Great thinkers

Postmodernism:
a) All truth is limited, approximate, and is constantly evolving
b) No theory can ever be proved true (we can only show that a theory is false)
c) No theory can ever explain all things
d) Thus absolute and certain truth that explains all things is unobtainable.
 
"The ONLY ABSOLUTE TRUTH is that there are NO ABSOLUTE TRUTHS" (Feyerabend)
"Finally, if nothing can be truly asserted, even the following claim would be false,
the claim that there is no true assertion." (Aristotle)
"If anyone thinks nothing is to be known, he does not even know whether that can be known,
as he says he knows nothing." (Lucretius)
"And isn't it a bad thing to be deceived about the truth, and a good thing to know what the truth is?
For I assume that by knowing the truth you mean knowing things as they really are." (Plato)
 
Ludwig Wittgenstein 1889-1951
 
"Our investigation is a grammatical one. Such an investigation sheds light on our problem by clearing misunderstandings away. Misunderstandings concerning the use of words, caused, among other things, by certain analogies between the forms of expression in different regions of language."
 
“For a large class of cases–though not for all–in which we employ the word “meaning” it can be defined thus: the meaning of a word is its use in the language.”
 
Karl Marx
The gap between the rulling classes and the workers. Society needs to be restructured. Workers become the commodety themselves as well as what they are working on.
 
Lead to socialism.

Lightwave

I have had my first 3D modeling & animation lesson today. We need to research, develop and create our own world of the future using the Lightwave software. I have come up with an initial idea which is actually drawn from an activity I did in a science lesson about 5 years ago in Year 9. We had to create a way for humans to live on another planet as the world was being destroyed. My idea was to build a large dome on the moon and use large air tanks to supply the air until a self sustaining environment was created, through the growth of plants. I am using this as my starting point and initial idea and developing it further from there.

Here is my first design sheet, it isn't very big because the college scanners are not working so I have had to take a picture on my phone (5MP so decent size) but then send it to Wordpress (as blogger doesn't have a UK mobile utility) and then save it to upload it. My life story over, that's why it is only a small image.

I have started to look at a couple of different ideas for developing the design.

I am quite excited about this project. I am now off to do more research!
