Via M[C]S. Apparently the Vatican is OK with belief in ETs. But is it OK if we believe God was an ET and we can summon his powers with the right radio signals? Try asking your local pastor that, and his head will explode.

I doubt my fixation on Pinker will end anytime soon, because his book How the Mind Works was the single most illuminating work of cognitive science I’ve read, even though it was a popular work.

Check out the magnified photographs at Nikon Small World. Fascinating. Many of the best are near the end, at 70+ in the gallery.

John Powers has a website that shows off his amazing sculptures. Many of them look like futuristic pixelated 3D objects. They also remind me of swarming robots.

Posting an image of Anders Sandberg, because he’s an iconic transhumanist. Be sure to check out his report “Whole Brain Emulation: A Roadmap”, co-authored with Nick Bostrom for the Future of Humanity Institute. You can also see his excellent photography on Flickr. His blog is Andart.
Back in the old days, the primary transhumanist site on the web was Anders Transhuman Page, and many of us got acquainted with transhumanism via that avenue. It’s mostly a collection of links, definitely worth checking out if you’ve never seen it.
Update: most of the links are dead there, sadly. Still, Anders Transhuman Page lives on in our hearts.
