short thoughts about bald pop-stars.

A note on Britney Spears.
Does anyone else find it odd that one who adored for her body has committed acts against her body? That one, who since her late teens, has been gawked at, gazed upon, honored for her looks is trying to destroy them. The tattoos, the shaving, and the piece de resistance, piercing [...]



About a Blog - My Reflections on reflections on Nude American Idols

By Max • Feb 28th, 2007 • Category: Philosophy

Being as how this is the post-modern, possibly post-humanist era, and things tend to get nicely redundant, I thought I could make my big “come-back” blog about another blog. And to cut through the crap, cause it’s getting late now anyway, it’s a blog about a blog about an American Idol Contestant’s “risque” photos.
I don’t [...]



BANG!……You’re Dead!

By Max • Jan 24th, 2006 • Category: Philosophy

I love dancing. Most of my friends are aware of my foot-moving passions, as it’s not on rare occasion that they will find me lunging my hips and pivoting my toes to the tunes of the “hardest working man in show business.” And for those of you who haven’t seen my mad-style and moves that [...]

Back into the grind….here we go.
I have meditated more on this notion of imagination in the frameworks of abstraction and what they call “possible worlds.” MAny conceed that we cannot exit our experience (or perspective) in this realm of reality. But then they go on to press that we can occupy some other form of [...]

And this is the instance where youth is transformed into hopeful maturity.
I think I owe it to myself and any transient readers to explain something.
And I’m going to try and explain this without getting all metablog or metamax on myself.
The Synthetical Self
More than one person has commented on the extremes at which my writing operates [...]



CPU

By Max • May 15th, 2005 • Category: Philosophy

The myth of the CPU: What’s so central about process?
This morning is reading and reflecting on Foucault’s Theatricum Philosophicum a few things crossed my mind that then led to some other thoughts, which then of course eventually brought me in front of my computer screen again. Oddly, a few of Foucault’s words struck me in [...]

Recently I have been considering the theories, ideas, and some writings that surround Artificial Intelligence and the replication of human-like consciousness outside of an actual human instantiation. Of course, when I say “Artificial Intelligence,” I’m not talking about some solid monolith of theory, or of even defining the word itself. In some schools of thought [...]



The Spiritual

By Max • May 1st, 2005 • Category: Philosophy

The Spiritual Disposition….or even PREdisposition….
Anxiety has no friends. Except maybe one. God. Allah. The Divine. Buddha maybe.
The illumination I receive in reflection of my own affliction is always striking and sometimes even awe-inspiring. Today, on the way to coffee, I started a moment of reflection on my past half-dozen years. I went from a church-going [...]

A letter to Eric:
Manifesto is right.
First, here is part of an email that I just sent to Amy this morning:
“I’ve got a lot of mixed feeling about the symposium, but I’ll sort it out
eventually. I think it’s funny that the more exposure I get to professional
