This information about hair has been hidden from the public since the Viet Nam War . Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and/or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in…

(Source) We humans are builders. One of the ways we leave a mark on the universe is by creating massive structures that show that some opposable digits have been here. So when things get tough, like due to an economic meltdown or a cascading environmental crisis, what can we do but build? Here are 10…

(By John Shirley) With everything rolling towards the abyss, our only hope for a bright future seems to be the Singularity, a technological transformation of what it means to be human. But in a talk for TEDx Brussels, science fiction and horror writer John Shirley argues that there are really two Singularities — and yes,…

Printing human replacement parts as a garage/boutique industry. Stage one (3? years away) Printing medium size periferal bones and simple tissues such as bladders with compatible rejection spectra and implanting them in mostly anyone who can afford this. We are almost there. Stage one (6? years away) Larger muscle groups, regeneration scaffold for organ fields…

An Italian radio program’s story about Iceland’s on-going revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world. We may remember that at the start of the 2008 financial crisis, Iceland literally went bankrupt. The reasons were mentioned only in passing, and since then, this little-known member…

So what is “happening”? It is fairly difficult to explain or put in words, “what is happening” because new things are happening. How do you describe new things in simple words that make sense? But let me give it a try. Let me go back a century – in the old days america was a…

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…
