I found this and thought I'd share it. Leo Tolstoy “What Is Art?” The art of the future is not the possession of a select minority but a means towards perfection and unity. People talk of the art of the future, meaning by art of the future some especially refined new art which they imagine will be developed out of that exclusive art...

"I have published both fiction and nonfiction books, but finding a publisher for fiction is much more difficult than for nonfiction. More generally, if the ability to find a publisher for nonfiction can be compared to walking across the street, finding a publisher for fiction is like walking from New York to California, backwards.

I've been wondering about mind uploading. If our mind can be fully uploaded to a non-biological operating platform, and we do invent the necessary hardware requirements to house one, what will that machine have to do to convince a user to adopt it? If the subjective experience remains fundamentally private and unique, how could uploading be...

It took hundreds of years past the third world war to finally reach our carrying capacity. It is a state in which we let all go to waste, smothered and drowned in petrochemical...

The culture of environmental sustainability is unstable since it requires energy to be actively diverted to halt the growth of the technosphere. As long as human ingenuity exists to combat the slow retaliation of the biosphere, the technosphere will continue to grow and to consume the native biosphere. At this time practically no pristine...
