This manifesto is a few years old. In the years since Crystalpunk has organized workshops, and events as well as written a lot of texts and code that hopes to explain the vision. This is still the most basic text Crystalpunk has to explain what we are trying to do and I think it might be of interest to the readers of SpaceCollective. THE...

What is the self to be aware of it? Are the mind and the self the same thing? Does the self exist in the mind? Or is the mind occupying the self? Doesn't the self pertain to our body in its material surroundings? Isn't the self the manifestation of our behaviours which are merely the result of our environment? Makes me think of a 'bad seed' or...

Ah yes, the soul. One of the most difficult aspects of the human being to be defined, and thus confined, into wording understandable by even the most prodigious scientists and philosophers. And yet, millions of people firmly believe in its existence, though there has been little proof in recorded history of empirical evidence suggesting its...

Read an interesting piece over the weekend about how we are actually still evolving on a genetic level as a species, despite scientific opinion over the last fifty years claiming the contrary. Always wondered whether our next evolutionary phase will be to actually move beyond the physical into a more spiritual context... or maybe that's just...

Raymond Tallis Free will is not an illusion The Enlightenment idea of conscious, freely acting individuals is worth defending against those who would reduce freedom to neuroscience "Collectivism sounds close to cultural determinism, which is no great advance on biological or material determinism.

Now, I'm certainly no adherent of astrology, but no one can deny that the moon and the stars have some, if not tiny, effect on the inhabitants of this planet. Just as the great circling rock moves the oceans, it can move us all. It's not that I think that people will go insane during different a full moon nor that a complete lack of moonlight will...

This is probably a question that has been debated on several occasions, but it has hounded me for quite some time now! In your opinion.... What is the definition of love? What is required for love to exist? Personally, I have no short answers for this, and I'm curious to see how other people understand the concept.

For this reason string theory is sometimes described as possibly being the "theory of everything" (T.O.E.) or the "ultimate" or "final" theory. These grandiose descriptive terms are meant to signify the deepest possible theory of physics—a theory that underlies all others, one that does not require or even allow for...

Truth is sacrosanct to the human character. The only way we can build a philosophical construct of our identity is through cornerstones of truth, upon which we build more complex structures of truth for the purposes of explaining our reality. We all share one, indivisible truth - the acceptance of our unique perception. Everyone inately...
