“A lot of people are probably like, “No way, I’m not turning myself into a cyborg!”. But the joke’s on you: Cyborgs will dominate every job class from CEO to telemarketer. Your caveman brain will be unemployable. The choice isn’t, “Upgrade or stay normal?” but “Upgrade or starve?”.”

Before it became the New World, the Western Hemisphere was vastly more populous and sophisticated than has been thought—an altogether more salubrious place to live at the time than, say, Europe. New evidence of both the extent of the population and its agricultural advancement leads to a remarkable conjecture: the Amazon rain forest may be largely a human artifact

fascinating read! highly recommend.

atencio:

Brand identity firm Wolff Olins did a fantastic job at taking AOL, a company that was already on the fast track to becoming an obsolete laughing stock, and speeding up the process by giving it a horrible new brand (“Aol.”) and these hideous logos. I’m starting to suspect Wolff Olin is actually a front for a group of globalization-hating activists who try to bring down huge corporations by giving them terrible advice and design work. They’re the same company behind the controversial London 2012 Olympics logo and the horrible new Wacom logo. [via]

new wacom logo sure looks terrible ;] too much coke at wolff olins agency…

If anybody knows who the artist is, let me know, Google and TinEye only turn up uncredited copies. Every time you post an uncredited copy of an artist’s work, a kitten dies.

The Kopp-Etchells Effect is thought to be the result of static electricity created by friction as materials of dissimilar material strike against each other, in this case helicopter blades moving through the air and dust, but a precise definition is as of now not known.

Rule-of-law extremism engulfs primitive Eastern Europe

Rule-of-law extremism engulfs primitive Eastern Europe:

ronmarks:

BY GLENN GREENWALD (updated below) Lithuania is currently embroiled in a bizarre and deeply confusing political controversy which reveals what happens when a country becomes gripped by extremist ideologies. Evidence has emerged that Lithuanian intelligence agencies allowed secret CIA prisons to be maintained in their country during the Bush era. Just because such prisons would be “illegal” under the so-called “law” of Lithuania and various international conventions to which that nation is a signatory, irresponsible leaders of that country are demanding “investigations” and even possibly legal consequences if it turns out crimes were committed. What kind of a backwards, primitive country would do something like this?

“What information consumes is rather obvious: It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”

- Herbert A. Simon, 1971

Possibly the most concise description of our modern struggle.
