-- It didn’t go wrong, not exactly wrong that is. I mean, c’mon, who could have predicted the consequences of a technology that seemed on face value so straightforward, so logically consistent with what we know, or as it turned out, thought we knew, of the way the world works. The point, you see, is that whilst the tech was...

Economics is based on two concepts; the first is the idea of the incentive, and the second (which is of greater relevance to the post) is utility. Demand for commodities, services, capital etc are all essentially derived from the desire for satisfaction and this fact justifies the placing of ‘utility’ in the centre of the structure of...

In Buddhist philosophy, desire and mental attachment are what keeps you stuck here on Earth, but I have a much easier way to explain it. There are many philosophies I think are mostly true. Anyone can do this. In 2002 for a few months, I had it a small amount, compared to most people who rarely have it enough to notice it exists. Then because...

For whatever reason, I got to go to a pre-screening of the movie Limitless, and cognitive enhancement is central to the plot. Without revealing to much, the film is about a man who finds a drug that makes him incredibly smart and then some shenanigans happen. The science in the film is nonexistent, but this wont stop me from trying: The Science...

Microsoft seem to be using acoustics to pinpoint trigger points available in the human frame. Just passing on the latest bloggins. I'm learning not to be too devise-centric in my quest these days but this one is pretty interesting. It moves away from using exterior technology like it is an animal on a leash and goes back to using our body...

Going to the heart of how we define our interactions as a species, it may be instructive to wash away the distracting and conflicting details of some modern economic teaching, and instead refocus on the most basic, fundamental truths that have proven sound through all time and experience. These powerful facts do not demand a degree, or even...

I usually read books on Science as if they were poetry. For instance, 'The Black Hole War' by Leonard Susskind is an inspiring plot, dramatic and metaphysical as well as, obviously, scientific. I don't know if the Three/3 in the actual trend of 'the third culture' really convinces me. Probably One/1 is more appropriate as the key point in the...

Could Einstein's Theory of Relativity be slipping into the past as a discredited misunderstanding? And could it be replaced with an intuitive and simplified scientific truth that was discovered over a century ago? A major turning point in the public’s understanding of science came about a century ago, with the introduction of Einstein’s...

The answer to the introduction: Everything. I am the living reflection of the sum of Everything that I have ever felt. That is who I am. I am Everything. What I seek to understand: Everything.

While doing some research for a project I stumbled upon this book and thought I'd quickly share some excerpts: The difficulty lies in the evolutionary process itself. Empathic consciousness has grown slowly over the 175,000 years of human history. It has sometimes flourished, only to recede for long periods of time. Its progress has been...

If a business causes a problem, they should not get to profit from it. They should have to pay to solve the problem completely. This problem is not solved. This is a typical example: Someone is losing their house. Why are you losing your house? Because I can't make the payments. Why can't you make the payments? Because I lost my job. Why did...
