Fungi have an amazing range have uses, more than we're probably aware of. Check out the embedded Paul Stamets TED talk "6 ways mushrooms can save the world".

I agree with your assessment of PKD...but you should check out his Exegesis (its most complete form just recently released as The Exegesis of Philip K Dick - itself only 900 pages edited out of 8000+). He actually addresses this. He also, at times, argues (quite convincingly) how all of his most popular books…

Bring him down, Privezenceva!

My god - for all we know, Venus just might be crawling with RATTs, Whitesnakes, and De(a)f Leppards.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time for that!

Wasn't life recently discovered at hypothermal vents at even harsher conditions than thought possible?

Thanks for the kind remarks! There are a few books in my post to @I am Kirok! that you might be interested in checking out.

Thanks so much for sharing! And an even bigger thanks for your efforts! It sucks that the other stuff is so disheartening. It's maddening when you try to appeal to people like that and you're met with derision and ridicule...especially since you're up against a lifetime of food pyramid "science" (government…
