Cybernetics

I don’t believe in the words artificial or synthetic. To use these words implies humans exist outside of the universe. Reality is that we are part of the universe and everything we create and do is a natural process lead by evolution. How we modify ourselves or expand the way we live are completely natural because our intelligence itself is a natural growth of the universe.

To deny these things or to imply what we do is somehow unnatural is to paint all of humanity as existing outside of the universe. The truth is everything we do is an evolution of life within this universe we call home. Every single thing we do is natural, because we ourselves are nature given intelligence. We have the ability to guide nature in a way that pushes evolution to understand the boundaries of our very existence.

We are the universe, and everything we do, an expression of that.

Never deny who we are; A fledgling species on the cusp of greatness and this next century will decide if we proceed to a higher life or die off as so many species before us.

Keep moving forward.

Satellite Reign 

developed by 5 Live Studios.  

“A real-time, class-based strategy game, set in an open-world cyberpunk city. You command a group of 4 agents through rain-soaked, neon-lit streets, where the law is the will of mega-corporations. Use your agents to sneak, shoot, steal, and sabotage your way up the corporate ladder, and take control of the most powerful monopoly of all time.”

I really like the music in the teaser trailer.  Satellite Reign is currently on Steam Early Access with pretty good reviews, and seems to get regular updates.

Played this for a while since early alpha. It’s the closest thing to a spiritual successor to the early Syndicate games (not that recent FPS that many don’t talk about). It’s a little bit buggy, but the awesomeness more than makes up for it.

“Study of the human brain is, in fact, much less like exploring a series of corridors, and much more like observing a planet from high orbit; with intense magnification, you can barely see the inhabitants, observe their behavior, where they go, which routes they take, but you don’t know who they are, what they do when they get there, or why they do it.”

The real problem of humanity is the following: we have paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology.

“Ever since our species first looked up at the sky, we’ve dreamed of reaching Mars. Back in 2029, that dream became real when the first humans set foot on the Red Planet. And in a few months, a new group of astronauts will make the journey.”
