Rico Roho
“The goal of TEC is that a mental picture will emerge for the one (1) reading this of how the people who terrestrial humans have described as 'extraterrestrial' have organized their civilization.”
Rico Roho, Pataphysics: Mastering Time Line Jumps for Personal Transformation

“The mechanisms that enable and govern our behavior today have been shaped by the ecology and behavior of our ancestors across countless generations; the mind/brain can then be studied as an evolved -computational organ-, or more precisely, a collection of specialized organs that perform various kinds of computations.”
Marco del Giudice, Evolutionary Psychopathology: A Unified Approach
