In 1968 The Living Theatre, led by Julian Beck and Judith Malina, triumphantly returned to America from years of self-imposed exile in Europe with their theatrical breakthrough Paradise Now. The play introduces the practice of collective creation, dissolving the boundaries of human interactions and forging a harmony between the actors and audience. Of this process, Julian Beck writes, “Collective creation is the secret weapon of the people… This play is a voyage from the many to the one and from the one to the many. It’s a spiritual voyage and a political voyage, a voyage for the actors and the spectators. The play is a vertical ascent toward permanent revolution, leading to revolutionary action here and now. The revolution of which the play speaks is the beautiful, non-violent, anarchist revolution. The purpose of the play is to lead to a state of being in which non-violent revolutionary action is possible.”

The result of this shared voyage is the spontaneous creation of a temporary anarchist collective- free from the enslavements of war, violence, the State, money and the self.

Founded in 1947, The Living Theatre has staged more than 80 productions performed in eight languages in 25 countries on four continents - a unique body of work. Visit their new space on Clinton St. in NYC - more info:www.livingtheatre.org

These aren’t autonomous robots, of course (so begone, you Terminator nightmares, at least for now). They’re standard-issue remote-controlled machines like Foster-Miller’s low-to-the-ground Talon, which has been put to good use in dangerous places for less-aggressive duties such as finding and neutralizing roadside bombs. That means a human operator well versed in the rules of engagement would make the actual decision on whether to shoot.

…”begone, you Terminator nightmares“, says you! Where’s the microchip hidden…when do they do away with the first law, why are we showing them how to pull the trigger!

I get worried when my first person shooter adversary in my consoles games learns the virtue of patience. No more waiting for them to calm down and walk causually around the corner as if they didn’t hear the explosion. If they can do it in Half Life 2, we’re only a half-skip away from bleeding out while hearing Flight of the Conchords play the exit music.

This allows me to segue into the new Bionic Woman, which premiers on Wednesday, September 26th. While certainly more high budget than something you might see on Sci-Fi, they’ve done an effective job of at least convincing me to watch the pilot, as they’ve marketed heavily to my demographic. They were at the comic-con, they’re all over the internet, they’re on the pre-previews at the theater. I get it. Bionic Woman is coming out…chill out with the marketing dollars.

Kidding aside…hug your children. It’s all over.

Isn’t this how George Romero’s films start…

Why are we playing with fire!!

An 8-million-year-old bacterium that was extracted from the oldest known ice on Earth is now growing in a laboratory, claim researchers.

If confirmed, this means ancient bacteria and viruses will come back to life as ice melts due to global warming. This is nothing to worry about, say experts, because the process has been going on for billions of years and the bugs are unlikely to cause human disease.

Unlikely you say? Have you even read Andromeda Strain! Put it back before people start coughing up black goo, hearing techno music, and killing their pets!
