From the daring mind of Mojave66: What are the five things you think that humanity needs in order to survive and evolve into a peaceful civilization? “Things” could mean a philosophy, a technology, a spiritual perspective, a type of government… anything. This is not such a hard question. I think humanity needs very little to survive and evolve into a peaceful civilization: A total genetic overhaul, along with a massive change in environment from the one in which we evolved. (We’ve currently managed one kind of massive change but I’m not sure it’s the one we want.) Look, we’re hunters …
Month: July 2004
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Vampires, Ogres… and Spring
Today Lime and I returned from our trip and watched Shrek I (again, for me, in the hopes that we could watch Shrek II, though we found it had finished playing in Jeonju). Then we watched Van Helsing, becaused it was the most convenient movie for both of us (and she let me pick). Shrek: what can I say but I enjoyed it more this time around. Even if my girlfriend kept telling me that Shrek looks like me, and acts like me, with the same expressions, and so on? Ah well, I got my revenge when Fiona turned all …
On Censorship the Civil Society letter: PUBLISHED!
For those who don’t reread old posts, you’ll miss a big update here, so I’m re-posting the info here… my letter to the Korea Times was published, at least on their website, under the Thoughts of the Times column, and you can view it here. Ooops, except I guess they found a title a little harsh: “Censorship, Paternalist Disdain, and the Civil Society” they changed to “Censorship and Civil Society.” Ah well… The rest of the text looks intact.
On the eve of 1000
That’s right, this is post #1000 here at eclexys. I’m just posting a little link because I really must get to bed soon. I spent all evening editing the letter to the editor which you can see in the previous post, and tomorrow morning Lime and I leave for our (short) trip to SongGwangSa, a Buddhist Temple down near Suncheon. Once I get back, I’ll be working camp and trying to get an essay for an essay-writing contest finished, so I may not post much for a week or two. But hey: I’ve reached post #1000! That’s something, eh? UPDATE: …
Letter To The Editor
*UPDATE*: This letter is on the Korea Times’ website! It might even be in the newspaper today, though I won’t get a chance to check until tomorrow… Here’s the published letter, which is under Thoughts of the Times. From the BigHominid’s Hairy Chasms a nasty stench was emitted, which was regarding this opinion piece in the Korea Times, by one Choi Tae-hwan, who, as the Hominid describes, “expresses the wish for greater control and surveillance of the Internet”. I got annoyed enough to actually write a response to Choi’s opinion piece. I’ve sent it to the editor of the Korea …
