There is the normal 2×2 method of predicting future scenario trends, where the futurist or model maker produces four distinctive different scenarios emphasizing a range of possibilities. I use a variant on that, which I would label the K model or K rozette. I take some inspiration from the de Bono thinking hats clearly (sighs…

I am sorry but that’s just what it is. The president who may have pushed western civilization into irreversible decline and collapse.

I confess, I was a bit overly smitten with the Zeitgeist movement a while ago, but I have become disillusioned with them – I met them and they are so grass-roots they qualify as a garden variety weed. Here are some vids on the Technocratic movement and it sounds pretty impressive. Great analysis, sounds competent….

This insanity has to stop. nexum -i n. [an arrangement by which a debtor pledged his liberty as security for debt].

The major. What an asshole.

Watching a torrent download right now. The compelling argument for nootropics is all over this movie. Also the argument that higher primates (and ceteceans, or even some birds) be recognized as conscious, self-aware and capable of the same intense suffering as human beings. Email me for a dropbox link, or go see it in the…

Now that’s versatile!

I played some Darkspore on steam. It is a bit hysterically colourful at first but after a few levels the shape tweaking is fairly nice. It actually is an MMO. It’s quite an easy hack & slash with fascinating riches of customization. Scenery and background is a flat surface which is the typical Blizzardine maze…

Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from women’s bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow. However, experiments…

A private European organization has a proposal for creating 100-300 kilometer high multipurpose towers. The towers would be composed of moveable lighter-than-air rings stacked upon each other [ehhhm….balloons]. Modules would be added from the bottom up and filled with a light gas. Shuttles within the shaft could take people and payloads to the top, slowly…

Boohoo bad fat boy. And you’ll lose more unless you get of your ass. Better trade in your dollars before you lose it all.

Botgirl is sow funny.

I have the book, it’s great.

The Rev Klaas Hendrikse can offer his congregation little hope of life after death, and he’s not the sort of man to sugar the pill. An imposing figure in black robes and white clerical collar, Mr Hendrikse presides over the Sunday service at the Exodus Church in Gorinchem, central Holland. It is part of the…

..since it won’t spend a penny on anything else, right? No I am not advocating a terrorist attack. I am advocating something else entirely. Thanks Dan.
