This one is for w0r1dpeace. It’s a quote from the Taoist alchemist and herbalist Ko-Hung. Picture was taken by Peg. The two-legged creature is me; the four-legged one is named Champ.
During the time it takes you to read this article, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn’t believe in…
Danger Room carries the story …
Retrograde amnesia was demonstrated for the 80-, 85-, and 100-V foot-shock test trials. At 40 V the voltage may not have been great enough to be felt by the subject. For groups examined at shock levels above 100 V, the foot shock was so potent that a photoflash was ineffective in producing RA. Our conclusion was that the photoflash was an effective amnesiac until the intensity of the foot shock became more potent than the photoflash; this is consistent with the recency theory generated in serial learning and memory tasks.
Thanks, Mac.
There is increasing talk about the disappearance of technical knowledge from the public domain, both because it is a security danger and because it is economically valuable. I argue that this development is not anomalous at all but a great historic trend tied to our transition to the information age. We are in the process of losing a human right that all of us thought we had but actually didn’t - the right to learn things as we can and better ourselves economically from what we learn. Increasingly, figuring out important things (as opposed to unimportant ones) for yourself will become theft and terrorism. Increasingly, reason itself will become a crime.

Burn down Babylon.
Big ups to the Invincible Ben Carruth (http://www.youtube.com/TheCarruths) for helping to write this verse. Sorry for the strange take though i was having a latency issue and was attempting to spit in front of the beat so it would match up but it (obviously) did end up coming out a bit jumbled.
Hope all is well to you all.
Cheers,
Ben

and the place was jam pack
way to back all my people out there
if you with me where you at?
just give me the sign ya’ll i’ll be with you in a flash
infinity mind proving the shine divy the cash
limitless blast in em an I dash in a rhythm
adding to the vision of the patterns that you could listen
my data wisdom that of mathematician thinktanking
out of plink plink planking ink wanking big banking
yin yanking tin ranking I try to cool off but they done made a man king
mortarboard assurance to shiver off the creep
of the sleeping disillusionment that has us in its teeth
we drink the rulers health within the realms wreath
only the bottom of the ocean serve a toast so deep
so don’t sleep we hit ya with dope technique
decapitating the up to the mothafuckin beat
so get back stand down it all pans out
somehow
women hao
do whatchu want now
