Pour vivre dans l’espace, vivons sous terre. Les premiers colons n’ont eu d’autre choix que d’emporter avec eux leurs modules d’habitation et vivre à la surface dans ce qui ressemblait surtout à des préfabriqués. Mais les Martiens ont fini par investir le sous-sol. Une colonie souterraine martienne vue de la surface.

The Utopia Project: Kung fu and practice
http://theutopiaproj.blogspot.com/2010/12/kung-fu-and-practice.html
Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Kung fu and practice. Intriguing essay by Peimin Ni - " Kung Fu for Philosophers. Consider the protagonist of Blood as one who, having a natural charisma, learns. How to affect others. And, more deeply, consider this philosophical turn, from a metaphysical/epistemological/ontological pursuit of truth, to a more aesthetic pursuit of a kind of beauty - but beauty in the form of something done well, even a life done well. Note too the link to speech as. NASA Innovative Advanced ...

The Utopia Project: You say you want a revolution
http://theutopiaproj.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-say-you-want-revolution.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. You say you want a revolution. Joseph Skvorecky, a survivor of both Nazi and Communist regimes, is quoted:. In 1981, long before the Iron Curtain fell, Mr. Skvorecky shared a stage in Toronto with Margaret Atwood, Allen Ginsberg and others who were discussing “The Writer and Human Rights.” He said that an artist must be a reactionary, to stand out from his culture by offering “some little opposition.”. Compare, oh, say Ursula LeGuin, in "The Day Before the Revolution" (1974):.

The Utopia Project: Floating cities

Saturday, December 11, 2010. Building on Water to Combat Urban Congestion and Climate Change. By Koen Olthuis and David Keuning. A remarkably stimulating read, Float! Falls somewhere between design textbook, aquatic manifesto, and environmental exhortation to explore architecture's offshore future. Water-based urban redesign; public transportation over aquatic roadways; floating barge-farms (as well as floating prisons); maneuverable bridges; entire artificial archipelagoes. So, a start.

The Utopia Project: Decadence and depravity
http://theutopiaproj.blogspot.com/2010/12/decadence-and-depravity.html
Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Decadence has both an outside and an inside. From the outside, it's simply a condition - of resignation, self-contentment, ennui, without hope or despair. From the inside, though, it's a pose or posture - as in Wilde or Beardsley - a kind of rococo cool. Such a pose may or may not be itself a sign of genuine, or external decadence.

The Utopia Project: The Inversion illustrated
http://theutopiaproj.blogspot.com/2010/12/inversion-illustrated.html
Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Start with the Flammarion woodcut. Only think of it as, in a sense, reversed - with the figure turned around and poking his head into the real. World on the right. I know, of course, that that doesn't quite work - the point of the Inversion isn't the discovery of some other level or realm of the real, but rather the difference between discovery and construction. But note how the realm on the left might be taken as either the spiritual or. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, December 27, 2010. From Mark Dow, " Span: A Remembrance. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Plasmonic Propulsion. NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) had their 2016 symposium on August 23-25, 2016. First 20 minutes of this video is a Plasmonic propulsion concept. The paradox of the flawless record. If your work has never been criticized, it's unlikely you have any work. Creating work is the point, though, which means that in order to do something that.

The Utopia Project: Liberal guilt
http://theutopiaproj.blogspot.com/2010/12/liberal-guilt.html
Tuesday, December 14, 2010. A pervasive theme in Elementory. Guilt, on the other hand, is a free-floating, self-generating phenomenon, kind of like what happens to a flywheel when its load is removed. (But also consider Trillings' comment re: Freud, that his resort to a "death instinct" stemmed from a desire to find a source of moral gravity again, in the absence of religion; both metaphors, however - flywheel and gravity - may operate here.). Let's say that such guilt constitutes a theme of Elementory.

Senator McCain is asking the President to delay the space shuttle retirement in order to help America avoid dependence upon Russia during "the gap.". McCain, Hutchison and Vitter, in their letter to Bush, wrote that Russia's actions "raised new questions about the wisdom of providing" the exemption the White House seeks from a provision in the Iran, North Korea, Syria Non...
