"Love this book! It confirms what’s proven: our memories aren’t reality—they’re easily manipulated, distorted, & now can be erased or reengineered to create a new you.
Proving we don’t have a soul or spirit is simply how our minds formed. That’s it. Full stop.
I wish people would face reality—clinging to things that aren’t real—MAGA, the GOP, religion, and other fairy tales—is destroying society." — Jan 25, 2026 01:47AM

― A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
