See, nobody really wants to pay taxes, neither the rich nor the poor. Which makes them equal at least in this regard. Frankly, I don't even know what my gross earnings would be, simply because the number is irrelevant and only makes a

I am in my mid-40s, don't do regular exercise, and still dont feel like "shit". Really, this "motivation trainer" rhetoric coming out of obesity-infested America is tiring. You sound like there is only two extremes:

Ahh, there you go, environmental activists outright saying having children is considered a crime against nature. Wonderful, you seem to hit a rather bad stereotype right on the head. What is next? Earth would be better of if humanity was

Joscha Bach summed this up in a very succint way in an interview once. Paraphrasing him, psychedelics tend to result in overfitting. Suddenly, everything is about them. Leary and McKenna are actually good publicly known examples. And th
