“Deadly Monopolies”: Bio-colonialsm and medical corporatism: organism, gene and human tissue patents.

20 11 2011

Watch or listen to the 45 minute interview here.

From Democracy Now:

One of the major themes raised by the Occupy movement is the increasing power of large corporations over more and more aspects of our lives. We spend the hour looking into the issue of the corporate control of life itself. Our guest, Harriet Washington, is a medical ethicist and has just published a book that examines the extent to which what she calls the medical-industrial complex has come to control human life. In the past 30 years, more than 40,000 patents have been granted on genes alone—many more patents are pending. Washington argues that the biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies patenting these genes are more concerned with profit than with the health or medical needs of patients. Her new book is called “Deadly Monopolies: The Shocking Corporate Takeover of Life Itself—And the Consequences for Your Health and Our Medical Future.”





Bleeding Heart Libertarians

6 10 2011

One of the most elucidating introductions to the “intellectual traditions” of libertarianism I’ve ever heard.   Very thought-provoking and concise.   Highly recommended if you’re interested in politics or non-politics.

Interesting how the individual and the collective form a spectrum.  And that is where all form and pattern originates.  Between the particles and the waves. ~





Jason Silva on time, intelligence, language, psychedelics…

and 50 other things in less than 2 minutes! :D

But really, these quick Jason Silva videos are wonderful.  Watch in full screen.

Sci-fi abilities of 6 real life plants

23 09 2011

Via disinfo via blastr.

Plants don’t get enough respect as sci-fi monsters. Sure, Triffids will always rule, but sci-fi baddies tend to be mutants, zombies, vampires and other altered mammals. This is in ignorance of plants’ amazingly creepy special abilities. To prove it, we’ve dug up six plant skills that freak us out more than Godzilla.

Thrive documentary trailer

20 09 2011

This documentary appears to be an impressive and timely mash-up of fringe and esoteric memes such as exopolitics and free energy with key points of societal change such as the monetary system and sustainable living practices.

TEDxPSU – Richard Doyle – Scaling the Noösphere

11 06 2011

This is a TEDx presentation given by my favorite scholar of the rhetoric of biochemistry and post-vital living, Richard Doyle, about the importance of developing our conceptions of the noösphere.

Currently I’m reading his newest scholarly book concerning his ecodelic hypotheses about archaic and contemporary psychedelic media technologies, Darwin’s Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and the Evolution of the Noösphere.

Free Energy Bonanza!! :D

25 04 2011

Yes please.

Below you will find some thrilling developments in the field of free energy.   First off, some updates on the Rossi Energy Catalizer (E-Cat).  If you haven’t seen the promotional video I posted a month ago watch this first:

Now, short update videos are being released:

Andrea Rossi appeared on Coast 2 Coast not long ago and filled us in on some specifics and, to me, sounds pretty legit, especially since he invested only his own money in the project by selling his previous business and is not seeking funding like a scam artist might.  The bulk of the interview is with Ismael Aviso, creator of the Pure Energy Systems Wiki (PESWiki) website, who describes a number of other exciting developments in free energy engineering from gravity motors to magnet mototrs to Teslaesque style zero-point energy extractors.
(Part 1, follow the links for  parts 2 – 6)

A collection of frequently asked questions of Rossi are answered at PESWiki

and more questions, answered by Rossi in live chat, can be found here and even more here.

For updates on the progress of Rossi’s E-Cat check out

5/9 UPDATE:   A 25 minute segment aired on an Italian news channel detailing the history and current projects involving the E-Cat:

Next are some videos of different inventors and technologies, starting with of a demonstration of a powerful magnetic motor (one of many prototypes making the rounds these days).  This one is at The University of the Netherlands and is in English:
(10 min video)

….

And here is video explaining the discovery of MIT chemists Daniel Nocera and Matthew Kanan, which has been getting some mainstream attention, of a way to split water into oxygen and hydrogen using cobalt as a catalyst.  Yet another feasible method to replace ALL fossil fuel and nuclear fission sources of energy:

and to hear the approach and projections by the discoverer himself, Daniel Nocera, check out his fascinating and entertaining 20 minute PopTech presentation:

Now I know all of this makes you uncomfortably giddy inside, but to rekindle that good ol’ ferocious anger at our insane and genocidal system (grrr… ), you also need to see to see the following examples of how we are already capable of relinquishing ourselves from Old Energy using already established technologies,

with this article:

Germany’s solar panels produce more power than Japan’s entire Fukushima complex (!!!)

 and this video which states that

“Windmills are being shutdown because the North West has more electricity than the infrastructure can handle”

even though the West Coast still struggles with an ‘energy crisis.’






Jonathan Ott interview @ 2008 World Psychedelic Forum

25 03 2011

Faustin Bray, the founder of Sound Photosynthesis, interviews one of the world’s foremost experts on visionary substances, Jonathan Ott, wherein they discuss such things as the civilizational collapse, off-grid strategies, navigating time-streams as well some nuances of the modern psychedelic movement.  Interviewer Faustin Brey sorta trails off at the end but a Jon Ott interview is a rare treat so enjoy.  :)
