Yes, yes, god yes please. I think the eight-hour work day is downright insane — or rather, the fact that everyone just accepts it as the standard seems crazy to me. I honestly cannot think of a single activity that I would actually want to do, or would be good at doing, for eight hours in a row. I guess sleeping for

There has been strong arguments for years for having 30 hours be the norm. The biggest one is that the happiest countries in the world tend to have 30-ish hour work week norms plus ample holiday time available for each employee. The problem is our culture, which is a much harder beast to tame. We have a culture that

Everything about the calendar and the concept of a "work day" ought to be rethought.

Thank you, I can't believe how easily the people above are dismissing this. How hard is it to understand that curing cancer doesn't make money and you can't patent a plant.

One of my favorite quotes.

This is kind of ridiculous, there have been many cases of cancer being reversed by mainly a change in diet. How does this make him a con man? I'm sure he would make even more money if he was offering chemo. From what I've seen of doctor surveys they don't even overly believe in chemo. A 6% cure rate isn't something to

How is it fitting to punish a guy for having less fatal methods than the "official" medical society association that demands you pay ludicrous amounts of money so that they can slowly kill you with radiation, while they claim it can save your life?
