Anyway, while I was reading about the Global Orgasm project (oh yeah!), I started to explore the way they plan on measuring whether there is a change in global consciousness.
I was surprised to find that the measurements were to be done by a group at Princeton and even more surprised when I looked at some of the data.
I have not explored the site extensively, but I believe the basic idea is that they have placed Random event generators around the world, which should, measured over an average of events, give the same value (like 200 coin tosses should really give 100 heads and 100 tails). Deviations from the norm are looked for an correlated with world events, the idea being that major world events would increase global consciousness and effect, somehow, randomness.
Okay. whatever. but then I saw the graph of data from the week around sept 11.
The y-axis shows the odds against the deviations from norm with each 0 being the start of a day (so from sept 6 - 13th).That is pretty fucked up. A good question was brought up regarding increased electromagnetic (i.e. due to increased use of internet, cell phones, etc.) but they say that they have corrected for this.
Anyway, interesting to look into. Global consciousness potentially affecting randomness.
oh, global orgasm day is Dec 22nd. Y'all ready?

you know i lap this stuff up. not too dissimilar is the transcendental meditation stuff that David Lynch is always going on about. he did that demonstration in DC where he had a couple hundred people meditating and lowered the crime rate or something equally as fantastic.
the whole orgasm angle is interesting though. you should look into Wilhelm Reich, 'orgastic potency', and the idea of 'orgone energy' in general.
