Ever Dream This Man? In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life. That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist's desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life. The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc. At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man.
Carl Sagan on Pot This account was written in 1969 for publication in "Marihuana Reconsidered (1971)". Sagan was in his mid-thirties at that time. He continued to use cannabis for the rest of his life. The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before. The understanding of the intent of the artist which I can achieve when high sometimes carries over to when I'm down. Thanks Josh!
Grey goo Grey goo (also spelled gray goo) is a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating robots consume all matter on Earth while building more of themselves,[1][2] a scenario that has been called ecophagy ("eating the environment").[3] The original idea assumed machines were designed to have this capability, while popularizations have assumed that machines might somehow gain this capability by accident. Definition[edit] The term was first used by molecular nanotechnology pioneer Eric Drexler in his book Engines of Creation (1986). In Chapter 4, Engines Of Abundance, Drexler illustrates both exponential growth and inherent limits (not gray goo) by describing nanomachines that can function only if given special raw materials: Drexler describes gray goo in Chapter 11 of Engines Of Creation: Early assembler-based replicators could beat the most advanced modern organisms. Risks and precautions[edit] Ethics and chaos[edit]

Neuro Evolving Robotic Operatives Neuro-Evolving Robotic Operatives, or NERO for short, is a unique computer game that lets you play with adapting intelligent agents hands-on. Evolve your own robot army by tuning their artificial brains for challenging tasks, then pit them against your friends' teams in online competitions! New features in NERO 2.0 include an interactive game mode called territory capture, as well as a new user interface and more extensive training tools. NERO is a result of an academic research project in artificial intelligence, based on the rtNEAT algorithm. Currently, we are developing an open source successor to NERO , OpenNERO , a game platform for AI research and education. 10 Websites To Make You Think | The Online Learning Blog from Study2U Supposedly browsing the internet requires more brain power than watching television.

Now try them on, kick back, and let your subconscious get rolling.
Beer Filled From The Bottom: Video | Bottoms Up Beer Dispenser Josh Springer with the Bottoms Up Beer Dispenser. Photo: Supplied You are at a music festival waiting for a beer and there are hundreds of others waiting in front of you, all looking to get their hands on a cold beverage. This is a situation we've all likely faced once in our life at a bar, sporting event, concert or wedding. The Bottoms Up Beer Dispenser. That line you were in could get much shorter when American company GrinOn Industries begins distributing in Australia its beer dispensing machine, which fills beer in cups from the bottom up "at a rate of up to nine times that of traditional beer taps". Advertisement Founded by Josh Springer, a former manager at a company that creates neon signs like those used in Las Vegas, the invention relies on magnetic technology embedded in plastic cups. Each plastic cup has a hole in the bottom which is wide enough for a nozzle to be inserted. The technology would likely come to Australia mid-2012, he said.

The happiness conspiracy ‘The trouble with normal is it always gets worse,’ sang the Canadian guitarist Bruce Cockburn back in 1983. Seems he was on to something. Normal doesn’t seem to be working any longer. But a society of ‘happichondriacs’ isn’t necessarily a healthy sign. ‘Happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim,’ said Einstein. If we’ve become pigs at the happiness trough, it’s understandable. Other happiness blockers include materialism, perpetual discontent, over-complication, hyper-competition, stress, rage, boredom, loneliness and existential confusion. Health professionals face new epidemics of ‘hurry sickness’, ‘toxic success syndrome’, the ‘frantic family’, the ‘over-commercialized child’ and ‘pleonexia’ or out-of-control greed. We laugh only a third as often as we did 50 years ago – hence the huge popularity of laughter clubs and laughter therapy. A society’s dominant value system dictates how happiness is measured. Total satisfaction can actually be a major obstacle to happiness.
