The powerful do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must. I have the gun, I'll take the pesos, that seems fair to me.

I'm not sure how banning VPN's is going to stop the terrorists. Don't they use cellphones to coordinate their strikes? You would have to stop the internet and all forms of communication to slow them down, and then still you wouldn't slow

The super computers are strategically taking out problematic groups of humans, staging machine accidents that the humans cannot recover from manually. I see this as a reoccurring theme in the next 100 years as we get self driving cars, auto

I prefer anonymity. Google knows too much about me already, I'd prefer they stop trying to make every fact about me known by the servers that serve me pages. I don't want every link on the internet an opportunity for the authorities to st

To finally get a good picture of what matter is, we have to put our egos aside and realize that matter is not the primary component of the universe, matter is a waste byproduct of the violent action going on at the subatomic level that is m

Imagine all the people that could have been saved if only the doctors knew what action to take. I imagine people stuck in a coma, listening to everything going on around them saying: "keep doing what you were doing, it is working", and ins

I've been keeping a wikipedia on myself, _everything_ about me and who I am, what I've done and who I want to be in a wiki for the last 4 years. It has been the most illuminating thing I've ever done, and I'm so happy I took the plunge tha

If you make a claim, then answer it, and ask "Why" and keep doing that, then you will eventually get down to the response: "Because I said so" or "because that is how we observe it to be". "The words and values we use to describe nature are

You can use money to compensate a male or female to marry you and live with you for say 10 years. I think this would work in most nations. With enough money, you could purchase nations and then make your own laws to your hearts content. G

What I want is google Street view on every human-walkable area on Earth, including walmart isles, mountain hiking paths, and the white house. Monetize it by allowing companies to put advertisements in strategic places.
