  1. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    this can be said for many ancient texts. the problem is that the copy machine was not invented until the mid-1900's, so real people were assigned the task of manually copying down what was written, as well as translating from other languages. so there is this monk named bert, and he loves cats, so he casually slips into a document a cat allegory, about how cats are the highest form of being. next thing you know, 2000 years later, people are worshiping cats, and walking on all fours, wearing cat masks and cat suits, etc.
  2. Also the microwave oven! Wikipedia: In 1945, the heating effect of a high-power microwave beam was independently and accidentally discovered by Percy Spencer, an American self-taught engineer from Howland, Maine. While employed at Raytheon, he noticed that microwaves from an active radar set he was working on started to melt a candy bar he had in his pocket. The first food deliberately cooked by Spencer was popcorn, and the second was an egg, which exploded in the face of one of the experimenters. Apparently there is still an ongoing controversy about what kind of chocolate bar invented the microwave.
  3. Stranger things

    There is an alien in your pot. it is waiting for the right moment to emerge, at which point it will abruptly launch out and attach to your face. I would call Sigourney Weaver ASAP.
  4. Can we talk about AI

    anyone remember that star trek episode where the two sides would simulate fighting on a computer, and then, who ever lost would have to send over a certain number of citizens to be killed, in real life. We need Kirk to save us.

    A well regulated Kitchen, being necessary to the appetite of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Cast Iron Cookware shall not be infringed
  7. Yes, still alive, just not active

    I noticed on your site you have a section titled divine art. Do you have any interest in sharing some images of your work on this site? I liked what you said on your site "From Buddhas to celestial beings or abstractions and personal messages, art communicates things beyond the boundaries of language, often bringing wisdom, healing, and connecting us both to our deepest psyche, offering guidance from beyond." The connection between art and spirituality/enlightenment, as well as self understanding, has also interested me greatly. Good thing is, you can never argue with art, as it is its own expression and experience : )
  8. Turmeric

    Licorice root is good for inflammation too. Also reducing/eliminating dairy.
