The 'Conscious Pilot' is a new model of the neural correlate of
consciousness (NCC) consistent with the Orch OR model. The basic idea
is that spatiotemporal envelopes of dendritic gamma synchrony move
through the brain's neuronal networks. The movement is sideways to
neurocomputational flow, occurring via dendritic-dendritic gap
junction...
INT. Panel shows avatars for Watch, Castle and Chart. The first one lights up kaleidoscopically, the other two go to blank and a flatline.

Anyone seen Chart? Comms to the ship seem to be down.

I can bring Scope up. What are we looking for?

What you think your eyes see is mostly a memory. People think they're seeing what's in front of their eyes, but the way we think while awake is more like a dream than what's in front of our eyes. I often look straight at something and don't see it because I don't remember it. Next time you see something unlike anything you've seen before, close...
I am looking for recommended sources on Gonzo journalism. I have some sources, some ideas on the topic:
I was supposed to transcribe, the two guys I couldn’t understand were
in some kind of Las Vegas fast-food joint…and after a while, I just said,
‘Well, it sounds to me like they’re saying this,’ so I would type it in. I
had my own...
When I think, study, learn, or even act (or try to), I do so under the pre-supposition that the past - the classical - is better than the modern. In the simplest of explanations, I would argue that modernity is embodied by decadence and stupidity. Of course, this doesn't apply to all, but for the most part, the world in which we move on a daily...
its the silents that get(s) me..
gets to me thats is.
its not quite silence,
its all those, silent minds;
the voices-
words
that die unspoken;
their only friend is Echo.
who's there?
that has a ready

a steadier hear
has never found its ear-

underneath the atrium
she empties her box
contents strewn in the corridor
hiding behind a column
as my ghost wanders
rooms devoid
the collateral damages
of invisible demons
long since left
rotting structures
unaware of their inheritance
a lone rubber boot
the only proof of life
lines echoing stairwells
labyrinthine

I’ve watched last week “ Transcendent Man” - the documentary about Ray Kurzweil, his life and ideas.
For anyone who read the book “The singularity is near” or watched one of his lectures in the recent years there is not much new in the film.
While I’ve got a lot to say about Ray Kurzweil and his work (maybe in another post) I would...
I believe in the importance of using our imaginations in our daily lives and that a highly refined imagination is an incredibly valuable outcome resulting from the daily attendance of ones inner landscape.
By making choices that lay a groundwork for the betterment of ourself, our family, our community and our planet we can build an world in which we can live and thrive.
SYDNEY: It’s not dark matter, multiple universes or weird gravity: the strange deceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft is just waste heat – the trouble is nobody’s looked at it the right way, Portuguese researchers report.
Known as the ‘Pioneer anomaly’, the unexplained deceleration of NASA’s two Pioneer spacecraft, Pioneer 10 and 11...
