Parallel Universes, Alien Religions and Carl Jung: An Interview With Clifford Pickover
If you aren’t familiar with the books and website of Clifford Pickover yet I recommend you drop whatever you’re doing and go check them out for a intelligence boost, as the quick scan of the latest horrifying and stupid news websites I just did while eating my Subway sub hammered the point home yet again that this planet needs more and better ideas now, and the more people stretching their minds the better.
