Why We Crave Creativity but Reject Creative Ideas
Most people view creativity as an asset — until they come across a creative idea. That’s because creativity not only reveals new perspectives; it promotes a sense of uncertainty. The next time your great idea at work elicits silence or eye rolls, you might just pity those co-workers. Fresh research indicates they don’t even know…
We Need To Do More When It Comes To Having Brief, Panicked Thoughts About Climate Change
The 20 hottest years on record have all taken place in the past quarter century. The resulting floods, wildfires, and heat waves have all had deadly consequences, and if we don’t reduce carbon emissions immediately, humanity faces bleak prospects. We can no longer ignore this issue. Beginning today, we must all do more when it…

So do something about it
A huge share of the United States economic growth over the past 30 years has gone to the top one-hundredth of one percent living there, who now make an average of $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90 percent of us? $31,244. This societal paradigm infects all other nations and is…
Melancholia
Humans live their existences locked in their own Byzantine theatre, denying most of what happens around them and screwing the rest of reality over as disinterested as the cosmos is disinterested in us. All this which encapsulates and permeates those small humans means nothing. All of the world we know is an epiphenomena of planetary…
Freedom of Value
Thought experiment. What if a bank or institution in the EU or US decides to issue a coin. The organization issues the coin freely. Everyone can buy it, and it is backed by a basket of gold, silver, a set amount of potabkle water, specific utilities, a number of highly standardized foodstuffs, oil, and (while…
A Monstrous Idea
Imagine this blasphemous idea. Facebook or Google closes a deal with Second Life. Either allows a page or service that allows a login. The login creates a generic, mesh-based avatar in Second Life chosen from a list of default avatars. These avatars materialize anywhere in PG (?) rated parts of Second Life. Now here comes…

Democracy 2.0
The current Democratic system has become unacceptable. Here is an idea. A nice variant would be this (it’s a bit contrivied but it might work) 1. You can vote any time. By voting you select another person – this can be anyone and express that vote for that person. This vote is secret. Voting does…

Apartheid and occupation is ending.
Israel and the 10 agorot fundies know what is coming – and end to western (EU/US) hegemony in the middle east, an end to the endless dominionist shilling in the US and the EU. Too bad for those bastards that stole Palestinian land, like this Nadia. She will have to vacate her stolen land and…

Can’t Even Go to the Park
Update 1 (lol) Update 2 (lol) The same people who say I shouldn’t impose my morality on them, are imposing immorality on me and my children to the point that I literally have a hard time even leaving my home anymore to do something as simple as visit the park. And this is freedom? I…
SSPS Redux
under construction A year ago I wrote this article in my old blog. It has become more poignant than ever, so I needed to clean it up and rewrite it. So here is the new and improved version for September 2011. SSPS == Space Solar Power Systems A good year ago I had the amazing…
The Cognitive Horizon
Humanity has screwed up a few times. Right now our global political systems are screwing up, in a spectacular manner. Take this current example – (commentary) There clearly is not a problem with resources. China can pave over massive regions with useless resources. This is insanity in action, and a clear sign of a system…
