Hi, more about me can be found in my wikipedia profile.

stuff I like

 * Incorrect predictions

Richard Dawkins

 * . . a gene might be able to assist replicas of itself that are sitting in other bodies. If so, this would appear as individual altruism but it would be brought about by gene selfishness.
 * Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators. (T shirt insignia)

Feynman

 * Einstein was a genius: Head in the clouds, feet on the ground. But those of us who are not as tall, have to make a choice.
 * Flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence
 * Looking back at the worst times, it always seems that they were times in which there were people who believed with absolute faith and absolute dogmatism in something. And they were so serious in this matter that they insisted that the rest of the world agree with them. And then they would do things that were directly inconsistent with their own beliefs in order to maintain that what they said was true.

Spiritual
Enlightenment is like everyday consciousness but two inches above the ground. -D. T. Suzuki

Abraham

 * Procrastination is not a bad thing!! It is the realization that the Universe has not sufficiently aligned.

Alan Watts

 * If you get into these spaces [non-ordinary states of consciousness] at all, you must forget about them when you come back. You must forget you're omnipotent and omniscient and take the game seriously so you'll engage in sex, have children, and participate in the whole human scenario. When you come back from a deep tank session -- or a coma or psychosis -- there's always this extraterrestrial feeling. You have to read the directions in the glove compartment so you can run the human vehicle once more.    -Altered states of consciousness


 * A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion.
 * Life is a game, the first rule of which is that IT IS NOT A GAME.
 * The most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent, and isolated ego.
 * Psychedelic experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in which drugs are no longer necessary or useful...psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen.


 * The only real crime is that you won't admit that you are God.

Terence McKenna

 * Western civilization is a loaded gun pointed at the head of this planet. -- Terence McKenna
 * Some kind of dialog is now going on between individual human beings and the sum total of human knowledge and...nothing can stop it.


 * I think people have a very narrow conception of what is possible with reality, that we're surrounded by the howling abyss of the unknowable and nobody knows what's out there.


 * We are caged by our cultural programming. Culture is a mass hallucination, and when you step outside the mass hallucination you see it for what it's worth.


 * History is the shock-wave of eschatology

Buddha

 * Time is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
 * Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it

Osho
Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy.

Ron Hubbard

 * You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.
 * Living is a pretty grim joke, but a joke just the same. The entire function of man is to survive. The outermost limit of endeavour is creative work. Anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. So I am engaged in striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at least realize survival in a way to astound the gods. I turned the thing up so it's up to me to survive in a big way . . . Foolishly perhaps, but determined none the less, I have high hopes of smashing my name into history so violently that it will take a legendary form even if all books are destroyed

Money

 * It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. -Henry Ford
 * It is because it's prohibited. See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel. That's literally true. -Milton Friedman


 * This isn't a conspiracy theory type of thing, these people don't have to get together and ... is that they must maximize profits, regardless of the social and environmental cost -John perkins

time travel

 * It is said that what is called "the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return. That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation. -ghost dog

Various

 * We are the genitals of our technology. We exist only to improve next years model.

 * “If we look back at the begining we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned or disfigured them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them; and that custom, respect and tyranny support them. in order to make the blindness of man serve their own interest. If the ignorance of nature gave birth to Gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them."
