  • JOHN CARLOS: Yeah, “Blimey, John. You’re calling me with these blimey questions here?” And I said to him, I said, “Pete, I have a concern, man. What’s this about you don’t want to have your statue there? What, are you backing away from me? Are you ashamed of us?” And he laughed, and he said, “No, John.” He said—you know, the deep thing is, he said, “Man, I didn’t do what you guys did.” He said, “But I was there in heart and soul to support what you did. I feel it’s only fair that you guys go on and have your statues built there, and I would like to have a blank spot there and have a commemorative plaque stating that I was in that spot. But anyone that comes thereafter from around the world and going to San Jose State that support the movement, what you guys had in ’68, they could stand in my spot and take the picture.”

    Really cool move here. Like the message it sends that anyone can (and should) stand up and do the right thing and support those that are oppressed.















  • It’s called the Everyman/uberman sleep cycle depending on how extreme you go and it’s pretty interesting. Tried the Everyman for awhile and it was nice but if you get sick or otherwise mess it up it you basically have to restart the whole process. Also tough to do if you’re not single, once I met my wife I fully gave it up.




  • Open to changing my stance but can you back that up? I see ~0.5 million from excess deaths from just the Iraq war which is put on GWB. There’s more I’d say he’s responsible for too thats just the top thing.

    Wouldn’t count deaths from starvation due to famine entirely on a ruler considering the shape the country was left in post Korea war thanks to the US but even if you tried to largely attribute that it seems pretty close.
