Cultural revolutionaries in 2009…

This is a youtube series. (10 episodes altogether) This is profound and very valuable info…
I just found this book again in a used bookshop and, in case you did not read into it, yet, I recommend it highly…What also struck me was that it was first published in 1975. – My deepest respect to Fritjof Capra (http://www.fritjofcapra.net/).
This is from Chapter 2 Knowing and Seeing:
…The natural world, on the other hand, is one of infinite varieties and complexities, a multidimensional world which contains no straight lines or completely regular shapes, where things do not happen in sequences, but all together; a world where—as modern physics tells us—even empty space is curved. It is clear that our abstract system of conceptual thinking can never describe or understand this reality completely. In thinking about the world we are faced with the same kind of problem as the cartographer who tries to cover the curved face of the Earth with a sequence of plane maps. We can only expect an approximate representation of reality from such a procedure, and all rational knowledge is therefore necessarily limited.

Sadly, this is no joke. ‘In the name of science’ this friday (tomorrow) Nasa will intentionally crash a satellite onto the moon.
How do you feel about that? Is this what should be done? What is your connection to the moon? Do you know how intimately we are linked to its rhythms and dynamics? And so now human genuity will destroy its surface purposefully…How disconnected do you have to be?
At the same time: That seems to be the nature of things right now. That seems to be where it’s at. Curious what it will do. – It hurts, though. Pobre luna…
On Friday, however, the Earth’s nearest neighbour is set to stage one of the strangest moments in space exploration, as Nasa prepares to send a 2.3 tonne satellite smashing into the lunar surface.
If all goes to plan, officials at the space agency say the strike will take place at around 12.30pm UK time, with a booster rocket and $79m satellite slamming into a huge crater near the moon’s south pole.

and a few sidebar updates
After the last major design- and feature-update we’ve recieved divided opinions about the new colours. Some readers had issues with readabilty. You can now choose a new colour set “High Contrast” via the drop down menu to the right named “Colours”.
(I know, from a professional designer’s point of view, this new style might not be perfectly balanced and it is certainly not 100% implemented into all deeper site-levels. But a completely new, holistic re-design is in the pipe anayway… so stay tuned!)
Besides that we’ld like to spread the word and promote the Declaration Of Cultural Revolutionaries 2009 in our sidebar as well. In case you’re not into it allready, go check it out!
And btw – since we are talking about interdependence and networking – if you’ld like to suggest a project, you think it’s worth to share and/or to feature on Sound Of Sirens, do not hesitate to contact us!
