Relationship Communication

Relationship Communication - Relationships are easy in the beginning.

…I read this blog entry and it’s too much information for me let’s just talk about the relationships being easy part.
Why does it have to be easy anyway?
First of all, if something is easy it’s usually not worth all that much.
A more honest way to look at it would be to say that relationships take a lot of effort, Is it worth it?
So, right away you are thinking, How much effort are we taking about here?
Well, it depends on what you want to end up with. If you put a little into your relationship then that’s what you will get out, a little.
The Martian dream is that a relationship is like a bicycle that once you get it going, you don’t have to keep pedaling, you can just keep riding forever without effort. That metaphor describes both a bicycle and a relationship that are going downhill.

Name me a single religion in the entirety of the human race that did NOT become an autocratic force systematically surpressing not only those that are of a different creed, but it’s own followers. (depending on it’s penetration and wealth of course, some only manage to get a small number of followers to destroy EX: the Branch Davidians, Jim Jones ETC. As opposed to the ones that get to harm millions, EX: Judaism, Christianity, Islam)
Does it cause these problems? No they arise from our inability to…

Mind-reading headsets will change your brain

In the coming months, cheap headsets that let you control technology with the electrical signals generated by your firing neurons will go on sale to the general public. Our relationship with technology – and our brains – will never be the same again.

…I don’t think the main use in games will be control, as joysticks and pads do a decent job of this already. Also, I think it might be tiresome to make your mind think a certain way just to control something. But detecting mood might serve to adjust facial expressions of online avatars. Also, having the game respond to one’s emotions might draw one further into the game as there will be in game benefit to letting yourself actually feel emotions in response to game scenarios. Imagine non player characters reacting to your emotions the way a real person might react to your body language….

To see the full map of relationships among scientific paradigms, click here or on the image below. Note: The map is a large (8.7 MB) file and may take a while to download.

…node proximity and darker links indicate how many papers are shared between two paradigms. Flowing labels list common words unique to each paradigm, large labels general areas of scientific inquiry.

Information Esthetics, an organization founded by map co-creator W. Bradford Paley, is giving away 25 x 24 prints of the Map of Science. Visit the Information Esthetics site to order a free print. (Shipping and handling are not included.)…
