#ShameOnYouCrossfit. Shame.

Alas, I've had to rehabilitate a number of people after coming through the crossfit program. This video will give you some insight into why....

We know that disturbing a circular system such as an ecosystem damages it through its inability to deal with positive feedb...

"This is very possible my dear, but mostly because I believe it to be possible still...." "I'm confused..., why would..." she started, but he cut her off..."sorry darling, I have to continue this thought, so please bear with me..." First, when contemplating an answer you must ponder the question... it is imperative to ask the right question. ...and Einstein once said that the most complicated theories must be understood by children or they are useless. So the question must be simple, and it must be sensical, not be dissuaded by emotional attachment and have answers that will stand the test of time. The question that haunts me is the one that ties the world I live in everyday to the world that I believe unfolds around me at my behest and without my permission. The question i...
