I am a scientist. I am an artist. I am a philosopher. I am a guru. I am a joker. I am a cosmic prankster. I am a cybernetic philosopher. I am a data-flow guru. I am a performance artist. I am a stand-up philosopher. I am a cheerleader for evolution. I am a midwife to the future.

You are a god. You are an infinite being. You are the universe.

If you don't like what's going on, you have a moral obligation to change it.

I think drug use is a civil liberty. It's a personal decision.
