We are accelerating - at an exponential rate - towards a complete breakdown of our world civilisation. This may be well overdue, some would say. They are wrong, but also right. And that it has happened before, so... so what? I would argue that yes, it has happened before, but never before with the a...

And it becomes clearer, each day, the lengths to which we will go - to deny reality. I should know, I am a case in point . There is an irony here . There is irony everywhere, inside everything. Well, of course there is. With the technology now available, we can rewrite the entire history of our spec...

We are a species that must constantly – and continuously, by increment - rewrite our collective history. It has happened, in front of my own eyes, in my short lifetime. Within perhaps, say, another 50 years, we will always have been a multicultural world. It may be a lot sooner than that, given the ...

I've been talking about making some new videos for a long time. All of the ones made and published so far, have been snippets . The next set of videos will not be snippets, they will be whole .

I am trying - really hard - to decide where to begin, with the presentation of the information that I have. I am trying - really hard - to decide whether it will be interesting, to anyone at all. And if it is interesting to some, or all, what effect will it have? Should I begin with the ethos of the...

I have learned so much from studying the StarCiv. So much about human nature . Both our version of human nature - and theirs . They were us, but they kept themselves safe and well by confining negative emotions to dreamstate . They faced it, respected the power and acknowledged it as the wrong path ...

Unfortunately, it is the will to be ‘better’ than other people that has driven us to where we are. Or perhaps I should say, have mainly been herded . I say herded , because I believe there are many people that do not wish to be ‘better’ than other people. They just want to be themselves and get on w...

When the dam breaks, it's going to be an extraordinary time to be alive. 'Extraordinary' has a huge number of meanings, dependent upon with which word it is coupled . Extraordinarily good - or - extraordinarily bad . As an example. I am a pessimistic optimist, or an optimistic pessimist - whichever ...
