crisis of agreement “A sunny afternoon, a family playing cards on a terrace. One of them thinks they should move - not that he cares, on the contrary, but he thinks the others want to - so he proposes a trip to Abilene. No fun, hot, bad food. Back home one of them admits that he had preferred to stay home. Everybody would have liked that, only they did not admit to it when it was still time to enjoy the afternoon.” extracted from “The Abilene Paradox” by Jerry B. Harvey

When the fungus is ready to sporulate, the mycelia grow into the ant�s brain. The fungus then produces …

patterns and antipatterns “Patterns are the recurring solutions to the problems of design. People learn patterns by seeing them and recall them when need be without a lot of effort. Patterns link together in the mind so that one pattern leads to another and another until familiar problems are solved. That is, patterns form languages, not unlike natural languages, within which the human mind can assemble correct and infinitely varied statements from a small number of elements.”

A fundamental tenet was that the way to achieve well-being ( or “utility” ) is through economic growth. In the case of individuals, raise your income. In the case of nations, pump up the GDP ( to allow citizens to aquire more utility ). The first important ( and largely ignored ) challenge to those assumptions was a seminal 1974 study of the relationship between eco…

Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) were first discovered by the Swedish artist Friedrich Jürgenson in 1959. J�rgenson was recording birdsong using a reel-to-reel tape recorder. When he replayed the tapes, he heard faint but intelligible voices in the background, even though there was no-one else in the vicinity when the recordings were made. By repeating the procedure, J�rgenson found that the voice recordings could be reliably replicated.

Thus, many people today call these kinds of questions “Fermi questions”.'

Enrico Fermi asked what was (to him) an obvious question: “where is everybody?” “Fermi realized that any civilization with a modest amount of rocket technology and an immodest amount of imperial incentive could rapidly colonize the entire Galaxy. Within ten million years, every star system could be brought under the wing of empire. Ten million years may sound long, but in fact it's quite short compared with the age of the Galaxy, which is roughly ten thousand million years.”

That is, any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete.

“Traditional Computer Based Learning (CBL) methods typically rely on one-way transmission of information. These methods are seen as extensions of classroom learning and thus viewed by children as restrictive. Consequently, results from such CBL initiatives have, at best, been mixed. In Contrast, Hole-in-the-wall Learning Stations seek to create a new paradigm in the learning process by providing unrestricted computer access to groups of children in an open playground setting.”

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 15:35:57 +0100

Ketamine and the Near Death Experience Ketamine was a cult hit with doctors. Think Dead Ringers by David Cronenberg. Now the cat is out of the bag. Perhaps the greatest appeal to a reader of cyberpunk fiction such as William Gibson or Neil Stephenson lies in its ability to simulate the experience of a brain consciousness roaming within a global neural network, untethered by a physical body.

“Libertarianism [...] is a theory of those who find it hard to avoid their taxes, who are too small, incompetent or insufficiently connected [...] In its maundering about a mythical ideal-type capitalism, libertarianism betrays its fear of actually existing capitalism, at which it cannot quite succeed. It is a philosophy of capitalist inadequacy.” -- China Mieville

For life to exist there are some major hurdles... “The environmental requirements for life to exist depend quite strongly on the life form in question. The conditions for primitive life to exist, for example, are not nearly so demanding as they are for advanced life. Also, it makes a big difference how active the life form is and how long it remains in its environment. On this basis there are six distinct zones or regions in which life can exist.”

It's like a dog obeying the orders of a master no matter how evil the master is.

Instead of designing a new and different mechanical robot for each task, you just build many copies of one simple module. The module can't do much by itself, but when you connect many of them together you get a system that can do complicated things. In fact, a modular robot can even reconfigure itself -- change its shape by moving its modules around -- to meet the demands of different tasks or diffe…

Panvitalism The alchemical notion that everything in the universe is alive (and also the universe itself.) The wisdom gained from minerals. Animals had the shortest lives but the most complicated structures > Minerals had the longest lives and the simplest forms. Minerals were alive, just look at crystals growing and volcanoes erupting. Minerals were thought to grow from seeds, like plants from seeds and men from semen. Growing deep in the earth, maturing s they rose up. So knowing the secr…

Deities p~lot characters, based on the Plot World Context The Deities, entities who used to exist betwixt realities, have lost most of their powers in the rupture of the membranes. They are slowly diminishing, shrinking, solidifying and decaying in silence. Although they might have the wisdom to restore the 01 continuum, their powers are so weakened that they can only quietly witness the fragmentation of their realms, hoping for miracles.

They are the ones who assist and aid the Inverts and feed the Deities to prevent their disappearance.

“Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.” --Jean Anouilh, L'Alouette, 1952 “One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.” --George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia, 1938

Proverbs for Paranoids * You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures. * The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master. * If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers. * You hide, they seek. * Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.

Drugs perturb the system from its pharmacological origin by altering the activity of transmitter and receptor systems, through increasing or decreasing transmission or transmitter levels, or up or down regulating receptor populations.

A prototype situation where reflection occurs is in the so called lambda calculus. This is a formal theory that is capable of describing algorithms, logical and mathematical proofs, but also itself.” --Henk Barendregt

The HSK (reimagining a theory of origins) Calvin says to Hobbes, “I've been reading about the beginning of the universe. They call it 'The Big Bang.' Isn't it weird how scientists can imagine all the matter of the universe exploding out of a dot smaller than the head of a pin, but they can't come up with a more evocative name for it than 'the Big Bang'? That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder.” Hobbes asks, �…

Valuator is a study of the contemporary art market, focusing on marketing strategies for new media art sales. The most innovative and challenging of contemporary art practices are not transacted in the mainstream market for current art. To have agency within these spheres of trade, the results of new media art disciplines require a redefinition of: what is deemed collectable; how the price mechanics in fine art are circulated and the preservation instruments used to build the heritage trust nece…

Vedanta has often been studied without relating it to the Vedic system of knowledge. The reason behind this situation is the fashionable but wrong view that Vedic thought is “pre-scientic” and at best it represents “archaic modes of thought”. But recent scholarship has shown that astronomy was one of the bases of the design of Vedic fire altars and an astronomical code has been discovered in the organization of the Rigveda. It is now being accepted that the Vedic people knew considerable…
