recently i have found some articles on the concept of "Singularity" -- the idea that at a certain time humans and machines will coalesce in to a singular property. Some ideas claim that this will happen at some time in the 2020ish range-- at least that's all I've seen so far. after i had read these articles i began to think....
Something that has continually interested me is the process of creating models that "simulate" some facet of nature. For a recent class, I created a simple model of a phenomenon that I experience nearly every day as a college student where one student begins to pack up and others follow, creating a positive-feedback loop that causes more...

We all share one, indivisible truth - the acceptance of our unique perception. Everyone inately...

What might have baffled us once, the question of "saving the world," is now a non-issue; we know that we care only about people of selected qualities, namely matched intelligence, strength and character of the highest order. And with that, we do what writers do: appeal to those who aren't yet destroyed to wait out the end of humanity,...
It would be far easier and would require less energy to build new, efficient cities than to attempt to update and solve the problems of the old ones. Future By Design proposes a city that would use the most sophisticated available resources and construction techniques. Its geometrically elegant and efficient circular arrangement will be surrounded...

Suffering makes life seem
dismal and suspect.
But I won't accept that.
No, I won't accept that.
Is that which is indispensable to life
