Specialization is for insects. Robert A. Heinlein

I can relate to this : )

In this 30 minute interview he shares a lot of very interesting insights with us. One of them being that the elements that we call DNA literally are linked to the letters of the ancient alphabet. After 12 years of research the code of the uppermost layer of the human cell was cracked. It translates into “God Eternal Within The Body”.”

The following sentences are the ones Stefan has learned so far ; )

Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid, I have to live now.
Being not truthful works against me.
Helping other people helps me.
Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
Everything I do always comes back to me.
Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
Over time I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
Money does not make me happy.
Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
Assuming is stifling.
Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
Trying to look good limits my life.
Worrying solves nothing.
Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doeses.
Having guts always works out for me.

This inspired me to begin to write down my own things i learned so far… so in the future i’ll begin to post my own.
Until then visit his website deidcated to his project:

According to Raymond Kurzweil that moment is coming sooner that most of us ever dreamed of…

Today as i was checking my RSS daily fix i ran into a BBC documentary that picked where that Wired article has left ; )

As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
