Read an interesting piece over the weekend about how we are actually still evolving on a genetic level as a species, despite scientific opinion over the last fifty years claiming the contrary.
Always wondered whether our next evolutionary phase will be to actually move beyond the physical into a more spiritual context...
or maybe that's just...
For this reason string theory is sometimes described as possibly being the "theory of everything" (T.O.E.) or the "ultimate" or "final" theory. These grandiose descriptive terms are meant to signify the deepest possible theory of physics—a theory that underlies all others, one that does not require or even allow for...
This particular post doesn't have anything to do with philosophies or sciences, I just had a question for you all...
If you are really stressed out, what do you do? Do lash out or calm down? Do you do anything at all?
Just some tracks I feel exemplify this idea.
Keep in mind I may add to this.

So it goes this way: two days ago whilst traveling, the car I was traveling in was broken into during the night. Given that we have driven for more than a 1000km and given that I carried with me stuff for the next month, you can imagine the quantity of uselessness that was carried in the car.
We woke up in the morning to find that we have less...
A technocratic society has the goal of:
Producing optimum quality goods and services at the lowest possible energy cost, and distributing the maximum amount of goods and services to everyone.
Our broken economy has so far prevented this from being possible. The constant need for money has forced producers to continually produce poor quality...
In response to Sjef et al.
Commenting on Sjef’s rant about the mediocrity of some of SpaceCollective’s recent content Spaceweaver calls “most of human activity boring and pointless.” This apparent discontent with the current output on the site has started a discussion which prompted several of our core members to stir things up by...
Optimism is a political act.
Entrenched interests use despair, confusion and apathy to prevent change. They encourage modes of thinking which lead us to believe that problems are insolvable, that nothing we do can matter, that the issue is too complex to present even the opportunity for change. It is a long-standing political art to sow the...
This is a comment that grew too long - a continuation of the polylogue following Xárene's post, Social Networking Tools and Our Future Society
It got me thinking about two experiences I've had recently.
Love
The first one involved someone that I met who had just moved to Europe 20 days before from New York. He moved here to be with his...
Although it focuses on individual action (so it kinda opposes to my structuralist views of the social world), I find Goffman's interpretation of the human action quite interesting. Those of you who have read Erving Goffman know exactly how "catchy" his sociology is, and those of you who haven't...well I can tell you this: you don't...
I realize that this is a fantastical idea, but I would love to hear other peoples thoughts and knowledge in pursuit of expanding this idea. Don't be afraid to throw out wild ideas. Shooting for the stars will allow you to hit the moon.
In order for one object to pass through another, all the negative space between the particles of each solid...
