The Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it. William Gibson Привет This version of SSZ was instantiated Jan-01-2008. It began as the Late Nite BBS and then Macroscope BBS, both on a Commodore 64 in 1983. Solar Soyuz Zaibatsu was christened in 1984. Solar Soyuz Zaibatsu (SSZ, ssz.com) is a private network and this webpage is primarily for the day to day use of our users. That others may find it of value is a secondary, but welcome, addition. When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front-row seat. George Carlin (RIP) Navigation I'm a big believer of not having to go through a lot of buried click-throughs to get from here to there. As a result the primary mechanism we use is the menu bar you see above. This means you are usualy only one click away from any page or resource on this site. We are always working on the menu bar and the resources it links to, so it may be a little weird or some features may not work. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Non-English Language and Resources Visitors will notice that despite the fact we're located in Austin, Tx. there are resources on this site that are not in English. We apologize for any discomfort or trouble this may cause. However, the fact remains that we live in a world of many cultures and languages and I have an active interest in several of them. Don't be surprised to find resources on this site in Spanish, French, German, Russian, Finnish, Japanse, or Chinese. For those who understand why 42 is the answer to all things we offer the Babelfish as a partial solution [1]. Science, Technology, Economics, Politics, Pantheism, & Transhumanism Science is the exploration and description of nature made through a variety of techniques and processes. Technology is the result of applying human psychology, politics, and economics to science. Pantheism is a religion or philosophical belief based on the abandonment of transcendence and the equating of the concept of God with the Cosmos. Transhumanism is the result of applying science, technology, philosophy, and politics to the future of mankind. It's fundamental belief is that we have now collected enough information about the cosmos and ourselves to step outside of the strictly natural or Darwinian consequences of our history to plan and engineer not only ourselves but our reality.
