RIP, Harlan Ellison, you ur-cyberpunk mother fucker!

He's screaming at all underpaying Disney execucrats, forever, however mouthless, from six feet under.

I've always considering cloning and mind-reading déclassé.

Maybe robots will carry their own customized DNA. If you put a 3D printer on the robot that uses nanotech to pluck necessary materials out of the atmosph--

No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.

You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.

It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.

"Study? That is not the Way, as once he taught it. Yet he does study. He does not meditate, seeking within the object that which leads to release of the subject. No."

"What then does he do?"
