Here’s perhaps the conspiracy of the year. The FOIA has revealed that the US military was working on a chemical weapon that would turn enemy troops gay! Now I’ve heard it all…

What is the process of interaction? Do things just fall into place on
its own?

the human soul is defined as the process of interaction.
my existence is defined as interaction with others.

If I’m not interacting with others or things, I wouldn’t know if I’m alive
or not. Emotions develop through “process of interaction”. Love, hate, sadness,
jeoulsy, pain, remorse. etc.

There exists a super consicous through interaction between different
people, civilizations and cultures. War, famine and fundamentalism are the
“drugs” that caus havoc to the superonscious.

Our buddy Bill gave a talk a CES where he had a few things to say. Apparently his presentation crashed, which is funny enough, but more importantly he compared file sharing, and those who support open communities to communists. This is pathetic on the one hand because conjuring the demon labels of the day “communist” or “terrorist” does little for your intellectual street cred and merely muddies the waters of meaning. But this is further pathetic because it is the very forces of technological destabiliation which allowed his budding Microsoft to take the crown from IBM in the mid-eighties. What’s good for goose is good for the gander, Bill.

Believe it or not a woman in Surrey, England uses a remote control device to control her brain implant for “Essential Tremor”. Apparently the remote control was stolen!

While some warn of donating to the wrong group, or of scheisters scamming innocent people’s money in the guise of help for earthquake victims, most encourage this aid on a large scale. But some might find interesting this Ayn Rand Institute piece by David Holcberg arguing the U.S. government should not help, as the money is not theirs to give. He asks “By What Right?” Like it or not, the right is given to them as elected officials to both tax, and spend that money by our votes. They are theoretically representatives of voters, although in reality also of interest groups, and large corporations.
