I had these thoughts and wrote them down a while back, emailing them to my friend. Have recently dug it up and was rethinking them. The machine of a human being is traveling through time and space. It is completely capable of operating in the mode of self learning autopilot. It is like a tractor that plows through everything. We are the...

recently i have found some articles on the concept of "Singularity" -- the idea that at a certain time humans and machines will coalesce in to a singular property. Some ideas claim that this will happen at some time in the 2020ish range-- at least that's all I've seen so far. after i had read these articles i began to think....

A review of The Great Disruption by Zaki Laïdi “Expert consensus, rather than public consensus, underpins today’s political outlook” "... A political drama in which the tension is between the expert and the decision-maker has little room for ordinary people. Instead, the public is expected simply to accept and live with the...

I’ve seen more lately. I imagine some K-Mart shopper tossing nonchalantly the plastic wrapper from a pack of menthols into the air while walking away from the automatic doors. Before it reaches the ground some chemical or biblical shift has occurred, creating conglomerates of cells for feathers, knobby legs & feet, beady eyes...

Is the singularity at the center of a black hole a natural divide by zero error? Is it really infinitely dense? What about the loss of information? The problems caused by math's inability to deal with the concept of infinity are mounting. You've probably seen the "proof" that 1 = 2, and the proof that there are an infinite number...

A typical human brain has about 100 billion neurons, and each on average has about seven thousand synapses connecting to other neurons. The neurons receive impulses, and upon reaching a threshold level of synaptic activity, will pass on an impulse to other neurons along it's path. Our consciousness stems from the collective organization of the...

A Boltzmann brain is a hypothesized self-aware entity which arises due to random fluctuations out of some future state of chaos. The idea is named for physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, who had advanced an idea that the known universe arose as a random fluctuation, similar to process through which Boltzmann brains might arise. Boltzmann brains are...

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...

Ubiquitous Habitats hold a minimum of two criteria: 1. Every point in space, through kinesthetic instigation, is a possibility for becoming a 'site.' 2. Every site or 'tentative holding space' (Gins and Arakawa) provides limitless potential for the organism on/within that site. Applying this concept to architecture creates shapeless...
