I have been thinking about the goals of this website. Are we trying to create a heaven in space? This would seem to me to be a worthy goal, although we as a species have made a pretty miserable job of making any sort of heaven on earth. This seems to be the achievement of certain individuals, some of whom we may have met or read about and...

Are we Cultural Creatives? Not to generalize, but I do get that feeling around here. It's a good feeling. Cultural Creative. I like the sound of it! I first encountered this term when I took one of those online quizzes that my friends were all taking (we are so interested in forming our identities from other people's ideas), What Is Your World...

The following is a journal type entry so please excuse the poor writing. there is so much complexness in every detail about everyday it is funny to try to recall and focus on every aspect. there is enough to keep the outer layer of the mind and thought processes occupied. I have been realizing lately that it is possible to employ inner layers...

Do you consider yourself a "visual" person? The FM 100 Hue Test puts forward a simple way of testing your color vision. Arrange the colored squares according to hue. The instructions are simple enough, but the test is tricky. I spent a good ten minutes working on this one, and got a bit of a headache as well. My results... I'm...

Most of you have probably run across this, but I still think its very interesting. I'm a musicology student, so this type of research (especially when referencing Greek music) is really interesting to me. Anyways, here is the link:

We looked through the door and saw composers writing music, musicians rehearsing, and for some reason there was a banker(?) in the room. Now, since composers like John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Karlheinz Stockhausen, etc, the doors have been thrown wide open. We walked into the room apprehensively though. We watched (and perhaps talked) to the...

I really enjoy my carnal existence; eating, drinking & exercising. But strangely I quite appreciate the idea of living forever - despite all of the negative connotations associated with it - what if this "Polytopia" was to be a hyperspace - kinda like second life, but controlled in the first person by our electrical selves,...

Life is about experiencing. There is no one in your life more central as a character than yourself. Therefore, I decided that experiential protagonism is the way forward. What is it? To me it is the essense of life as a living, breathing human being. Every day we interact, learn, teach, experience. From these experiences we grow. Central to this...
