San Francisco: Can it be Simulated?

June 12, 2011 - 1:44 pm

Posted in teds-blog | No comments

San Francisco is the name of a place that has a lot of ‘romance’ to it.   The historical narrative of its genesis is at the same time, a historical narrative of change going on around the world, the unravelling of the old ways of the old world, the threads of which were being spun into [...]

Dear Brigette, There is something I can feel that is going on in this picture of you holding the ‘Stop Harper’ sign that is not showing up in the picture. It is ‘tension’.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour -William Blake, ‘Auguries of Innocence’ The radiolarians are among the most beautiful microbial eukaryotes.  They are significant components of the marine plankton and are characterized by [...]

My inquiry into ‘what is not going right’ in our mainstream society has now piled up more than 30,000 hours, which, at minimum wage, would have a value of over $250,000.  Here is my latest ‘free’ report.

What is Politics Doing to Community?

April 26, 2011 - 12:52 pm

When God sprinkled the earth with humans or when they climbed out of clam-shells as in Haida Creation Myth, they were quickly attracted to oases, forest groves, green valleys, snug harbours and paradisiacal islands, like iron filings attracted to magnets.  ‘Community’ thus evolved, in the ‘habitat-orchestrates-the-inhabitants’ manner as Nietzsche has described it; “evolution is a [...]

Rant

My feeling is that a ‘true rant’ should spontaneously emerge, like the howling of coyotes orchestrated by the rising of a full moon. But I have lost my coyote voice and coyote ways so I feel as if I am stuck with language. Language is a poor vehicle for my rant because it divides everything [...]

Pender Island or Pirate Island?

Musings on the globally pervasive quest for ‘more personal’ community: . . .- It seems that many people have grown tired of living within a system that is ‘constantly bickering with itself’ and seems, in many ways, to be growing more ‘internally intolerant’.  The discomfort is not coming simply from differences in views and their [...]

Transcending Science and Religion (Transcending Theory)

February 18, 2011 - 7:51 pm

Posted in APN | No comments

‘Theory’ is a way of understanding how the world works which in turn shapes our behaviour and how we relate to and engage with one another and with our shared living space. ‘Theory’ can be either religious or scientific and the theories of our culture are infused into us early on in our lives.  As [...]
