Prevailproject The Prevail Project is aimed at becoming the global gathering place for those coming together in novel ways to imagine – and then create – a human future we can thrive in, rather than simply reacting to technologies transforming what it means to be human. Thought leaders in the field – including Bruce Sterling,…

What is most interesting is the intense hatred and prejudice of critics of UBI. It is an irrational hatred. BIEN If you have any comments please email me Check out my Disparity SCOOP.IT, respectively my Oil Versus SSPS SCOOT.IT.

The problem with post-industrial society is that it is a shrinking society. And shrinking collective affluence makes everyone nervous, or neurotic. The human species had a party, and the party cake was oil. Oil and fossil fuels allowed humanity an affluence greatly at odds with the squallor that came before, and now this stage of…

By HERBERT J. GANS Published: November 24, 2011 AMERICA, like other modern countries, has always had some surplus workers – people ready to work but jobless for extended periods because the “job creators,” private and public, have been unable or unwilling to create sufficient jobs. When the number of surplus workers rose sharply, the country…

By Sasha Mitchell. “Damaged, cyberpunk heroine”, “bisexual cyberpunk avenger”, “horny, cyberpunk hacker”… these are your Google results for Lisbeth + Salander + Cyberpunk, as featured in film reviews courtesy of Movieline, Telegraph, and the increasingly horny and irrelevant Rolling Stone (not a fan of the latter, sue me.) But I am a fan of la…

The International Raelian Movement might be the world’s most science-fictional religion — at the very least, they’re up there with Scientology. Their founder claims he met the aliens who created the human race, and their main ritual involves sending your DNA to an alien planet. The group announced they cloned a human baby in 2002….

Worldwide governments are weak and unable to do what is needed to ascertain long term sustainability of our high-demand bloated populations. The conclusion is ‘apart from some minor rounding errors such as having or not having a democracy’, the problems we see in the EU, China, the US, everywhere are systemic. Oil and other fossil…

A space-based solar power (SSP) system capable of meeting the energy needs of millions of people could be “deployed within a decade using technologies that are today in the laboratory,” says John C. Mankins, a former manager of the Advanced Concepts Studies Office of Space Flight for NASA and widely considered one of the world’s…

Our western civilizations are bleeding money on “end of life care”. Because that’s what it is. Nearly everyone costs collective medical resources and insurances a fortune in the last years (and often the last few months) of life. We need to change this. The only way to do this is develop a way to keep…

Vandaag heeft BREIN in de rechtbank te Den Haag een circus opgevoerd met als doel The Pirate Bay te censureren. Nu heeft u al jaren verhalen mogen lezen, die wat betreft diepgang vrijwel allen ten faveure van BREIN zijn opgesteld. Helaas ging zelfs XS4ALL/Ziggo vandaag mee in de stroomversnelling van de Amerikaanse auteursrechtmonopolisten. Omdat u…

On Monday, the National Space Society (NSS) will present findings from a bombshell new report by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA). You’re hearing about this here first. (Full disclosure: I’m a member of the NSS board of directors.) Some background: We are running out of energy. By 2030–40, the projected annual electrical energy consumption…

Amy Schalet challenges cultural freeze on teen sexuality BY DOUG IRELAND If sex, as the playwright and cartoonist Jules Feiffer has observed, is still America’s dirty little secret decades after the so-called “sexual revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s, there is no topic on which a cultural consensus of omerta reigns more stiflingly than that…

About eight years ago, there was frenzied and furious talk about WMDs, or weapons of mass destruction. Both the frenzy and the fury came from President George W. Bush and his administration, prior to the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003 and soon thereafter. The president’s poll ratings had soared in the aftermath of…
