Out of the billions of human viewpoints, millions of human documents, thousands of human schools of thought, and hundreds of expressed philosophies, commonality is more common than you might think. We can group them pretty clearly. The most basic division is this: Reality-based: People who think we should adapt to the patterns of reality. We [...]

Interesting Times magazine
Not to geek out too much, but I’m published in the new Interesting Times magazine. This PDF-based free magazine has a full magazine-style layout, but keeps the spirit of 1980s text files: exploratory like science fiction, irreverent like insurrection, and curious like a child. If you need a good cross-section between hacking culture, smarmy urban [...]
Economic karma
Very few people want to look the truth of jobs in the face: because we’re working around a lowest common denominator, most jobs are fluff, although those who get results outside of the job limits will succeed. Economics like all sciences is a study of how the world works. We observe, we formulate theories, we [...]

Every technological advance by modern society is destined only to destroy what little communities exist and further degenerate the overall health of humanity. This fact hits upon the ‘intolerable’ responsibility of actually restricting business and industrial-mechanized growth in respect [...]
Modern fantasy lands
I indulged in the spectacle of the Super Bowl a couple of months back. It is, after all, an American tradition. Some things I noticed made me laugh, but this quote from the winning quarterback was just hilarious: “Four years ago, who ever thought this would be happening?” said Brees, the game’s Most Valuable Player. [...]
Redemption
Religion in all societies goes through cycles. Initially proposed on a firm understanding and strong attitude toward reality, religions as they age through the generations deteriorate into knee-jerk dogmas that do not have the insight to unify the physical fact and metaphysical truth. I am fully aware of the problems caused by individualistic nature of many [...]
