According to the theory portrayed in the recent film ‘Anonymous’, Shakespeare was essentially the 17th century’s Wikileaks. Great movie… but it is not the Shakespeare theory I contend to. There are many theories regarding who the original author of the Shakespearian works was. Anyone who actually cares enough to look into the matter agrees that it was certainly not the actor from Stratford-on-Avon, however, no consensus has been reached with regards to whom the actual author was, or ‘were’ as the case may be. But even though I do not hold the position put forth by this new Roland Emmerich film, I was still sincerely impressed by the script and performances.

Bleeding Heart Libertarians

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. ~

Visual brain activity reconstructed using fMRI and Youtube

This was the technology portrayed in the 6th season episode of House entitled Black Hole.

The potential of it is staggering.

YouTube Preview Image

From description:

The left clip is a segment of the movie that the subject viewed while in the magnet. The right clip shows the reconstruction of this movie from brain activity measured using fMRI. The reconstruction was obtained using only each subject’s brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video. (In brief, the algorithm processes each of the 18 million clips through the brain model, and identifies the clips that would have produced brain activity as similar to the measured brain activity as possible. The clips used to fit the model, those used to test the model and those used to reconstruct the stimulus were entirely separate.) Brain activity was sampled every one second, and each one-second section of the viewed movie was reconstructed separately.

TEDxPSU – Richard Doyle – Scaling the Noösphere

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.

The Mystery of Change

A short film with narration by Alan Watts and music by Sigur Rós.

[vodpod id=Video.5747615&w=425&h=350&fv=]

In an online thread about about death, consciousness and DMT, Robert Forte told this story:

18 years ago I was trying to get my five year old son to say some cute and profound thing so i  asked him what he thought happens when you die. 

“i don’t want to talk about it,” he said.
“oh come on,” i said,  ”its going to happen to everyone. what do you think happens?”
“Dad,” he said firmly,  ”i don’t want to talk about it.”
I said,  ”its nothing to be afraid of.”
“Dad,” he said, nearly shouting.  ”I don’t even want to think about it.”
“but why not?”  i asked.
“Because i want it to be a surprise.”

Yugen.
