  • Marijuana is illegal but pharmaceutical companies can sell anti-depressents on TV every night where I once heard, "side effects may include increased thoughts of suicide which may lead to death," now that's perfectly legal. You only make sense if you have money on your side, apparently.

  • @pgunn01 Making dangerous drugs illegal makes them more dangerous and enriches a violent black market. Prohibition has never been successful at preventing drug use from occurring. Look at the research. I'm not talking about making heroin legal in convenience stores. There are 7 different types of legalization. It's complicated. Prohibition has failed and causes more problems on top of the drug problem. Watch the video "Did You Know: War on Drugs Edition"

  • @TheQedqubit okey thanks :)

  • @Happypast using biofeedback people can learn to consciously control their heartrate, bloodpressure, and even brainwaves.(see playlist on my channel) emotiv.com sells the cheapes best consumer device for that.it can be used to train meditative states and put in your own desired selfhypnosis suggestions you may have picked while learning nlp, neurolinguistic programming (check out some Richard Bandler videos)

  • Very interesting.

    So what does Mr Alexander propose we do? Make people less dislocated? how?

  • @TheQedqubit I have no idea what you're talking about but please tell me more :)

  • Are they are in a quonset hut or a silo?

  • weird how they still refuse to recognise biofeedback as a tool to facilitate selfreflection to a subconscious level, then use nlp to rewire yourself consciously.

  • @JobLeonard im spanish i don't undertand the expressions "reinvent the wheel" or "be out of wheels". My point is that is just obvious, I mean whtas new about this. I want to go to the RSA, say these obvious things, and take all the money fom the conference

  • @Paseosinperro People have to reinvent the wheel all the time. While that is sad, be happy that they do, or we would soon be out of wheels.

  • Why hasn't anyone mentioned the biggest addiction of all? Addiction to Power
