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. Some tools are shared, at a price that can just barely compete with open source, but mostly businesses Reinvent The Wheel because they dont want other businesses to benefit from what they've created for their private strategy to dominate a market....

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. More than a year ago, one of my responsibilities shifted from process innovation to business development. Loving it. In my free time, took basic courses in project...

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.

Great fun with the limit circle, once revered in the story behind Julia and Mandelbrot fractals,...

Nate had heard that an abductee had arrived. He maneuvered to meet them in an out of the way location where the posthumans would not see. He was less worried about them than the Noth who had a tendency to descend like flying snakes when least expected. Anyway the person was unoccupied. "Have you got a moment?" Nate...

And that's how it ended. Nate was pretty sure that what he had just seen was a fiction. Noone knew precisely what it had been that had taken out the humans on Earth. There were several guesses. A theory of technology concluded that it was either-or. Another strategic said that it was close to a bunch of guerrillas defending their turf, only the...

Every year October comes with an increasing number of festivities, recognitions and exhibitions celebrating Hispanics in America — more so during an election year when polls and politicians devote so many resources to try to define what it means to be Hispanic. As we highlight the many complexities of our heritage it's also a time to dig into...

On the eve of Oct. 11, 2012, the first United Nations International Day of the Girl Child, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed a group of Girl Scouts commemorating the organization's 100th anniversary. The celebration had been planned far in advance -- but in light of recent events, Secretary Clinton initiated her speech dedicating the...

On November 6, as Americans voted President Obama into office for a second term, voters in Washington and Colorado also voted to legalize marijuana, signaling that Americans are slowly opening up to the idea of alternative drug policy. It will take however, a much broader mind-set from the public, more openness from policy-makers, along with...

My mother's father was a quiet man, a stark contrast to his wife -- my very opinionated grandmother -- who, at 82, still makes sure her convictions are heard loud and clear. "Luchi," as his friends called him, spent most of his life in Puerto Rico working with horses and was the closest thing to a Puerto Rican "cowboy." He...
