"The moral rejection of doping cannot be explained by that fact that someone simply broke a rule or that it may be unhealthy. The moralisation of the debate is based on a strange understanding of ‘natural’ performance. Considering that human performance – and human life in general – is all about continuously going beyond natural...
funny how naive i was to think that by changing environemnts I could change the way people think. And so naive of me to think everything is black and white. but now, i realize how relevent artificiality and misinterpretation is in my life. irony of being immersed in nature and beauty tangiblity, but living like robots. programmed to work, do what...

the set-up
The space colony was launched in 2097 by a group of private investors looking to escape from the uber-conservative politicians on earth. As more and more ecological disasters occurred in the early half of the 21st century, earth’s leaders moved to quickly advance their technologies. But, instead of using technology to promote a...
This space habitat was started as an alternative culture in opposition to the growing conservatives who are promoting a sterile earth. The group is not opposed to technology; rather they embrace it as a way to promote healthy environments. They are opposed to the way in which technology is used on earth as a constant enemy to the ecology. The...
Progress Report 847F
The new section of the station should be opening soon. The main growth has been completed. We will continue checks to determine when the inner layer of processing cells has developed enough to support life. These new developments are very exciting for me and everyone on the growth crew. This is the fastest we have ever...

Traveling with no destination;
Pointing out a point in space. How do you decide where is the best place to start from? The search for a destination starts with the search of a purpose. For; not just going but going somewhere and getting somewhere. This is a search for a pivot to say there I am going there and knowing there you are there when...

The object created quite a stir it was believed that no living object could survive with out the protection of an atmosphere but this object...
It was harder than I thought... there is NO convenient day to be blind, even in one eye. But I finally managed to put the eye patch on this morning.
A sense of our surrounding space, depth, distance, and perspective is very crucial to our sanity.

Of course the first thing that was out of place was the rock, which even with the lopsided throw, missed my head by half an inch. The poor old guy just didn’t know what he’d do with himself now, and, an old man, he was probably just scared. Just the same, a group of us went down there to calm him down. The other residents just stared out 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 prevailing sense of diminished subjectivity is underwritten by a distinct code about the workings of human behaviour and personhood. Every culture provides a set of ideas and beliefs about the nature of human beings and what constitutes their personhood. Our ideas about what we can expect from one another, how we handle uncertainty and...
We have an urge to build. Nature is treated as a side-order, becoming an attraction and a marketing tool. At one point we came from nature, now we package and sell what is left of it in holiday safari trips. Why do we disregard nature as a habitat for humans and immediately build? Why should nature be reduced to symbolism, poetics and abstraction...
