Self Evolving Minds & Machines: Garbage Warrior: A much needed spark
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2008/04/garbage-warrior-much-needed-spark.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Wednesday, April 2, 2008. Garbage Warrior: A much needed spark. What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you're renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. A much needed spark. Is a powerful and never more timely documentary. The vast social infrastructure changes required to sustain the livelihood of the average human life, amidst the Age of E...

Self Evolving Minds & Machines: Physiomorphise
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2008/03/physismorphise.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Friday, March 14, 2008. I've heard of the notion anthropomorphise before, or to ascribe human form or attributes to non-human things. But this picture seemingly shows the inverse. That is, non-human things imitating the human form or its attributes. After looking up the Greek word for nature, "physis," I came up with a term for this interesting phenomenon. I would like to make this some kind of theme if I discover more evidence of such rare events. Is that for real?

Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Monday, May 3, 2010. How the Universe Works: Black Holes. Here are five incredible things about black holes that may blow your mind:. 1) A new black hole is discovered every day from telescopes on Earth, making it appear that black holes are actually not rare, and that there are billions of them scattered across the cosmos. (How do we see "black" holes in deep dark space? 4) When a black hole sucks in tons of gas and star dust and the like, where does it go exactly?

Self Evolving Minds & Machines: Will the Internet Destroy Itself?
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2008/04/will-internet-destroy-itself.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Will the Internet Destroy Itself? Faster, Broader, but Less Deep. What is in mind is a sort of Chautauqua. That's the only name I can think of for it.like the traveling tent-show Chautauquas that used to move across America, this America, the one that we are now in, an old-time series of popular talks intended to edify and entertain, improve the mind and bring culture and enlightenment to the ears and thoughts of the hearer. Too Much Too Fast.

Self Evolving Minds & Machines: The Fountain
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2008/03/fountain.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Saturday, March 15, 2008. I just watched Darren Aronofsky's masterful film "The Fountain.". This was my second viewing and I appreciated its depth considerably more this time around. Though optically sublime, on the first viewing of the film I left the theater somewhat puzzled, wondering what exactly was the primary assertion or epiphany. For cinematography, this film may be. Once dead, one is free to be reborn. Death is itself a piece, a division, a branch of the Tree o...

Self Evolving Minds & Machines: Over Half the World Now Considered Middle Class
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2009/02/half-world-now-considered-middle-class.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Friday, February 13, 2009. Over Half the World Now Considered Middle Class. The other, more numerous, group consists of those who are middle-class by the standards of the developing world but not the rich one. Some time in the past year or two, for the first time in history, they became a majority of the developing world’s population: their share of the total rose from one-third in 1990 to 49% in 2005. Call it the developing middle class. If so, WHAT is emerging.for ...

Self Evolving Minds & Machines: Where are the wealthy patrons of the Arts today?
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2008/03/greatest-parking-garage-so-far.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Saturday, March 22, 2008. Where are the wealthy patrons of the Arts today? Of all things, this picture is of the exterior of a parking garage! Why aren't there more original buildings like this? Why have beautiful and intelligent structures become more and more a minority in an ocean of eyesores and blase buildings, boring the optics of the masses, making the insipid destinations of man's routines all the more feckless?

Self Evolving Minds & Machines: The Best Way to Impede Climate Change: Eat Eco-Friendly
http://selfevolving.blogspot.com/2008/04/easy-ways-to-eat-eco-friendly.html
Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Thursday, April 24, 2008. The Best Way to Impede Climate Change: Eat Eco-Friendly. Changing one's diet to local, organic, vegetarian, and/or vegan are by far the most effective ways for an individual to lessen their eco-footprint, more so than driving hybrid cars, carrying reusable grocery bags, or purchasing energy-saver light bulbs (although everything helps of course). Let us play devil's advocate here. Say. Don't recycle at all. And the next closest farm which uses b...

Self Evolving Minds and Machines. Monday, April 14, 2008. Herein Lies the Seeds of a Post-Apocalyptic Human World? Freezing 100 Million Seeds. We now understand that along with international movements to save endangered species and the rainforests of the world, it is just as important for us to conserve the diversity of the world's crops for future generations," says Wangari Maathai. But, why go to such lengths for biodiversity of seeds? Cary Fowler, "Crop diversity will soon prove to be our most potent ...
