POPSJune's Young Crescent Moon - Astronomy Picture of the Day The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon appear as if it is changing shape in the sky. This is caused by the different angles from which we see the bright part of the Moon's surface. These are called "phases" of the Moon. Of course, the Moon doesn't generate any light itself; it just reflects the light of the Sun. The Moon passes through four major shapes during a cycle that repeats itself every 29.5 days. The phases always follow one another in the same orde

POPSArtists Using the Full Spectrum "I’m excited by artists who are finding ways to adapt the rainbow spectrum in their work.The color field (or chromatic abstractionist) artists of the 50’s often painted with bold swaths of color but rarely used as many together as the featured artists of this article. In the 60’s, psychedelic art used colors and patterns together too. The modern artists I’ll cover in this post use color in an undiluted, anything but soft array of graphic lines and shapes resulting in work that is both vivid and alluring. Their work circumvents the boundaries their predecessors put in place to arrive at a new and bold take on prior styles."

POPSCarr on IT changing human intellect
If this higher consciousness were to be some form of emergent group consciousness, then we wouldn't "see" it unless we were part of that self-deluding component of the mind which kids on that it is self aware and has an executive role. If we are any other strand of thought, we would continue to perform our roles, oblivious to the fact that we were a component of a higher consciousness. Probably ;-) Is the sleep of reason necessarily a bad thing? Is rational argument actually any better than rhetorical, or was it a necessary substitute for the immediacy of social connectivity which allows the rhetoric to flourish again? If "we're lapsing into a dream state", doesn't this imply that we are either all doing it individually (I'm not...) or 'we' constitute parts of a whole which can dream? What sorts of things can dream? I agree that our mode of consumption shapes our intellects - everything we do does. But I don't think we should write our intellectual lives off just yet.
