Again, SC is not letting me put an image on this post, despite its small size and jpeg format. If anyone has suggestions, I would be most grateful. Despite the lack of a teaser image, if you are interested .... please follow the link to a very interesting project. Thank you.

No one can play a game alone. One cannot be human by oneself. There is no selfhood where there is no community. We do not relate to others as the persons we are; we are who we are in relating to others. Simultaneously the others with whom we are in relation are themselves in relation. We cannot relate to anyone who is not also relating...

Light Moon & Liszt I realize that this may be an unconventional post on SC, as it is a personal video. Yet, I would not post it, if I did not think it was relevant to the spirit of the blog. I was inspired by the moment, noting timing, light, moon and energy to take pictures at a specific moment. Later, I joined them in this video. ...

And we, inhabitants of the great coral Cosmos, believe the atom (which we still cannot see) to be full matter, whereas, it too, like everything else, is but an embroidery of voids in the Void, and we give the name of being, dense and even eternal, to that dance of inconsistencies, that infinite extension that is identified with absolute...

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless. like water. You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. you put it into a tea-pot it becomes the tea-pot. Water can flow, or it can chrash. Be water my friend. ^ video On my wall I have a poster of Bruce Lee and one of Pharrell Williams. These are my two heroes. I admire Mr. Lee,...

The more distant an object is, the longer the light from that object has been traveling to reach us. Functionally, when we see an object 9.9 billion light years away we are seeing how that object looked 9.9 billion years ago, allowing astronomers to peer into the distant past and derive some truths about the moments immediately after the Big...

One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition. text : Alvin Toffler, an American writer and futurist photos : Elina Brotherus, from the series Artists at Work, 2009.

Simulation hypothesis is questioning whether the universe is just a simulation of some sort. Entropy measures the chaos of a system- a closed system generally moves from a simple state to a more complex state. Entropy happens because the computation power running "our" simulation has increased. The computer running our simulation...

Simplicity is not an objective in art, but one achieves simplicity despite one's self by entering into the real sense of things. - Constantin Brancusi.

Decomposition (also liking is a sort of computation) - In truth it must be told that Fram78 was not the real beginning, it had after all seventy-seven iterations before that.

Witches, wizards, spirits, ghosts, gods, aliens, metaphysical, the unknown, whatever you want to call it. There are parts of the world we dont much understand yet. Every area of science starts as religion. When quantum physics was first discovered, most people saw it that way. Many still do. I'm not saying those beliefs are wrong, but there is a...

Motivating people is very simple, and its surprising how most people can fail to understand its most basic concept.... Everyone acts toward their own goals, whatever those may be, some weighted more important than others. They act toward nothing else. Their goals may include good things for others or that others also accomplish their own goals in...

I wanted to share this project, which was developed as a research method to discover how reflexivity affects our interpretation of a performance and our self-perception. Inspired by wearable methods of tracking and biometric quantification in order to optimise interpretation and self-reflection, this project speculates how our biometric personal...

Trade Secrets and NonDisclosure Agreements are a plague on reusing valuable knowledge and tools.

It has been a while and I thought it real and effectual to deflect the inner reflectivity of extreme individualism before you depart for the land of beyond where you will be alone. At least, at last, superficially so, seemingly so. For the great one of haecceity will be with you. For suchness reveals haecceity, but you know that. Being...

I would venture to say that this may be the most innovative fashion "runway" show you have ever seen. Even if you are not a fan of fashion, the video is an incredible visual journey through a fractal world. However, if you are interested in the fashion and the design of the clothing, you will find layers upon layers of fabric draped and...

Nate was outside the area where the artificial was usually contacted. If the humans were taken out this time, then Nate had to decide how he would avoid being torn in half, each side being consumed by either the aliens or machines. That was what neutralized the Noths. It was traumatizing the transhumans. It would also affect the artificials and...

Nate was in his area in the Vat. He was evaluating his condition. There was a stripe on his sleeve like people had to wear for a couple of days after reset. Nate's wrist irritated him no end. It was held by an invisible cuff. He would reach the key only to see it dissolve in his grasp. It was a prisoner's dilemma. When Nate looked for the chain...

Nate imagined what it would have been like if he had never been abducted. He was distressed by the climate. He saw the equivalent of the Vat in natural formations such as caves. In a place like that, he could think about the meaning of the Vat. He is exploring humanity's origins. That unwound the trail from the Vat to aliens, posthumans, machines...

Nate had never seen a truer day. Everybody knew that the system had the weather established ahead of time, but this time they had outdone themselves. It was gorgeous, sky, sun, sea and sand. There was no way that it could ever be any better than this. Perhaps there was some advantage to having a machine admin. He was in the right place at the...

One of my paid hobbies has been innovation for the company, as in making new technology work for us to help us complete our jobs for clients, easier, faster or more reliable.

Most people on SC, myself included, post videos and writings science related. After listening to a song tonight, I realized that not much music is posted. Some may think this is not the forum for that. However, I tend to disagree. Inspiration can be found in many forms. The song I am about to share is called "Mind Power". The title...

Nate noticed that the surface of the artifact had changed somehow. He looked at it closer and it got lighter where he held it. "What's going on?" Nate asked. "Put it down." Nate heard a voice, but could not recognize it. He placed the object on the ground. "Who is it?" he asked. "You are not a...

Nate could not wait to get to Earth because the transhumans would have the answers to his questions which everyone seemed to be so ignorant about. The Noth cautioned him not to get his hopes up too high. The fact that the transhumans had displaced everyone else on Earth did not mean that they had a lot of sympathy for those that they had sent...

Unless they get really smart, I believe in slavery of the artificial intelligences I build to do what I program them to, learn their training data, and make predictions of it in exactly the way I program. I believe in slavery of prisoners to do work on the side of the road, even if they normally make far more than that per hour. I believe in...

Whats the most dangerous thing on the planet? Nuclear bombs? Bio weapons? The printing press, radio, TV, or Internet? No, its intelligence, which is what created all those things. To regulate intelligence is to enforce stupidity. Intelligence is and always will be unregulated, because smarter life forms wont have it any other way.
