SF Dogma 10 – Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com
http://www.theoretikos.com/articles/sfdogma10
Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. There was a school of film-making that emerged in the 1990s called Dogma 95. Or Dogme 95, if you were Danish.) The intention was to strip a movie back to the barest essentials so the focus on the characters that emerge. The creators wrote a manifesto of ten commandments that needed to be adhered to by directors in order for their films to be certified “Dogma 95”. I also talked to a lot of creators (mainly students) who wou...

Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. When I told people that I was going to/had been to visit Hiroshima, the first thing they ask was “Isn’t it radioactive? To clear my mind I walked a block away into a mall, and into Japanese normality. Teenagers were hanging in groups laughing and talking to each other. Shoppers hurried between stores, carrying bags home in the evening peak hour. Music played. It was a summer night in a city. Thursday, 6 August 2015. Rough ...

Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. The Value of Giving Up. I passed a man in an alley who was standing in front of a brick wall, slowly beating his head against it. His forehead was bloody, and it was clear he was in lots of pain. 8220;What are you doing? 8221; I asked. Thump* “I need to get through this wall,” he told me. *thump*. You’re hurting yourself! 8221; I said. Recognise that I might be using my head the wrong way to get through a brick wall. Is ap...

Young Louis Pasteur – Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com
http://www.theoretikos.com/2015/04/16/young-louis-pasteur
Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. I think this story. Is apocryphal, like the tale of the monk running from Brie to Camembert and took the secret of cheesemaking with him. I like the idea of Young Louis Pasteur…a bit like Young Sherlock Holmes. Perhaps he could hunt vampires in his spare time. Thursday, 16 April 2015. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Your email address will not be published. He resides in Melbourne, and is a big fan of Saturn.

Mindfulness and the God-shaped hole – Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com

Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. Mindfulness and the God-shaped hole. I have been meditating regularly every day, using guided meditations by Stephan Pende Wormland. The common thread from these is understanding and seeing thoughts as arising in my mind, but not being drawn into the story behind them. They are judging me, and either way it really doesn’t matter.

Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. You & Me vs Zombies. Over the past several years I have mentioned to people (usually with a wine glass in my hand and slightly slurring) that I had an idea for a story called “A Reluctant Father’s Guide to Child-Raising in a Post-Apocalyptic World.”. I only ever found one that spoke on my wavelength: Dad Rules by Andrew Clover. Very insightful and utterly brilliant.). I wake with Sam’s finger in my eye. Noz, he says. I fee...

Sean M Elliott's Theoretikos.com. Science Communication, Speculation, Imagination. A little over four hundred years ago, in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in Italy, a man named Galileo Galilei was given a new toy that had become popular in the Netherlands. It was a wooden tube with some ground-glass lenses at either end, and had the cool property of seeing things far away as if they were nearby. The observations made by Galileo were new. The planets and the Moon appeared to be spheres. Venus went thr...Imagi...
