Bank of America, Amazon, MasterCard and PayPal are some of the companies that stopped doing business with Wikileaks.
While it is quite clear that this follows ‘some’ pressure from the US government I do like to point to a more principal issue here.
I believe that it is the right of every person on the planet to have access to all...
Hard to simulate,
but easy to amplify,
my experience of consciousness,

The universe is the set of all permutation,
and combination of abstract information.
I am math. Derive me,

we would have a strange-loop confusing the future you.
But what of the...
The following is crossposted from my blog on writing and format, though it belongs here as much as there. I consider the rant as some notes towards a transhuman language.

I really enjoy my carnal existence; eating, drinking & exercising. But strangely I quite appreciate the idea of living forever - despite all of the negative connotations associated with it - what if this "Polytopia" was to be a hyperspace - kinda like second life, but controlled in the first person by our electrical selves,...
Just a quick thought, I agree with the video series on Spacecollective that in the next ~100 years homo sapiens will be done as a species. By done I mean basically extinct.
