A New Tool for Analyzing Cultural Mobility
A dataset on the birth and death locations of distinguished individuals over 2,000 years is providing insights into cultural mobility, a new study reports. To better understand the spread of disease, the rise of conflict, and the evolution of cities, researchers have needed a way to quantitatively analyze the impact of individual historical developments on societal practices. They used the migration patterns of more than 150,000 notable individuals, as represented by their birth and death locations, and suggest that the consistent global patterns uncovered with their framework will help provide guidance with respect to predicting growth, size and distance distributions going forward, as well as better interpreting of cultural phenomena.

Humans have spent the last 10,000 years mastering agriculture. But a freak summer storm or bad drought can still mar many a well-planted harvest. Not anymore, says Japanese plant physiologist Shigeharu Shimamura, who has moved industrial-scale farming under the roof.

These emergency preservation medical trials (some will call it “suspended animation”) will produce interesting results.
"The researchers behind it don’t want to call it suspended animation, but it’s the most conventional way to explain it. The world’s first humans trials will start at the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, with 10 patients whose injuries would otherwise be fatal to operate on. A team of surgeons will remove the patient’s blood, replacing it with a chilled saline solution that would cool the body, slowing down bodily functions and delaying death from blood loss. According to Dr. Samuel Tisherman, talking to New Scientist: “We are suspending life, but we don’t like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science fiction… we call it emergency preservation and resuscitation.” (via Endgadget)”

Prometheus is hell-bent in the cockpit, but Hermes has snuck into Mission Control, and the matrix is ablaze with entangled tongues.
Erik Davis, TechGnosis, 1998.
We must come to understand the deep mutual connection or kinship between the various forms if our spirituality. We must recollect out original spiritual and moral substance, which grew out of the same essential experience of humanity. I believe that this is the only way to achieve a genuine renewal of out sense of responsibility for ourselves and for the world. And at the same time, it is the only way to achieve a deeper understanding among cultures that will enable them to work together in a truly ecumenical way to create new order for the world.
Vaclav Havel, 1995 speech at Harvard.

On Canada
"If we go on insisting that Canada is an expression of the West and of its rational, Judeo-Christian tradition, we will be increasingly carried down a road with all that it contains--an obsession with clarity, a fear of social complexity, a horror of overlap, a constant confusing of moral rectitude and power, a conviction that the individual must dominate the place, a tendency to remove obstacles, such as minorities, minority ideas or minority language. This linear approach makes no sense, given what Canada is. It does not help us make sense of what we have done, even when we have been successful." - John Ralston Saul, A Fair Country: Telling Truths About Canada
