Love One Another Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a...

The Large Hadron Collider is finally turning on. A quick step backwards: the LHC is particle accelerator, the largest of its kind, underwritten by all the wild money in science, a ringed tunnel some 27 kilometers long, deep underground, crossing the French-Swiss border at four points. It's been over twenty years in the making and has...

That's right, I said it. I have no problem with the investigation of self for the betterment of self, but generally all 'exploring inner space' means is you are just being useless, or producing useless artifacts. What's the real world use of your 'exploration'? How is it improving you or driving the advancement of mankind? It seems to me that...

I had an interview and some artworks published in Luminous Magazine Issue #2 recently, here is the last question and my answer to it: You have stated that you believe art will save the world.

Everything is real but the narrative makes the difference. “We belong to a history that runs in the present. This is a fantastic thing!

Dream are cool. have you heard of lucid dreaming? It's when you become aware that you are dreaming and are able to control it. I have only experienced this twice in my life when I was much younger, around age 10 or so.

We are, as specie, vastly underestimating the speed with which we are approaching the moment of singularity. Though it is true that most of us have heard about or are involved, to this or that extent, with the coming technological singularity, it is also true that the vast majority of those involved are underestimating the immensity of the change...
