There is a contradiction within Kant's thought where he stated that revolution is never justified, yet he did express support of the actual French Revolution that occurred during his lifetime. Revolution is a disruption of a specific political order and an introduction of an external reality. However, Kant proposed that when the law is made to be universal then a revolution can not be a higher authority than the law. Revolution places the entire idea of a universal law into jeopardy in all cases. But the law always arises from specific individual ethics, so instead of a revolution there must be a reconnection between the universal and the particular.

 
Here is a great example of science conducted in a do-it-yourself fashion. A man attached a camera to a weather balloon, and as it went higher it took pictures of leaving the atmosphere before it finally crashed to the ground. The photos were able to be recovered, and were able to capture fleeting scenes of outer space.

 
The zombie genre has always had political significations, ever since George Romero's "Night Of The Living Dead" in 1968. A world ravaged by an invasion of the undead can symbolize many social problems pushed to an extreme context. The distance of this extreme context in a zombie story can offer a critical perspective.

 
The beginning of writing in Sumeria in Babylon was also the creation of currency. Just as writing mediated preexisting oral traditions, money controlled by a central state mediated multiple values under one value. Rather than a simple process where force is used to take what is needed for the ruler, the mediation through central currency makes subjects more dependent on the ruler through a formation of public debt.

 
The bailout of large corporations and banks in response to the economic crisis was an attempt to save capitalism that also illustrates how the system grows. Capitalism expands by adapting to crises that seem to show the limit of growth, so if the bailout was a complete success then it would mean a more negative turn that would increase damage to worker's and consumer's rights as well as the environment. But the current crisis does not necessarily mean the absolute end of capitalism, but rather a transitional period where it can possibly evolve and survive. During that time it is vital for people to see the real underlying mechanism of capitalism in order to create alternatives that challenge the status quo.

 
Here are two videos that attempt to describe the creation of time and space as well as the abundance of 10 dimensions. These small videos aspire to explain complex ideas in a way that is easily digested, and hopefully improve public understanding of these ideas. In many ways, this is what the Internet was built for.
