This book is about GOD’S Cosmic Laugh. I can hear GOD laugh every day. No, I'm not delusional. I'm serious. It's not a normal laugh. It's a cosmic laugh. It's a soundless laugh which vibrates and pervades the entire universe. BUT why does GOD laugh? God was alone and felt lonely and bored. HE needed entertainment.

According to newspaper La República of Montevideo, Uruguay, "In ...

Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know.
