Don't Unlock Your Brain

“Welcome To The Future” announces the STACKED web site and then it goes on to say...

The secret? A brain pill. We’re not saying you can be rich like these billionaires. Being an entrepreneur is one of the most physically, mentally, and emotionally draining endeavors one can take on, and only the most determined succeed. Even if you aren’t an entrepreneur yourself, it is worth considering those reasons that entrepreneurs choose to use smart pills:

brainpower

“feel good”

“not yourself”

get a task done

stress can be a good thing

amphetamine drugs have a number of...

increase blood flow

significantly less than a daily coffee habit

highly tested, high-quality products

Best of all, it works! - customer testimonials are listed. "new doors opened", "read Tao Te Ching and Sun Tzu's Art of War with no problem", "helping my husbands concentration", "I've tried everything on the market" - The wonders of the smart pill are manifold.

The snake oil salesman will never be put out of business and science will always be used to sell dreams of a way out - a way to free your mind from it's prison and cut it's cords to your heart. But for human beings the heart rules and the mind, prisoner that it is, must watch, console, argue and yell with its face pressed upon the bars - helpless and frustrated. There is no unlocking the brain and it wouldn't know where to go if the door were opened - it will always follow the heart and resent it.

0 The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Blue Devils and Yellow Cowards

A few weeks ago Duke lost Coach K’s last game at Camron Indoor Stadium to the schools hated rival, North Carolina University, in an epic grudge match. It was an “ unacceptable ” finale for the maniacal ferret-faced competitor who created the 40 year dynastic Duke hoops program with 1,000+ wins and fists full of ACC and NCAA championships but for Tar Heels everywhere it was a day of retribution. Michael William Krzyzewski, is a red-blooded All-American college basketball coach of Polish and Ukrainian descent who grew up in Chicago’s famous Ukrainian Village which is (or at least was) culturally very reminiscent of the Rus borderlands. That is to say that young S h-shef-ski grew up as far away (psychology) from Dixie as is possible while still living within the borders of the USA. That makes him the perfect choice to represent Duke University and the Yankee overachievers who emigrate to Durham for 4 years of education and networking before moving back to...
