Adolf Loos' Ornament and Crime holds a favourite ammunition of mine in defense of immateriality: I have therefore evolved the following maxim, and pronounce it to the world: the evolution of culture marches with the elimination of ornament from useful objects. How would I define what ornament is today? Ornament, a constant in decoration culture,...

To imagine: in a few years we'll have people regularly living and working on the moon. And, someday, hopefully not too far off, the possibility of humans living on more than one planet for the first time in this history... how far we've come for monkeys with hats.

Evolutionary biologist Neil Shubin writes: "Within each of us — our skeletons, our behavior, and deep within our DNA — lurks our distant past. Make the relevant comparisons and we find that our hands resemble fossil fish fins, our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes look and function...

I keep driving around and looking at all the advertisements everywhere. And they are everywhere. Billboards, signs, bumper stickers, benches, bus shelters, buildings, cars, trucks, people. Driving through any neighborhood I'm instantly immersed in whatever is popular or should be popular there--maybe twenty years ago. That's perhaps the most...

This all is out of something I wrote to myself and forgot about. I've had sitting around for ages in some file called notes.txt that I just rediscovered recently. I added a bit just now for clarity, and a couple more quotes, but other than that here it is: ---------------------------------------------------------- Chance gave us humans the...

Yes, I do believe that true democracy is possible, but only now: trough internet, it's finally possible to include all opinions in a ruling process, and to gather all the votes from general public almost instantly. Today's democracy is a mockery: U vote for people based on their's election video and some rumors you hear (probably created by...

Nary a post goes by when I don't feel compelled to share a relevant book. I'd like to propose a collective recommended reading list, and in beginning this list I'll paraphrase the first page of my first recommendation. It's from a book called "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Many people, when they see an immense...

What Hope for real Change in America? "With slogans promising Hope, Belief and Change, there is a surge of excitement around the US presidential primaries. But can anybody tell us what the Obama-Clinton contest is about?" "Search high and low for the candidates’ clear political positions and principles, and if you find any do...

This program is still full of bugs. Though it is written in Java it appears to work only on certain windows machines. The major improvement of this release is that it opens with a list of commands printed on the screen ( which can be turned on and off by pressing '/' or '?' ). Audio, Video, modes have been disabled in this version because they...

"The big demonstrations in London and Washington against the US attack on Iraq a few years ago offer an exemplary case of this strange symbiotic relationship between power and resistance. Their paradoxical outcome was that both sides were satisfied. The protesters saved their beautiful souls: they made it clear that they don’t agree with...
