   Or it was a shocking amount of money that made a lot of people rich. Its one thing for the few top guys to make money. If EMC minted lots of millionaires, thats another.

   Since moving to silicon valley I've had the good fortune to know a group of highly motivated, talented entrepreneurs. They are some of the leaders in their industry, the spearhead of an important movement. When I first met them, none of th

   Now I'd like to see you join in data about the locations you spent time in to characterize your personal geography. Have you done this?

    Taking acid once a week will do bad things to you. Worse than morphine.

    How long until you get where you're going: making seed funding a credit card application? A web form with supporting documents, a video, scan social networks, cut a check. Or better yet, a check card. Announcing the Y Combinator Amex...

    I've done this before, to weight some properties higher than others. I searched for the exponent, via simulation and cross validation. It works.

    Morphine cured alcohlism in 1817. Cocaine cured morphine addiction in 1884. LSD cured alcoholism in 1960. Detect the pattern.

    LSD is amazing stuff in that it makes bullshit real, thus expanding the mind's ability to waste time.

    Temporary insanity is viewed as dangerous. LSD is a particularly harsh substance, so on the scale of psychedelics... I would legalize it right before PCP.

    I haven't read the study, but given the attitudes towards alcoholism and addiction at the time, the tests wouldn't have followed up to see if the alcoholics were binging on psychedelics... which plenty of people did in that era.

    Seriously? People take too much acid, get real into drug culture and end up living in a bus down by the river. Over time psychedelics can erode the mind.

    I wonder how many of those alcoholics moved on to psychedelics after treatment :) You guys are downvoting me, but at the time addiction and alcoholism were considered separate phenomenon. Psychedelics being new, nobody predicted the 1970s

    I rely on the 'always on' internet connection that 3G provides me. When I need to look something up, I don't even think about wifi. I just look it up. There is value in that.
