Hello, my name is Carl Rittenhouse Larson, but that’s just a name that was given to me, I’ve been dissolving my ego lately, and it’s either gone or I can’t tell it’s there. A person’s name is part of the ego. I am the universe. The universe is Carl. Why should you listen to me?…

I choose this name because it is a place in history to which I have decided to connect. I claim nothing beyond a layman’s expertise. I’m choosing to paint a picture of Pythagoreanism, as a philosophy, in my own mind, with facts, and then live and meditate in that world.

For instance, the film “The Matrix” deals with a simulated universe in which all humans are trapped. This would be a fictional example of one simulated universe. How many universes of greater complexity than our own is…
When I futurize, it’s extremely difficult to discern between what I want to happen and what I think will happen. I try to be a positive person, because I like to, but also because I think it’s a good survival tactic, and this often leaves me confused in my head about what I honestly think will…
January 26, 2011 Wherever the line between the right to privacy and security is drawn, it should apply equally to governments and citizens. “The NYPD recently announced that it’s working on a mobile scanner designed to detect concealed weapons on people from up to 75 feet away.” The obvious, age old question, is where to draw…

January 19, 2012 One of the world’s most popular download sites, Megaupload.com, was shut down by US government today. The co-founders of Megaupload, and two employees, have been arrested and are being extradited to the US for trial, after which they could face significant prison sentences.
