People are quick to forget that the human mind is a firewall in computing environments. A car that can be remotely turned off by satellite signal is not a car with which I would want to share the road. Process automation will probably creat

I consider all distinguishing characteristics between people or groups of people to be projections utilized by human minds to motivate and bring forth highly-ritualized purifying violence, which ranges in intensity from inconsequential name

Perhaps divine retribution is a better explanation than ritual sacrifice in theocratic regimes, in the case that a god or a group of gods require the death of the mortal body so the soul can face metaphysical justice for Earthly sin. Howeve

MIT developed a molten glass extruder recently although I'm not sure it can do borosilicate: http://matter.media.mit.edu/environments/details/glass-ii I am interested in the amount of specialized glasswork re

What about individuals who prefer tent dwelling and regular work (paid and volunteer) but eschew both illegal drug use and unemployment? I have a tent I could call a home but am not entirely comfortable crashing wherever I can, although gen

Excellent question. I think there's no philosophy to discuss, it is simply, "That person is driving a car in their clothes."

It's the cargo cult of Western Civilization, when Plato, Aristotle, Greece, and Rome are taught. Universities and teachers invoke the grandeur and largesse of ancient empires and philosophers, in the hope that the future will be more l

I've known one U.S. karoshi. Beyond that, I know maybe four or five individuals, myself included, in private and public sector U.S. roles, who have overwork habits: cigarettes and/or coffee, fasting diets, sleeplessness, social is

I agree with the second statement. As for the first one, there's some other stuff in there too: Mythologies, religions, Foucault, philosophy of science. Why some wear t-shirts and eschew the automobile, while others drive cars in grass

Pre-undergraduate education is nothing like the University level. Some of the students have never been in a laboratory, some of them didn't have user-serviceable cars or bicycles or computers, even those who "have coded" migh

It used to be said that certain kings or personages were made of glass and that if you touched them, they would shatter and the kingdom would fall. Much like a regular private hot bath, I fail to see the value of a Glass King. Once I visite

I wonder what the competing groups were eating. Also a very standard practice to replace the Conquered's diet with that of the Conquerors.

I think it's "Survival of the Fittest Ecosystem," actually. So not like, "Humans are fittest," but instead, "Human eating corn cow sheep soy etc. while building machines is fittest"

It's all about self-refueling self-replicating water-burning probes. Map the Oort Cloud like that and you'll make a penny!!

Reminding me that a cornerstone of my childhood was a series of cinematic figurine advertisements cribbed from one of Kurosawa's weaker pictures doesn't heal the wounds any faster.
