As you may have guessed, I have feet sort of in both camps and sort of in neither. I have never been able to draw out the cold hard "nails it" part of evolution as an explanation of life from the minerals up. I am also not hip on accepting someone's fables for lack of… Continue reading How to explain life: as a cold dead scientific conglomerate of wishy washy half truths, the same from religion, or is it the other choice?

The rifts in humanity are minimal if you take away their utilization in divide and conquer strategies. The world may not look like it to our system-provided 3-D adventure glasses, but the world's humanity is actually more unified and "together" than ever before in history. The econo-politik manipulates differences to amplify need for greater military… Continue reading Societal change unlike maintenance democracy does not take a majority in solidarity…It does take a strong minority with solidarity and wisdom

"Grassroots governance" is local governance of government for the people and by the people. It should be an NGO (non-governmental organization). It should become a worldwide network. Local representatives should be elected by an innovative form of wisdom empowering democracy. It should be marked by friendly public debate with an absence of any concept of winner… Continue reading “Grassroots governance”

What are we here for is a question to put forth to our children and challenge them to find the answer. Scientific answers never suffice. Religious answers range from nonsense to parts of the obvious. People interestingly must discover for themselves.However, to minimize the question or to reduce its significance is foolish at best and… Continue reading Confuse “knowledge” with hooplah, and you will get hooplah in return.

The population is livable and growth is waning once the "great fill-in" is complete. The problem is the way we live on the planet. We have minds and capacity to adapt. Do we choose to live as parasites, do we choose neutral impact on our ecosystem, or do we choose net positive impact. Right now… Continue reading Turning the ship

I stand by the word on not sanctioning the corruption with our vote. We are players and like Mahatma Gandhi sometimes you have to call a spade a spade and then play another card. It is that time. We have powerful and yet peaceful cards to play regarding things as simple as insurance patronage, buying habits,… Continue reading The Revolution

The "climate" in which we all do business is going to change very soon and very rapidly because our generations don't buy the "follow along with what we are doing" line at all. When we wring control from aging hands we are creating change in real time.  Dana; don't write this off just yet. As… Continue reading Change is a brewing…

Suffice to say, we have lived in a disjointed and polarized world for 150 years, often with artificial separations in various spheres of an individual life. The delimitations are good for experiments, but life should be a seamless meld of the knowledge and wisdom of enlightened society. The future is "knowledge capital." Deep knowledge builds… Continue reading 150 years of disjointed and polarized society

Somehow, I started down the track of thinking it is "us against them", then I realized that the percentage of people around me that really care enough to give in self-sacrificing are very few. I imagined there may be a higher percentage of the so called elite, perhaps those are stalled just needing someone to… Continue reading Rich or poor… walk with me to a better future
