This is a Goddamn Shithouse

Who is going to clean this place up! Oh, ME!

K, whenever I have time again to really devote to this blog (read: after mummy, when sleep returns to the table as a viable option to assuage exhaustion) we will have a few rules. Well, here is one now. YOUR IMAGES ARE TOO BIG. I would like to automate something so the images never get large enough to ruin the table layout, but ntil then we should resize stuff much smaller. It was I who broke this unwritten rule first with that mars rover post, so don’t think I am singling anyone out.

Second, there will be a resdesign sometime in the future. I am thinking summer, maybe after siggraph. I would do it during my vaction but I would rather walk down rivers shaded by hundred-year oaks than glue my eyeballs to yet another grid of pixels.

Third, coming up soon will be a debate post. This will be MANDATORY. Our problem is that we agree on basically everything. So we should crawl out of our reality tunnels and do some Wright-brothers style debating, where we pick something contrary to our beliefs and state it with the full power of our intellect. Here, watch this: Teaching intelligent design should bee seen as a boon to our civilization. While the intellectual class requires an understanding of evolution to function in modern scientific society, such facts will only serve to confuse and injure proponents of cultures embedded into our society. While those that need to know will figure it out eventually, the lower minded people will not be scared by any new ideas bringing forth a new age of social harmony.

See how weird that was! I don’t believe any of that. But as I was writing it I started to slip into the role of someone who does, and that was kinda cool. Brando, when will we see you again?

about


We have hit this point in modern society where the concept of truth has been blurred by both opinion, religion and science itself. If we take truth to be a measure of veracity (dur), and absolute truth as the binary projection of that (true/false), we find that there is no absolute truth in anything. There is no absolute truth in the bible, nor is there absolute truth in the Copenhagen interpretation. Right now, there are bitter battles being fought in memespace over truth. global warming is one example of this. Does it exist? I don't know, I am not a scientist and I know not to trust CFD sims. There are equal weightings of opinion on either side. So what I mean by the truth being obsolete is that consensual truth seems to have disappeared. Everyone carries a zone of personal truths with them and now that we have such incredible accesses to information, we are seeing these zones interact violently. So the concept of consensual truth is obsolete in the internet age. Is absolute truth also obsolete?
