Scarcity/Survival Mode
It’s Analog, and…It’s Digital!
Analog – in terms of wavelengths, means a spectrum of information flowing. Digital – also in terms of wavelengths, means on or off, 1 or 0, black or white. One or another. In analog speak – we make analogies….like metaphors. In digital speak – we live in pure survival, life, and death thinking. Both are …
Quiet Desperation
I have been studying, analyzing, and contemplating this quote since I was 16-years-old. I even wrote two essays on it my junior year in high school, one for history class, the other for advanced English (I still have a copy, in my own handwriting from those days). I used to believe I understood this quote from …
Website Updates
I apologize for the several emails from post updates for my subscribers. I have been having some issues with my server and website plugin updates. This has caused me to have to update and change designs for functional reasons. Doing my best to keep up with it when I have a chance. I appreciate everyone’s …
The End of an Era
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pull to write an article for this site. I have been going through unimaginable changes in my life and have had no way to describe it let alone share it with everyone. As many of you know, several months ago, Stane (Steve/Zane) and I agreed to …
The Darkness gives you what you ask of it!
We, as a society, are stuck on the concept that all darkness is bad. That’s what we call a “bias” in that it influences how we see the world. If we get stuck believing that all darkness is bad or evil, we end up unknowingly perpetuating a sense of self-loathing. As humas, we all have …
Diminishing Entitlement Syndrome
White culture has been programmed into believing that they are entitled to an American Dream. Privileged Americans mistakenly believe that lower classes exist merely to serve them. This has been going on for generations, but in today’s America the elite are feeling effects of a struggling economy as well. Because of this, a vast swath …
Accountability
Last Thursday the House of Representatives voted to pursue Steve Bannon, who potentially faces criminal contempt charges for ignoring a Congressional subpoena. It was a bi-partisan vote in which nine Republicans opted to uphold the law. Just when I thought all hope was lost, a smattering of Republicans displayed a capacity to act like rational …
Chh chh chh chh chaanges….
I realize that we, as a society, have all been going through unimaginable changes since the pandemic began. Over the last year, we have become more aware of things we may have not stopped to notice before. This process alone, has the potential to change how you see everything in the world…. Personally, I have …
Trust is not a myth…
What do I mean by that? One of my favorite questions about the model came as such an obvious one that had not even occurred to me. It was pointed out by a colleague who asked, “how are you supposed to trust?” This question sent me down a rabbit hole, that in the end, would …
May Update
I have been underground for some time lately. After graduation in August, then defending and passing my dissertation while simultaneously packing household “go” bags (with smoke filling our home and evacuation notices looming ever closer from all the Oregon wildfires last fall), I had a biological break down, resulting in infections and overall exhaustion. After …
Trump and the Matrix
Television programs are exactly that, programming. Donald Trump was a part of that programming. He acted out the part of an industrious tycoon. Remember, he is a part of the programming. We spent years hearing him say, “you’re fired!” with his actions being glorified. We seemed to have forgotten that he is an actor. He …
