Well, it is a hard read, but in short - it offers a curious interpretation of your personal experience of the world, suggesting that you are the only being, reality is manufactured…

"I am that" You can listen to some quotes from the book here: https://web.archive.org/web/2oe_/http://wayback-fakeurl.arch...

I've found a lot of good opening lines in short free-form essays. Here are some examples: "This single stick, which you now behold ingloriously lying in that neglected corner, I on…

Thanks! This works with one exception - when two links in a row are from the same domain only the first one is removed. I don't know any javascript, but this is my attempt at modif…
