		<title>33 Miners, One 45-Minute Video, 22 Days In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now here&#8217;s an idea: what if the trapped Chilean miners are actually using this unfortunate event to get themselves on a new Reality TV show? Sure would be more interesting than Jersey Shore. I have a strong feeling  media theorists will be talking about this collapse for a very long time. And if they don&#8217;t, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christopherdelatorre.com&amp;blog=1252344&amp;post=4713&amp;subd=leavesofthetree&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Zift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on Vladislav Todorov’s novel of the same name, Zift, a film by Javor Gardev, follows the life of ’Moth’ (Zahary Baharov)&#8212;a man paroled after spending time in the Sofia Penitentiary for a crime he didn’t commit. Having missed his son Leonid’s birth and death in prison, he vows to visit his grave once freed.

		<description><![CDATA[In 2010, self-promotion whores flock to Facebook and find gigs on Reality TV. But back in the day, they had political scandals and the backrooms of mega churches. It&#8217;s hard to believe Americans actually entertained the idea of impeaching a president over a blow job and a couple of stains on a cocktail dress. Just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christopherdelatorre.com&amp;blog=1252344&amp;post=4667&amp;subd=leavesofthetree&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Our Posthuman Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lord Martin Rees, upon addressing the Long Now Foundation: Over the truly long term, our posthuman descendants will become—not just second-generation intelligences—but thousand-generation or million-generation intelligences&#8230;. In a billion years of biological evolution, we’ve gone from bugs to humans, and technological evolution is a lot faster than biological. Our distant descendants will be not just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christopherdelatorre.com&amp;blog=1252344&amp;post=4660&amp;subd=leavesofthetree&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>the Rights of the Ecosystems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2008, with nearly 70 percent of voter approval, Ecuador became the first country to extend constitutional rights to nature, although it&#8217;s uncertain how a poor country like Ecuador can protect such rights, or what species are protected. Some jurisdictions in the United States have adopted laws that recognize the rights of the ecosystems. This [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christopherdelatorre.com&amp;blog=1252344&amp;post=4647&amp;subd=leavesofthetree&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

How we shadow boxed in the face of this apocalypse&#8212;we, the barnacles [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christopherdelatorre.com&amp;blog=1252344&amp;post=4529&amp;subd=leavesofthetree&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only two films that ever scared me: The Elephant Man (David Lynch, 1980) and Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979). Both films elaborate on the posthuman condition as a transformation from &#8216;familiar&#8217; to &#8216;unfamiliar&#8217; (from &#8216;self&#8217; to &#8216;other&#8217;)&#8212;a profound change that recombines historical characterizations of man (savage, neanderthal, apprentice, technology, master, creator) and graphically destroys/degenerates the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christopherdelatorre.com&amp;blog=1252344&amp;post=4565&amp;subd=leavesofthetree&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
