Purposelessness of Existence.

https://www.quora.com/How-can-an-atheist-bear-the-purposelessness-of-existence Here is the question: How can an atheist bear the purposelessness of existence? If you are convinced that there exists nothing beyond matter that would produce meaning in the absolute sense of the word, how can you bear the mere thought of having been thrown out as just an overdeveloped animal into this bloodcurdlingly random material world filled with suffering? Here is the answer:   I’m not sure about atheists exactly but I for one have looked at “ this bloodcurdlingly random material world filled with suffering” and decided that I should help people. Does that not negate your   “Purposelessness of existence”? You see, I serve a higher power than your God, I serve humanity. Live, Love and stay WILD my friends

The Bohemian Millennium

If we start from scratch, fabricate a new creation mythos based on our current understanding of science and the manifestations of reality which science is currently unable to understand.  What are the tenets of our new, enlightened millennium?

The Perception of Transitive Temporal Anomalies in Humans

In order to make this thesis as relatable as possible I shall include (when available) links to further reading on the terms discussed. ( Wikipedia ) The neutrino has a resting or invariant mass near zero, so close in fact that it was assumed to be zero (as my father used to say “as close as shit is to damn”) but they won’t be found at rest very often.   I like to call them the “ADHD Particle” because they’re hyperactive and they can't seem to figure out who they are. You see neutrinos come in different lepton flavors (genders?) and they tend to transition from one to another in ways we don’t fully understand as of yet. The proof of this fact at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Canada leads to the conclusion that neutrinos do in fact have mass. Flavors are not, however, important to this missive as it can be assumed that transitioning from one flavor to another would not alter the basic nature of the neutrino i.e. they possess invariant mass. Now, since ne...

Watching the World Turn

Hours of preparation, booking, planning, packing. Three hours of driving and traffic jams followed by an hour of paddling and a mile of portage and tomorrow I'll do it all again on the way home. You might ask if it's worth the trouble just to sit on a rock by the water's edge and watch the world turn. The leaves have turned and float on breezes, a fire red maple and a golden oak back lit by the passing sun frame my view, blue sky with fluffy clouds reflected on deep, dark water. The day greeted me with bright sunshine sparkling across the rippling lake but as the sun passed to afternoon a calm set in and smoothed the surface near glass. The life around the lake appeared for me as if to put on a show, a flock of ducks broke the stillness with the thrumming of their wings, a little later a beaver crossed the still water leaving a glimmering V shaped wake. The bushes rustled with squirrels and chipmunks and sang with many birds, woodpeckers tapped and chickadees flitted ...

The Code

The thing that I'd like to talk about and hopefully get some feedback on is the QR code and it's use in marketing. QR, for quick response, is the symbol you see from time to time on posters and in ads which can be scanned by a phone or tablet in order to open a web page. They have many industrial uses due to the amount of information they can pack into a small space but it's marketing that concerns me at this time. QR codes have been the subject of a great deal of both hype and conjecture in the past 5 years from being hailed as the future of marketing to yesterday's news. I think that the truth may still be somewhere in the middle. I'll say now that I'm a believer in the technology and what it can bring to the table if used well and there are several reasons why I think it can make a comeback. The foremost complaint I've heard about the QR experience is that the resulting page is not optimized for the mobile device. Today, with the use of HTML5 and man...
