using painkillers

I discoverer painkillers. I had taken pills that reduce inflammations or temperature,. But to kill minor pains. Not really. Thought beneath me. But then what a relief! And I remembered Seneca, who was teaching stoicism while was living a wealthy man's  life. What was the point of him teaching stoicism? Just to pretend to belong to a philosophy en vogue during his life? Teaching without practicing? Like  today's politicians? At that time I thought philosophers were living by their words. Right?    When he was told to commit suicide he was totally unprepared - had to try different methods....A stoic unprepared for death.

The internet as we know it will disappear.  This statement  is intended to mean that the internet will be ubiquitous.  All over. One would not notice it or pay any importance. And all our activities will be monitored. Measured. Limited and controlled. Intelligence. What will it mean or what does it mean?
To google will mean get in each and everyone's mind and move the info.

Altogether

Was looking for a book -Alone Together - at Barnes & Noble's. Turned out there are more than ten books with same title. Probably the authors were so isolated that they did not know of the existence of the other books.
They were provably published before the internet allowed searches...Probably this explains the development of  the social media. Now we are all connected together and lonely.
