originally posted to Space Collective on Dec 13, 2007 Frank Herbert wrote that: “The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.” And of course who in his true and integrated mind will not agree to this statement?So let us start or begin our knowledge of the coming singularity by observing the prediction wall that is in front of us, the very wall that hides that which we do not understand. The prediction wall is a direct by-product of the very meaning of a tech ...

originally posted to Space Collective on Dec 22, 2007 The above statement, with which I resonate much and agree wholeheartedly, was made by Etonian zoologist and (now retired) amateur banker Matt Ridley. (see here). The context in which I am writing this is the last book in the series created by John Brockman of Edge.org, probably one of the most advanced website on the net. The book title itself is for me a joyful experience if for nothing else that nowadays having an optimistic attitude or ...

originally posted to Space Collective on Dec 26, 2007 Love One Another Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other&...

originally posted to Space Collective on Dec 13, 2007 I describe myself to myself and myself to others as an open and free mind, and quite often when asked to explain this narrative I say that I am a great believer. It is kind of circular I know; yet to really define what is an open and free mind I must refer to this most primal of human motivations, namely belief. To be a great believer is the foundation of an open mind for there is no mind more doubtful, more uncertain, or indeed more indet...
