    Tech’s wealth “is woven out of the contributions of billions of people,” but isn’t shared with them. “This helps explain why the tech industry is so ludicrously profitable. Facebook reported a 2018 net income of $22 billion with operating margins of 45%”

    But as I sit here at the end of a long day, shoes off, looking at the Christmas gift I’ll give my brother in a couple of days, I hope it’s true for Ram Dass, and for all of us.

    He used to say that death would feel like taking off your shoes at the end of a long day. It’s an optimistic notion, to be sure.

    But whenever I remember, I am filled with gratitude for Ram Dass. If I have any redeeming qualities as a human being, he is a big part of the reason why.

    It’s a hard thing to do, but I try. Hundreds of times a day, I forget the simple truth of his message. Hard not to get hung up on petty slights and the slings and arrows of being a human in this short life!

    That Christmas, I brought several copies and several tabs of LSD back home with me to Texas. I turned on my brother and many of my hometown friends, handing them the book as they went through their first psychedelic trips. Be Here Now changed their lives, too.
