<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">Hi all<br _moz_dirty="" />I interviewed Rudy for Digimag a few years ago, also talking about Post-Singular (http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1204).<br _moz_dirty="" />Generally speaking, I think that Rudy's approach often includes amazing ideas related to open and p2p (i.e. the idea of a global network made by nano-particles that interfere directly with the brain); his main core, anyway, is always an extremely psichedelic approach to life and spirituality.<br _moz_dirty="" />So, nothing particularly strong from the scientific or philosophical point of view, but a lot of great insights and visions.<br _moz_dirty="" />Ciao<br _moz_dirty="" />Bertram<br _moz_dirty="" /><br /><br /><span>Il 26/01/11, <b class="name">Michel Bauwens </b> <michelsub2004@gmail.com> ha scritto:</span><blockquote cite="mid:AANLkTikK=9Sur75jiNwnxNHRuvZZL=HBjNQ2YEVQbOmg@mail.gmail.com" class="iwcQuote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 13px; margin-left: 0pt;" type="cite"><div class="mimepart text html">ok, I prefer Vernor Vinge in that post-singularity style,<br /><br />Michel<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 11:35 AM, Kevin Carson <span dir="ltr"><free.market.anticapitalist@gmail.com <free.market.anticapitalist@gmail.com>></span> wrote:<br />
