The Internet seems to be mimicking the human brain; a network of connections between nodes (humans) that is evolving and refining itself. Are we trying to create a virtual mind the size of Earth? Once that brain exists, will it try to connect with other nodes (planets) in our solar system; sharing information and shedding [...]

I was sitting in a car today, spying on terrorists… or maybe I was waiting for my girlfriend to come out of the shops, it all depends on which one of us you asked. I started to wonder what was inside my realm of reality. The street sign was real, but the way that the [...]

I admit it, I am addicted to checking my Facebook page daily, if not on an hourly basis. It’s just so instantly rewarding… but in the depths of my mind, I can feel a swell of pity every time I log on. It’s the part of me that wonders why I find these status updates [...]

If you work too much, it can feel like you’re not taking enough time to enjoy the pleasures of life. And conversely, if you sit in a hammock for too long, it can feel like you’re letting life pass you by without actually achieving anything of any importance. It seems as though whatever you choose [...]

It seems that we humans, as a species are concerned with defined results. Yes or no, on or off, yin or yang… etc. I suspect this is a knock on effect on the way our particles work at a subatomic level, how either something will exist in a particular state, or it doesn’t exist. But then [...]

If I stepped into my magical time machine wearing my only green t-shirt, and went back to the time when I bought the shirt and killed myself…. The question that I ask to you is… what colour t-shirt would I be wearing whilst I was hanging about at the crime scene with my dead self? [...]

In a my previous entry Searching for Passion, I propsed that passion was created by a continuous stream of reward. If this was the case, this would mean that one could become passionate from simply seeking out reward for whatever you wanted as a goal. In practise though, the world we live in doesn’t always [...]

I was going to write an article about the benefits and drawbacks of being a Facebook user, with the ultimate goal of making a decision on whether to keep my account, or delete it. Interestingly enough, why are they the only two options that I am willing to consider, does living in a world of [...]

Over time, we develop the thought patterns in our minds so that we can be more efficient. For instance, if a vicious looking creature comes running at us with it’s teeth and claws brandished, it would probably serve us to have already decided what to do about this situation a few seconds before we noticed [...]

When most people think of the word Selfish, I would imagine that they see it as having mostly negative connotations; “Stop being so selfish”… “You are such a selfish person”.. etc. But what does it mean to be a selfish person? I see ‘being selfish’ as a way to describe the motivation behind a person’s [...]
