For a totalitarian government freedom is control. Control is power. The ones who are in power separate themselves from the flock, and give themselves the freedom to not be controlled. Further segmentation can be achieved when the flock is divided to different classes by their on-line actions. In some cases it might be useful to disconnect segments from each other. These measures could be applied varyingly from time to time. The peaceful state of free communication would never occur of course, because one can always imagine what could happen and act accordingly even if it wasn't true.
It is of human nature to suppress the fear of unknown possibility by adding protective layers and denials, which soon turn into violence mechanisms and selfish control. In a mature state we wouldn't need the mechanisms of control, because we would know ourselves better, and think progressively without illusions of power. Understanding comes later, but not after enough have fallen for the power game and shown enough for the rest to become disillusioned. This has been going on for thousands of years.
It's fascinating, sympathetic and sad at the same time. The human reality is the image of ourselves, a tool for understanding what essentially is inside. The idea of the thesis is an example of thinking that would further drag us in the preliminary state of realization: self protection by any means possible. It is not a state of freedom, but captivity.
In a free market society all prices tend to go higher, because the participants milk each other as much as they can. The government is a part of the system. At some point the firms may realize that competition is actually harmful for businesses, and collectively decide to transfer the costs to the customers, who ultimately pay the prize for the free market, where the upper tier individuals play with the money and politics... Free market would work if people weren't selfish, and would act for common good. But hey, that wouldn't be a capitalistic free market any more, but "an evil socialist empire".
Skills are lacking because every available method is used to fill our realities with something interesting, which might lead to a purchase. The need for information doesn't diminish from the childhood, because the environment keeps the attention span short. This in turn makes us dependent on the information providers, because they control our perceptions. We become selectors rather than thinkers. If our needs are not met, we ultimately react with hostility... I think one part of the solution is to remember to breath once in a while... There is no need to fill every moment with everything just because it's possible; one ultimately gets lost, and becomes what is perceived rather than what one is.
People should stop worrying about things. What would we dream about if there wasn't any threats? What if I'm just happy with the reality whatever it is like? You could always state that the dreams are ahead of you and prepare you for whatever, but in the end it is you yourself who throttles the channels. The border areas are extremely interesting, and it feels like there's no difference in the end. It depends on your ability to resonate within the different properties of the universe, which provides the experience (diet, thought processes, bio-feedback etc...) I find astral meditation quite pleasing. Whatever it means, but I can see energy vortexes flow through myself and via my palms or soles held together (it feels amazing), while actually levitating over my sleeping body. The total openness of emotions and senses is overwhelmingly meaningful, and the focus seems infinite. The physical co-reactions, like tears or butterflies in your stomach, lack completely. It's all unattached and free. The threats the researcher refers to are typical for the human reality, to which we are attached and addicted to. In some cases the fears are manipulated in by an authoritative entities, which seek to control the information flow of the wake state...
Creativity and knowledge go hand in hand. Expanding knowledge provides new tools to be creative. Creativity may be restricted by the properties of the outside reality, but not by knowledge. Even intelligence doesn't matter, unless something coherent needs to be created:)
True. It would be stupid to sacrifice sound to a medium. Well mixed and produced music sounds great everywhere. It would be more useful to check the arrangements and clean up the spectrum a little bit... Lot of the songs today sound more like white noise than music, because the dynamics are evenly levelled at all the frequencies in the whole sound field. It's no wonder that this kind of music sounds noticeably crappier as an mp3. You lose the distinction in the higher frequencies, and it becomes fuzzier than if the arrangement was cleaner. The stereo field generally becomes a bit more confused. Could the even loudness make it difficult for the algorithm to differentiate frequencies that are audible? I guess the ultimate musical realization of our time is the white noise - all of the milliseconds of the spectrum are to be filled just because it's possible. Compensating for an inadequate medium just underlines the lack of delicacy and dedication.
People didn't live like Robinson Crusoe. (And that aside, it's a pretty weird example to cite -- the whole point of Crusoe is that he's a Western European who tames nature with his body and mind, and manages to create 'civilization' where none exists from whole cloth. It's very much man-vs-nature in the standard Imperialist mode; hardly "harmony.") That was the point why I cited it. I agree with you with everything you said.
Sometimes, it seems, there are no new ideas. As others have said, what we have here is a glorified sail. Nothing wrong with that, but as fossil fuels become more expensive, we'll find more and more "old tech" make a comeback.
The industrial revolution and the age of enlightenment led us to overconsumption. Defoe's Crusoe is an exemplary of a human being getting in control with the nature - everything is possible with ingenuity and sufficient resources. Sadly the western societies especially have since declined to self-worship rather than co-operation, because we generally are weak before our needs and desires. Combined with individual freedoms the nature was lost into artificiality, and many aligned with a mechanical world-view of self-preservation at all cost, and for profit. It's interesting how the global awareness has been on the rise recently, but it's good to keep in mind that this wouldn't necessarily happen if there wasn't need for it financially. Scarce resources show us that our lifes (businesses) are and can be finite, and it would be optimal to be more balanced to spend the time here fruitfully or profitably. In that sense the trend you have observed is a natural way of seeking harmony that was lost, although the idealized modern view of the historical times tends to forgot the sorrowful and filthy side of the past reality. Maybe we are more mature now, however?
Successful copulation advances evolution. The more sex the better chances to have offspring, which seek adaptation. We should all have sex with every suitable body. The more diverse the better. Now. Forget about the thought systems and public codes, this is for the human race! Let's hyperseed!! Woohoo!!! oh yeah.
I'd say it was about a chemical balance first, but the when the systems grew more complex the chemical side became just one part of the organisms, which now interact by their actions in space.
Still, without (largely) any theoretical knowledge about the intelligence the human race has evolved to the present state. If there was a two-class system it would have had wider cultural differences already. The spectrum is much more wider.
Oh my, a $100 000 PackBot unit (Brought to you by iRobot Corp, of Burlington, Mass.), reduced to pieces by what was probably a few dollars' worth of explosives (God, what a waste...), in an open-source warfare, which is bogged down because any request for equipment is first given a congressional review, which takes up to a month. However, the Pentagon is now granting its projects "rapid-acquisition authority." Good, we should clearly make a sustained attempt to create
an insurgent-resilient model of acquisition
- to protect and serve the expensive equipment.

As far as I can see this is about observing the damage rather than damaging by observation. We as human beings are able to observe a tiny slice of the universe, living in our own space. Not too long ago we lived under a curtain full of pinholes, through which the light of god shone as stars. A while ago there weren't any black holes or near earth asteroids, gamma explosions and other things that could wipe the life away. We didn't create them of course, the universe has always been there. We evolve to observe new things that have existed for billions of years. We see the universe as a reflection of ourselves, which makes it uniquely appear to us (our space). The universe is solidly full of everything we can't observe. The universe goes through practically an infinite amount of possibilities every moment, and humans make zero effect to the totality. The energies we are able to manipulate and observe are nothing compared to things happening every second somewhere in space.
Not too long ago we didn't even live in a solar system... I don't know how my body works but I keep still on walking, in a figment of our imagination.. why not focus on being exact of ourselves, and let the wishes of everyone to be done, as long as the humanity is respected..
Simple explanation for the difference is that when a tube is overloaded the waveform doesn't turn to square but it bounces back a little and forms extra sine wave harmonic frequencies directly above the fundamental. This can be achieved too by recording through an analogue tape system. Overloading a transistor generates harmonics far above the fundamental frequency, and the naturalness is lost.

No wonder, because the brain is a tool itself.

I guess, that most of them go well with the fish.
at least it's obvious she won't need to clean windows.

Universe is not human centric, but observing is... I wonder if a CCD camera is as damaging as human senses, and which point the damage is done?

Technology doesn't win wars, but strategies and tactics do. Technology is a tool, but in fool's hands (generally speaking) it's not much of use.
Universal is not Wolfram's 2,3 Turing Machine but a media conglomerate.
