December 11, 1982 — see The Complete Peanuts 1979-1982

“Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comics often conceal the existential despair of their world with a closing joke at the characters’ expense. With the last panel omitted, despair pervades all.”

“Of course, you still hear people saying ‘I don’t watch the news – it’s depressing.’ The answer to this is to invite them to imagine a world in which things which made you happy were so unusual they were newsworthy.”

Gingham

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:52:46 +0000

Behind the door with the gingham curtains sits a young girl with red hair. She wears a gingham dress. Next to her is a table, draped with a cloth of the same gingham. Upon the table sits a small plate, bearing a small slice of pie. She is screaming at the pie. She has circular breath for this solitary reason. There are water pipes to keep her throat hydrated, and caffeine drips to keep her awake. It is deathly important that she screams at the pie as long as she can. But in resigning herself to this fate, no one will know why. No one will know the horrors the saw. How close she came to death. How long she averted her gaze onto said pie. How this humble slice of baked foodstuff became her scapegoat. She keeps it preserved, alive to suffer the vocal horrors she projects. Why would the pie not be alive? Being alive is not contingent on having feelings.

When I write an email client, its rules system will have smart checks in place to stop you doing really stupid shit like this.

Because these checks clearly don’t exist in my head.

“The best argument I have heard for a monarchy is that it keeps rightwing nutters in check. Tell a fascist, “The Queen wouldn’t like it,” and they shut right down, perhaps recognising their own.”

brainmeat:

UC Berkeley researchers used brain scans of the visual cortex and computational models to reconstruct what the individual is seeing. From UC Berkeley:

“As yet, the technology can only reconstruct movie clips people have already viewed. However, the breakthrough paves the way for reproducing the movies inside our heads that no one else sees, such as dreams and memories, according to researchers.

“This is a major leap toward reconstructing internal imagery,” said Professor Jack Gallant, a UC Berkeley neuroscientist and coauthor of the study published online today (Sept. 22) in the journal Current Biology. “We are opening a window into the movies in our minds.”

erickimberlinbowley:

The Loneliest Whale in the World.

In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:

She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.

Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.

“There is no other species on the Earth that does science. It is, so far, entirely a human invention, evolved by natural selection in the cerebral cortex for one simple reason: it works. It is not perfect. It can be misused. It is only a tool. But it is by far the best tool we have, self-correcting, ongoing, applicable to everything. It has two rules. First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised. We must understand the Cosmos as it is and not confuse how it is with how we wish it to be.”

- Carl Sagan (via brainmeat)
