"I’ve now long known something not everyone seems to pick up on: that external referencing is not our friend. Capitalist/industrialist/individualist culture is not our friend. Patriarchy is not our friend. Our own mind, when shaped by these influences, is not our friend. When our mind is not our friend, we aim to escape, to forget in whatever way ... Continue Reading >>

Melissa Allison: What is Real?
"We each know our own sliver of what’s happening based on what we experience directly or through media (deep faked or otherwise).

The 'big picture' is mesmerizing... and a little bit terrifying. This conversation with Greg Carlwood of The ... Continue Reading >>
Peter Diamandis: The Future is Faster Than You Think
I sometimes wonder: Is this (i.e. pandemic) 'the thing' or is it what is being used to distract us from 'the thing' (i.e. biosphere collapse)?
