It is not unethical, it is not immoral, and it is not bad. We NEED to genetically modify ourselves.
It is disheartening and quite unbelievable that when I do searches regarding genetic engineering on humans, and genetic engineering in general, all I can seem to find are people debating whether it is good or bad, ethical or unethical, moral or immoral. This is tragic since we are only going to hold back the human […]
The game explores time travel, alternate Universes, and multiple dimensions.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of those games that I played from beginning to end, and then still played long after I had beat the final boss. The game truly is a classic for many reasons– game mechanics, graphics, story, scope, etc. It changed video games forever. But as one blog post on Scientific […]
A supercomputer that aims to think like the human mind.
Creating a computer that acts and processes data the same way as the human brain is the holy grail of Artificial Intelligence research. A supercomputer is being built that will potentially mimic the human mind, helping us better understand things like anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s Disease. The possibilities for what this computer may do for […]
An excellent choice.
I think J.J. Abrams is brilliant. He is a master of Science Fiction. Just look at the new Star Trek movie or the TV series Fringe as examples. He isn’t afraid to put raw emotion into a film, and he has a spectacular eye for dramatic battles and conversations. I am sure he will do […]

Though the world has many problems, we are working to overcome those problems and create a great, unified […]

It seems like a no-brainer, yet some members of Congress want to default on all their debt.
The U.S. Government owes a lot of money, that’s for sure. The problem is that we don’t have the money to pay off that debt right now. We’ve been spending more than we take in, and the debt has risen due to the Bush tax cuts, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Affordable Health Care […]
The general consensus on childhood experiences is that it feels good. So why do the feelings disappear and how do we keep them.
Hello there to the scientists in the distant future who have figured out how to genetically modify human beings so that we can feel wonderfully good, happy, wide ranges of emotional bliss. It is no secret that nostalgia is powerful. Adults have feelings about children’s TV shows, music, movies, toys, trains, etc. Growing up is […]
Possible reasons for depression, dysphoria, and just feeling lousy upon waking up.
We’ve all had bad mornings– some maybe more than others. We wake up and feel like death itself– so lousy that we need to barrel through the pain until we brighten up for the day. So why is it that sometimes when we wake up we feel depression, sadness, anxiety, or otherwise general dysphoria? The […]
