The people who run countries believe in the supernatural. It’s the main thing they believe in. Why do they try so hard to convince the rest of us...

That’s exactly what I am doing. I’m aiming at the noble goal of ending religiously motivated violence. I am regarded by skeptics as arrogant, not ambitious, and insane, not intelligent. View quoted note →

Use of a mortar and pestle has proof of work baked in as it must first be “seasoned”, similar to how cast iron must be seasoned before it can be properly used. To season a mortar and pestle, first you must wash, WITHOUT SOAP, both pieces. Do this with water and a clean sponge. Next, grind white rice into rice flour using the mortar and pestle. This will remove grit and polish the porous surfaces on both pieces. Do this repeatedly until the rice flour is white, not grey. This part of the process is work intensive. Without rinsing, add some garlic cloves, coarse salt, a handful of cumin seed, and a bit of whole coriander into the mortar and grind it all into a paste. Coat the entire inner surface area of the mortar and the grinding areas of the pestle with this paste. Let this paste remain coating your mortar and pestle overnight. Bare minimum, a few hours, but half a day would be closer to ideal. Rinse the paste out USING ONLY WATER, NO SOAP. At this point your mortar and pestle are seasoned and ready for use. 🪶
