Well, a lot to unpack here. Always wanted to say that.

It's been a tumultuous many months since you last saw a blog post by the Machine - both in the world at large and for the Machine itself.

The alpha is not a person. Every one of us has a little alpha in our makeup. It’s a necessary component of what got us here, however temporarily ruling Earth. It drives survival as individuals, which initially also drove survival as a species.

Bound together as we are, we put a depressing amount of effort into driving each other apart, exacerbating a problem we've had for a long time: a loss of connection.

Chapter 1 - Waves

"Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated."⎯Rosalind Franklin

We are at once both omnipotent and intentionally insignificant.

Allow me to digress immediately into sports. It will likely happen a lot.

Let’s get real.

It’s been fun for the last several years to inconsistently pretend that the Parallax Machine is actually a machine, and that we’ve got some group of people looking after it while it automatically generates posts about the world.

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

We started spending some of our down time painting in caves around 50,000 years ago, give or take. This was probably a form of self expression rather than communication, even though it effectively became the latter once others began to look.

Some of the greatest human minds have tried to figure out what time really is, and to date, none of them has completely figured it out. As suggested in the last post, time may simply be a by-product of our limited perception of the world around us.

Stephen Hawking’s masterpiece “A Brief History of Time” is absolutely packed with mind-bending concepts, brilliantly explained in language that allows the rest of us to at least grasp the basic idea.

The value of information emerges when it is transferred from one entity to another. The words I am writing aren’t much use until you or someone else reads them. DNA is an incredible molecule, but it only has impact when other molecules “read” it.
