Kevin Kelly 'An ultimate simulation needs an ultimate computer, and the new science of digitalism says that the universe itself is the ultimate computer — actually the only computer. Further, it says, all the computation of the human world, especially our puny little PCs, merely piggybacks on cycles of the great computer. Weaving together the...

Seems that our evolution dictates our necessities and behaviors and thereby defines what space is necessary to house us and our actions. This being said, now with the internet and computers being part of our daily routine our behaviors are changing and will once again redefine space. (future prediction, with touch screens and increasingly bad...

Recently I had the thought: Perhaps there are just too many people on the planet to sustain a good life for individuals? Now, this was an interesting moment for me. The 'overpopulation' thesis is neither original nor novel, and arriving at this as a personal insight made me question the assumed lack of value in having unoriginal thoughts. I...

What if the revolution doesn't need a name? Or leaders? Or a formal agenda? The most wonderful thought could be this: shit happens. Perhaps this is a uniquely Australian idiom, perhaps not - and I don't wish to offend with profanity, we Australians swear a lot, and this phrase has even been used by a Parliamentarian in a memorable impromptu...

"Progress is the realization of Utopias." -Oscar Wilde I have never ever held any 'pay' memberships other than the gym. Professional memberships that cost $$$ like AIA, IDSA, ASID or AIGA--never thought about it. Super Pro memberships that cost $$$$ like ACM--never ever thought about it. Why? I don't see the point of joining the...

From reddit: Gossip about celebrities exists for the same reason religion exists - because it is a very powerful meme. Humans evolved to fit about 150 people into their sphere-of-people-they-care-about (or monkeysphere if you're familiar with that article), and by gossiping about those people with others the people in a community are able to...

It's a great feeling knowing that you can still surprise yourself. I recently made a comment where I said something that I don't necessarily regret, but something that remains in my shadow of uncertainty. I don't write too often but when I do it's usually a constant flow of ideas, only stopping to try to say something ever so eloquently about...

At the end of every school semester our teachers ask us to fill in a teacher/course evaluation. I was so inclined to write more than what was optional and will be handing the following in anonymously sometime this week. I thought it would be a good idea to share it here to at least gain some criticism. And to give you a better idea of it all,...
