Mind Uploading: Brain Facts
What's the scale of things here? The following lengths (from Posner p. 305) give approximate sizes for structures in the nervous system: 0.001 mm: synapses (tip of a connection between neurons) 0.1 mm: neurons (brain cell) 1 mm: local circuits (small networks of cells) 10 mm: maps (spatially organized topographic maps) 100 mm: systems (e.g., the visual system) 1000 mm: the central nervous system (including spinal cord) How many things are we talking about? Short answer: a LOT. Long answer: Per cubic millimeter (mm^3), there are about 10^5 neurons and 10^9 synapses. How fast does the brain work? Not very fast by computer standards. How are memories stored in the brain? This is one of the great questions of neuroscience, and research has nearly converged on an answer. OK, so neurons and connections, is that it? Well, there's more in the brain than that. More Brain Facts and Figures are available from the University of Washington.

3 World Wars Planned by Illuminati Albert Pike in 1871 - Everything About NWO | Humans Are Free
This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that have already taken place. It is a commonly believed fallacy that for a short time, the Pike letter to Mazzini (33 rank mason who founded the Mafia in 1860) was on display in the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy.The British Library has confirmed in writing to me that such a document has never been in their possession. Furthermore, in Carr's book, Satan, Prince of this World, Carr includes the following footnote: "The Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT catalogued in the British Museum Library. It seems strange that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez's knowledge should have said that it WAS in 1925". In 1785, Restif coined the phrase four years before revolution broke out.

America is unraveling at a stunning speed and to a staggering degree. This decline is breathtaking, and the prognosis is dim. For starters, Obama now rules by decree. “That’s the good thing about being president,” Obama joked on February 10. That very day, Obama decreed that the Obamacare mandate for employers with 50 to 99 workers would be postponed until 2016 (beyond an earlier extension to 2015), well past the November 2014 midterm elections. So, by fiat, Obama has postponed the employer mandate. Also by decree last week, Obama decided unilaterally to soften political-asylum rules. Meanwhile, the Justice Department is working hard to revoke the asylum of and deport the Romeikes. So, Obama believes, those who are only somewhat helpful to deadly, anti-U.S. terrorists may become Americans, while religiously oppressed homeschoolers who face prison should get the hell out. The transparent electoral motive that fuels so many of Obama’s executive orders seems unprecedented. Chilling.

Psychoactive Vaults : A Guide to Psychedelics
Although every effort has been made to compile accurate information, the reader is warned that factual errors may be present. Only the legal information is specific to the United Kingdom. Apologies for the representation of chemical structures being limited to ASCII. Feel free to distribute this file or copy in it any form whatever. INTRODUCTION This file gives practical information about using a class of drugs most commonly known as the 'psychedelics' by their advocates (of which I am one) or, more pejoratively, as the 'hallucinogens'. More recently some Americans have suggested 'entheogens' or 'empathogenes' (the later specifically for the new drugs such as MDMA) as new names unblemished by association with the drug sub-culture, which emerged in the advanced world, most notably in California, in the late 1960s. These drugs are not generally habit-forming and many have been used for centuries in many different countries and cultures for religious purposes. LSD ( 'Acid' ) '...
