Nature is a language. Can anybody read? Empathy is an (possibly the) elemental human trait. We seem to be hard-wired to project ourselves into the positions of others and to experience what they are experiencing from the inside-out. We don’t just do this with people either. We can even do it with inanimate objects, casting some spark of our consciousness into lifeless objects and imbuing them with a life of their (our) own. Hot pluggable architecture!

Does your company have a gym on premises? If so, you might want to consider joining, even it means running into your spandex-clad boss or half-naked co-workers. It’s a small price to pay for good health. If you’re still not convinced, here are eight more reasons why your company’s gym is better than a chain.

When God created the universe, he got so stoned on it that he forgot that he made it and began to believe that he was it.

“Vanishing Point is an online puzzle challenge game with clues and hints embedded in the real world,” Lee said. “It’s this massive puzzle game, but you have to scour your real life looking for spectacular events that we publicize in order to solve the puzzles online.”

Brain imaging techniques suggest that within the premotor cortex and the inferior parietal cortex of the brain we have something called mirror neurons. They function both when you are performing an action and when you are watching someone else perform that same action. “The three-eyed invaders are mute and deaf and telepathic.” Hiring managers are not always impressed with high IQ.

Viral marketing techniques replace the classical search for authentic mystery with meaningless brain-twisters that lead nowhere.

Imagine taking all the drugs and drinking all the alcohol that ever existed in the universe. This is the state of consciousness when it takes on matter, except multiplied by infinity. “Corporate gyms tend to have private showers and changing areas so you don’t have to worry about seeing Jane, from a neighboring cubicle, in her birthday suit.”

Internet porn is supposedly more addictive than crack cocaine. Except isn’t the addiction to the pleasurable sensations triggered within the nervous system, and not to the actual porn itself? Researchers at Rutgers University suggested last year that employers might be liable for other forms of internet and technology addictions within their workers. All types of human activities will someday be considered pathological. Britney is being set up to take a very public fall. Why?

This is a language which we have lost the ability to read. We ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. We ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outward once more, now in an altered form.

Brazil has opened up the heart of the Amazon to “controlled” logging. Anorexia is plaguing Brazil for the first time. The 2012-Singularity meme was created in a research lab in the late 1970’s by a consortium of technology companies seeking greater industry collaboration and a long-term pervasive interlocking product roll-out strategy. Hubris was a crime in classical Athens.

Corporate gyms–fortunately–often have dress codes. You might think that sounds like parochial school, but you might come to support it when you don’t see gym-goers wearing skimpy outfits. Do you really want to see your boss in a muscle t-shirt?

Empathy is not only our greatest strength as humans, but also our greatest weakness. For once you project yourself into something else, you become increasingly susceptible to getting trapped there. Yet another self projection lost within the Labyrinth. A maze so a-mazing that it ensnares its creator. The race of three-eyed invaders Philip K. Dick spoke of. A collection of Robert Anton Wilson essays online.

More people are turning to the Web to watch television shows and movies, thanks to sites like YouTube and Apple’s iTunes store. But there’s an emerging breed of website that’s letting people go beyond passively viewing video. A number of startups, including Jumpcut, Grouper, and Motionbox, are providing free software tools that let anyone mix video clips online and, in some cases, make movies even if they don’t have content of their own.

Intelligent Office allows you to simulate an office, which itself is already a simulation of real life.

“For example, a lot of what we do is based on imitation. If somebody rises to get up and go, it’s almost an automatic response to get up and rise as well… You can learn, to a large degree, to simulate empathy.”

However, he added that this was not possible for “the truly autistic person”, as for them another person “doesn’t exist at all”.

All the Kali Yuga is is the universe trying to get unstoned again. A person is only a complex file system which may be interacted with bit by bit, unlocking information from it in a sequential pattern, socially and verbally. Hot and cold may not actually exist, but I like to try and stay warm regardless. We should start calling salaries “allowance” and employers “parents.” That would clear a lot of things up for people. God contacts us because he needs help to wake up.

Gym-goers at corporate facilities know they’re not anonymous, so there’s less likelihood that they’ll do anything too unhygienic or potentially embarrassing in the locker room.

I think they are talking about masturbating, but it’s hard to say, really. That’s Forbes for you. Always talking about masturbation covertly. Microsoft is offering a suborbital spaceflight as a prize in its new ultra-stupid viral marketing campaign for a product that nobody wants or trusts. What’s the point of virally marketing a product that most people don’t ever even choose consciously? Most people buy computers, not operating systems. “Since they’re closed to the public, corporate wellness centers are often much less crowded than gyms open to the public.”

They have free will! Watch out for “tech neck,” and “BlackBerry Thumb.”

When connected, you might find that one guy wants to move into the next cube for a while. What will he do? It all depends! They will start to interact most definitely. They are social creatures and will want to interact with one another and you’ll get to watch as they explore different ways to connect. Whip might try to wrangle Scoop’s dog to his Cube, and Dodger might toss his ball to Slim between Cubes. Nobody knows exactly what’s gonna happen when. And whenever you think you really know what’s going on, just move one cube to a different position, reconnect and you’ll be amazed yet again.

Good thing all you wonderbeings don’t live in Cube World! Beckham and “Posh” are coming to the United States which is probably the best evidence I’ve seen that America is being pushed into a global-culture phase. Also check out all these ensemble cast movies and television shows that have been coming out lately. All about people of diverse cultures working together. Perhaps the simulated wars we see on television are actually merely designed to “raise awareness” among Americans of how the rest of the world works and thinks. Agitate around the differences and then “heal the wounds” very publicly.

Scientology’s uber operating thetan, Tom Cruise, helped grease the wheels for the entire David Beckham move to L.A., and the New York Post reports it is fueling speculation Becks and his wife “may become the church’s next celebrity converts.”

The Post reported that Beckham said “a late-night phone chat with Cruise helped seal his decision to move stateside.”

“I talked with [Cruise] for about an hour last night and an hour the night before,” Beckham said at a news conference held yesterday to discuss his five-year, $250 million deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

“I asked him for his advice. … He’s a very wise man and a very good friend of mine. To have his experience and have him explain some things to me, that’s a big favor,” Beckham said in the press conference.

“He couldn’t speak any higher than what he was saying about L.A.”

The Post alleges Posh has “accepted church literature from her new friends.”

“Unlike a lot of gyms, corporate facilities don’t sport a meat market vibe. People are there to workout not flirt.” That’s good, because smart traders know that Janus is sobering up as January draws its curtains. You might need an executive coach (CIA handler).

“I’m not much interested in who’s putting on the contest, as long as I have a chance to win,” said Jonathan Waite, a senior editor at ARGNet, an online news and community site devoted to ARGs.

Good! Just so long as nobody is asking any kinds of important questions about anything! And after all, spotting which news pieces are fakes can be fun - right kids?

“This is a puzzle challenge embedded in the planet,” Lee said. “There are clues written in water, and clues etched in the skies above cities. To me a very exciting part of this is that this is the first game ever to use the actual Earth as a resource for delivering content.”

Because that’s all the Earth will be in the near future: a resource for delivering content. And that’s all you’ll be for that matter: a vehicle of transmission for someone else’s words. An agent for a company you’ve never heard of and that doesn’t pay you an allowance. I never noticed that the definition of “economics” is nearly identical to what I would call “technocracy:” the branch of social science that deals with the production and distribution and consumption of goods and services and their management. “The stress-related injury ‘BlackBerry thumb’ was recently recognized by the American Physical Therapy Association as an official workplace malady.” We do not need a Freedom to Link Act. Legislation does not protect us or grant us anything. Users are not in control. Why do you think they are calling these things disruptive technology? It’s not because it’s going to be a walk in the park.

blah blah blah
