The Power of Free

The internet has set information free to anyone who desires it. Intellectual property is going to soon become a thing of the past.
I believe the next step for the internet to help create a better global society is for a commerce managing database/search engine to be created where there is no currency and things are traded on the basis of desire. jobs are created on the basis of necessity. Everyones skills and interests are known by this database, and they will be suggested tasks or jobs based on where there is a necessity for their work.
Until we break away from the controlling and negatie power of an arbitrary money system (the people who control money supplies control the world), we will never be free.

How To Die Consciously (Four Things to Consider)

Pluto rules the underworld, the place one goes after death, and in order to pass the border, a price is agreed upon. Something is given to pay for the new wealth, the gain in psychological and spiritual knowledge.

Why do I have to die?
That’s the million-dollar question that many of us will ask at least once during our life. If not when we’re still fit and healthy, then usually as we’re sliding further down the slippery slope towards our apparent annihilation.

We used to know how to die well, consciously preparing for each step along the way. It wasn’t until the late eighteenth century, that the process of dying and death changed from being a part of the life-death continuum, to something abhorrent and fearful.

With the development of modern scientific medicine in the early nineteenth century, death was relegated to the ‘things that shouldn’t happen to us anymore’ pile, along with plague, smallpox and polio.

So how did we manage to die well, before our modern reductionist bio-medical model of disease encouraged us to see our life as a purely physical-molecular phenomenon?

Cows With Names Give More Milk

Drs Catherine Douglas and Peter Rowlinson of Newcastle University, UK, have recently won Harvard’s annual Ig Nobel Prize for showing that cows who have names give more milk than cows that are nameless.

They showed that the way human’s behave with animals influences the quality of the human-animal relationship. Many scientific studies have demonstrated that cattle’s fear-response to humans affects their productivity, behavior, and welfare. In the scientific literature it is believed that fear of humans is the predominant relationship on dairy farms. Read more
