More About Me

I'm passionate about

Business, Trading futures, Nature, Animals, Physics, Evolution, Empowerment, Human Psyche,

An idea worth spreading

Centers designed for idea-sharing with the perks of being able to use mescaline, magic mushrooms, or marijuana to open the mind. Different rooms give different vibes; some with walls and ceilings of soft material, some with vibrant colors, some with empty spaces, and some designed to handle random yelling and screaming and breaking of things.

Talk to me about

Drugs, religion, business, adaptation, evolution, technology, LOVE!!!

People don't know that I'm good at

piano, thinking, random hard work.

• A comment on Conversation: What makes an idea spread? Duration? Quality? Loudness?

  Feb 25 2012: I think what makes an idea spread is it's gravity, timing and how relatable it is. E=mc2 spread and stuck because it was true, useful and it affected a lot of people. The Jeremy Lin phenomena spread because he provided a spark for a desperate basketball franchise (timing/gravity) and people could relate to his story.
  
  Rumors have no gravity and "decay in time and space". They are usually unrelatable and have no gravity.
  
  And how are relatable and relatability not words?? Using them anyway...

• A reply on Conversation: Where were you September 11? what was your reaction? and how do you plan on remembering it?

  Sep 5 2011: I agree with that. Im just saying it's a good thing to remember what 9/11 meant for US dominance. It meant we were/are vulnerable. And now with us losing our AAA credit rating and talks of our dollar being replaced as the reserve currency of the world, it's clear US isn't the same country she was in the 1900's
