  1. Human Legacy And The Preservation Of Knowledge

    The preservation of digital information is a problem that humans have tried to combat ever since the internet’s inception. There’s the Internet Archive, IPFS (Inter Planetary File System), and other various attempts to figure out how to preserve what we do, but the very concept of preservation is itself a difficult task. How do we humans ensure that our knowledge, or at least our ways of thinking about the world, is passed on to future generations, and can that knowledge last in […]

  3. Just Because We Can, Doesn’t Mean We Should

    I like to keep up to date on what’s going on with our current twin tech pillars of the “space race” and the “A.I. race”. There hasn’t really been any significant technological breakthroughs that have captured the popular imagination quite like these since the advent of the internet in the 1990’s. On the one hand, it’s very exciting to think about colonising the Moon and Mars, and then going off into the unknown. Likewise, it’s also exciting to think of all of the possible […]

  8. Overrated

    Daily writing prompt What’s a classic book that you think is overrated? View all responses

    You know what it is about this question that I don’t like? Obviously you don’t because why would you? Unless you’re a telepath or something which would make sense. And would be kind of cool. Are you? What I don’t like about this question is that it assumes the person answering it is not only a literary scholar or expert, but has the authority to decide and determine what we should and shouldn’t read, and why. I don’t care if it’s Janet Maslin or Roger Ebert, everything boils down to taste and personal preference (which might be the same things, I don’t know), and not to sound self-important, but I want to make those decisions myself.

    So what does this all mean? It means that while I like reading a synopsis of a book or a movie, I don’t want to read reviews or look at ratings of a book or a movie.

    Having said all that I’ll answer the question because a book just popped into my mind. I’m guessing someone out there is a telepath and put the thought there although I’m not sure how that would work because I haven’t published this blog yet. But then would that matter because the telepath would know what I’m typing here before I publish it, right?

    The book: Dune by Frank Herbert
    Why: I thought it was boring and I didn’t like Paul
