Interview with Dr. Richard J. Roberts, Nobel Prize in Medicine "The Drugs that completely cure are not profitable" Interview with Dr. Richard J. (Original en español: I’m 63 years old: the worst about getting older is that you consider many “truths” as holy: that’s when you need new questions. - Can research be planned? If I were Minister of Science, I would seek enthusiastic people with interesting projects, just give them money so they wouldn’t need to do anything else than investigate and let them work ten years to surprise us. - It seems like a good policy.

Often the most profitable discoveries have been made from very basic questions. - How was it created? - An adventure by itself!

Friendly Fuedalism - The Tibet Myth I. For Lords and Lamas Along with the blood drenched landscape of religious conflict there is the experience of inner peace and solace that every religion promises, none more so than Buddhism. Standing in marked contrast to the intolerant savagery of other religions, Buddhism is neither fanatical nor dogmatic--so say its adherents.

TheNewSSA : #thenewssa is a wish to establish... TheNewSSA : Another reason to abolish... Eliminating Currency is a viable proposal. Pro In retrospect, I should have posted my remaining responses to your first set of arguments in the comments section. I believe we have reached somewhat of an agreement on what the core argument is to prove whether this plan can be viable, that is individual"s time contribution being equal (Logistics). So, I will focus on that. I will also respond to CON responses regarding Equal Credits for Equal hours and Risk vs. Reward (Popular Acceptance), R & D investing (Sustainability) and Morality.
