Much too old, but not young enough. I'm working on it...
The songs I'm composing are dedicated to the noble ideal of Intelligence Augmentation (whatever the substrate on which it might run).
If there is so many words trying to describe the truth, it's because, ultimately, it can't be. Although, that doesn't mean the search ought to be stopped.
And remember that, when you're going round and round, the only solution to move forward is to permanently widen the radius of the circle.
In any case, do what you do best, improve the rest

Mood Bulletin

Well, my dear comrades, here are some of my intended next steps, for 2008 and beyond:
1a. "Escape Velocity": Getting liberated from the attraction of the gravitational field of this thing we call "society"; allegorically speaking, reaching escape velocity in order to move into "outer space"...
1b. +++CLASSIFIED - TOP SECRET+++
2. A Science-Fiction episodic story which will be more or less regularly released on my personal website, code name [CML], in terms: 4 volumes (2008 objective: a third to a half of the first volume)
3. The Gem Project - Yet another highly classified topic for now... It is a scientific / computer science personal project, which will give birth to one or several software, and... much more than that.
4. Translating, translating, translating.... into French, a heck of a LOT of precious documents... publishing them on the French Neurohackers' group, I'll give the URL in time.
5. (Maybe, if I have time to work on live versions of CP tracks) Giving a few gigs this summer, in South of France.
6. Meditation, Zen, Tai Chi, Diet Cleansing, etc...
7. Reduce/Stop all addictions
8. Live, Love and Be in Joy

Intelligence Augmentation's Resources

* Useful Stuff

- The Samurai Creed
* Be part of the Buzz
- The Neurohackers Network's Gate (get closer to and learn what neurosciences have to say about intelligence, the mind, humanity, life, love and interaction, in the good company of lighthearted pirates who are about to leave these Toilet Empire's filthy shores for a brand new "uncharted territory"...)

Intelligence Augmentation's Moot

(And I remember that for one hundred years I've said so!) Free Your Mind - Morpheus
(Contemptors of the body, all of you, bast@rds!) The overman... Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment. - Friedrich Nietzsche
(Calm down Friedrich, you know that) The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulties and we must rise to the occasion - Abraham Lincoln
Damn! There is a bollock in the soup! - French popular saying
(Cute Scal, but let's focus...) Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it - Andre Gide
(If I may,) The medium is the message - Marshall McLuhan
(Ha! Don't you see how he's right?) The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad - Friedrich Nietzsche
(Sure dude, but) You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. - R. Buckminster Fuller
(Like err...) It's because the speed of light is greater than the one of sound, that so many people seem brilliant before they sound stupid - Unknown
(Funny, unknown... o we all know you so well... but more seriously,) To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all - Peter McWilliams
(You know why, dudes?) Freedom means responsibility. That is why most men dread it - George Bernard Shaw
(You're all smiling here, "dudes", but you know...) After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, 'No hablo ingles.' - Ronnie Shakes
(Ah! Ah! Ah! Yeah! Well, err...) In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule - Friedrich Nietzsche
(Guys, guys, you're losing the point!) Everything you can imagine is real - Picasso
(You're right) Your focus determines your reality - Qui-Gon Jinn (to young Anakin Skywalker) [don't confuse with Kim Jong-il]
(Exactly! Try this exercice...) Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smile available - Jim Beggs
(NO!!! It God damn!!) TRY NOT! DO or DO NOT! There is no fùck'ng try!! - Yoda
(Woow, woow, relax dude; use the force... I don't know, do something! Don't forget that) In order to improve the mind, we ought less to learn, than to contemplate - Rene Descartes
(Hence...) Cats are smarter than dogs; you can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow - Jeff Valdez
(Well, you know,) Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them - R. Buckminster Fuller
(Therefore,) Hell is for children - Pat Benatar
(Oh, yeah! And besides,) Most men who are not married by the age of thirty-five are either homosexual or really smart - Becky Rodenbeck
(Hmm... well, what I do know is that) What I need is so much, what I need is over, even when I sleep I just walk on the border - Bertrand Cantat - Noir Désir
(Well, my dear friends, it seems) Everything you need to know, you already know it; now, you have to decide to become a warrior - Don Juan Matus (to Carlos Castaneda)
(Absolutely! As I said,) Everything is in "Point Break" - Brice de Nice
