How Drugs Played a Role in the Invention of the Internet
The Singularity Summit is the premiere futurist conference (it's happening in New York City on October 15 and 16). Among the speakers is Current TV's Jason Silva, the director of the forthcoming documentary, Turning into Gods. Taking a page from Timothy Leary, the folks behind the Whole Earth Catalog, Ray Kurzweil, and other visionaries, Silva's work looks at the ways in technological progress is allowing humans to direct their own evolution. And the ways in which prohibitionists of all stripes push back on new ways of being human. "People have always sort of been scared of new technologies," says Silva. "But in the end we assimilate them and they improve the quality of our lives." Interview by Reason's Zach Weissmueller. Shot and edited by Sharif Matar. About 11 minutes long.

Paul Graham of Y-Combinator on Startups
Founder of the iconic Y Combinator startup accelerator and related aggregator Hacker News, Graham is a hero to masses of would-be startup gods. His helped launch more than 150 startups throughout his career, and he's done so with a lot less cold, hard capital than you'd imagine. As he told the Harvard Computer Society in 2005.
You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible. Most startups that fail do it because they fail at one of these. A startup that does all three will probably succeed.
Y Combinator gathers large groups of startup teams "generally a young, developer-heavy crowd" and infuses them with advice, training and small amounts of seed capital, which let founders keep ramen on the table and prove their passion for the work over the course of a few months.
This program has spawned dozens of spin-offs around the country. More than an incubator and more than a VC fund, Y Combinator has changed how we think about timelines, road maps, the importance of mentorship, and what it means to be a lean startup. The program has also created an elite crew of alumni who still dine out once a week and secure funding for later projects based on their former Y Combinator successes.

This Thanksgiving, Rick Astley performed the biggest live Rick roll since he used to perform live back in the '80s. I take that back, it's the biggest live Rick roll ever. After all, isn't Thanksgiving the day where we get together with our loved ones and let them know that we'll never give them up, let them down, run around or desert them?
