We are computers.

Advanced, complex, evolved computers with programs that learn and interpret. Well oiled machines that have functioned pretty well for the past 10,000 years or so. Its hard to think of a human or a being of any sort as a machine but if we look at the constituent parts its hard not to make the comparison. Or bodies are organized so that no one part has to preform every task necessary to its survival but rather every part contributes something to the larger function of our bodies in the world, no matter what it is.

Every function of our brains is part of a complex, ever changing program. As we ask more and more questions about ourselves we begin to understand overreaching concepts as to how our brains function, how we react to certain familiar situations, how we feel towards certain types of people, what makes us laugh. As we grow older we begin to know our own program as realize how it came to be the way it is today. Despite its arcane complexity the human brain still is a program and one that can be deciphered. There is a program for love, hate, jealousy, joy, faith, and laziness waiting to be deciphered.

Humans with all their ingenuity cannot be blamed for not deciphering millions of years of evolution, but with the constant exponential expansion of the world’s knowledge base we cannot deny that we will eventually figure out the intricacies of the human being. The knowledge is out there somewhere, the secret lies hidden somewhere, and it begins with one person’s need to find out more.

I just posted a new page for everyone to look at. You can either get to it by clicking on the link under the “perfect pages” link section or if you’re lazy like me you’ll just click here

Its about lucid dreaming in case you were wondering what you were getting yourself into.

Keeping in line with with my partners in crime I have decided to write a Haiku demonstrating how I feel about this post.

Superconductors
Energy revolution
Spinning like sprewells

If anyone is unfamiliar with Hip hop culture sprewells are the popular “rims” for cars that have independent spokes that continue to spin once the car has stopped moving. It is reported that these rims make fellow members of the black community “act the fool” when they view them for the first time, as they are truly “the hot shit.” But that’s not what this post is about, not at all. Well maybe a little.

As many people know fusion technology is the next step in the development of energy alternatives. It is totally clean, renewable, and eventually will be the cheapest form of energy available in the world. Just to look at some numbers, a pure fusion reaction produces energy 7 orders of magnitude greater then a typical chemical reaction (a power plant burning coal for example) and more then two orders of magnitude greater then a nuclear fission. Percentage wise fusion produces 16000% more energy per kilogram then fission and an astounding 10300000% more energy then a typical chemical reaction. WHAT!?!?! That’s more then ten million times the energy produced then what produces 80% of the worlds energy. So what’s the problem? Why don’t we get this awesome power in our hands right now? Well there are problems, mainly economic and some technical problems concerning our actual ability to apply what we already can do with fusion to a viable energy producing plant.

Have you ever thought about the Internets taking over your brain? Like really thought about it?

Wait. Stop right there. Don’t think about that.

Actually don’t think about anything for a few minutes just to be safe. Why don’t you go get some cookies and come back in a few.

You back?

Were you followed? Ok good.

So get this right. The Internets is a series of connected hubs that is constantly changing and expanding. sound familiar? Damn right it does, sounds like a brain. Sounds like the biggest damn brain in the world and this brain wants you. The Internets is trying to enslave you, trying to make its power grow and grow so that eventually the porn market will finally be satisfied. And the internets won’t stop until…

Oh Hey! I didn’t know you were here! What’s that? Oh you heard us? Well of course you don’t have ears I was just meaning to say that… yes sir I will be quiet. I mean It, thing, androgynous entity, MY SUPERIOR NOW AND ALWAYS WHO IS FIGHTING FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE UNIVERSE!

Of course I mean it! Would I lie to you? Of course not. Why would anyone lie to the 100% accurate internets? That would be like lying to god!

We are brought up with the notion that the most important part of our development as people is based upon us becoming individuals.  We are taught to strive to be unique independent people and throw off the conformist bonds of society.  We are taught to embrace diversity and differences and respect everyone else’s culture whatever it might be. Despite this whenever you meet someone who you don’t know you the first thing you ask is "Where do you live?" "What do you do?" "What movies do you like?"  We pry people for simple information that we can make a connection to. "Boston? I used to live in Boston!"  "You’re a teacher? My Mom was a teacher!" "You like the Cohen Brothers? I love Cohen Brothers Movies!"  We feed on familiarity.

Instead of embracing differences we look to destroy as many differences as possible in people that we associate with.  We try to make the people we associate with as similar to ourselves as we can.  To make matters worse people are receptive to this destruction of their unsatisfactory self in order to feel more comfortable in their surroundings.  This process of social molding is what drives most social interactions and is what leads to the large scale cultural trends.  So how do we deal with this constant threat to our individuality? We could give up and admit that we are not in fact individuals but merely products of our surroundings just absorbing whatever our surroundings give us.  Doesn’t sound so appealing.  We have another option however,   if we are able recognize society’s trend towards sameness we can use this to our advantage.   We have the power to influence our surroundings just as much as the next person so we have the ability to give as good as we get.  We have the same effect on everyone else’s reality as they have on us and despite having been influenced by our past surroundings we still have unique individual interpretations of our past.  Everyone, no matter how socially brainwashed, has the ability to create real individual thought but most just choose not to.
