Spiral Dynamics argues that human nature is not fixed: humans are able, when forced by circumstances, to adapt to their environment by constructing new, more complex, conceptual models of the world that allow them to handle the new problems. Each new model includes and transcends all previous models. According to Beck and Cowan, these conceptual models are organized around so-called vMeme:

Too much time hunched over that computer requires some alternative pursuits to create some work-life balance, so why don't you try some "Holy Cow" yoga?

So I have to admit that the Web 2.0 phenomenon of 'social lending' all sounds very nice but is it really working? I am all for cutting out the middle man and stiffing the banks that rip us off but I can't help thinking that this type of lending must only be any good for people that can't get loans the conventional way. Call me old fashioned but I wouldn't lend anyone money over the Internet no

The internet has created a new business model for entrepeneurs where the process for starting a business is turned on its head. The business model is to first launch a website pretending that you are an established business to see if you can establish a customer base before you even think of spending a penny on actually starting a business. This model means that your risk is greatly reduced to

Did you hear the news this week that UK scientists have applied for permission to create embryos by fusing human DNA with cow eggs? The The hybrid embryos would be used for stem cell research and would be killed after 6 days once the stem cells have been extracted. This all seems a bit weird and I can understand why some people are upset by the prospect but i think in balance it is worth it. Stem

This week Microsoft launches its long awaited "i-Pod killer", the Zune in the US. Us Brits will have to wait until late 2007.The question is can Microsoft really catch up to the i-Pod revolution?

We thought it was bad enough when us cows were made to be microchipped. Something about wanting to trace the food from the farm to your plate.Well now a recent survey by the Institute for Grocery Distribution (IGD) claims that almost one in ten teenagers and one in twenty adults are willing to have a microchip implanted to pay shop bills and help to prevent card or identity fraud and muggings.
