The couldn't keep up filling the whole CoC with words starting with C, but at least they did in the "Purpose Pyramid".

Otherwise looks like any standard CoC.

As legendary circus impresario P.T. Barnum might have said, "there's a CoC sucker born every minute."

Here is the short flashcard version -- this applies to most big corporations, and more or less all multinationals:

Nice, but will you be "disruptively agile in your growth strategy"?

I can say that I have never been, nor ever will be, in danger of that. It is all sorts of evil.

Black liquorice is very nice once in a while, but I don't eat 50 grams a month, let alone 50 grams a day.

I never played it but it is still an interesting read

[QUOTE]Lots of weird, wonderful stories about the transformative powers of hallucinogens and psychotropic drugs pass through my Prismatic feed every week, most coming from oddball [URL="http://collectivelyconscious.net"]quirkblogs[/URL] I’ve never heard of, referencing cool but suspicious-sounding studies that might or might not be the slightest bit legit and written in a style that you might call “excited New Age hippie,” and therefore, despite my own admiration for all things altered consciousness, not all that useful for tossing into the columnal mix.[/QUOTE][QUOTE]Could psilocybin become a wonder drug of the near future? Who knows. But one thing seems certain: There’s simply zero chance of these compounds being made in any way legal for the masses. Governments are just too terrified. What’s more, Big Pharma can’t trademark MDMA, or psilocybin, or DMT, or LSD, so of course it’s in their best interest to ensure they remain illegal, and keep you unduly scared of them. Can you imagine if some miraculous, easily available natural compound could eliminate the need for all those toxic, expensive medications, rehab clinics, self-help books and costly psychotherapists? Capitalism shudders.[/QUOTE]
