About Death, a Singularity or Nothing: February 2012

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Sunday, 26 February 2012. I don't always write film reviews, but when I do. It's on the day of the Oscars and about a film that deals with the early history of Cinema. And is not The Artist. And just by coincidence - it was the only film I could see in original language yesterday night in Cologne (WTF Ze Germans - most of you speak perfect English? Content that I've managed to generate. But then the first article I posted here, about nuclear warfare. And send shiver...

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Friday, 21 October 2011. Before, they were cool. Yep, the grammar is correct, today the topic is people who used to be cool but later turned out to be monsters. Of course this thing is inspired by the very recent demise of the good colonel. But it has a deeper background in my fascination with the lives of powerful leaders slash mass murderers. Of course that's the hot topic this week and I'm going to start with him. He's the easiest one anyway because I don't n...

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing: May 2014

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Saturday, 24 May 2014. I think I'll be looking forward to each year's Top 10 Species list. The way normal people look forward to the world cup or Hunger Games' new season. It captures the usual fascination with nature with a depressing hint about how little we actually know about the planet we live on. On the brighter side, if we keep on discovering these weird critters every year then imagine what kind of oddities await us. It also opened my mind about fairflies.

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing: June 2010

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Saturday, 5 June 2010. Strange beasts (and big ones, too). So which animal do you think is the biggest? Some may say it's the elephant but I guess people that dumb are not likely to end up reading this. Most will agree it's the blue whale, which is a perfectly valid answer. However, the true geeks may instead reply with "what exactly does 'the biggest' mean? Which is, in this case, a very good point. The lion's mane jellyfish's ( Cyanea capillata. Have been measured...

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Tuesday, 11 May 2010. Politics - dirty business or science. As we all know, democracy is not perfect but it's superior to all other systems we've tried by any reasonable comparison. And by reasonable I mean one that is based more on quality of life rather than military conquests. Despite their flaws, democratic societies never had to erect fences to keep their people in ;-). For fuck's sake, people, trade unions were cool decades ago! And there is another important ...

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Monday, 26 April 2010. Time management is no joke. I'm pretty sure the notion of time management is somehow vaguely defined for a lot of people, at least it used to be so for me. When I was first year in university not only the concept of systematic, results-driven time management was alien to me but not a single trace of time management was to be found in my activities. Actually most time management gurus don't advocate zealous commitment to achievements but would ...

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Tuesday, 8 May 2012. Short Treatise on Speciesism. Stilgar from the sietch. Got me thinking about this one - how do we get to decide which animals we can kill, legally and uncontroversially. The Bulgarian Law for the Protection of Animals. In Bulgarian, translation. Was soon posted, exposing flagrant speciesism deeply rooted into the bulgarian legal system. The classical school of thought here, advocated by luminaries like Douglas Hostadter. Cats became a no-no (sor...

About Death, a Singularity or Nothing. Monday, 1 October 2012. Today the awe was rekindled by xkcd. And the subsequent discovery of this Frederic Perrin. Guy who doesn't even have his own Wikipedia page, the poor soul. He seems to be the man. Perrin's illustrations are quite cool, as well as various others I have seen. What bothers me though is how this thing would work. I see three options:. 1 Resting on long pillars that extrude high in the sky. 2 Hanging from something up above. There's no way to have...
