Call of the Void

As strange as it sounds, the call of the void is a phenomenon experienced by many people. Imagine that you are standing in a high place somewhere close to the edge. You wonder ‘what if I jumped?’ All of a sudden, you actually feel the sudden urge to hurl yourself into the abyss.

That impulse to jump that you just had is the call of the void, also known as high place phenomenon (HPP). …

If nothing else, the idea deserves some consideration

This can be quite a controversial topic but it should be explored nonetheless, after all, that’s what I write for. Exploring alternate perspectives.

There seems to be a fundamental issue in our society with drug addiction. You can check out some stats here. So what’s the issue? It all comes down to a few things that have become a major burden on our cultural infrastructure. Things like incarceration, lack of rehabilitation, wasted tax dollars, and a stigma that turning a blind eye will eventually fix the problem.

Take a trip on social media and you can hear motivational empowerment all the time. Stuff about facing your problems head on and having the courage to do things that may make you feel uncomfortable but for some reason, as a society, we do the exact opposite with drug addiction.

Now I’m going to keep this PG, but the fact that you can even be ticketed for window tint in the first place is totally bogus — I’ll explain.

Generally speaking, most people are familiar with this phrase.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

Ah yes, the inalienable rights set forth in the United States Constitution. Exactly how inalienable is life though? What if the concept of immortality becomes a real and valid technological possibility?

With the current global population hovering somewhere around 7.8 billion and an additional 385,000 people being born each day, I think this is a legitimate question to ask.

As humans, it’s only natural for us to look towards the scientific community for information surrounding the topic and ironically enough, nanorobotic technology just might be the answer that many of us are hoping for. …

It seems like every day there are a slew of new gadgets and technologies hitting the market. By the time you finally get the one you want, there’s a good chance that it’ll be obsolete before too long. That’s because our technological capabilities as a species continues to grow — rapidly. This rapid growth is called Moore’s law.

Moore’s Law

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the exact definition of Moore’s Law goes like this,

The statement that the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years.

It doesn’t sound too fancy or exciting at first glance but what this translates into is raw computational capacity which drives most of the connected world in one sense or another. Also take note of the current rate of growth, 24 months. As this capacity grows, it will eventually increase the speed at which it grows which is where things get interesting. Theoretically, we could eventually arrive at a time where the computational capacity of our world doubles every second (AI takeover?). …

Different colors can have strong psychological impacts on our mood, thought processes, and even elicit various physical responses. For instance, strong blue colors can have calm and relaxing effects on the mind while red attracts us to food and stimulates sexual arousal.

Weird right? But what does that have to do with marketing you ask?
