Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) has been described as the “Leonardo da Vinci of modernity” and the “first poet of technology.” His kind of vision is rare these days, because he genuinely believed in the future. He revolutionized the world of design by advocating resource efficiency, sustainability, universal housing and cost reduction. He published 30 books, holds 28 patents, was awarded 47 honorary doctorates, and coined popular terms like “synergetics.” For Fuller, society had the opportunity to establish a sustainable way of life by applying his principle of ephemeralization; to do more with less. He believed that technology could make the world work for everyone, lifting entire nations out of poverty, writes Alec Nevala-Lee, author of a new biography of his life, Inventor of the Future ( HarperCollins). But as Fuller put it, humanity has turned against itself by thinking that it is against technology.

If Trump is elected President again he will create his largest bankruptcy, the USA. He will increase the Debt so much that the Dollar will no longer be the World Currency.
China has long been pushing to have its currency replace the dollar, but it's getting momentum now for a couple of possible reasons:
First: the debt ceiling. Being the currency everyone counts on to do business means people have to believe that your currency is reliable. That recent debt ceiling drama made the U.S. (and, by extension, the dollar) look potentially risky and unstable.

Henry Ford said “No, I’m not attacking Jews, I’m attacking bad Jews". It is time to stop identifying the religion of bad and good people.
Religion is a made up fantasy that helped make life livable until now.

Boy the way Glen Miller played,
Songs that made the hit parade,
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days,
And you know where you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again,
Didn't need no welfare states
Everybody pulled his weight,
Gee our old LaSalle ran great,
Those were the days!

Trump's and Hitler's statements are not quite the same, and there is obvious, significant context that separates these sets of quotes.
However, it is true that phrases and statements used by Trump, like "vermin," "poisoning the blood," and "threat from within," bear a remarkable similarity to some quotations and writings attributed to Hitler.

Actually, this study says the opposite.
We found that past suicide attempts were more common among depressed patients with a religious affiliation (OR 2.25, p=.007). Suicide ideation was greater among depressed patients who considered religion more important (Coeff. 1.18, p=.026), and those who attended services more frequently (Coeff. 1.99, p=.001).

In the United States and other high-income countries, hunger is mainly caused by poverty that results from a lack of jobs or jobs that pay too little. Hunger rates rise when the national or local economy is in a slump.

I saw this post on a Christian site.
I have seen so many posts about porn addiction and masturbation in this sub I thought it was time someone stated the obvious to remove the shame and fear that radiates from these posts.
God is with you when you masturbate. Shame is stopping you from having a relationship with him not the other way around.
God will never leave you. The idea of doing something in secret apart from God is ridiculous. The idea of being ashamed or fearful or punishment from God is also ridiculous since God is Love and God is Mercy.
He wants a relationship with you. Sin isn't going to stop him, it will only stop you.
Forget about your sin, Jesus has dealt with it, cast it from your mind and focus on who God is and what joy he wants for you.

Actually, drinking more water can help you to burn more calories by regulating your metabolism, which is your body's ability to convert food into energy. By drinking 17 ounces of water per day, your metabolism could speed up by as much as 30 percent.
Take your weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That is about how many ounces of water you should drink each day. So a person who weighs 200 lbs should drink about 100 oz — or 3 L — of water per day.

Helps fight depression
If you have depression, the protein known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is reduced and your hippocampus, which helps with learning and memory, starts to shrink. A study shows that curcumin can boost BDNF levels and may reverse changes.
Another study shows that curcumin was just as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac) in lessening symptoms of depression. Curcumin may also increase levels of serotonin and dopamine — which are chemicals in your brain that regulate mood and other body functions

You have to make sure you get enough essential fatty acids.
The following is a list of plant foods rich in essential fatty acids:
Sources of Omega-3 fatty acids: flax seeds, hemp seeds, canola, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, soybeans and its products such as tofu and tempeh. Dark green veggies such as kale, collards, chard, parsley, seaweed, and cereal grasses (wheat & barley grasses) are also good sources because all green (chlorophyll-rich) foods contain Omega-3 fats in their chloroplasts.
Sources of Omega-6 fatty acids: Sunflower, safflower, soybeans, hemp seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and most grains.

Yes, Conservatives exhibit less cognitive ability than liberals do. Or that's what it says in the social science literature, anyway. A 2010 study using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, for example, found that the IQs of young adults who described themselves as "very liberal" averaged 106.42, whereas the mean of those who identified as "very conservative" was 94.82.
