Just wanted to share this great resource.

You are now able to get free lectures from top universities including UCLA + Yale. All sorts of subjects are discussed.
The only downside here is that you need iTunes installed on your computer. I'll be checking out the free anthropology, psychology, and other resources. There are tons of other free sites as well. Check them out.

This was designed as a desktop background. I'll probably use it once I
get sick of my current one.
Arresting politicians...
Wow, so this article is a nice Monday read.
It suggests that any person in government ("public servant")trying to pass a retro-active law, should be jailed per the US Constitution. They took the oath to uphold this, so should be held accountable. Making large companies immune to laws that they previously broke.
This reminds me of two funny things I've read recently.
Congressmen should have their terms redefined. 1 year of service, 1 year in jail.
Another is something I can't remember, but it was related to the probability towards "kinks".
We should have weekly meditation sessions and monthly breathwork sessions for all of these guys.

Terrence McKenna said once that politicians are largely irrelevant based on how quickly technology is growing. It is running so much faster than they can keep up with.
Timothy Leary once said that modern politics is so slow that it doesn't meet our needs. He posited that the US government should be run from a glass pyramid filled with computers, and that it should be 100% transparent so that we know we are safe from it.
Hopefully some day we can trust government... when? Tomorrow? I hope.

Christopher Hyatt passes away
He was an amazing scholar and if you have any interests in tantra, magick, thelema, or hermetics, he should be checked out.
Alan Miller AKA C.S. Hyatt passed away on February 9, at his home in
Scottsdale, Arizona, with his wife Linda and son Michael in
attendance.
He had been bravely waging a long struggle with cancer, but suffered
several strokes in his last week.
From Wikipedia:
Christopher Hyatt's interest in the occult began in his early
twenties. His desire to further pursue his studies in magick
resulted in meeting Israel Regardie in Studio City in the 1970s.
Regardie introduced Hyatt to Reichian therapy, which he insisted
Hyatt learn prior to any magickal pursuits. Regardie further
instructed Hyatt in the magickal system of the Hermetic Order of the
Golden Dawn. Hyatt has belonged to such occult organizations as the
Ordo Templi Orientis, and once headed the Thelemic Golden Dawn.
Academic Career
Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D., Adv. M.ED. was trained in experimental
and clinical psychology and practiced as a psychotherapist for many
years. Miller used the 18 units earned fom his military GED towards
his first academic career at Los Angeles City College, where he
studied accounting for two years. He later changed his graduate to
General Psychology, earning Masters Degrees in Experimental
Psychology and Medical Education and Counselling. He was a member of
a Freudian clinic in Southern California. He spent almost a year
studying hypnosis at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Los
Angeles. He also studied hypnosis at the University of California,
Irvine. Alan Miller has Ph. D.s in both Clinical Psychology and
Human Behavior, finally earning a Post Doctorate in Criminal
Justice. Some of the techniques he employs include a blend of
Reichian physiotherapy and tantric yoga. He also incorporates
hypnosis along side his body work with patients and students.
According to his website: "He left academia and state sponsored
psychology to become an explorer of the human mind."
Hyatt claims on his website that as a research scientist he has
published "numerous" peer-reviewed articles in professional journals
and was a Research Fellow at the University of Toronto and the
University of Southern California. However, his website does not
provide any references or name any of the journals he claims to have
published in, making verification of his academic credentials
difficult.
