Well I was already skeptic about this whole thing before even knowing who this man was. I thought something was missing, like I stated in above post.

I did a very quick, no hassle research via wiki, and there's already a section dedicated to: controversy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Perkins

quote: "Columnist Sebastian Mallaby of the Washington Post reacted sharply to Perkins' book[1]: "This man is a frothing conspiracy theorist, a vainglorious peddler of nonsense, and yet his book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, is a runaway bestseller." endquote

Absolutely love Belle & Sebastian. It's nice to see a little indie pop on this site. Fitting video for the song..

This is taken from The Singularity Summit symposium hosted by Stanford University, where a good number of speakers about this topic gave keynote addresses. My goal was to have them all posted in the same place, in order for people to easily find them, and I was in the process of doing just that, but due to the queue, Sunkid got to this one first. Here's the rest of the info I already had prepared to go along with this.

--------------------------------------------------

Eliezer Yudkowsky - The Human Importance of the Intelligence Explosion (Full Title)

The Singularity Summit symposium hosted by Stanford University was a series keynote addresses given with the purpose of addressing the very real implications that the Singularity may hold in the near future in an academic setting, and (without being too melodramatic on my part) to question what the very fate of the human species may be in the 21st century.

Ray Kurzweil - Stanford Singularity Summit: Closing Thoughts

True, but at least we wouldn't have had to look at Hayden Christensen's smiling ghost at the end of the sixth. It's no better for poor ol' Sebastian Shaw, of course, but so it goes.

i really enjoyed the first half of the documentary, but once they actually set out to do the tour of the uk, it got boring. i agree with westy that it is nice camera work, but it seems like they are to focused on the scenery and not on the action of parkour. it just took itself too seriously.

also, i was always under the impression that david belle had started parkour and was confused for the first 15 minutes. but then when they went to visit sebastian in france, i recognized all of the landmarks that were in the first piece i ever saw about parkour/david belle. i'm guessing that they were both part of the same troupe of guys that started it all. controversy settled

A song from the 7 Worlds Collide Album / DVD.

The band consisted of Neil Finn (Crowded House), Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Johnny Marr (The Smiths), Ed O'Brien (Radiohead), Phil Selway (Radiohead), Sebastian Steinberg and Lisa Germano.

Also the inspiration for a bands name, Belle & Sebastian (of course!)

Their website is full of half truths. But nothing annoyed me more then this bullshit...:

"Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one centre of pain."
--Oscar Wilde (reformed homosexual)"

Oscar Wilde was never a reformed homosexual.

He himself reffered to his sexuality as Socratic. Wilde and some within his upper-class social group also began to speak about homosexual law reform, and their commitment to "The Cause" was formalised by the founding of a highly secretive organisation called the Order of Chaeronea, of which Wilde was a member.

Wilde was arrested on April 6, 1895 at the Cadogan Hotel, London, and charged with "committing acts of gross indecency with other male persons" under Section 11 of the 1885 Criminal Law Amendment Act. Despite pleas by friends to flee the country, Wilde chose to stay and martyr himself for his cause.

Prison was unkind to Wilde's health and after he was released on May 19, 1897 he spent his last three years penniless, in self-imposed exile from society and artistic circles. He went under the assumed name of Sebastian Melmoth, after the famously "penetrated" Saint Sebastian, and has since become a gay icon.

Nevertheless, Wilde lost no time in returning to his previous pleasures. According to Douglas, Ross "dragged [him] back to homosexual practices" during the summer of 1897, which they spent together in Berneval. After his release, he also wrote the famous poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Wilde spent his last years in the Hôtel d'Alsace, now known as L'Hôtel, in Paris, where he was notorious and uninhibited about enjoying the pleasures he had been denied in England. Again according to Douglas, "he was hand in glove with all the little boys on the Boulevard. He never attempted to conceal it." In a letter to Ross, Wilde laments, "Today I bade good-bye, with tears and one kiss, to the beautiful Greek boy. . . he is the nicest boy you ever introduced to me." Just a month before his death he is quoted as saying, "My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has got to go."

Doesn't the Bible say "Thou Shalt Not LIE"? God hates liars too...
