Elgaroo's Philosophical Residues

Thought:

A Century of Spectacular Failure: As the 20th century draws to a close, every news organization in the world is publishing its lists of the greatest this and the top thats during the past 100 years. Well, fine. Everybody loves a winner, and everybody loves a list, so it makes sense. But for every "best of," there needs to be a "worst of." After all, the road to success is strewn with the miserable remains of those who failed.
Alan Sondheim: Internet Philosophy and Psychology: INTERNET TEXT is a meditation on the philosophy, psychology, political economy, and psychoanalytics of Internet (computer) communication. It focuses on virtual subjectivity, sexuality, community, and all aspects of computer interfacing.
American Scientist: Jackson and Wilcox - Spider-Eating Spiders: In the conventional view, “” function -- complex and flexible behavior, the capacity to innovate and learn -- requires the large, highly developed brains of animals such as chimpanzees and dolphins. More primitive creatures, whose behavior is commonly guided by instinct, have small, comparatively simple brains made up of relatively few neurons. A spider’s brain, for instance, fits comfortably on a pinhead, and it seems unlikely that such a small collection of neural components could organize complex and flexible behavior. Yet recent work on Portia, a genus of jumping spider, illustrates that although a spider may have a small brain, its behavior need not be simple. Portia is a versatile predator, which means that an individual animal uses a repertoire of disparate predatory tactics, each specific to different circumstances or different types of prey. We shall show that these spiders invade the webs of other spiders, where they use mimicry, detours and deception to capture the resident spider. In addition, they are capable of changing their tactics through trial and error.
Anarchy Now!: Anarchism, therefore, is a political theory that aims to create a society which is without political, economic or social hierarchies. Anarchists maintain that anarchy, the absence of rulers, is a viable form of social system and so work for the maximisation of individual liberty and social equality. They see the goals of liberty and equality as mutually self-supporting. Or, in Bakunin's famous dictum: "We are convinced that freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality." [The Political Philosophy of Bakunin, p. 269]

DevilBunnies: After falling down a rabbit hole, you seem to have stumbled upon a whole new world. The first hint is the axe wielding man wearing a battered Stetson hat alongside a fourteen foot ferrotti, battling a horde of cute bunny rabbits. They fight valiantly, but without hope of success against the fluffy odds. In a flash of insight you realize you have fallen into the reality of: alt.devilbunnies "Follow! But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth."

Francis Su's Fair Division Page: The theory of fair division is concerned with finding ways to divide an object among n people fairly. There are many possible notions of fairness. The notion that has interested me recently is finding envy-free divisions, i.e., one in which each person feels she received the best piece, in her own estimation.

Example below.) which includes sites dealing with such topics as forteana, the paranormal, UFOs, philosophy, new science, sociology and psychology, culture and sub-culture, conspiracies, and related ideas and topics. Above all, sites must have worthy content and hopefully present information and attitude that is "unusual" or "absurd" by mainstream and even semi-mainstream definitions, in the sense that it can not realistically be pigeonholed into simplistic categories.

RE/Search Publications--The Alternative Culture Source: RE/Search Publications from V. Vale, founder of RE/Search, continues to produce cutting edge books. Regardless of topic, every RE/Search book deals with the same problems: maximizing creativity and freedom in a world whose agenda is consumerism and control. Therefore, we believe that our entire library forms an essential foundation for an expanded artistic (and darkly humorous) futuristic vision. Against irony and trivialization, V. Vale's books satisfy the curiosities of all who value independence and suspect that truly important history and culture-making is being obscured by corporate agendas flooding us with information overload. Ahead of their time, the Re/Search books' mission is to present ideas and inspiration of lasting importance and enjoyment. The range of topics is vast: punk, lounge music, swing dancing, retro culture, jazz, the Beats, self-publishing (zines), pranks, sado-masochism, torture, sword-swallowing, modern primitives, B-movies, high-tech surveillance, trepaning. Plus conversations with William S. Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Kathy Acker, Bob Flanagan, Henry Rollins, etc.

Plenty of technical information is included of course, but the main interest is in the ideas. A surprisingly amusing and silly sense of humor reccurs fairly often, especially in the headlines (Early Mammal's Jaw Lost It's Groove)

This symbol has its roots in the Middle East in ancient spiritual traditions. As we know it today, the Enneagram is a vital link between the psyche and the spirit.

Yahoo! Clubs abattoir: The time has come to draw in the reins of my inspiration and to stop for a moment along the way, as when one looks at a woman’s vagina; it is wise to look over the ground I have covered, and then, having rested my weary limbs, to soar off with a bold leap. To cover such a stretch in a single breath is by no means easy; one’s wings get very tired, flying high, without hope and without remorse... No, let us not lead any further the haggard pack of pickaxes and spades across the explosive mines of this impious song. The crocodile will not change a word of the vomitings from beneath his skull. So much the worse, if some lurking shade excited by the praiseworthy object of avenging mankind whom I have so unjustly attacked, stealthily opens the door of my room, and brushing against the wall like a sea gull’s wing, buries a dagger in the side of the plunderer of heavenly wrecks! The atoms of clay may just as well be dispersed in this way as any other. --Lautréamont from Maldoror
Zen Stories to Tell Your Neighbors: This web site is a collection of stories from the Orient, mostly Zen and Taoist tales. Why am I suggesting that you tell these stories to your neighbors? Is it because these are among the oldest stories in human history and have withstood the test of time? Is it because Zen and Taoism are ancient religions offering profound insights into human nature, the cosmos, and spirituality?... Maybe. Or maybe it's just because they are fun to tell. Without a doubt, these stories capture all sorts of truths about life and death. But they are also witty, entertaining, humorous, and at times puzzling, even mind-bending. And they are not just the secret lessons of monks sequestered away in mountain monasteries. The ancient teachers intended these stories to be used by everyone, everywhere. On the train to work, during dinner at a restaurant, leaning over the backyard fence as you talk to your neighbor - all of these situations and more lend themselves to these stories. Once you read and learn a few of them, you will see opportunities to tell them popping up everywhere with your family, friends, and coworkers. Think of these tales as conversation pieces, as handy tools that you can lift out of your pocket to help you and others talk, think, and laugh about the wondrous and mysterious details of this thing we call Life.
