It would be weird if there was no intelligence to e.g. how the chemical hijack of love relates to evolution. With how strong it is, and how unforgiving natural selection is, there must be a long-range correlation outside immediate percept

There is an impedance mismatch between the Indian yogic tradition and the West's ability to assimilate it. Theirs is a world onto itself and for us to get something out of it takes willpower. How this might ultimately manifest itself i

Oh, this is far, far worse. It shows the CIA is just as rogue as the Kremlin, and given their history it is fairly clear now that within these two groups there is extreme collusion. The Western intelligence apparatus has been hijacked by a
