			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>quick update, not been feeling the writing lately but i am putting together some new photo albums. in the mean time i was on two radio shows.</p>
<p>i was a guest once more on &#8216;useless thoughts and unremarkable opinions&#8217; (episiode 34), where Jack and I may have been a little rough on the wonderful co-host linda, and i am very very sorry:<br />
<a href="http://jacknemo.podomatic.com/">http://jacknemo.podomatic.com/</a></p>
<p>and i was also invited onto <a href="http://v-radio.org">V-Radio</a> to talk about my video&#8217;s on the zeitgeist movement, namely, &#8216;Capitalism? Epic Fail!&#8217;, along with fellow z-filmmakers tom vine and doug mallette :<br />
<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/v-radio/2010/11/30/tom-vine-of-dominoes-productions-interview">listen here </a></p>
<p>also might as well throw in another reminder for peeps to check out my new other youtube channel (for video&#8217;s of my FACE and talking and music):<br />

<p>Inspired in part by the book, &#8216;The Chalice and The Blade&#8217; by Riane Eisler. This video is a collaborative effort between Ife Aziz (http://www.youtube.com/PepperMintLIfe) and Aaron Moritz made possible through the internet, which allowed us to reach out, empathize, and share ideas with one another. On many fronts, the fact that this video exists is a testament to the reality of what it puts forth; ultimately, a challenge to the theory that humans are hardwired for competition and aggression, rather than co-operation, and empathy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>&#8220;Dumpsters are one of the new and fashionable lawn ornaments in South Florida and they spring up all over our town like mushrooms after a summer rain. When a house goes into foreclosure, which they do quite often nowadays, a crew arrives with the Dumpster and empties the house into it, almost as though they picked it up by one side and poured everything out. The former occupants of the house presumably find a nice freeway overpass to live under, the bank resells the house for ten cents on the dollar, and everyone is happy—especially the company that rents the Dumpsters.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m reading the new Dexter book (Dexter is Delicious), and I&#8217;ve always liked these books because they are amazingly written to show the emotionlessness of sociopaths. He&#8217;s much less emotional in the books.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just funny to me that this is the authors description of sociopathic logic, yet it isn&#8217;t too far off from how many people view housing foreclosures. Maybe not so blatantly put, but I guess I just think it&#8217;s a great example of the cognitive dissonance required to accept that our system is working. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was in 7th grade my religion teacher told the class that it was ok to be gay, but that having gay sex was a sin. Tell any 12 year old kid he can&#8217;t have sex (well, the kind he wants to have) and you lose &#8216;em. And Catholicism lost me. But that didn&#8217;t mean there was no God, not for sure anyway. I was content, for many years, to think that the church just gets some things wrong, that of course, an ever loving God would never send me to hell for sucking a dick (especially when he&#8217;s the one who made me want to do it&#8230;)</p>
<p>So I embraced my agnosticism, which by the time I graduated, had turned more into a quasi-spiritual pick and choose belief system when I got into mysticism and spirit guides and healing (note: not heavily into , I was just&#8230; browsing), and now my stance is basically&#8230; wait and see. But my intuition is that there is no afterlife. </p>
<p>The more &#8216;atheist&#8217; I became, the more I began to feel free. There was no God watching and judging everything I do. I am the ultimate judge of myself. I am the only person with that power, truly. I once mentioned I was an atheist to a casual acquaintance and he said &#8220;&#8230;must be lonely sometimes.&#8221; I never looked at it that way. The only thing atheism has given me is less guilt, and a feeling of purpose. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been digging into Transhumanism for a while now, and I&#8217;ve become fairly persuaded by the evidence that we are developing technologies that will radically extend our lives (possibly until the end of the universe[or the beginning of the next one]). But lot&#8217;s of people like to say that this is nothing more than technologists wishful thinking, their own scientific version of religion, creating heaven on earth, rapture of the nerds some people have called it. And until I see the actual technologies working, on humans, I can&#8217;t have 100% confidence that they aren&#8217;t wrong. So what happens if I do die? </p>
<p>Well, I was an atheist (well, let&#8217;s say&#8230; 96% atheist. There&#8217;s always a chance the theists are right)  before I stumbled upon transhumanism and my stance on death hasn&#8217;t changed much. If death is inevitable, then all that means is that this life is more precious. There is no garuntee, or even reason to think, that there is anything after this life. So make each moment count. And don&#8217;t worry about dying, because if you do die, you&#8217;ll either be starting on some great adventure, or you&#8217;ll be nothing, like before you were born.</p>
