"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Wherever I am.
An article on Ray Kurzweil, one of my favorite inventors of all time.

http://www.wired.com/medtech/drugs/magazine/16-04/ff_kurzweil?currentPage=all

Kurzweil has a fascinating view of the future, chock full of practical science fiction. From robotic organs to immortal human intelligence and evolutionary singularites, Ray maps out the transition to a bizarre and intriguing tomorrow.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Fame! I'm going to live forever.

If I can project I may live to be 125 then I don't have to feel so old at 31 I suppose. Interesting stuff.

immortality is a myth, it ain't ever going to happen in my opinion.

Let's just see if you feel the same way when you're 250 years old, youngin'.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Honestly, I'd never WANT to live forever. I think it'd be awful.

It'd be so tiring, and I kinda want to see what death holds.

Don't want to live forever? Pick the day you want to die.

for most people it's always sometime in the future unless they are ill and in unbearable pain or mentally ill or something.

I want to live forever. I want to see the day when my corporeal body is composed of state of the art nano-bots that can do marvelous magical things and when my consciousness doesn't depend on any one corporeal housing.

Basically... Everywhere
I really want to see what the future holds. Especially within the field of technology etc. That Boston robot was sick! Check out Akimo on youtube too. Its insane that they have this technology already.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

But can a robot savior lead us in war?

Holy **** that dog thing is so sweet. I didn't know we were anywhere close to making something that can actually walk and run on four legs intelligently. The way it recovered when slipping on the ice was very impressive.

Couple more years and that thing will be on two legs.

I'm conflicted.

I want the 2017 model that looks like an anatomically correct Winona Ryder, age 20, but I fear that the Army already has 3 with guns on them somewhere in New Mexico, practicing their marksmanship.
