More Singularity Critiques
Remember what I said yesterday about the Google-Plex developing sentience? It’s not just conspiracy ranting y’know!: In engineering terms, it is easy to see qualitative similarities between the human brain and the internet’s complex network of nodes, as they both hold, process, recall and transmit information. “The internet behaves a fair bit like a mind,” says [...]
Singularity Stuff
Check out this interview of the 1st Apostle of the Singularity, Ray Kurzweil, as he says the event will occur by 2040.Kurzweil Interview on VBS.TV I think we have to get by the End of the Age Mayan Calendar change-over in 2012 first Ray. Or is it the Rapture? I can’t tell which, there’s so [...]
Thunderbolts on rocky, wet planets and how the Fermi Paradox is moot
Thunderbolts and rocky, wet planets: A recent ESO (European Southern Observatory) press release announced that the “lightest exoplanet” ever discovered is orbiting a nearby red dwarf star. The planet has less than twice the mass of the Earth, and its “year” is about three days long. It is, “very likely, a rocky planet.” Another planet [...]
NWO Biowar and long range alien detection
Bio-war, or nature? On 23 rd April 2009 the world began to become aware of a very strange new version of swine flu H1N1 in Mexico with limited cases in Texas and California. By the morning of the 24th of April, we began to hear that there were hundreds of sick and 20 or so [...]
History Lessons
A history lesson here: Prof. Panarin is a former KGB analyst and a Russian professor of political science, Dean of the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs Diplomatic Academy in Moscow and author of several books on geopolitics. Thus one can hardly call him a fruitcake. Actually, he first made this prediction not after the economic [...]
Rings of the Universe
In spite of all our travails on this small, blue water world in this huge daunting Universe, nature shows us beauty everywhere: Cassini’s continued mission Hat Tip ____________________________ The rings of Jupiter, as explained by Stephen Smith of Thunderbolts.info: Conventional theories assume that the universe is electrically neutral, so when observational evidence confirms electrically active [...]
The National Security State, UFOs and The Thing We Dare Not Name
A quote from the blog, CiteLibre: “We think we’re Luke Skywalker,” says a friend of mine, “when we’re actually Darth Vader.” America is a country with a bad conscience, nominally a republic and free society, but in reality an empire and oligarchy, vaguely aware of its own oppression, within and without. I have used the [...]
Political Paroxyms
St. Ronnie Raygun must be having wet-dreams in his grave over this one: US aerospace mammoth Boeing has made a bold announcement, saying that it will “transform naval warfare in the next decade” by developing powerful warship raygun turrets able to blast enemy missiles and aircraft out of the sky from afar. The arms globocorp [...]
Paddling Against the Meme-Stream
From Thunderbolts.info: According to conventional cosmological theories, black holes are formed when a star with a mass approximately five times that of our sun uses up its thermonuclear fuel and collapses under the force of its own gravity. Because the equations that describe gravity can be manipulated in irrational ways, some solutions imply that such [...]
Uncle Seth’s “Cult of SETI”
After reading Paul Gilster’s post today on Centauri Dreams, I felt I had to blow off some steam and out of respect for Paul at the risk of getting carried away with myself, I decided to write a little piece here concerning Seth Shostak’s op-ed in the New York Times instead of commenting there. Here’s [...]
