“Hey, everybody. I just got an article accepted at PopMatters.com. I’m really excited, this is the biggest exposure my writing has ever gotten, they get like a million unique hits a month. It’s ostensibly an article reviewing ‘The Hunger Games’ but it’s about much more than that. It’s called ‘Dr. Caligari’s Hunger Games’ and I’ll let you know when it goes up on the site. Let me know what you think when you see it.”

“My son used to believe that he could look at a plane in flight and make it explode in midair by simply thinking it. He believed, at thirteen, that the border between himself and the world was thin and porous enough to allow him to affect the course of events. An aircraft in flight was a provocation too strong to ignore. He’d watch a plane gaining altitude after taking off from Sky Harbor and he’d sense an element of catastrophe tacit in the very fact of a flying object filled with people. He was sensitive to the most incidental stimulus and he thought he could feel the object itself yearning to burst. All he had to do was wish the fiery image into his mind and the plane would ignite and shatter. His sister used to tell him, Go ahead, blow it up, let me see you take that plane out of the sky with all two hundred people aboard, and it scared him to hear someone talk this way and it scared her too because she wasn’t completely convinced he could not do it. It’s the special skill of an adolescent to imagine the end of the world as an adjunct to his own discontent. But Jeff got older and lost interest and conviction. He lost the paradoxical gift for being separate and alone and yet intimately connected, mind-wired to distant things.”

Is it time we got over the taboo against human enhancement?

Is it time we got over the taboo against human enhancement?:

Slate writer Will Oremus has put together a fairly revealing article about how easy itâ??s becoming to supercharge our brains, prompting him to wonder why thereâ??s still so much push-back against the idea of technologically enhancing ourselves.

What happens when you upgrade a machine that does everything you need it to, and you do nothing important or meaningful with the machine?

“All I want to do with it is read and drink coffee. I don’t need an upgrade.”
