“If there were machines which bore a resemblance to our body and imitated our actions…we should always have two very certain tests by which to recognise…they were not real men.” – Descartes In any case, we need to ask ourselves: Who is really the monster? The creature or its creator? Cryonics “captivates the hearts and …
Steve Jobs, the man behind the “iPhone,” is himself a product of a time and an idea of having the “Whole Wide World in your Hands.” A beautiful illusion of how with a “smartphone” you can “hold your life in your hand” – texting and sharing it all. When in reality, it is the toymaker …
“It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.” –Voltaire Facebook’s Founder stated “We are not a media company, we’re a tech company.” Zuckerberg’s remark is like a porn director saying, “We’re not a porn company, we’re a film company.” Each runs a business using technology – computer and camera. One sells sex …
“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.

Because “issues of infiltration and security laxness all had their genesis under Roosevelt and Truman.” Attempts to “combat communism” and use …
“Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today…” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo reportedly said that for him to resign lightning would have to strike him down. Looks like the “almighty” heard. California Governor Gavin Newsom faces a recall election. Criticism points to disastrous mishandling of the pandemic, homelessness, fires, drought, etc. Will it take …
What are we? Since that’s your question, I’m going to answer you. We’re this country, and it wouldn’t be a thing without us, nothing at all. Who does the planting? Who does the watering? Who does the harvesting? Coffee, cotton, rice, sugar cane, caco, corn, bananas, vegetables, and all the fruits, who’s going to grow …
