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 […]
“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.

It’s not just a human rule, or a mammal rule, or even […]

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, […]
