Meet me in Cognito, baby. In Cognito, we'll have nothing to hide.

More immediately, by waxing soulful you will have granted yourself the possibility of ecstatic participation in what the ancients considered a divinely animated universe. And on a day to day basis, folks, it doesn't get any better than that.

I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured.

Slavic peoples get their physical characteristics from potatoes, their smoldering inquietude from radishes, their seriousness from beets.
