Space Time Fractal Quine A quine is anything which outputs itself. It normally means a software that outputs its own source code, which can then be used to generate that software, but I mean it more generally. A fractal is something which contains itself, usually multiple times. Since the universe is defined as everything that exists, that...

In their 1863 letter to fellow financial power brokers, the Rothschild Brothers of London wrote that the few people who understand the financial system are either so caught up in its profits or so dependent on the lifestyle they enjoy from it that they won’t do anything to change it. Then they said that the rest of the people aren’t even aware...

What is so peculiar, even curious in a strange sense, concerning the current events of global unrest is not the actuality of the events themselves but the fact that these events do not coalesce (as of yet that is) around a particular and immediately recognizable leader or agenda. In fact to a very large extent it could be called a non-prophet...

Over the last weekend I attended 2 conferences in NY, one was Contact (which was a great event) followed by MetaCurrency project meeting. In both events attended a representative from OWS.

CEO is the new word that means master. Its the person who owns the business that tells the slaves what to do. But the slaves can choose from many masters, so no master owns them. They can slave to walmart, burger king, a gas station, or many others. So how can they be a slave if they can choose not to obey the commands of any specific...

Everywhere I look I see zombies--massive hoards of mindless humans, blindly following their subconscious need to infect the minds of healthy beings and consume the only thing essential to thought: their brains. When my friends play zombie games on xbox, it scares me to think that they don't realize the underlying message.

Summary: Society seems to be forfeiting sanity when a side-effect of the denial of death brings a spirit back to settle the score, and both Stone, a transhuman researcher, and Park, a wrongly convicted undercover operative, must solve the mystery before the struggle for dominance falls to the supernatural. "They're breaking into the...

Starting from the need to agree on a list of demands, the Wall Street protests have formed their own government. They call it a "General Assembly".

This weekend I experienced a snowcrash; a moment where the seemingly disparate pieces of information floating in my head came together. A synapse fired, a new connection was made, and I was brought to a new level of consciousness, a new way of seeing the world.
