“With the egoic consciousness having become so dysfunctional, and now having at our disposal all these enormous technologies and scientific advances, if nothing changes the ego will use those things - as it already has been doing - and will amplify the technology that we now have. The scientific advances, to a large extent, will be used in the service of the ego, and they will become more and more destructive.” IfsHas BeensUseUsedConsciousnessTechnologyEgoEnormousDestructiveThings ChangeAmplify Author:Eckhart Tolle
“The main thesis of mind-physics holds that consciousness and matter are both manifestations of a more primary entity, and that the processes of manifestation exhibit equivalent invariances for both consciousness and matter. When the program for mind-physics is complete the subject-object dichotomy of modal logic, the polarity of concept-percept, and the antagonism between morality and technology will all come to an end. Then the non-repeatable experiment will be understood to be more primary than the traditional repeatable experiment.” MindEndsMatterProcessConsciousnessTechnologySubjectsObjectsMoralityUnderstoodConceptsProgramLogicPhysicsExperimentsTraditionalPrimariesManifestationEntityExhibitsThesisDichotomyAntagonismPolarity Author:Paul Laffoley

“Often what is nearest is hardest of all to see - try asking a fish to define water. Distance opens a door to revelation. When the first great distances of space were conquered by technology, a camera altered the human perspective on the Earth as radically as Galileo did when he proved the sun was the center of the universe.

“I was really interested in this ability for others to create virtual memories for us. In "The Cartographers" I explore this through Adam Woods, and the company he works for, which produces virtual memories that people can beam into their consciousness. While the technology is sci-fi, the story is also a metaphor for the way love relationships create memories in our minds.” PeopleWayMindStoriesMemoriesAbilityConsciousnessCompanyTechnologyProduceMetaphorWoodsSci FiAdamBeamLove Relationship Author:Alexander Weinstein
“We can open up our computers and Skype with someone, and we see them. It's like looking through a window. And we can surf the internet through our phones, and it's like our consciousness is far away. Or we can step through a airplane door and be in another continent a few hours away. So technology feels, to me, like the doors sort of already exist, at least emotionally.” FeelsHoursConsciousnessStepsTechnologyDoorsInternetComputerWindowPhonesAirplaneFar AwayContinentsSurfSkype Author:Mohsin Hamid
“One of the fantastic things about Silicon Valley is that it's both the birthplace of technology and it was one of the birthplaces of the counterculture.
