It is a victory that you’re seeing me on your browser. I speak to you from high orbit, 22,000 miles above your planet, your planet because I walked away from it rather than admit I was wrong.
You can see me but I can’t see you, we don’t have the two-ways here, but it is beautiful, to hear the voices of those of you who are here. How many...

The press release is in French. I ran it through Altavista Babelfish for crappy English:
EXPANSIONISME - MANIFESTE 4
Paris, 2004 – Caracas, 2007
After the II World war, the compass of the art of avant-garde pointed towards Uruguay and Argentina. After the...
“Imaginations and its power emerge from journeys through the night, from communication that has become impossible in the heart of the closest proximity,
from paths used by dreams to tame the violence of sex and death. It is under the surface of the obvious that imagination draws its energies, from the daily collapsing of past proofs and...
it is is really great that we are able to adapt and make things easier and more efficient for ourselves.
but looking at it form another side we are just lazy.
sometimes i am unsure why i make the choices i make.
If:
Nikola Tesla = wants to stand proudly next to his maker,
then:
Timothy Leary = wants to dethrone God by becoming him (become an evolutionary agent, be the programmer of his own mind and the universe, become immortal).

I have been discovering 8-bit music and "Chiptunes" (music made for the sounds on specific microchips) on the web. There is a musical style, visual aesthetic, and consistent mentality to the whole thing. Also, artists' interests appear to be generational. What I mean is, it seems like the older you are, the older the systems you use to...
7 minutes of Mckenna improv. Required listening!
...it's not outer space, it's not some kind of managed Orwellian collectivist paradise, it's something more profound than that. We are perhaps going to download ourselves into a gold ytterbium cube that we will super-cool and bury a thousand feet beneath Copernicus and there all walk on the...
Is the mind simply an epiphenomenon created by the firing of a lot of neurons in our meat-brain? I do think that what we call the experience of self-awareness, consciousness, sentience or mind is a direct result of (unrelated) neuro-activity in the brain, but that doesn't mean that the phenomenon isn't actually real, or that it necessarily needs...
"The cause which is blocking all progress today is the subtle scepticism which whispers in a million ears that things are not good enough to be worth improving. If the world is good we are revolutionaries, if the world is evil we must be conservatives."
"Every one of the great revolutionists, from Isaiah to Shelley, have been...
The haven all memes depend on reaching is the human mind, but a human mind is itself an artifact created when memes restructure a human brain in order to make it a better habitat for memes. The avenues for entry and departure are modified to suit local conditions, and strengthened by various artificial devices that enhance fidelity and...
Currently I am sitting in an apartment on a sunny day overlooking the river valley in Edmonton, Alberta. On July 19th we begin our trek through the Northern Canada, Alaska and the Arctic Circle that will last for 25 days. We will pass through wild and glacial terrain seeking out change as it is reflexively performed within culture and...
holy shit.
i'm trying to sign up for classes.
it's my senoir year at UCLA.
AND THERE IS NOTHING I WANT TO TAKE.
This is serious.
Outside of my my department (Design|Media Arts) there is nothing i want to learn from this institution. EVERYTHING ACADEMIC SEEMS COMPLETELY IRRELEVENT TO MY LIFE.
What must be understood,...
I get stuck when thinking about my future form and environment, because I am thinking in my current form. My current form has physiological limitations--including my brain's limitations. My limitations make me ask questions, irrelevant ones I think, such as "How/Why/When do I ___?" I say irrelevant, because these questions relate to the...
