“Making your way in the world todayTakes everything you’ve got… Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name…“ Insurrection is the depiction of the January 6th protests. Whether one calls it mutiny, revolution or riot, it is part of America’s history going back to the Founders’ revolt against their King. Funny how these …
The bullshit of red political correctness has too found its way amongst green pastures. So where did this idea of “green” start? “The politics of global warming actually began in Sweden.

“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 …
