 Out of sci-fi books into reality
Weird shit all around. Technology is reaching a point where it's progress will become exponential. This point in time is known as the Technological singularity. There are different definitions of this point but let me just say that it's NOT only about artificial intelligence. In my eyes, just curing ageing is reaching singularity - such advance will change the face of our civilization without recognition? Yes. It will mean exponential in all other areas of science? Yes, you have all the time in the world. I'm pretty sure that a lot of things would change in our society allowing science to advance smoother because of slowing down factors would be taken out.
Another thing I want to say about awareness. PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO WAKE UP. We already have technology that is straight out of sci-fi books so instead of all day around spending your time doing nothing and complaining about why the world sucks, how about doing something, anything. There has to be better implementation in all fields and legislation and that can only be done of people are aware of the possibilities we have.
Your probably asking what can be done about this. This progress will be made with our attention or without so what does it matter, right?
Well, wrong. Some tech is more crucial than the other for instance and in order to get the right tech promoted the public has to ask for it. Merely talking about it is promoting it. Not to mention that each and everyone one benefits from just knowing this kind of info because it could be useful at one point or the other and trust me, you wouldn't have to wait to long with the rate of how things are going now.

Why Dali is Overrated
Salvador Dali (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989)
They didn't call Salvador Dali "Avida Dollars" for nothing. "Avida Dollars" is an anagram for Salvador Dali meaning "hungry for cash" (Remember Lord Voldermort is an anagram for Tom Marvolo Riddle?). This attribute of his is most prominent after he moved to New-York City at the time of World War II. Dali was full of himself and didn't deny it. He loved being the spotlights and pursued attention through many provocations. One example of such provocation was the writing on Dali's piece "The sacred Heart" saying "Sometimes I Spit with Pleasure on the Portrait of my Mother". That was really weird seeing how Dali's mother passed away by that time and Dali and his mother had a very close relationship. Well, his father probably didn't understand art seeing as how he disowned Dali and threw him out of the house. But maybe Dali was simply misunderstood because he was a holy genius apparently. Dali left a small note for the world saying: "Every morning upon awakening, I experience a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dalí, and I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today, this Salvador Dalí." Might be every homeless man I hear proclaim himself holy, be also a genius artist?
Don't get me wrong. I love some of Dali's works and I grew up on his melting clocks and long legged elephants. It's just that there are a lot of skeletons hidden in Dali's closet not being mentioned through the media. You only hear citations Dali himself used. Why should such a person be promoted if not only he was obnoxious and there were many other artists who were no worse than Dali? See Max Ernst works for instance. The only difference there is between Ernst and Dali is that Dali more famous.

Le Planet Sauvage
Brought you some cool stuff to check out on the weekend.
The film is chiefly noted for its surreal imagery, the work of French writer and artist Roland Topor. The landscape of the Traag planet is full of strange creatures, including a cackling predator which traps small fluttering animals in its cage-like nose, shakes them to death and hurls them to the ground. The Traag practice of meditation, whereby they commune psychically with each other and with different species, is shown in transformations of their shape and interaction of science and superstition is most apparent in the Wizard, who resists the knowledge that Terr brings, fearing it will erode the power he maintains. Knowledge trumps ignorance, but in this case only after surviving an attempted 's drive to share knowledge overpowers the fear of an unknown people. Only his courage to save others not of his adopted tribe allows that tribe to overcome the loss of their Traags and Oms finally learn to live in peace and mutual benefit; presumably any groups can if they and their leaders really want to. This may have been a theme favoured by the filmmakers as it was made and released during the Cold War (the source novel was first published in 1957).

Zeitgeist : Moving Forward
"Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" is the third installment of Peter Joseph's Zeitgeist film trilogy. The film draws light on humanity's irrationality towards world economy. This is probably the root of all evil - our nonsensical obsession with money and power.Take a seat. Get focused. Watch and think.

Choices
I don't think it's weird to feel lost at one point in life or another. Would you call yourself a determined person, that knows what he wants in life? Do you succeed in getting those goals? Or would you say that you don't know where you want to end up in your life nor what you want? Do you eventually find your way? Our decisions are what makes us us. Day in, day out you are making decisions whether you are making them consciously or "going with the flow". "Going with the flow" is making a decision just as much as making a conscious decision. There is a certain point in life ( It changes from country to country according to it's customs and laws) where you wrongly announce "I am finally old enough and free to act as I will. Now my life begins." It is a mistake to suppose so. You begin to live from the moment you are born and day to day, you are making decisions that make up your life and reflect inwards and outwards. I wouldn't say that otherwise your time has been wasted. In some way it's alright because everyone has his own pace and you can always change NOW, right THIS SECOND. It's only a shame if a critical mistake has been made then it's truly a shame. Yes, there are situations where there is no coming back from. You know what's the right thing to do. Everybody knows what's the right thing to do even if not at first. All it takes is courage to face yourself and tell yourself the truth. If you're not sure, be sure because nobody is you no matter how similar another person could be to you. You know yourself best because you are you. Don't mind the obstacles because there are always obstacles. Life is too complex for there not to be obstacles.
