Yeah truth in this. Mattereum.com/land is a legally acceptable way of doing fast transfers of real estate. Also works for gold bars etc. Wow it’s hard to get any airtime. You’d think “we’ve built the core tech for a global electronic e

My guru (I'm Indian) was an astrologer. Every time Mars goes retrograde I tell people "astrology is nonsense, but this Mars retrograde thing gets me every time..." and surely enough, every time... I was raised on Karl Popper

America has a vast brain damage problem from explosions in Iraq and American football. If you’re looking for ideas about how to recover from concussion damage they have a state of the art interest in the field. GOOD LUCK!

I looked at your comments. They read broadly as a total failure of imagination: the kind of thinking that would have looked at email and said "this is not better than a fax machine because I can fax 40 million people, but only email 50
