Walt Disney envisioned a hopeful vision of the future influenced by 1950s optimism in technology and space exploration. He designed Tomorrowland at Disneyland and EPCOT at Walt Disney World to showcase how scientific progress could improve lives and society. Disney collaborated with scientists to create attractions presenting developments in fields like agriculture, energy, and transportation to inspire visitors with a brighter outlook. However, Disney's future has been seen as increasingly dated as actual technological changes diverged from his mid-20th century expectations.

Culture Shock Manifesto
This document discusses how art reflects the time period and beliefs of its creation. It argues that 19th century notions of linear causality no longer apply given modern scientific discoveries. The rapid technological changes of the 21st century have not been matched by changes in how art engages audiences. The document advocates for more two-way, collaborative models of art that turn observers into protagonists and reflect the accelerated, interconnected present. It suggests that 2012 could be a time for revealing new approaches to creative expression that are relevant to current experiences of reality.

This document discusses how art reflects the time period and beliefs of its creation. It argues that 19th century notions of linear causality no longer apply given modern scientific discoveries. The internet has also changed how culture is created and shared, with most artistic expression now occurring online rather than traditional galleries and museums. The document advocates for art that embraces nonlinear narratives and turns observers into active participants, in order to be relevant to the present moment. It promotes the idea that an "apocalypse" or revelation is needed to disclose what has been hidden and update understandings of what it means to exist now.

The Idea of Progress
This document discusses different views of progress throughout history. It begins by describing how early societies viewed progress as either a decline from a past golden age or a path towards salvation. It then discusses Eastern religious views that see the human world as an illusion. It describes the concept of eternal cycles of rise and fall. The document then outlines different perspectives on progress, including the idea that technological and scientific advances drive moral and physical improvements for humanity. It also discusses critiques of the idea of inevitable progress and debates around the relationship between evolution and progress.

Walk the Future like a Landscape: Theorizing an Interdisciplinary Approach
This document discusses an interdisciplinary approach to understanding landscapes. It draws from the work of scholars who see landscapes as both physical environments shaped by human design as well as cultural constructs that help make sense of the world. The author advocates examining landscapes as sites of intervention composed of possible behaviors and considering partial tactical adjustments. Questions are posed about how to walk through and theorize about the future using a landscape approach that incorporates human passion, intelligence and imagination.
HIST 100x - Unit 2
The document discusses the origins of modernity and examines whether the Renaissance and Reformation periods can be considered the beginning of the modern world. It explores ideas like invented traditions, the role of the individual during the Renaissance, and the rise of humanism as opposed to divine law during the Middle Ages. Big pictures trends in population, energy use, and living standards over the past 250,000 years are presented. The concept of the Anthropocene, or Age of Man, is introduced to describe the unprecedented changes caused by human civilization in recent centuries.
Jacque fresco2
This document provides an overview of human evolution and development over hundreds of thousands of years. It discusses three major cultural leaps - the use of tools and fire 600,000 years ago, the development of agriculture 7,500 years ago, and the invention of writing 5,000-6,000 years ago. These advances allowed humans to live in larger groups and cities, accumulate knowledge, and develop more complex social and political structures. Early civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt established many foundations of modern society, such as standardized weights and measures, currency, loans, and business practices. The pace of change has accelerated dramatically in recent centuries.
Space Humanism
Humanity’s constant project is expanding the range of attainable geography. Melville’s romance of the sea gives way to Kerouac’s romance of the road, and now the romance of space. In expanding into new geographies, markets (commerce) is the driving impulse, entailing a legal and judiciary system to order the new larger continuous marketplace, which brings a bigger overall scope of world under our control, and hence a new idea of who we are as subjects in this bigger domain.
Space Humanism is a concept of humanism based on the principles of inclusion, progress, and equity posited as a condition of possibility for a potential large-scale human movement into space. A philosophy of literature approach is used to contextualize Space Humanism, first through Melville-Foucault to articulate the mind-frame of extra-planetary geographies as one of human expansion, and second through posthuman philosophy extending from Shakespeare’s Renaissance humanism to contemporary enhancement-based theories of subjectivation.
Historical imaginaries outline subjectivation moments that have changed the whole notion who we are as humanity. Four examples are: the concept of the “new world” in Hegel’s philosophy, von Humboldt’s infographic maps, Baudelaire as the Painter of Modern Life, and Keats’s seeing the world in a new way upon reading an updated translation of Homer.
The reach to beyond-Earth geographies is a two-cultures project involving both arts and science. Technical competence is necessary to realize the aspirational, explorational, and survivalist aims of humanity pushing beyond planetary limits. Space was once a fantastic dream that is becoming quotidian with fourteen U.S. spaceports, six completed Blue Origin space tourist missions, and SpaceX having over 155 successful rocket launches including human space flights to and from the International Space Station. The notion of Space Human articulated through Shakespeare, Moby-Dick, and neuroenhancement informs the project of our reach to awaiting beyond-Earth geographies.
Creativity Past Present And Future
The document summarizes a conference on creativity from the past to the future. It discusses how creativity was viewed in early creation myths and how it was associated with genius and madness. It explores how structures and studies of creativity have developed over the 20th century in teams, organizations, and industries. The document outlines many theories of creativity and says creativity will be even more important in the 21st century for human and environmental well-being.
Science Corner 2013, Day 4
This document provides information about Leonardo da Vinci, notably that he was an Italian polymath born in 1452 in Vinci and lived during the Renaissance. While best known as a painter producing works like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, da Vinci was also an inventor, scientist, mathematician and engineer. His conceptual drawings included designs for machines like helicopters and tanks that were not built for hundreds of years due to technological limitations of his time. The document emphasizes that da Vinci should be remembered not just as a painter but as an amazing inventor ahead of his time.
#Educamp 2014: TED für Lehrer
The document provides an extensive list of TED Talk titles covering a wide range of topics from climate change and sustainability to technology, science, design, and more. It encourages the use of TED Talks in education by suggesting watching videos for classroom use, organizing one's own TEDx conference, hosting TEDx events for youth, integrating TED-Ed lessons regularly into classes, and using translation features for alternative English instruction. The document stresses that there is more to explore on the TED website and through contacting local TEDx organizers.
Research Investigation
This document summarizes and compares the portrayals of future technology in three science fiction works: The Jetsons, Rick and Morty, and Black Mirror. The Jetsons presents an optimistic view of the future where technology improves life through automated appliances. Rick and Morty takes a more balanced approach, acknowledging both benefits and risks of futuristic inventions. Black Mirror depicts a dystopian future where advanced technology negatively impacts and isolates people. Overall, the document analyzes how each work uses futuristic technology to represent different interpretations of what life could be like in the future.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
