The Ultraworld Manifesto
2008-04-17 17:45:00 We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat. Terence Mckenna. The earth is on fire. Or is it, as the god of the Jews would vouch for, permanently and necessarily on fire. Must we fix the ... More About: Philosophy , Manifesto
Waking Life: Alex Jones - I want freedom
2008-04-17 16:57:00 Alex Jones : You can’t fight city hall, death and taxes. Don’t talk about politics or religion. This is all the equivalent of enemy propaganda rolling across the picket line. “Lay down, G.I. Lay down, G.I.” We saw it all through the 20th Century. And now in the 21st Century, it’s time to stand up and ... More About: Freedom , Life , World Politics , Alex
First LSD Trip Report
2008-04-17 15:41:00 The other day I took approximately one and a third tabs of acid at a friend?s place. It was the first time I have tried LSD. I had had two coffees before the tab and a cigarillo while it was under my tongue. I believe this caused the only major negative effect of the trip: ... More About: Drugs , Report , Trip
Psychedelic Cannabis
2008-04-17 09:14:00 This is something I wrote in 2006 after having a very strange experience with weed: It was the night of the 29th of December, a Saturday. I was staying at my cousin Rob?s place, and had been for the previous day also. Nothing odd going on really, though we had smoked some cannabis the previous night, ...

Waking Life: David Sosa - The seemingly insurmountable problem of free will
2008-04-14 21:00:00 University of Texas at Austin philosophy professor David Sosa: In a way, in our contemporary world view, it’s easy to think that science has come to take the place of God. But some philosophical problems remain as troubling as ever. Take the problem of free will. This problem has been around for a long time, since ... More About: Philosophy , Life , Free , Psychology
Peter Goodspeed, National Post: Food crisis being felt around world
2008-04-14 14:28:00 Now is the time for extensive research into food-elimination strategies. It is as clear as day that markets are not an effective way of providing the world with inexpensive necessities. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.ht ml?id=412984 Sharply rising prices have triggered food riots in recent weeks in Mexico, Morocco, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Guinea, Mauritania and Yemen, and aid agencies around the world worry ...

An Anarchist Future
2008-04-10 12:33:00 It is a terribly sad image. Most people?s lives, even the so called privileged one?s, are unbelievably cyclical. Each hour is like each other hour; the only major differences are being awake or not being awake. Each day is like each other day. Waking up, having a shower, having a shave, having breakfast, going to ... More About: Future

2008-04-10 11:19:00 Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke: Ethan Hawke - I keep thinking about something you said. Julie Delphy - Something I said? - Yeah.

Waking Life: J. C. Shakespeare - Vicarious
2008-04-09 16:33:00 J. C. Shakespeare : A self-destructive man feels completely alienated, utterly alone. He’s an outsider to the human community. He thinks to himself, “I must be insane.” What he fails to realize is that society has, just as he does, a vested interest in considerable losses and catastrophes. These wars, famines, floods and quakes meet well-defined ... More About: Philosophy , Life
Nature is Alive
2008-04-09 16:12:00 Nature is alive. There is no doubt about that. In fact the matter seems almost trivial, almost tautological. It?s something. It?s scary. It?s a real entity; an entity known as ?the other?. The reason we naively doubt this is for exactly that reason: it is the other, it is as alien as it is familiar. ...

Godspeed, brother Tusko
2008-04-08 17:40:00 Tusko the elephant died shortly after being injected with 297 mg of LSD in 1962. Within five minutes of the injection he collapsed to the ground and one hour and forty minutes later he died. It is believed that the LSD was the cause of his death, although some speculate that the drugs the researchers ... More About: Brother

2008-04-08 17:36:00 This an amazing early song from Bone Thugs. It’s interesting to hear there raps from way back when.

Jonathan Leake - Coming soon: superfast internet

Something we couldn’t imagine 40 years ago, the internet, who could imagine that it would be superceded by something greater? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/ science/article3689881.ece THE internet could soon be made obsolete.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - 1st of tha Month
2008-04-05 17:41:00 Here’s one of my favourite songs at the moment. It’s funny; I used to be kind of against rap, I thought it was very shallow and I didn’t like it’s arrogant attitude. But now I really respect the talent, flow and the beauty of the attitude of showing real life instead of a watered down ... More About: Music , Harmony , Bone Thugs-N-Harmony , Bone , Month
Essay on the Images in King Lear
2008-04-05 13:44:00 This is an essay I wrote in high school. William Shakespeare?s King Lear contains various aspects of imagery, which affect character development and themes. Appearance versus reality, sight versus blindness and the ?Chain of Being? are all themes that images convey in the play. Images are often cloaked in similes and metaphors, for example, animal, storm ... More About: Essay
Waking Life: Eamonn Healy - From Population Evolution to Individual Evoluti
2008-04-05 10:41:00 Eamonn Healy, Chemistry professor at University of Texas at Austin: If we’re looking at the highlights of human development, you have to look at the evolution of the organism and then at the development of its interaction with the environment. Evolution of the organism will begin with the evolution of life perceived through the hominid ... More About: Science , Life , Individual , Futurism
Bill Hicks: This is Only a Ride
2008-04-03 03:57:00 Here’s one of my favourite pieces of wisdom from a supremely wise and hilarious man who died before his time. Think about what Bill Hicks would say about the world we live in now. He would be gobsmacked, but he would make us laugh harder than ever. That’s for sure. You are greatly missed, Bill. The ... More About: Philosophy , Ride , Futurism
BBC - Scientists create human-animal hybrid
2008-04-02 06:30:00 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7323298 .stm This is some really scary stuff. It is however, very interesting, and it seems that if we can keep a lid on this technology, i. e. we can use it responsibly, we can attain some great benefits out of the use of stem cells. The aims of the research, must therefore be specific to this, ... More About: Science , Animal , Hybrid , Human , Scientists

New Zealand Magic Mushroom Guide
2008-03-31 02:38:00 I decided to write this document after finding a lot of information on the internet about NZ psilocybin mushrooms, but no one place that provided all the necessary information in one place. I thought it would be useful for those wishing to identify these mushrooms to have such a resource. One should be extremely ... More About: New Zealand , Magic , Mushrooms , Mushroom , Guide
Fusion Power: One Potential Source of Zero-point Energy

Waking Life: Kim Krizian on communication
2008-03-30 20:08:00 Kim Krizan, screenwriter: Creation seems to come out of imperfection. It seems to come out of a striving and a frustration. And this is where I think language came from. I mean, it came from our desire to transcend our isolation and have some sort of connection with one another. And it had to be ... More About: Life , Dreams , Communication
Waking Life: Robert Solomon on Existentialism
2008-03-30 11:52:00 Robert Solomon: The reason why I refuse to take existentialism as just another French fashion or historical curiosity is that I think it has something very important to offer us for the new century. I’m afraid we’re losing the real virtues of living life passionately, sense of taking responsibility for who you are, the ability ... More About: Philosophy , Life , Dreams , Psychology , Robert

A World without Want is a World without Food

Anarchism Essay
2008-03-06 11:22:00 A common feeling people have about modern anarchism is that it is primarily a negative political theory. They see it as defining itself more in its opposition to capitalism, coercive state power and general forms of authority rather than any positive alternative. It is also seen as closely tied to the anti-capitalist, anti-poverty, anti-United States ... More About: Essay , Anarchism
