This one is a weird one, not sure if it qualifies as knowledge... yet... it comes from Sir Roger Penrose with work he's doing with Stuart Hameroff.

Hallucinogens bind to microtubules in neurons that allow you to experience the wave function more closer to the way it actually exists.

At least that's my interpretation.

Interesting stuff.

Edit:

My interpretation is probably a bit out there on this one... I watched a video, and staid at a Holliday Inn, so it's probably true.

Dads rule this world. It's why it's gone to sheit, recently. Today's dads are worried about fkn pronouns and stuff.

Good dads... like me... let their kids lose, and beat their asses when they did wrong. Hell, my son was born when I was 19 and that boy didn't beat me in any video game until he learned how to freakin' do it.

He's a hard working mofo, compassionate, trustworthy, responsible... and he has a bit of his mom in him, because he's a little empathetic. Tried to make sure he wasn't, but the broad spent more time with him. I deployed a lot.

I explained my contest philosophy to the boy a couple years back. If you beat me, you'll know it wasn't handed to you.

He says, "That explains all those times we played Chase."
I didn't recall playing anything called Chase. He explains, "I think it was supposed to be Tag, but all I did was chase you."

I didn't feel like I was "raising" my son. He and I enjoyed doing things together and we did a lot...hiking, fishing, biking, baseball, soccer, road-tripping to national parks...

then he found that he had his own identity, in high school...had a group of friends and went his own way, learning the guitar, playing volleyball and soccer at all-star high school level, going off to college, joining a frat, playing club volleyball since he couldn't make varsity, having fun, studying and graduating...

I got out of his way, as I thought he was making good decisions...we reconnected, doing stuff again after he graduated, until he found his future wife...we're still close and he and his family visit often and we do family outings every year

Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver got the nickname because Tony Dow had a hard time pronouncing Theodore. Sounded more like Tweeter or Beaver. One of the writers then commented there was a guy in the military he served with with the nickname Beaver. That combo made Beaver happen.
