to look into that one. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine

I’m unique guess in the world. We’re all going to die. If you make it to 57, awesome. After that it’s all a bonus. Take that attitude, and you really don’t put off much. You don’t turn down any invites. And do wake up with the Sun. Life is

Missed the most obvious outcome. We are in a VR simulation. We see more “clues” everyday. Now how to work within the VR world handed to us. That’s the next steps. Soon to become apparent I’m sure.

Steve Jobs may have had an issue with that one. He seemed to do OK. :-) Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when

An amazing story. Had no idea. Worth a read if into “sound” and how the Dead re/invented it.

In the end? In the USA, you get that chance to fail. Actually it’s an honor. Rest of the world? You don’t even get that chance, the chance to fail. So my EU friends tell me now working 100 hour weeks? Just to get that chance, to fail.

You are seen everyday by a team of MDs if in a NYC hospital. I have been in a very similar situation, yes one of those “it’s a miracle you are alive” scenarios. I was run over by a truck. There are morning rounds, EVERY patient is seen. Ev

I have worked with with healthcare professionals for decades, have never once met seen an MD or nurse take pleasure in seeing a patient in pain. I’ve interviewed over 10,000 people to date. We live in two different computer simulations I g

It’s mushroom mania. I’m assuming they are running the show at the moment. Yes, your next boss may be a neural mushroom network.

As someone who has been trading for decades, I’m stunned the SEC has not shut them down. Zero phone support. On a scale from 1-100. Support is a 0 for Robinhood. Ameritrade? I give them a 100+. They are amazing. And TOS trading platform is

I worked at Citi for a very short time way back when. We were doing some things I thought were a bit “sketchy”, and was wondering if we were breaking the law. The response from my boss: we’re only breaking the law if we get caught, so the

Soho is packed with outdoor diners. I went from phone call to CT Scan in 17 mins at NYP hospital. Museums open August 24. Whole Food delivers to my front door. Your local herb friend probably does too. And how many Apple Stores? Got my new

Just an update from an old guy. From my favorite capitalist, an oil futures trader on WS: Between 9:30-4:00 I’d kill my own mother to make a dime a trade. Kill my own fucking mother. Do we seriously think Uber would not slash wages to shit

You will get old. You will die. Just face reality. This trying to always put off aging is hopeless. Utterly futile. Enjoy every day, don't waste a second. You will die. And you ain't ready for it. But Mother nature is.

When the NYTs says, "this is an extraordinary book", generally worth a read if you are in the biz. "Only later does she realize that her empathetic impulses may have led her astray. She was so fixated on trying to discern wha

I ate everything that I saw in Vietnam. Street food, restaurant food, food down dark allies. For months. Only had ONE single issue. For an hour. That's it. There may be something more going on here?

It's fascinating to me, how this demographics on HN is really generally clueless (except with a few exceptions), have NO CLUE to what happened in the 60's clueless. I guess it's just a generational thing. That was probably o

There would be no 60's generation w/o Ram Dass and Tim Leary. We would have continued the 1950's mind set. As they say, "those 2 just closed the door shut on the '50s, and blew our minds with what came next." S

No Apple right? Be Here Now got Steve to India for a year. A year in India is a long time. And back he came, and so came Macintosh. There is a connection. Think different. India can do that to you. Along with blowing your mind.

We had some great pitches. A beautiful deck. Voice, AI, Alexa. Met with a number of VC. Just to hard to deal with, I'm thinking we should have approached China. I left the company, they seemed to have imploded. They finally got a few $
