The world’s scientific community united yesterday to launch one of the strongest attacks yet on creationism, warning that the origins of life were being “concealed, denied or confused”.
At least our lives don’t depend on creationists understanding truth. Or do they? read more.

Climatecrisis.net has RSS! Feedburner no less. Pretty impressive guys.
And their ten things to do pdf is completely doable. In fact, I do some of them now and can easily do a lot more.
Phew. Maybe there is hope after all.
Seriously. Go see An Inconvenient Truth tonight.
I realized that I had asked a question about the President using PowerPoint a couple of days ago and practically the next day watched a former Vice President do exactly that. Except he wasn’t using PowerPoint, he was using Keynote. Yep. That’s right. The creator of the internet uses a Mac.
And the South Park episode [...]
Loading ...If you want to know why, go see An Inconvenient Truth. I’m super serial.
CEOs build trust and get money from shareholders by making quarterly PowerPoint presentations detailing their past successes and future plans. Why wouldn’t the President of The United States of America use this simple and powerful technology to build trust and gain support from US citizens?
…about not participating in traditionally enjoyable experiences and creating the illusion that happiness can be found in alternative less enjoyable experiences. The degree to which people around you try to emulate your alternative lifestyle and fail determines how cool you are. You’re only as cool as people wish they were.

First off, I enjoy reading Steve Pavlina’s blog. For the most part, it’s great stuff.
But this latest post is anti-hierarchy, relativist postmodern sludge. He’s concluding that all discerning thought is nothing more than social conditioning and fear-based attachments. Take a look at his simplistic syllogisms.
Death of a loved one = tragedy. Death of a [...]
I just finished watching The Secret. What is The Secret? It is feature length movie about The Law of Attraction. As inspiring as this movie was, there was this critical voice inside of me saying how incomplete it was. I truly want to believe in this principle and to a great extent I do. In [...]
From Chicken and Egg Problem Solved:
Java Pimp writes “It seems scientists and philosophers now agree which came first. The Egg. From the CNN article: ‘Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal’s life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a [...]
Today’s a sad day for me. My favorite show of all time is ending. Trust me when I say that I’m not a TV addict. I didn’t own a TV for many years. But The West Wing changed all that.
Why I love The West Wing:
Peak Performance. In my quest to be a great musician, I [...]
From Scientology nearly ready to unveil Super Power via Boing Boing:
Super Power uses machines, apparatus and specially designed rooms to exercise and enhance a person’s so-called perceptics. Those machines include an antigravity simulator and a gyroscope-like apparatus that spins a person around while blindfolded to improve perception of compass direction, said the former Scientologists.
I have [...]
From Hybrids and the “metrospiritual” segment:
The New Demographic: Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) or “metrospiritual.”
The writer goes on to argue that hybrids the four-wheeled embodyment of this $227 billion segment, which includes members shopping at Whole Foods grocery stores; drinking tea versus coffee or soda; and practicing yoga. To a metrospiritualist, a hybrid states [...]
Paraphrasing How To Deconstruct Almost Anything:
The basic enterprise of contemporary literary criticism is actually quite simple. It is based on the observation that with a sufficient amount of clever handwaving and artful verbiage, you can interpret any piece of writing as a statement about anything at all.
Step 1 — Select a work to be deconstructed.
Step [...]
From if you’re not in it for the money:
Drawing by satirist High Macleod. Inspired by The last gasp of the power of the press:
Part-time boldfacer Jared Paul Stern was caught on tape allegedly shaking down billionaire investor Ronald W. Burkle for $100,000 down and $10,000 a month in return for snark-protection from The Post.
…And it [...]
Link: “Gospel of Judas” Surfaces After 1,700 Years
“…the Gospel of Judas identifies him as Christ’s favourite disciple and depicts his betrayal as the fulfilment of a divine mission to enable the crucifixion - and thus the foundation of Christianity - to take place.”
The National Geographic channel is playing a two-hour documentary on the manuscript Sunday [...]
From Geekonomics via GenerationSit.org:
What if everything in life were free? You’d think we’d be happier. But game designers know better: We’d be bored.
It’s interesting that virtual worlds also demonstrate absolute/relative truth. To me, understanding the difference is intellectually enough. But the minute I try to think myself into a conclusion about suffering, I lose the [...]
Copyright (from Wikipedia):
It appears publishers, rather than authors, were the first to seek restrictions on copying printed works. Given that publishers now obtain the copyright from the authors as a condition of mass reproduction of a work, one of the criticisms of the current system is that it benefits publishers more than it does authors. [...]
From The Future Of Science:
Kevin Kelly has some fascinating ideas about where science as a practice is going in the next 50 years. Just the topic headings make for crunchy, futurismic reading: compiled negative results, triple blind experiments, combinatorial sweep exploration, and the list goes on.
Kelly’s definitely an integral thinker (transcend and include):
New informational organizations [...]
