taxation without representation. DC barely has a local government. Its Congress who has jurisdiction. so yes, they are as corrupt as it gets. from wikipedia: "Article One, Section Eight of the United States Constitution grants the U.S. Congress "exclusive jurisdiction" over the city. The District did not have an elected local government until the passage of the 1973 Home Rule Act. The Act devolved certain Congressional powers to an elected mayor, currently Vincent C. Gray, and the thirteen-member Council of the District of Columbia. However, Congress retains the right to review and overturn laws created by the council and intervene in local affairs.[160]"

Is it possible, that we can only see so far into the future of technology because there is only so far it can go? We assume that we will keep up this rate of innovation forever and continue to evolve intellectually until.... what?

Perhaps the future holds something much more important for our lives than more advanced technology. Perhaps the future will be defined by a greater understanding of our universe through different means, through non technological means.

Re:I'm turning 30 and I've produced no amazing art. on Saturday December 17, 2011 @10:49PM (#3365846)
art has nothing to do with money. The only thing you can do, is find what you love. Once you do that, you practice. You practice every day until your hands bleed, but you don't care, because you love it. Loving something is not instantaneous, it is a combination of chance itself, and a decision to make a commitment to being better at what you do than anyone else. Once you have enough practice, inspiration is inevitable. The problem is, if you are focused on money, you are likely to give up on practice for the sake of practice, and you will be too busy trying to make a buck that true inspiration will pass you by.

Inspiration is a subtle force, and retreats in the face of greed.
