The Random Comic Strip

Words to live by...

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and to rest afterward."

[Spanish Proverb]

Ius luxuriae publice datum est

(The right to looseness has been officially given)

"Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders," wrote Ludwig von Mises, "no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interest, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle."

Apparently, the crossword puzzle that disappeared from the blog, came back.

Everyone also here - well, me and my friend Extropian in any case - have been waiting for advancements in human-machine systems that may produce artificial changes in human evolution or just enhance normal capabilities.
I am not optimistic though. Getting too old to be able to see even the beginning of such changes. It may be the Old World's syndrome, or the mummy's syndrome.

Here is something of interest:
