Information + Matter + Energy = Life

That's what many scientists are pondering. Read about the latest thoughts on the origin of life.

YHouse : On Matter and Information - The Origin of Recipes

This article made sense and satisfied my curiosity a little bit. But now I wonder, who drew the information on matter to make RNA?



I agree with the title of the next video and most of what Alan Watts says.

Alcohol Causes Brain Damage, Marijuana Does Not

Alcohol kills brain cells. We knew that for decades, if not centuries. Now, there are studies!


If marijuana is the only cure for pain and illness for some patients, it should be legal, right? Morgan Freedman agrees.

Reflections on Korea's Stance on Marijuana

Guess Korea's stance on marijuana has changed slightly. Haven't seen those anti-drug public messages and they do mention that other countries have legalized marijuana. And many people get off with a year or two of probation.

Canada, Uruguay, and Other Countries Violate International Drug Treaties

More and more nations are violating three international treaties on drugs in order to legalize marijuana and more are expected to follow suit.

Another Korean pop singer and some more old actors were arrested for smoking pot in Korea last week which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison. Bummer!

Research Shows THC Slows Alzheimer's Disease

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can slow the production of beta-amyloid proteins in the brain which are said to cause Alzheimer’s disease. It's a miracle drug. Seems to cure almost everything.

In the Bible, there is something about God giving humans herbs to consume. Someone made that herb illegal. Hope that someone faces God to try and explain. ^^

The above news was brought to you by High Times Magazine, recently bought out by wealthy investors.

High Times: Positive Effects of Medical Marijuana on Alzheimer’s Prevention





Still alive and rocking! Congratulations.

Seems Like Korean Media Is Always Worried About Companies

President Moon ordered a review of the Four Rivers Water Works Projects that were carried out during the Lee Myung-bak administration, where construction companies (Samsung, SK, Hyundai, and other business conglomerates) colluded in bids to fix prices and were convicted. They were banned from participating in future public projects, but were pardoned by the Park Keun-hye administration. Tens or hundreds of billions of dollars wasted in shoddy and questionable projects. A lot of Koreans want this investigated again. President Moon ordered a review and if there is any evidence of illegalities, then they will be investigated.

Korean media's spin? Construction companies are facing a hard time due to the economy and these investigations could hurt them. They usually add that this would be disastrous for the economy, but this was left out this time.

President Moon ordered a stop to construction of coal fired electrical generation plants. Korea media's spin? You got it! Most of the major construction companies depend on construction of these plants and if construction is stopped, most of them would lose money.

Anyway, you get the idea. I know these types of articles are normal, but when most of the media puts out lots of articles with similar spin, that is abnormal.

Korean Media vs American Media

President Trump pushed for job creation, and the media discussed the topic.

President Moon pushed for job creation, and some of the Korean media report on business fearing repercussions from this type of policy.

There are a few favorable articles, like this one.

Korea Herald: Policy advisory panel calls for greater competition to create more jobs

However, most are somewhat negative in tone, asking if it will be possible to create jobs that way and encouraging negative feelings. Most of these articles are in Korean like the ones below.

Asia Times: 새 정부의 ‘비정규직 제로’ 정책… 증권업계도 가능할까
Sisa Journal: 유통업계 꺼내든 일자리 카드…‘질(質)’도 좋을까

The majority of Koreans seem to believe the media. However, growing numbers are becoming very skeptical.
