Beyond 3000.

Scientists have developed a very primative version of the brain machine interface seen in ghost in the shell. No HUD, or external memory............ yet.

Thorium the less destructive counsin of Uranium. The original nuclear fuel but abandoned in favour of the more anti-japanese properties of uranium during the nuclear arms race era is making a come back. More abundant, less radioactive wastes and non-weapon's grade.

home sweet HOME

Some epic cinematography from Yann Arthus-Bertrand gives us a different perspective that lays bare the brutal consequences of our presence. We are cutting and burning down forests, the lungs of earth. Through non-sustainable farming practices we exhaust fresh water, earth's blood that all living organisms rely on. Mines like cavities eroding down into earth. Draining and burning oil, the very essence of earth. We can choose to be an infestation or live symbiotically with this living, breathing organism we call HOME.

The New Biology

This is an excellent follow up to - As Above So Below, An Introduction To Fractal Evolution Part-1 Part one of this lecture I believe covers the same concepts as that lecture. This Follows up with a next level concept of self recognition through perception of self as a reflection of the environment.

"By Bruce Lipton Recent advances in cellular science are heralding an important evolutionary turning point. For almost fifty years we have held the illusion that our health and fate were pre-programmed in our genes, a concept referred to as genetic determinacy. Though mass consciousness is currently imbued with the belief that the character of one's life is genetically predetermined, a radically new understanding is unfolding at the leading edge of science. Cellular biologists now recognize that the environment, the external universe and our internal physiology, and more importantly, our perception of the environment, directly controls the activity of our genes. This video will broadly review the molecular mechanisms by which environmental awareness interfaces genetic regulation and guides organismal evolution."

Time Indifference

Photographer James Balog shares new image sequences from the Extreme Ice Survey, a network of time-lapse cameras recording glaciers receding at an alarming rate, some of the most vivid evidence yet of climate change.

Fractal Geology

Randall Carlson presents an interesting argument on Fractal Geology, Scale indifference & Ice-Age cycles.

DNA

A comprehensive history of DNA science - from the discovery of the double helix structure to the mapping of the human genome to the latest genetic research. This comprehensive 5 part documentary shows an insight into the history of DNA science and the pseudo space race backdrop it was, and still is set against. A great insight into the implications of understanding the human genome, from the possible revolutionary benefits to the dark underlying consequences of human genetics.

Unnatural Selection

This explosive exposé reveals what the biotech industry doesn't want you to know - how industry manipulation and political collusion, not sound science, allow dangerous genetically engineered food into your daily diet. Company research is rigged, alarming evidence of health dangers is covered up, and intense political pressure applied.

Approach of an Event Horizon

During my latest round of research I came across these 2 TED lectures that I believe are must see. That is, if your into Machine Intelligence and Genetics. Even so, if this sounds a little over your head, I think each genre will produce revolutions unlike anything we have see before. On the verge of endowing ourselves with gods power, the true dilemmas we will face as a human race seem years away to the sheep herds of scociety. When in fact we are possibly only a decade away from the greatest challenges we have ever faced."We are playing a dangerous experiment with this planet" and its up to us to make it Heaven or Hell. You cannot see past the event horizon, but your actions are what make it. What ever the Event Horizon may be, we are part of it. Inform your self, and free your mind. You were endowed with a self training brain, so use it!

Jeff Hawkins: Brain science is about change computing

Jeff Hawkins urges us to take a new look at the brain -- to see it not as a fast processor, but as a memory system that stores and plays back experiences to help us predict, intelligently, what will happen next.

Here is a link to a 1hr in depth explanation of the HTM model.

Craig Venter: On the verge of creating synthetic life

"Can we create new life out of our digital universe?" asks Craig Venter. And his answer is, yes, and pretty soon. He walks the TED2008 audience through his latest research into "fourth-generation fuels" -- biologically created fuels with CO2 as their feedstock. His talk covers the details of creating brand-new chromosomes using digital technology, the reasons why we would want to do this, and the bioethics of synthetic life.

Visons of the Future

The 3 part series covers possible future scenarios for the human race in regard to our technological evolution. The matter is not will it happen, but when will it happen.

"Visions of the Future: The Intelligence Revolution. 1st part of 3 part miniseries on the BBC hosted by Michio Kaku. In this new three-part series, leading theoretical physicist and futurist Dr Michio Kaku explores the cutting edge science of today, tomorrow, and beyond. He argues that humankind is at a turning point in history. In this century, we are going to make the historic transition from the 'Age of Discovery' to the 'Age of Mastery', a period in which we will move from being passive observers of nature to its active choreographers. This will give us not only unparalleled possibilities but also great responsibilities."

Iran and the West

"Iran Press Watch urges its readers to watch the following three part BBC documentary. This well-funded work analyzes the long struggle of Iran and the West to come together ever since the revolution. The documentary shows interviews with a wide range of world leaders who reveal the inner dealings of all governing adminstrations from the past thirty years, both from within Iran’s own adminstration and from the Western counterparts. These include Vladimir Putin, Jimmy Carter, Mohammad Khatami, Bill Clinton and many more." Amazing how America arms both sides then plays them off against each other....W.T.F... sounds familiar.
