A Navy fact sheet on what it calls 'non-lethal optical distractors' reads:

    Non-lethal optical distracters are visible laser devices that have reversible optical effects on human targets. These types of non-blinding laser devices use highly directional optical energy to support several non-lethal capabilities, including:

Perhaps all this was a type of "burn it down", punk activism, and it will be released on twitter for public download. The BTC could have been their funding mechanism. Not for profit, but for the lolz in an election year?

Have you blogged or told your story anywhere? I'm curious to learn more!

Sometimes better is defined as [more colors|more available|lower price|supports my phone].

So it is competition, for sure!

Why did you have to bring politics into this (Buttlegug)?

I think my doctor and I can make those choices best from a wide spectrum of solutions, not only those lobbyied for by Giliad.

I would like this, especially for tests (I understand being more restrictive for treatment but still disagree with the winner take all corpratism that results under current regime)

I think you reacted too strongly, IMO. I only said some. People and their doctors are the MOST concerned with their lives...not you, not politicians, and not FDA staffers.

If I want to treat my (illegal war) PTSD, depression or anxiety with novel treatments like 2CB, LSD, or MDMA, that is my choice. It immoral to restrict my supply with the barrel of a gun.

I personally hope this shows (some) irrelevance of FDA bureaucracy...if they weren't need in the worst of times, why are they needed in the best of times?

Let entrepreneurs, doctors, and patients decide their individual risk level. I would rather have more options than less.

Edit: as an alternative to any knee jerk critism (I said "some"), why can't states handle this and the best emerge? I'm a big proponent of localism.

>less administration fees of the UBI program

Show me a success story where this didn't become a gigantic suck on the funds

Also libertarian minded....have you considered that in a natural state, businesses this large would be very hard to maintain? The fundamental business structure we have today is based around a government-sanctioned "personhood".

If you could strip this away, there would be no corporate veil, and you could sue the person who failed to act (or whom acted wrongly) and did you wrong. Think of bankers at Wells Fargo creating false accounts in customer names...hire investigator or do your own, sue, discover, repeat...there would be MUCH MORE downside to bad behavior, even if the upside is there.

I think personally that organizations like GORE would exist, and who knows what else might emerge...more co-ops?

Of course this does require 3rd-party alternate court systems (maybe like cert issuers, but held to the same liability standard above?)...our current system cannot handle this, so it may be largely academic thoughts.

I named my son after Orion.

We've decided if Betelgeuse goes away we won't amputate to follow suit...

He seems like a young technical Andy Rooney!
