The world’s only one man media empire
In a world where computers are creating content, from text to images, video, even writing songs, can they rightly be considered artists, or is there still something that makes humans unique? Today’s Artificial Intelligence software can create new things, generating content that has never been produced before, from the written word to pictures, videos, even… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence, the nature of creativity, and the difference between humans and machines
As a child, did you ever think to yourself that you’ll never stop playing with toys or you’ll never like a member of the opposite sex whatever the adults say? If so, do you remember when and why you changed your mind? The question is oddly impossible to answer. Childhood is a wonderfully weird thing,… Continue reading Why do humans have to grow up rather than emerge from a cocoon like butterflies?
Though the scientific establishment doesn’t yet know my name, I have produced four papers that will fundamentally alter our understanding of reality for more than a century, resulting in a period unequaled in all of science. I am Albert Einstein at the end of 1905, what is known as the miracle year in science, the… Continue reading I am Albert Einstein at the end of 1905, what is known as the miracle year in science, the “annus mirabilis”
Like a human with two sides to their personality, the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I behave like a wave in some cases, for example, when I am cruising across the universe, and like a solid object in others, literally a tiny, massless ball of light known as a photon. I am a beam… Continue reading I am a beam of light traveling from a distant star
Last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed a historian who claimed the legendary Prime Minister was the chief villain in World War II, more responsible for the war than Hitler. Previously, progressives condemned him as a racist retrograde, nor is Churchill alone. The incessant need to continually re-evaluate the past infects both the left and increasingly the… Continue reading Winston Churchill and our modern fetish with ankle-biting
Oppenheimer broke laws, was not investigated for any crime or formally charged with one, and yet he was subject to every type of surveillance imaginable at the time. The output of this effort ran to thousands of pages and the contents were frequently used to issue false statements as part of coordinated smear campaign implicitly… Continue reading Oppenheimer and the FBI’s long history of both spying and lying to destroy political dissidents
There are always going to people who have things you don’t, whether by birth or achievement. There is value instead in being grounded – knowing who you are, what you are capable of, your strengths and weaknesses and the like. The Bulimia Project recently asked three Artificial Intelligence Image Generators to create their vision of… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Beauty standards are supposed to be unrealistic, that’s the point
The anthropic principle cannot be solved by proposing the existence of simulated or alternative universes. Indeed, it needs no solution at all, but that hasn’t prevented scientists from wandering far afield in search of an answer without a real question. At least this time they claim there’s an experiment that could prove it… Once upon… Continue reading No, we are most certainly not living in a simulation out of The Matrix
The Boss’ new album will be composed of entirely culturally appropriated songs, a collection of “soul music” covers, but that is inherently a good thing. Harold Bloom’s seminal The Anxiety of Influence reveals why all art, if not all ideas entirely, can be seen as the product of cultural appropriation. Bruce Springsteen is just the… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen and the artistic necessity of cultural appropriation
Few theories are safe if Big Bang proponents cannot explain why the early universe looks nothing like they claimed. Dark Energy is no longer necessary. Light no longer moves at a constant speed. Einstein’s great theories are incomplete. Black holes might not exist. Time itself is fundamentally different than we believed, and this might be… Continue reading The Big Bang’s pending implosion will upend almost all of physics
