Moldova riots
Apr 10th
Our Moldovan brothers are struggling to overturn corrupt election results of the communist party, while CNN and other media talk about the influence of social networking in this matter. Their authorities already started a cyber counter-attack, blocking access to these web networking services.
Seems to me they are missing the whole point. It’s not about the social networks, it’s about people, and what people want – remember December 22nd, 1989, when Romania was facing a major turning point in it’s history. Would things be any different today, if we had Twitter? Doubt it.
My 2 euro cents.
P.S. Seems Romania gets the blame for what is happening. That’s a new one! 
Time travel hypothesis
Feb 18th
Source: Wikipedia.com
I saw the movie Outlander last night, which is quite OK if you are into Norse and viking movies. The character Kainan (played by James Caviezel) reminded me of He-Man, but this is besides the point. The movie triggered an interesting discussion between me and my friend Horea – the subject being:
What if you could somehow solve the problem of general relativity and time dilation and travel back into 900 AD, the time of vikings?
Can you somehow manage to survive into such a primitive society? What would your tricks be? Can you teach them something from the future if your life depended on it? Any survival tips? We reached the conclusion that without our means of production and the sharing of information, we are pretty useless in that time and we cannot survive for long. Unless you’re skilled at wilderness survival, finding edible food, shelter, and potable water in a time when those things were much more scarce than now will prove difficult.
Any opinions?
Top 10 Signs of Evolution in Modern Man
Jan 15th
George Carlin – Modern Man
Through history, as natural selection played its part in the development of modern man, many of the useful functions and parts of the human body become unnecessary. What is most fascinating is that many of these parts of the body still remain in some form so we can see the progress of evolution. This list covers the ten most significant evolutionary changes that have taken place – leaving signs behind them.

Zeitgeist – Divide & Conquer is the Motto
Jan 8th
The last thing the men behind the curtain want is a conscious informed public capable of critical thinking. Which is why a continually fraudulent zeitgeist is output via religion, the mass media, and the educational system. They seek to keep you in a distracted, naive bubble. And they are doing a damn good job of it.
Zeitgeist, The Movie’ and ‘Zeitgeist: Addendum’ were created as Not-for-Profit expressions to communicate what the author felt were highly important social understandings which most humans are generally not aware of. The first film focuses on suppressed historical & modern information about currently dominant social institutions, while also exploring what could be in store for humanity if the power structures at large continue their patterns of self-interest, corruption, and consolidation.
The second film, Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other “establishment” notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

The end of the world 2
Sep 9th
Two men pursuing a lawsuit in a court in Hawaii, think a giant particle accelerator that will begin smashing protons together outside Geneva this summer might produce a black hole that will spell the end of the Earth – and maybe the universe. (via Herald Tribune)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. (via Wikipedia)
According to the CERN press release, they announced that the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made on September 10th. You can follow the progress via live webcast here.
What does GOD think about this? I asked him myself. Here’s the short conversation.
George Man: daca ne inghite o gaura neagra?
George Man: iesim dezbracati pe drum?
GOD: GOD SAYS THAT THE WORLD SHALL NOT END!
Hope you are all relieved now, enjoy the webcast. 
LATER EDIT: My power is out, I’m writing on my notebook, battery won’t hold long. See you all on the other side!
