Unfortunately I am unable to to figure out how to place the photo to which this text refers onto this wall. The photo appears in an issue of BYTE on Artificial Intelligence. It is a quite interesting photo in that it shows (in 1985) a scanning electron micrograph of brain cells grown in tissue culture on a Motorola 68000 (board) The center clump…[Read more]

Thanks BlueWren! I think it quite an interesting picture. It would be interesting to follow up on this. The info about the picture on page 299 doesn’t offer many leads as to who, what, when, where, or why. Well, we can guess the “why.”
Cheers.-
do you mean the disturbing picture on page 290? horrid idea!

As well … Unfortunately there are, more than likely, a number of extremely disturbing lines of research being conducted in a variety of areas. I occasionally shudder to think, given that these few examples are from 1985, what inquiry may be going on today. I am afraid that we as human beings, more often than not, forget to adequately consider…[Read more]

Hello – oops.. 2 mistakes in 1 phrase.. effectively, it’s please DO and not please Don’t.. 🙂 The state of education is an ongoing topic here, as one of Dr F’s pet peeves.. I just see it as the continuance of the Tavistock plan..

What could be more dangerous than “Symbolic Warfare”? Isn’t it the case that “Symbols” have already been weaponized and that instead of being used for truthful communication they are instead being turned on and against humanity or as Walker Percy calls us “symbol mongerers”.

I know you are not one Dana … but when a story like this breaks, as they seem to be with increasing frequency, it is interesting to see how many “Captain Renaults” there are in the world.

Hello Dana,
I agree. As one looks back at Daedalus one can see what you say to be quite true. I posted this particular piece because as a general rule I find Roszak an interesting read. And this piece, as do many in Daedalus, elicited a critical response due to his mentions of Koestler and Casteneda. I also thought in light of Dr. DeHart’s…[Read more] -

Hello Dana,
I think that he only wished to provide a quick and dirty example of symbiosis. I think your question though
quite a good one. Licklider’s example is not a comforting one. Neither the tree nor the insect is aware (as best we know) that factors external to their relationship could cause the loss or degradation of the other. The loss…[Read more] -
