Music. Film. People. Nikola tesla in 1925 stated that "There is no thing endowed with life - from man, who is enslaving the elements, to the nimblest creature - in all this world that does not sway in its turn. Whenever action is born from force, though it be infinitesimal, the cosmic balance is upset and the universal motion results." tesla also argued: "I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view."

research has shown that in the first few seconds of our perceiving something we do not only unconsciously comprehend what it is , but decide whether we like it or not. The cognative unconscious presents our awareness with not just the identity of what we see, but an opinion about it. our emotions can hold views quite independently of our rational mind. 75% of young adults have a t.v. 97% of homes have a t.v. 15 years of television veiwed per human life.
MARK TWAIN "I am persuaded that a coldly-thought-out and independent verdict upon a fashion in clothes, or manners, or literature, or politics, or religion, or any other matter that is projected into the field of our notice and interest, is a most rare thing-if it has ever existed." - The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology is a 2005 update of Raymond Kurzweil's 1999 book, The Age of Spiritual Machines and his 1987 book The Age of Intelligent Machines. In it, as in the two previous versions, Kurzweil attempts to give us a glimpse into what awaits us in the near future. His reasoning rests on the combination of four postulates:That a technological-evolutionary point known as "the singularity" exists as an achievable goal for humanity. That through a law of accelerating returns, technology is progressing toward the singularity at an exponential rate. That the functionality of the human brain is quantifiable in terms of technology that we can build in the near future. That medical advancements could keep a significant number of his generation (Baby Boomers) alive long enough for the exponential growth of technology to intersect and surpass the processing of the human brain.
