    Of Luddites, Learning, and Life

    Quoted: ...the information-giving function of the schools was rendered obsolete a long time ago...one of the principal functions of school is to teach children how to behave in groups...We have ample evidence that it takes many years of teaching these values in school before they have been accepted and internalized. Some would say that this function of schooling is the most difficult task educators must achieve. If it is not, then the function of providing the young with narratives that help them to find purpose and meaning in learning and life surely is.

    Inevitable Minds

    Kevin Kelly argues that all living things have minds, that human-like minds have evolved independently several times, and that perhaps minds evolve inevitably wherever there's life. Then he points out that technology is already creating billions of tiny "minds", and they're constantly getting smarter and more human-like.

    Picture shows how we'd look, had we evolved from dinosaurs.

    The Beautiful, Scary Robots of Shigeo Hirose

    Is Japan beating the U.S. in the "robot race"? Is that more important than the space race?

    Quoted: There are plenty of robot builders, but none bring as much elegance to engineering as Shigeo Hirose...this guy seems to know that the real fuel of robotic development is a careful combination of humor and fear.

    Wall Street on the Tundra

    Incredible story; great mix of personal insight and historical perspective. Read this and you'll want to tell people about it too.

    Quoted: Iceland’s de facto bankruptcy—its currency (the krona) is kaput, its debt is 850 percent of G.D.P., its people are hoarding food and cash and blowing up their new Range Rovers for the insurance—resulted from a stunning collective madness.

    The Technium: The Unabomber Was Right

    An interesting perspective.

    Quoted: Ted Kaczynski, the convicted bomber who blew up dozens of technophilic professionals, was right about one thing: technology has its own agenda. The technium is not, as most people think, a series of individual artifacts and gadgets for sale. Rather, Kaczynski, speaking as the Unabomber, argued that technology is a dynamic holistic system. It is not mere hardware; rather it is more akin to an organism.
