Can you NOT think of the ending of GR?

[Alex Colter]

Apparently Holmes was accepted into the "cream of the crop" summer boot
camp run by Miramar college for writing, while still in high school a
computer program that illustrates "temporary perceptions of causality and
programmed a flicker fusion utility". Flicker fusion being a lively Topic
of interest for those Devotees of Xi Nao (brainwashing).
It also seems, and this has been a lively topic for the popular Paranoids,
that he took part in research programs while at Salk that were directly
funded by DARPA...?

Certainly a few smoking guns here. but one would do well to not trust
everything the internet tells us.
