One of my MANY frustrations with the church is another in the series of adoptions of the “ways of the world” via the Mass Media Model. To stand idly by and say nothing as companies like Comcast and Time Warner monopolize the broadband market and work to prevent municipalities who have their own ideas about what would be good for Continue Reading
Ray Kurzweil’s book “The Singularity is Near” makes a long and impressive case for The Singularity , mostly on the strength of what he calls the Law of Exponential Returns, which he describes as being the case with technology, and specifically, although not exclusively, computer technology. He uses this well documented history as impetus for the idea that we Continue Reading
I saw a video interviuew with Noam Chomsky where they broached the subject of “The Singularity”, to which Chomsky reacts somewhat dismissively as “science fiction”. Which is true. It IS indeed still in the category of fiction. And Chomsky’s main concern here is that there are more pressing problems we need to solve now than some theoretical time when we Continue Reading
Occupy Religion: Theology of the Multitude Religion in the Modern World http://www.amazon.com/Occupy-Religion-Theology-Multitude-Modern-ebook/dp/B009L92XF6/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid= Just downloaded the Sample, and probably after that , the Kindle of the book. Hope I can contact this guy and do a Hangout, as well as with @nathanairplane (Nathan Schneider) of ” Thank You, Anarchy: Notes from the Occupy Apocalypse”
When I hear people talk about “the Singularity” (Wikipedia: “a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence will have progressed to the point of a greater-than-human intelligence, radically changing civilization, and perhaps human nature”), I think of the claim that AI will become GREATER than human intelligence and wonder what that “greater” represents in the mind of the “Singularity experiencer”. So I have Continue Reading
Looking for info on where I might find a showing of “The99percentfilm” I saw that an outfilt called “Participant Media” has the rights to it and are going to “air” it on Wednesday. With a name like that, I made the mistaken assumption that I’d be able to see it online. But no. They do the AJ America thing, Continue Reading
This is NOT what we lobbied our cable companies to carry!!!!! You left out the part we wanted. It would have been better if you had not started with Cable for your “AJ America” brand. Not if it means this. That’s the top pf the AlJazeera America Web Page It’s all about TV, as if they Continue Reading
I saw this message on an AlJazeera English page, and so I decided to look into the status of their archived video, particularly some of their excellent docu-news shows such as “Empire”. Unbelievably, they have removed access from the States to ALL of it. I am floored at the extent of their CAVING to the Cable Continue Reading
AlJazeera is NOT going to be streaming live news because the CableCos apparently make that a condition of their carrying them. It won’t be immediately profitable to you to say to these dinosaurs “Scre you , you idiots”, but you will immensely benefit from keeping on the track of doing news differently. The Arab Spring and your streaming of that Continue Reading
