The state of the future

The state of the future � KurzweilAI: "While the growth and power of the Internet continues to surprise much of the world, the syntheses among the sciences and the resulting technological breakthroughs may have even greater impacts on the human condition. Synthetic biologists forecast that as computer code is written to create software to augment human capabilities, so too genetic code will be written to create life forms to augment civilization. Computers are being constructed with the objective of developing the processing power of the human brain. The wooly mammoth’s DNA has been used to create living blood cells like those that lived in this extinct animal 43,000 years ago."

Jacques Valle: Magonians create crop circles | forgetomori

Jacques Vall�e: Magonians create crop circles | forgetomori: "Recently, acknowledged Fortean researcher Jacques Valle published a series of posts on our cherished BoingBoing regarding crop circles (part 1, 2, 3, 4). News from last year about a directed microwave weapon by the US army prompted Valle to argue that, since “these things are typically revealed 30 years after they are tested”, their initial development and testing would fit well with the heyday of the crop circle frenzy.

That is, Valle promoted the idea, which he initially suggested in 1991, that crop circles are made by the military using directed energy systems, beamed from “a low-observable dirigible using corn fields as a convenient calibration target.”"

Why Americans aren’t prepared for the next mega-disaster - SmartPlanet: "After 9/11, we don’t find much change in the willingness of the general population in doing what they need to do. I speak a lot, and virtually every audience, I ask, “How many of you are prepared, according to published guidelines, for a major disaster?” If I get more than two or three hands in a crowded auditorium, I’m always surprised. It’s even true among disaster planning professionals. There’s a very high level of resistance in the general public to following guidelines to get prepared."

The Inhuman Government

The Inhuman Government: "One of the great errors of big government liberalism is its belief that inhuman systems are superior to human beings. This form of mechanical thinking is a commonplace error in a scientific age in which we have become used to using mechanical systems to solve problems. But people are not machines, and trying to turn people into gears in the great machine of government leads to tragic results."

Widespread male infertility sweeping the globe

Widespread male infertility sweeping the globe: "(NaturalNews) Nearly 20 years ago, Danish scientists first broke the news to the world that men from Western countries seem to be slowly becoming infertile. Recent research seems to back this up as well, with average sperm counts having dropped to half of what they were 50 years ago.

According to reports, nearly 20 percent of men between the ages of 18 and 25 have sperm counts that are abnormally low. To put this in perspective, consider the fact that in the 1940s, men had an average of about 100 million sperm cells per millimeter of semen (m/ml). Today, the average is around 60m/ml. Those among the 20 percent with abnormal levels have less than 20m/ml."

al-Qaida mastermind has U.S. in his sights: "U.S. counter-terrorism authorities have identified a leading Saudi-born al-Qaida operative as a key figure in a September 2009 plot to bomb New York's subway system, an attack that could have matched the carnage of 9/11. Adnan el Shukrijumah, 34, is a naturalized U.S. citizen but he has a $5 million bounty on his head, a measure of the threat U.S. authorities consider he poses. He is linked directly to al-Qaida's top leadership and the subway plot underlines how they are still striving to pull off another cataclysmic assault on the United States."

Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: Why Our Universe Must Have Been Born Inside a Black Hole

Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: Why Our Universe Must Have Been Born Inside a Black Hole: "'Accordingly, our own Universe may be the interior of a black hole existing in another universe.' So concludes Nikodem Poplawski at Indiana University in a remarkable paper about the nature of space and the origin of time.

The idea that new universes can be created inside black holes and that our own may have originated in this way has been the raw fodder of science fiction for many years. But a proper scientific derivation of the notion has never emerged.

Today Poplawski provides such a derivation. He says the idea that black holes are the cosmic mothers of new universes is a natural consequence of a simple new assumption about the nature of spacetime."

All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists participating in the salvage operation will die instantly. An ocean bottom collapse would follow, instantaneously displacing up to a trillion cubic feet of water or more and creating a towering supersonic tsunami annihilating everything along the coast and well inland. Like a thermonuclear blast, a high pressure atmospheric wave could precede the tidal wave flattening everything in its path before the water arrives.'"

Climate Change Used as Excuse For Population Control: "One writer summarizes the way such population control would occur as follows:

Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not; The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food; Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise; People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility”—in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized."

GM crop ban may be lifted in EU | Environment | The Guardian: "The European Union will take a huge stride tomorrow towards freeing up the production of GM crops when the European commission proposes allowing national governments to make up their own minds on whether to permit their cultivation.

In a move which aims to resolve a 12-year deadlock that has resulted in a virtual freeze on the approval of GM farming, the commission will propose allowing pro-GM states such as Spain and the Netherlands to increase production, while also allowing others such as Germany and Austria to maintain restrictions."

Some folks, such as Terrence McKenna, have hypothesized that the technological Singularity will put us in touch with these beings (which he whimsically labeled “nine-dimensional machine-elves”!), via allowing us to occupy more flexible mind-architectures and lose the restrictions of the human self…"

Historian warns of sudden collapse of American ‘empire’

Historian warns of sudden collapse of American ‘empire’: "Harvard professor and prolific author Niall Ferguson opened the 2010 Aspen Ideas Festival Monday with a stark warning about the increasing prospect of the American “empire” suddenly collapsing due to the country’s rising debt level.

“I think this is a problem that is going to go live really soon,” Ferguson said. “In that sense, I mean within the next two years. Because the whole thing, fiscally and other ways, is very near the edge of chaos. And we’ve seen already in Greece what happens when the bond market loses faith in your fiscal policy.”

Ferguson said empires — such as the former Soviet Union and the Roman empire — can collapse quite quickly and the tipping point is often when the cost of servicing an empire’s debt is larger than the cost of its defense budget."

Dark Matter May Be Building Up Inside the Sun | Wired Science | Wired.com

Dark Matter May Be Building Up Inside the Sun | Wired Science | Wired.com: "The sun could be a net for dark matter, a new study suggests. If dark matter happens to take a certain specific form, it could build up in our nearest star and alter how heat moves inside it in a way that would be observable from Earth.

Dark matter is the mysterious stuff that makes up about 83 percent of the matter in the universe, but doesn’t interact with electromagnetic forces. Although the universe contains five times as much dark matter as normal matter, dark matter is completely invisible both to human eyes and every kind of telescope ever devised. Physicists only know it’s there because of its gravitational effect on normal matter. Dark matter keeps galaxies spinning quickly without flying apart and is responsible for much of the large-scale structure in the universe."

Is Time Disappearing from the Universe? (A Weekend Feature)

Is Time Disappearing from the Universe? (A Weekend Feature): "Remember a little thing called the space-time continuum? Well what if the time part of the equation was literally running out? New evidence is suggesting that time is slowly disappearing from our universe, and will one day vanish completely. This radical theory may explain a cosmological mystery that has baffled scientists for years.

Scientists previously have measured the light from distant exploding stars to show that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. They assumed that these supernovae are spreading apart faster as the universe ages. Physicists also assumed that a kind of anti-gravitational force must be driving the galaxies apart, and started to call this unidentified force 'dark energy'."

DARPA's Dynamic Duo Plans to Turn Biology into Tools for Troops, Somehow | Popular Science: "DARPA is an interesting and innovative agency, not only because it pushes the science and technology envelopes, providing funding, purpose, and goals to R&D houses looking to create next-gen technology, but also because its talents are unparalleled when it comes to acronyms. Take, for instance, the agency's two newest initiatives: Biochronicity and Temporal Mechanisms Arising in Nature, and Robustness of Biologically-Inspired Networks. That's right: BaTMAN and RoBIN. This dynamic duo of programs aims to turn basic biology into a tool for better situational awareness and decision-making. Put in DARPA's own words, BaTMAN would strive to 'develop an understanding of the relationship between biological systems and the spatial-temporal universe through the application of advanced principles from the physical sciences,' while RoBIN will seek to 'apply the critical control features of biological networks to build unique models for adaptable networks, and create a dynamic biologically-inspired network of scientists and other experts for crisis response and complex decision support.'"

Not only is there no mandatory labeling of products sold in the U.S. that contain GMO ingredients, but the FDA and USDA now want to prohibit the labeling of products that do not contain GMO ingredients. In other words, the FDA and USDA are trying to outlaw truth in labeling and are openly working deceive the public."

Man-Made Life a Boon With Risks for Terror and Error - BusinessWeek

Man-Made Life a Boon With Risks for Terror and Error - BusinessWeek: "July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Government regulation is needed to oversee the fast-developing synthetic biology industry, said two pioneers in the field, Harvard scientist George Church and genome researcher Craig Venter.
The ability of scientists to modify bacteria and other organisms by adding designer gene sequences may lead to faster flu vaccines and carbon-free fuels, Church and other scientists told a presidential bioethics commission meeting today in Washington. In the hands of criminals or terrorists, the technology may yield dangerous viruses or drug-resistant bacteria, a risk the FBI is monitoring.
The expansion of synthetic biology in recent years may let scientists create biofuels that reduce global warming and make cheaper and more effective drugs. Federal oversight is needed to keep track of how the science is being used and by whom to prevent the deliberate or inadvertent release of dangerous material, said Church, a genetics professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston."

SurvivalBlog.com: Food Storage & Cooking Archives: "In the event of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) burst 250 miles above Kansas or a super solar flare, the loss of the electrical grid would stop almost all food production and importation in the USA. Some estimate there is, at any given time, more than 1,000 pounds per capita of food in consumable form available in the USA. Unfortunately, it is very poorly distributed and will not be available to the populace in a “Grid Down” scenario. So the question is then, if you personally have not stored at least a three years supply of food per person (and, no, a one year supply just won’t due), “How long can you live on a zero calorie diet”?"

‘Biocentrism’: How life creates the universe - Technology & science - Science - msnbc.com

‘Biocentrism’: How life creates the universe - Technology & science - Science - msnbc.com: "In the past few decades, major puzzles of mainstream science have forced a re-evaluation of the nature of the universe that goes far beyond anything we could have imagined. A more accurate understanding of the world requires that we consider it biologically centered. It’s a simple but amazing concept that Biocentrism attempts to clarify: Life creates the universe, instead of the other way around. Understanding this more fully yields answers to several long-held puzzles. This new model — combining physics and biology instead of keeping them separate, and putting observers firmly into the equation — is called biocentrism. Its necessity is driven in part by the ongoing attempts to create an overarching view, a theory of everything. Such efforts have now stretched for decades, without much success except as a way of financially facilitating the careers of theoreticians and graduate students."

America's Masonic Foundations | TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History

America's Masonic Foundations | TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History: "In 1897, an American army officer named Charles Totten wrote “there are mysteries connected with the birth of this Republic.” Totten had been investigating the strange iconography of the Great Seal of the United States, and through his research became convinced that the birth of the American nation could be related to the vision of Francis Bacon’s The New Atlantis, who provided some financial support for the early Virginia colony. Totten’s remark is, surprisingly, somewhat of an understatement."

The BP/Government police state - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com: "The very idea that government officials are acting as agents of BP (of all companies) in what clearly seem to be unconstitutional acts to intimidate and impede the media is infuriating. Obviously, the U.S. Government and BP share the same interest -- preventing the public from knowing the magnitude of the spill and the inadequacy of the clean-up efforts -- but this creepy police state behavior is intolerable."

Wall Street Apocalypse: The World of the Doomsday Investors - DailyFinance: "Predictions of the end of civilization are nothing new, but the direst prognosticators have, traditionally, existed on the fringes of society, where their dark visions can be comfortably attributed to an excess of libertarianism or a shortage of Prozac.

In the last few years, however, something strange has happened. While there is no lack of survivalists stockpiling cat food and rifles, some of the direst thinkers are now working on Wall Street, where a combination of fear and foresight has many of the country's money men contemplating their escape routes."

Dow Repeats Great Depression Pattern: Charts - CNBC: "The Dow Jones Industrial Average is repeating a pattern that appeared just before markets fell during the Great Depression, Daryl Guppy, CEO at Guppytraders.com, told CNBC Monday.

“Those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it…there was a head and shoulders pattern that developed before the Depression in 1929, then with the recovery in 1930 we had another head and shoulders pattern that preceded a fall in the market, and in the current Dow situation we see an exact repeat of that environment,” Guppy said."

Artificial life: let the people decide - opinion - 01 July 2010 - New Scientist: "LAST month, Craig Venter and his team put synthetic biology centre stage when they created 'artificial life'. They stitched together a genome from small stretches of DNA and transplanted it into a cell, which then started replicating.

'Synthia' is an important advance. But, like claims that genetically modified crops would quickly feed the world, the hype over synthetic biology may tempt governments to divert scarce resources from technologies that are already proven. The claims for 'synbio' include the possibility of generating organisms able to halt climate change by absorbing excess carbon. All in the name of a public effectively excluded from setting goals for research."

Zoo plans to bring rare animals back from the dead - life - 30 June 2010 - New Scientist

Zoo plans to bring rare animals back from the dead - life - 30 June 2010 - New Scientist: "TAKE frozen cells from a dead animal, reprogram them to become sperm and eggs, then use these to bring endangered species back from the brink.

That's the aim of a collaboration between the San Diego zoo and The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. At the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research in San Francisco last week, Inbar Friedrich Ben-Nun and Jeanne Loring of Scripps described how they have created induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from the frozen skin cells of a deceased male drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus), an endangered monkey found in Nigeria, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.

The team's long-term goal is to coax iPS cells into becoming sperm and eggs. They will be making iPS cells from tissue held by San Diego zoo's Frozen Zoo project - which has samples from some 8400 individuals representing more than 800 species. The sperm and eggs could be used in IVF treatments to add genetic diversity to captive breeding programmes. 'You could actually breed from animals that are dead,' says Loring."

Archaeologists begin dig on buried stone circle TEN times bigger than Stonehenge | Mail Online

Archaeologists begin dig on buried stone circle TEN times bigger than Stonehenge | Mail Online: "Archaeologists have begun a major dig to unearth the hidden mysteries of a buried ancient stone circle site that is ten times bigger than Stonehenge.

The enormous 4,000 year old Marden Henge, in Wiltshire, is Britain's largest prehistoric structure stretching for 10.5 hectares, the equivalent of 10 football pitches.

English Heritage is carrying out a six-week dig hoping to reveal the secrets behind the giant henge which has baffled historians for centuries.

Most of the Neolithic henge has been destroyed over the years due to farming and erosion but minor excavations in 41 years ago estimate the site to between 2,000 and 2,400BC."

Grant Lawrence--Bodhi Thunder: Looks Like UFO Alien Abductees are Right about Our Unfolding Future

Grant Lawrence--Bodhi Thunder: Looks Like UFO Alien Abductees are Right about Our Unfolding Future: "Harvard Professor John Mack, a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst, was intrigued by the number of cases in which he was finding clients reporting alien abductions. Of course, many people suffering from some form of psychosis might say they were encountering Aliens. But what Dr. Mack found was that these people reporting abductions were not insane. They were coherent, rational, and were functioning normally except that some reported stress and overwhelming fear of the abductions.

Obviously, people can and do lie about their abduction experience in order to gain attention. But Dr. Mack reported,'I've now worked with over a hundred experiencers intensively. Which involves an initial two-hour or so screening interview before I do anything else. And in case after case after case, I've been impressed with the consistency of the story, the sincerity with which people tell their stories, the power of feelings connected with this, the self-doubt—all the appropriate responses that these people have to their experiences.'"
