Ask this question of the mystics, and you will hear an opinion that this dream of "reality" is very hackable. The essential ingredient of any effective hack is understanding. Many teachers have put a lot of work into clarifying th

After playing guitar for 40 years as a self-taught, non-reading musician, I started using a key that is not usually discussed in books about music theory. My key is like C Major, but with an added G#, and the tonic can be either EM or Am. I

A very complex set of multiply redundant systems routes calls on local, national and international levels. The particular details of such systems are not for public consumption. This is not weird; telephone techs just go to work like everyo

Scientists phooey. They're wannabe military engineers - murderers, practicing killing where nobody thinks to complain.

Yes, I noticed my handwriting deteriorating. I didn't want to lose the skill of handwriting, so I've returned to snail mail :) I've discovered that my handwritten letters are quite different to my emails. I'm much more r

Buy and sell... but know your market! Remember - before you buy something - be quite sure you can sell it quickly and that you won't lose money on it.

... but what if the audience is not aware that the work is computer generated? Don't they get the same experience they would get from a human made work? Art is good in 2 synergetic ways: the artist gain satisfaction from his work, and

Yes, we get cartoon news, painted in broad strokes, and not very often. There's a lot of meaningless gossip about celebrities and sports and there are stories of airline crashes and the like, but as for proper engagement with the real

In a democracy, the news is supposed to be the channel of information by which the populace is able to supervise the government. Perhaps it is my advancing age that makes me wonder how such an important function can be thought of in paralle

Some people have a mystical experience, called satori, which changes their beliefs about the world forever. Mystics are people who have seen, in moments of satori, the importance and significance of certain truths which most people recognis

I feel I don't often have much to say because I'm not presently engaged with anything but my own research. However I lurk about and try to get some understanding of some of the issues facing modern engineering without necessarily

I don't know how I get through life, really. I can't recognize faces or names, even to the extent that my mother could walk past and I might not know her. I'm good on many kinds of facts though and have good analytical skills

Is it really necessary to go so deep? Why not start in the foothills of some granitic massif and drill up? I'm sure you'll get lots of heat!

So who's amazed, anyway. We've seen population growth and decay curves and noted that our species has more characteristics in common with the short lived species that only go for a few million years than it has with the long survi
