I am often struck with the absurdity of certain academic pursuits. For instance, when I encounter natural beauty I usually think how amusing it would be to model the growth of plants. I then realize that this reality is already rendered perfectly (or as perfectly as the limited senses can convey) for me right now, why would I want anything less?...

In virtual universes we may just feel and decide in a totally free will condition, if we have control over the prearranged criteria of the choice of the information presented to you. If you are able to shape your universe you are able to really influence the world around you. You create and draw the vision of the world you want and may even...

I never have maintained any sort of journal before but, having played devil's advocate to myself for nearly a lifetime and a half, i'm glad to spill out of my static centrifuge or at least to expand it's trajectory into a new maddening cycle. I'd feel personally wounded were I...

Although it focuses on individual action (so it kinda opposes to my structuralist views of the social world), I find Goffman's interpretation of the human action quite interesting.
