My Brain Wishes to Hurt YoursThis is an old fashion Foolsfolly Linkin' Journal.So prepare for a blitz of ideas. Let's start off with horrible horrible evil science and the fun that is paradoxes as only real life can provide. The Large Hadron Collider is back baby! And this time it's personal....it's going to test a wild and crazy idea that may be a huge fun breakthrough in science and a fun reason to commit suicide. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather. YES! The Collider's failure is failing because it must fail because there is an absolute FATE to everything and thus your life is meaningless. If somehow proven true then this would hold to the idea that time IS that the past, present, and future are there in its definite and finite glory and only our minds are perceiving it in any other way. It also kinda kills the concept of time travel because the universe/fate/Green Lantern will kill you if you tried to change the universe. ...unless you're meant to time travel....then....your head a-slode. Moving on, Moving on. Let's take things down a notch, here's Susannah Breslin as she delves into the world of porn and writes probably the best things about it as an industry ever. EVER. I'm enjoying it. Note it's rather sad: Over the next ten minutes, he threatens to beat her, threatens to torture her, pulls up her shirt, pulls up her skirt, hits her breasts, hits her thighs, throttles her by the neck with both hands, humiliates her, degrades her, makes her cry, chokes her until she is gasping for air. He gets her to tell the camera she is 27 years old and the only reason she’s here doing this particular job on this particularly day in this particular hotel room in the Valley is for the money, and the fact of the matter is she has two young children to support, of whom the man asks rhetorically, and seemingly for the sole purpose of screwing with her head, “They’re going to grow up to be proud of her, right?” Moving on, Moving on. British scientists develop 'brain to brain communication'. Which is being harolded as the next internet. Going back a step, think of the porn in that future! And think about the children! Moving on, Moving on. Thousands of Venezuelans congregated for candlelit rituals on a remote mountainside where adherents make an annual pilgrimage to pay homage to an indigenous goddess known as Maria Lionza. Moving on, Moving on. The fashion police on Doctor Who's new outfit. Moving on, Moving on. 'Magnetic electricity' discovered Researchers have discovered a magnetic equivalent to electricity: single magnetic charges that can behave and interact like electrical ones. This will be used as storage and for faster processing speeds for your gaming rig. Moving on, Moving on. Why Time Travel MIGHT be real. Moving on, Moving on. A survey of 16 to 24 year olds has found that 75% of them feel they "couldn't live" without the internet. It's a new age, people. And one that's going to get signifacantly weirder. But isn't it amazing at the progressing we've made in such a short time. And isn't it more amazing at what it looks like we'll be getting into in a short matter of time? These are exciting times to live in and they're effects on the human psyche and mind will not be seen for a while. But it seems less hopeful then you'd imagine. What is it we're building towards and how does the general public see this? We're mastering forces of science and tech our grandparents never could have dreamed of. "For young people the internet is part of the fabric of their world and does not exist in isolation from the physical world," I totally agree. Our own conscious is now split in another direction yet it's no less or more real than anything else. Were I to get existential (you were, you were), all reality is is our perceptions and the internet is just another thing we perceive. But I don't think it's all roses and happiness. I think one thing worth noting is that when you're funny in a class room of 20 people, you're famous. When you're online with millions of others, some funnier and some not, then you begin to feel...less. And if I reach farther back in this journal, we hit that big ole fate thing again. ...I won't talk more. My brain is still lapping up the juices of the internet. Thanks for Reading. |
