I can’t see the link, have I been deprogrammed?!
I love the TED videos. I need to find a way to attend that conference.
TED talks rule the school.
Yeah TED talks are great but it costs thousands to attend its crazy!!
there website has hundreds of videos check them out even keith barry has one on there and lennart green
parents .. perhaps you’ve heard of that cult? And … erm .. schools … friends …. Who didn’t for godsake!
But hey … I blocked them so well … just studied them … and sticked to my own mind .. and started learning about the world .. Let’s me tell you this .. it’s not eden we’re living in. (Do I hear THANK GOD! ?)
It’s actually like this … you have software disks …they are already in there in your mind … you just need to find out how to use them .. and then you can zap through all programs .. whatever you feel like reading in your mind … It can boost yourself .. it can bring you down .. it can surprise you .. it can anger you … etc etc … So . conclusion .. the evolotion theory was correct … it was, socialization, all about copulation .. Meaning, who needs a friend if you have a whole bunch in your mind already?! Those who want to have sex.
What if we could socialize with eachother”s friends up there .. so our friends in our attick with other’s friends up there …
We already do ..
Aint that fascinating ..
