Singularity University and Transhumanism
The NYT has an article about transhumanism. I wrote a short piece on the topic back in April 07.

Oil stuff
The last time I wrote on peak oil, I felt a little more panicky than I do now. I realize now that -- in all likelihood -- there will be a paradigm shift in energy consumption that will pretty much prevent a catastrophe; culture evolves.
The NYT has an article today looking at a growing group of people feeding off the panic I used to feel: they sell courses and books on surviving the aftermath of peak oil. Meanwhile, over at The Oil Drum, an interesting piece points out that the blame for the spill is ultimately ours -- and by that I mean especially Americans in general -- and not BP's.
