Monday Is Global Orgasm Day!

Homework, Lessons 4 Comments

Monday, December 21, 2009, 9:47AM PST. Prepare to cum.

I know you don’t need an excuse, but let me tell you about this anyway because it’s, like, whoa.

The Global Consciousness Project is an international group of scientists, engineers and thinkers across all disciplines that keeps a network of things called Random Event Generators (called EGGs), magical machines that produce streams of random numbers, which have been shown become less and less random during global, attention-focusing events.

Could it be? Could human attention have an effect on energy and matter?

Possibly. What the Global Consciousness Project wants to do is examine the subtle correlations that reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world.

“We have learned that when millions of us share intentions and emotions, the GCP/EGG network shows correlations,” their site reads. “We can interpret this as evidence for participation in a growing global consciousness. It suggests we have the capability and responsibility for conscious evolution.”

Imagine what would happen if a significant portion of the population focused his or her energy on orgasm?

It’s a cool experiment. Of course, then the Globalgasm page gets all The Secret New Age-y, talking about how cumming all together will be like giving the world an epic hug, but, hey, whatevs–maybe Causecast will pick it up.

Information from Globalgasm.

I’m not entirely sure what they’re seeking to prove—this isn’t exactly a rigorous experiment (at least, not *scientifically* rigorous…)—but I suppose it’s a particularly accessible kind of communion (cummunion?) in any case. Even if there isn’t a global energy shift, we’re at least joining with other people (physically, emotionally, symbolically) to focus on peace.

The world of spirituality is still trying to come to grips with quantum mechanics, through better and worse ways. Probably the most notably pop presentation is “What the Bleep Do We Know?” (http://www.whatthebleep.com/), but I really find Biocentrism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocentrism) to be the most interesting, especially since it seems to converge nicely with the philosophy of Descartes, Kant, and Heidegger. And, for that matter, ideas of will-magic laid out most notably by Crowley.

So, in short, although these particular pages might seem a bit wacky and out there, I can’t say with any level of certainty that they’re totally off base. In fact, they probably have a lot more foundation than people give them credit for.

Yum, yum, Robert! As always you add incredible depth! I think you should have a spiritual/philosophical column here at Sex and the 405. Seriously.

Does the AIDS Healthcare Foundation Oppose Funding Research into an AIDS/HIV Vaccine?

Not content to become part of the gossip mill, we decided to dive into the allegations. What we found was disheartening.

Science Writer Carl Zimmer Publishes on Playboy, Internet Freaks Out

Carl Zimmer, a celebrated science writer, has published a piece about Neil deGrasse in the January issue of Playboy magazine.

The Story of a Disappearing Critique on Google+

Whatever your views may be when it comes to flesh on social networks, you have to agree that a process that doesn’t notify users of actions being taken by a social network with regard to their content is one that breeds insecurity and doubt. How can we feel that Google+ is an extension of our homes when we can’t be sure that we’re allowed to voice our opinions? This situation is grave indeed.

The Sad Ballad of Halloween

Halloween is an artifact that has existed far longer than this country, under various names and in many guises over time. It’s a weird, twisted survivor that survives by absorbing the qualities of the culture in prominence where the day is celebrated. These days, people shake their heads when they think about Halloween — how could a kid’s dress-up holiday have become so grossly sexualized?

How Can We Build Communities in a Potentially Hostile Environment?

What happened to us? What happened to people me? Where I was running with packs of people who have bold ideas, inventing these amazing things, being at the forefront, and now I’m handing my communities and my value over to gatekeepers? And these things are being built not by leaders, but by followers. So why are we doing this?
