The State of Zero State – 2014
This is a statement to clarify (to some extent) the degree to which ZS has evolved and its current state of existence. My qualification for writing this is as nominal head of ZS, in its incarnation as a Wave Group 2 organization. If you do not know what that means… well, you should find out. Originally ZS grew out of Transhumanism, to which it is still strongly tied via its Principles. However, the political and technological aspects now dominate in the form of ZS Projects. In “The Good Old Days” of 2012 it was envisaged that ZS would define its actions via semi-autonomous projects which fell under different headings and…

Military Conscription Shows the Evil of Ukraine’s Government
Author: Gennady Stolyarov II I have, in the past, expressed ambivalence regarding the government of Oleksandr Turchynov and Arseniy Yatseniuk in Ukraine, but that government’s decision on May 1, 2014, to impose military conscription for men aged 18 to 25 clearly reveals it to be evil and unworthy of even verbal support, not to mention the material assistance and economic bailouts currently lavished on it by Western governments and the International Monetary Fund. As I wrote in 2008 in “Why Freedom is Free and Rights Are Right: The Case Against Conscription, Compulsion, and Confiscation”, conscription is murder by lottery: “By fielding an army of conscripts, a government necessarily guarantees that…

The Human Machine
This is a 15 minute documentary project created as part of a post graduate course in science communications at Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. Any views documented here, or techniques shown, are in no way to be considered as being endorsed by Imperial College nor indeed the creators of the video itself. My involvement with the project came about due to replying to a request in a Reddit subgroup dedicated to exploring Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the brain (tDCS) by three postgraduates: Aliyah, Letizia and Patrick (surnames withheld on request). They wanted to make a short documentary as part of their course and to feature such work…

Introduction To The Wave Chronicle
The Wave Chronicle site has grown to become more than I could have hoped. We openly work with anyone, who in turn, is willing to work with us. It does not matter what group you are a part of or your beliefs. The Wave Chronicle’s goal is to bring positive change and we are willing to listen to anyone, who in turn is willing to listen to us. The Wave Chronicle will always tackle subjects that are controversial. We look to inspire debate, communication, and thought. Our site is not meant to be, “warm and fuzzy”. We will cover subjects that will piss people off, but we hope that…

War is the Worst Choice for Ukraine and the World
Author: Gennady Stolyarov II As I write this, people have already been killed in the confrontation between pro-Putin militants of the self-proclaimed “Republic of Donetsk” in Eastern Ukraine and the “anti-terrorist” forces sent by the interim Ukrainian government to suppress the insurgents. (Calling them “rebels”, “separatists”, “militants”, even “provocateurs” may be legitimate – but the use of the label “terrorist” here only further eviscerates any meaning that term once had in referring to people who deliberately kill civilians to make a political or ideological point.) It is not precisely clear what is happening on the ground – who is prevailing, and who is responsible for the initiation of force. What…

TechnoProgressive Iconography – Zero State and Public Use Logos
The political arm of Zero State is defined as a Techno-Progressive political party or organization. As such, its defining characteristic is the belief in the use of science, technology and rationality applied to government in order to achieve desired social aims through evidence based policy. We would also like to ensure that elected officials are not (as is generally the case at present) scientifically illiterate. Our modern society is, after all, unique in history because of the power with which science has imbued it. However, this article does not primarily concern definitions but the logos we have decided to use, and especially the basic logo we created for the Techno-Progressive…
