How has our environment evolved and have we evolved appropriately to survive in it? The Island and The Things both comment on how humans poorly adapted to our various environments. We are constantly unaware of the limitations of protocols that we don’t pay attention to and how they affect us. ex. gravity. How can we control our own evolution […]
[The thing about I is, it only exists within a tenth-of-a-second of all its parts…when the neural architecture diffuses past some critical point and signals take just that much longer to pass from A to B— the system, well, decoheres…I shatters into we. It’s not just a human rule, or a mammal rule, or even […]
What do organisms do, are they restricted to completing tasks or can they just coexist. What possibilities are opened by looking at effects as organisms. A wave traveling along the ocean is a group of molecules that are interacting and spreading their influence as they go. Any action on the earth is an organism of […]
“The more you can change, the more you can adapt. Adaptation is fitness, adaptation is survival. It’s deeper than intelligence, deeper than tissue; it is cellular, it is axiomatic.” The Thing, Peter Watts There have been many assumptions about what the future has in store for us and how to plan for such situations. However, […]
“We may die rich, we may die poor. But we certainly shall not die of boredom.” (Prince Roy Bates, of the Principality of Sealand) When the Bates family took over the WWII anti-aircraft platform called Roughs Tower in the 1960s it was still outside of the British territorial waters. Since its conception, both sides […]
Every species is in a state of constant evolution. Humans are an interesting species as we evolve not just physically but also technologically. We live in symbiosis with countless other species and cells yet we have never tried to communicate through them. A New language could be established through architecture. The bottom bread spends his […]
So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, […]
Artificial and natural in the past have been seen as mortal enemies of each other. Always competing with each other for existence, until recently. Artificiality as reached a stage of complexion which has allowed it to finally learn from and copy natural design, and surpass it. Blurring the lines, raising moral question, creating grey areas […]
We are living on a different planet than that of our ancestors because we are able to alter the world in more significant ways than they ever could- they re-acted to geologic events, we can enact geologic events. As is written in the beginning of Making the Geologic Now, “These [geologic] are forces to be […]
