Dear Internet, I have no idea what I am about to say. So bear with me. ... I bet that's bare with me... I'd better leave the question rather than finding an answer the readers will think I knew both. Even those who know a lie will think I was correct Muwahahahahaha!
However, I'd like to give you notice of the fact that I now have a phone friendly version of my blog running in a neat all white alternative. I thought it was pretty Ok. So I was thinking, about fringe science and future thoughts. and other than recommending that you check out Ray Kurzweil's 2009 documentary about his life and it's relation to his idea of the technological singularity concept. Transcendent Man(which is on Netflix, which by the way I linked to I couldn't find anything on the legality of that I'll let time heal that wound. I'm really enjoying this spontaneity concept... it has more potential for adventure. In it's ways.) Something I would like to spend some of my time and well earned frustration on is ranting about common held scientifically inaccurate beliefs which help fuel some well structured philosophical houses of cards. The problem I find with philosophy, is that it ignores what of the world is accessible to define the inaccessible. The Polymaths are long dead, and the thinkers have divided into schools of thought which do not act cohesively or together. You cannot understand the world, if you devote your life to the understanding of only one concept. It would be better to be a well versed fool, than a genius in an era that does not need your understanding. I don't mean to advertise that I personally agree with 100% of myself to what Ray Kurzweil says... however I think that that his ideas on the philosophy of invention are very common sense, you have to stick your neck out to get your head chopped off in the first place kind of stuff. About the pros of risking losing one's head I suppose. Rather than the more obvious cons. Of-course I mean this all metaphorically. Jaque Fresco, Nikolai Tesla, Tycho Brahe, Nicholas Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, Galliei Galileo, Johanes Kepler these people thought about the future. They didn't concern themselves with the limitations of the present, the present is the consequences for the past, the future is the consequences of the present, so when we manipulate the present we should do so in the mindfulness of the future, not the in knee-jerk reaction to the past. But that is my rant about dead scientists. to some extent, but only mostly dead. However. It's too damn hot, My SNES is now in full repair so it and a high velocity fan keep me busy a lot these days. 'Illusions of Gaia' all the way.
I'll get back to ranting here later tonight hopefully. I'd like to spend a little time catching up on what Hanson Robotics has been up too. As well as visit a bit on What Nasa will be doing in the short term that might be exciting.
Until I do however, I suppose I won't have yet.
