When a new system of abstracting wealth is introduced as not just an alternative but the norm I believe that we can finally start flying into the future at warp speed.
From Dmitri DB
Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are all based on matter and there is no matter here. Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion.

“A physicist is an atom’s way of knowing about atoms”

Harry Smith – Manteca – transcription of a song by Dizzy Gillespie.

Because the Earth is a small charged body moving in a large cell of plasma, explanations of all physical phenomena in, on, and near the Earth must take the electrical behavior of plasma into account. The waterspout shows us once again that plasma behavior can take many different forms.
Magnus Andreas Holen Myrtveit says:
“Western norway, present day, humanity finds itself drunk in the backseat of a car, unsure of where to go, gazing outward whilst clawing at the window. outside there are a plethora of tiny stars coated in an immense, overwhelming darkness.”

“Everything you’ve learned in school as “obvious” becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There’s not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.”
Buckminster Fuller

From infosthetics.com: "...the life-size chair is an exact replica of the soundwave graph so that the result is a product with dual existence as both a "sound" & a "chair"."
We know we are more than just neurons firing. Or, at least we think we are, while the neurons are firing.

"I wonder whether fractal images are not touching the very structure of our brains. Is there a clue in the infinitely regressing character of such images that illuminates our perception of art? Could it be that a fractal image is of such extraordinary richness, that it is bound to resonate with our neuronal circuits and stimulate the pleasure I infer we all feel?" (P. W. Atkins)

“We talk far too much. We should talk less and draw more. I personally should like to renounce speech altogether and, like organic Nature, communicate everything I have to say in sketches. That fig tree, this little snake, the cocoon on my window sill quietly awaiting its future – all these are momentous signatures.”

A person able to decipher their meaning properly would soon be able to dispense with the written or the spoken word altogether. The more I think of it, there is something futile, mediocre, even (I am tempted to say) foppish about speech. By contrast, how the gravity of Nature and he silence startle you, when you stand face to face with her, undistracted, before a barren ridge or in the desolation of ancient hills. (Goethe)

Karman Vortices — Each of these swirling clouds is a result of a meteorological phenomenon known as a Karman vortex. These vortices appeared over Alexander Selkirk Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Rising precipitously from the surrounding waters, the highest point on the island is nearly a mile (1.6 km) above sea level. As wind-driven clouds encounter this obstacle, they flow around it to form these large, spinning eddies.
“In the same way that a microscope will calibrate your eyesight, computer simulations can re-calibrate your instinct across vast scales of space and time.”

"From about 1956 until 1964, US aeronautics engineers and rocket scientists at the Langley Research Center developed a series of spherical satellite balloons called, awesomely enough, satelloons. Dubbed Project Echo, the 100-foot diameter aluminumized balloons were one of the inaugural projects for NASA, which was established in 1958."
Visual Poetry 2006—A numerical value is assigned to every letter of the alphabet. Adding the values of all letters, one gets a number that represents the overall word. Using this system, an entire poem is arranged on a circular path. The diameter of the circle is based on the length of the poem.


Bolivian Deforestation — Once a vast carpet of healthy vegetation and virgin forest, the Amazon rain forest is changing rapidly. This image of Bolivia shows dramatic deforestation in the Amazon Basin. Loggers have cut long paths into the forest, while ranchers have cleared large blocks for their herds. Fanning out from these clear-cut areas are settlements built in radial arrangements of fields and farms. Healthy vegetation appears bright red in this image.
