The
bottom line is Jobs, Mikkelsen, Martin, Storm, Ortiz, Young, Altucher,
Grant, Devine, and oh yes…Pippi Longstocking along with many others who I
don’t have the column space to write about are all on to something.
They recognize that the future is being able to broaden and apply your
knowledge in an array of ways and then mix and match those ways to
create new ways. Genetics, futuristic thinking, and mixing ideas are all
connected.

recommend always reading books for that very reason. They are
instruction manuals for furthering humanity. By recognizing this concept
of Neo-Generalism we are expanding our soul, allowing our creativity
and inner-self to flourish, and furthering humanity’s future. But above
all else, and perhaps most importantly, Neo-Generalism is bringing us
all closer together.
When the wind, behind our eyes swell Starring down all, who generalize well A chemical change of the spirit Will be the exchange for our visit
Putting more makeup on the masks that we wear Turning our nightlights on in the daytime to scare
If we say that (we want it) We only want it with the lights out If it’s a game, well (we want it) We only want it with the lights out
If we enter, through the front door With the keys we stole the night before Now we have right to be the masters Of the tangles of disaster
Ladies and gentlemen it’s time to unveil If this is the moment now to ask do we dare?
If we say that (we want it) We only want it with the lights out If it’s a game, well (we want it) We only want it with the lights out If we survive this (we want it) We only want it with the lights out So delegate it! (we want it) We only want it with the lights out

During the past few decades, a disturbing trend has emerged in many scientific fields. The number of researchers required to generate new discoveries has steadily risen …
This doesn’t mean
the research is no longer worth doing. But it does suggest that
specific scientific and technical fields yield diminishing marginal
returns. In the 1800s, a Catholic monk named Gregor Mendel was able to discover some of the most fundamental concepts of genetic inheritance by growing pea plants. In the 1960s, a handful of scientists at university labs discerned the basic structure of DNA. A few decades later, a large team of scientists sequenced the entire human genome for a little less than $3 billion. Now biotech venture capital spends more than that in a single year — one can receive hundreds of millions of dollars to discover narrow applications of the grand ideas that began in Mendel’s modest garden.
Science thus needs less iteration and more reallocation. Researchers
should be prompted to get exposure to a wider array of mentors. They
also should be given more leeway to focus on their own ideas. Some
sciences might even take inspiration from the field of economics, where —
for better or worse — methodological novelty tends to be rewarded above
all else.

These are amazing benefits for many people the old economy could not
help. But the initial excitement for these companies has bent toward
viewing them as exploiters. They provide little to no retirement
benefits and it’s very hard to earn enough money working full-time to
live well, let alone raise a family. There have followed increasing
calls for legislation. Hillary Clinton in 2016 said as president she
would force gig companies to reclassify contractors as full-time
employees and provide them more benefits.
The tradeoff for this would be to destroy the opportunity to obtain a
middle-class lifestyle that our public policy purports to support.
Without the gig economy, millions of people would simply have to stop
working entirely or resort to less-optimal solutions, like finding less
flexible work, dropping out of school, or depending on government
benefits.
Also under attack are low-skilled jobs in retail and fast food, such
as Walmart or McDonald’s. The “Fight for $15” movement is a reaction to
the idea that companies like these are underpaying and exploiting their
workers. Enacting this policy in many places would force companies to
replace employees with robots and increase prices on their products.
Some McDonald’s locations in San Francisco, which already has a $15
minimum wage, already use touchscreen computers instead of human workers
to take orders.
…The idea that “one job should be enough” for a comfortable
middle-class life certainly sounds fair. But it came about in the 1950s
and ’60s, when the United States was the world’s sole economic
superpower and most households lived on one income alone. During that
time, the cost of education and health care was much lower than today.
Trying to force every new innovation in employment into this cultural
framework will inevitably create barriers for those who are most
vulnerable in society, and raise prices for them in other areas of the
economy. It’s not just the rich who will have to pay more for food,
transportation, lodging, and skilled help.
To
be less diplomatic about it, professionals who rely on the domain of
the so-called social and political “sciences” for their base of action
are de facto pseudoscientific speculators, often at public expense. But
the speculations of vulgarized science distill to bull, regardless of
how “scientific” the language, tight the system, convincing the
supporting data, or smart the arguments.
Pseudoscientists
pretend to explain human activity as though it were a lab exercise,
presumably to arrive at guidelines for what is judged best (by them) for
the conduct of society. Their output has been called “evidence-based
policy-making.” Evidence? Check a slogan that has been used to “justify” this approach:
“Science is the pursuit of knowledge, knowledge is power, and power is politics.”
Notice
the circle of reductions, linking output with input, a trick of leftist
“liberalism” to hoodwink everyone (including the “liberals”
themselves). And notice the implication that science is the only way of
knowing what is best for people. So much for the value of such
“evidence.”
How I love the internet! Even without tapping torrents millions of books are drifting around- for free! Use these steps to tap the well of information.
1. Know What’s Out There: Never pay for a book published before 1923. Copyright laws start there- anything before is completely free, and legal, for download. Amazon and Google are great for free classics- but don’t write off the lesser known sources: gutenberg, freebookspot, Free-Ebooks and Manybooks are worth clicking around- especially for modern literature.
2. Find A Cloud Reader: Cloud readers allow easy browser reading- no download needed. Choose between the Kindle Reader or Google Play Books. Play Books is more like reading a paper-novel; amazon is better for syncing. Both are free, accesible and cleanly designed.
3. Fall In Love With ‘A Read It Later App’: There are millians of free articles and short storys online; time, however, is limited. Apps, like Readability, save articles for a later, more conveniently timed, read. Readability even sends articles straight to your kindle! Also check out Pocket and Instapaper.
4. Don’t Say Goodbye To Your Local Library: I will always prefer paper to wires; but for those who think libraries are archaic check out this website. Better yet, check out a book- virtually!!
They’re unable to understand what it means to govern ourselves, and
they’re unable to understand the meaning of true freedom — that one must
be free from government restraints in order to find his purpose and
live freely. With the loss of this knowledge, and a culture that leads
them astray from that birthright, they predictably become less able to
think their own thoughts. Those who have completely lost their compass
are more inclined to lose their minds in blind rage. And that is, sadly,
where too many Americans are.
Natural law and our natural rights are written on our hearts. They
are instinctive, and can be handed down by older generations through a
healthy culture and exemplary role models. Still, if we are too far
separated from understanding them, if they are flouted in our
institutions, we are set adrift. We can recover our rights. But we must
recognize and accept this uphill challenge.
No matter the results of an election, our first order of business
should be to struggle with all our might to do whatever is necessary to
recover our compass and restore in every American heart the true meaning
of freedom.
Thích Quảng Đức, was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. Quang Duc was protesting the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government led by Ngô Đình Diệm. Photographs of his self-immolation were circulated widely across the world and brought attention to the policies of the Diệm government. John F. Kennedy said in reference to a photograph of Duc on fire, “No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one.”
Quang Duc’s body was re-cremated during the funeral, but Duc heart remained intact and did not burn. It was considered to be holy and placed in a glass chalice at Xa Loi Pagoda. The intact heart relic is regarded as a symbol of compassion.

Mistakenly assumed this was an anti-violence, anti-war protest for years. Rage against the machine use may have been partly to blame
