Wow Henry, that was fascinating and informative. It’s like everything else though, we know it should be done, we know it would benefit us all, but will we do it? I know this, I’ll be checking into it!
Wow, so how does one go about obtaining one or more of these life boxes?

Good post. Refreshing & interesting.
The revenue enforcement agents sure earned their salaries & got quite a bit of exercise/hard workout chasing us “Mycological Miscreants” around town…..-We did it out of a misguided concern for their health- Donuts are not a food group contrary to popular belief in the E.P.D……I’m pretty sure coffee is though?
Why is it that 9X outta 10 when you end up seeing something that’s a possible game changer the acronym DARPA always seems to follow shorty thereafter?
They are holding ALL the cards when comes to technology. We are already on the door step of an excusive breakaway segment within our civilization that will benefit greatly from such insights but are too service to self oriented to share such things on a global scale with the rest of us “Hoi Polloi”…..
…Unless the rest of us force them to play nice? They ARE outnumbered.
Good techy info on mushrooms. Two things:
First don’t let the Global Warming Moonies find out that mushrooms exhale co2. They think co2 warms the atmosphere, when Nasa has proven with an experiment using infrared sensors from the Saber satellite that the opposite is true. Co2 and NO reflected back into outer space, 95% of solar radiation incoming from the sun.
Second: The most impressive discovery regarding mushrooms was made recently at the University of Florida. Psilocybin mushrooms have been shown to not only repair damaged brain cells, but also grow new ones from scratch — which according to my EMT training was impossible.
No crime associated with these mushrooms. Cures AL timers, Parkinson’s, Dementia, damage from alcohol, trauma, etc.
Illegal because anyone can grow them and Big Pharma owns the government piglets.
