Accomplished Martial Artist and Athlete:
Just consider some of the things that no one else had ever done before. Until he came along that is:

Lee could take in one arm a 75 lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his [...]

		<title>Staying Solid in an Ocean of Corrosivity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know corrosivity is not a word as far as you&#8217;ve heard. It is a novel combination of corrosive and acidity to me. Because I didn&#8217;t want to write &#8216;an ocean of acidity&#8217; &#8212; it&#8217;s not right, not P.C., err, I mean it&#8217;s not P.H.! (Gee&#8230;)  Simply equip and tip in a ton [...]

&#8220;Well, why not? Isn&#8217;t it due the same scrutiny as any other statistical or theoretical extrapolation?&#8221;
&#8220;No. Just no.&#8221;
&#8220;Why is that?&#8221;
&#8220;Don&#8217;t you understand?! &#8212; the Singularity is a sacred tenant of Nerd-dom, beating out even force-fields and light-sabers in conceptual God-status!&#8230;&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[First buddhism-related post in quite a while. This one a speech from one of my favorite wise people about progressing along the path of spiritual-development. What does it take to grow? Do we need guides along the way? Certainly it doesn&#8217;t hurt to be pushed once in a while. I love the story here and [...]

		<title>Five Percent Wu-Wei</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Way that can be experienced is not true;
The world that can be constructed is not real.
The Way manifests all that happens and may happen;
The world represents all that exists and may exist.
To experience without abstraction is to sense the world;
To experience with abstraction is to know the world.
These two experiences are indistinguishable;
Their construction differs [...]

		<title>Extropy +3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life is resistant to entropy. Survival of the species is genetic. And selfish self-preservation is the rule. Carried out over generations, species preserve themselves. And out of humans new forms of life are springing: tools and artificial intelligence that may choose to preserve themselves at some point and push outward into the universe, saturating the [...]

KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA, by Muse
Come ride with me through the veins of history
I&#8217;ll show you a God who falls asleep on the job
How can we win when fools can be kings?

		<description><![CDATA[Without going out of your door, you can know the ways of the world. Without peeping through your window, you can see the Way of Heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. Thus, the Sage knows without traveling, sees without looking, and achieves without struggle. — Lao Tse
