The Zero Sum Universe
If you’ve followed along till this point you’ve seen how the comparison of human interaction in society can divulge into a comparative analysis of quantum mechanics and general relativity, this is because in order to discuss humanity, we must look at the system in which it functions totally and that typical social constraints aren’t big…
The Human Computer
disclaimer: this article assumes some previous knowledge from the reader but still should be interpretive enough to have a wider understanding/appeal. points if you get the irony of this statement at the end 😉 Continuing the series about the intersection of blockchain technology and reality, we turn to focus on humanity.we start with a theme,…
Universal Computing
In past articles, I’ve liked to speculate about complex sentient society acts like a particle; but now it’s time to look at the ‘machine’ in which allows for this to happen and how it operates, starting with the fundamental laws of physics which act like programming over the configuration of the universe. In order to…
The rules for genetic modification
How we protect ourselves, from ourselves The human genome project was a momentous feat of human engineering, in the years since, we’ve only just started to tap into the deeply complex work of decoding use and understanding the interconnection of our own DNA. When we consider the real-world examples of genetic manipulation and design, the ethical and…
Why Cities?
You might be wondering, what’s the deal with cities? Why are they the focus? Why are they important? “Today, 54 per cent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66 per cent by 2050. Projections show that urbanization combined with the overall growth of the world’s…
If our society is a particle, what about the possibilities of other civilizations?
Beyond the Society Particle: The standards of the cosmic collective As we’ve observed in the universe from the smallest to largest scale of matter, the physical realm of it tends to fall into predictable patterns: from liquid, solid and gas, stars form, blackholes erupt and planets are a dime a dozen. The binary structure of…
Why Space Colonization should be a Social Endeavour
Understanding that human capability to travel through space is an ever increasing field. A field that’s now fuelled by commercial ventures like SpaceX, it now becomes important to have a social discussion about the ethical ramifications of space travel on earth and society. Traveling to the unknown frontiers of Mars or some other planet will…
Wanna fix the world? Fix the UN
The policies of an ever increasingly interconnected planet In the rise of global populism and a seemingly general public consensus that the current economic system only benefits the global elites, there are several collective steps we can take to reclaim the prospects of real social change. Real change starts in changing the way we act,…
Why race isn’t a thing but racial identity is
How the concepts of race shape our world, our lives, and what to do to move past it Not to fully repeat my previous post about race; but build on it as a deeper assessment. Race as we see it: differences in skin pigment, hair types and other aesthetic features, are result of genetic mutations and…
Change, Time and Morality in the ‘Society Particle’
Part 4 of the Physics of Society Why are we most likely as a society a wave packet instead of a line? When you look at the ‘society particle’ traveling through the medium of a contextual vacuum (community + environment + linear progression of time = reality), there are some concepts that apply to our…
Branding: a model for synergistic and creative city planning
Research Question: Does branding offer a methodological framework to creating innovative planning solutions for cities? When assessing the development of ‘creative cities’ there persist a common theme of the development of branding principles to create successful reimagining of the social, economic, environmental and creative realm of cities around the world. The concept of global branding…
Why we want AI to be Communist
A Look at the Future of Governance in an increasing connected world Communism — a dirty word in most developed “democratic” nations, but with increased investment in AI and the progress that’s happening in the field, we should all hope for a communist AI system. Personally, I think it’s kinda pathetic that humanity will have…
The Society Particle — Examining the Waves End
Part 3 of the Physics of Society Recently I’ve been fascinated by the idea of a ‘society particle’ so I’ll be writing about it from various dimensions. Today, we combine the wavelength observation experiment and how it applies to civilization as we observe it. This is a larger scale take and I’ll double back on…
The Physics of Society
Part 2 of the Physics of Society In order to fully complete the ideas presented in my previous post about the application and unification of physics in society, I have selected four elements that need to be explained further: Medium, Conservation of Action, Entanglement of Context and State of Equilibrium. Each when applied to society…
Why Aliens Think We’re Dumb
Part 1 of the Physics of Society Personally, I like talking about aliens, not the “take me to your leader” type of thing. I just don’t hold reserves to the prospect of life outside this blue speck, so I’ll use alien as a perspective while I explain the idea of quantum mechanics and life. Between…
“The Circle” Society
This is not about the foreshadowing of humanity by the upcoming Emma Watson + Tom Hanks flick by the same name, and the trajectory Facebook. I know there’s a book too but watch the trailer and tell me that wasn’t facebook-ish, I mean thematically. Mark Zuckerberg’s seems to be talking about running for president, you…
The Stigma with Stigma
The thing about stigma is that regardless of what is it, it is only stigmatized because it is different. The thing about stigma is that in many cases, its the resistance to change and differences that are perfectly normal. We call stigmatized things that we ourselves don’t understand or cannot relate to, abnormal and unnatural,…
Why Ideological Nomenclature is Destructive to Free Thought and Society
The way we construct our classification of ideas is an important way to distinguish and understand the breadth of mechanisms and values that they encompass. However, there are many ways in which this is harmful to the development of new interpretations and perpetuation of old ideological concepts and stances. The main reason that this is…
The Fermi Paradox & The Real Reason we think were Alone
The Fermi paradox or Fermi’s paradox, named after physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probabilityestimates, e.g., those given by the Drake equation, for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. The basic points of the argument, made by physicistsEnrico Fermi (1901–1954) and Michael H. Hart (born 1932), are: • There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are similar to the Sun,…
Religion as a Tool for Division
So far we’ve looked at three key aspects that constrict our society: race, money, and nations but another key aspect that has both shaped our society is religion. Now before you start getting heated that this is some atheist rant, I don’t care what you believe in. Personally, I believe that we are an abstraction…
How to Master our Solar System
Aswe develop as a civilization, the need for energy correlates with the growth in population and technology. There are many ways to accommodate this need as we poise our growth to develop up the Kardashev scale. It’s worth noting that unsustainable population growth is linked to social inequality and that a civilization moving up the…
Why Homelessness is an Everybody Problem, Not Their Problem
Social Contract, the Idea of Society and the Responsibility of Cooperative Living When we form a society, we really are simply creating a network of interdependence for the means of mutual survival. We base the framework of this creation on the common values of the social members and make it flexible to the shifting ideology…
If what we value defines us… Why are most of us blind?
Picking at pieces of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in a Practical Application of Value Relationships Relationships are in many ways the most important things that we value, they create us, provide for us and support us. Humans are social animals and the interconnection of our communities have allowed to access our individual experiences to tackle…
Why is Sex so Taboo?
Personally, I love Sex. It’s fucking fantastic, But why is sex such a taboo social topic? Education and Exposure. The way we learn about sex and how we first have it, speak volumes to why we don’t want to talk about it and how we react when we do. Sexual Education is a spotty situation; I could…
Why God Would Never Save Humanity
Before I start let me focus our topic, most religions are surrounded around a concept of an omnipresent god like the one discussed in this crash course video: The real issue is divine interventions into our lives. The prophets that shaped most modern monotheisms: Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad, have been deluded by time. When we…
We Created Cheaters, Stop Letting Them Kill our Planet
Population Game Theory Ifwe are to understand why our planet is teetering on the edge of collapse, we have to look at the population game theory used by Richard Dawkins in explaining cellular evolution. He used the argument for reproduction and population success by linking it to the distribution or as I like to say…
Let Food be thy Medicine
(and fix a tonne of other things too) The Food Connection The production of food is a great past time, it allows us to connect to nature and become more aware of where our food comes from. local food is a rising shift in food culture. Urban agriculture is on a rise in cities across…
Our soon to be Jobless Society
Understanding the shifts in technology and labour distribution it becomes an apparent fact, that a time when most of the population won’t have jobs is inevitable. It’s how we reach this point, that’s is important. From developed nations, who are losing their industrial job base for service jobs and a small pool of high skilled…
Everything is Awesome!
Perspective In a previous post, I defined personality as the way in which we seek happiness, without fully expressing the complexity of the statement. When exploring the concept of why everything is awesome, its not the superficial lists that we see of things that we all enjoy, but the deeper idea of what makes life…
Moving Past Nation States in the 21st Century
Part 2/2 on the State of the “Nation” Trade and Commerce In Part 1/2, I mentioned the modern and historical manifestation of resource extraction as a means of instigating and justifying war, but trade through cooperation or force is a common pattern. which has shaped the progression of national identities. Be it the imperialist-era that saw…
