As human kind embarks on its last leg of an incredible technological and cultural acceleration, there are those of us that feel what is happening, but are confused about what we can and should do about it. What does it mean? where are we going? No one has all the answers, but some ask the right questions.Av4t-Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01505712619052690741noreply@blogger.comBlogger91100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096557201712823989.post-23812184994944825322009-11-14T09:17:00.002Z2009-11-14T09:53:13.599Z

Apologies to all, the last year has been a very busy one for us - so many projects and so little time.Rather than let this page become yet another defunct blog in the forgotten google wastelands, we will start updating again soon (regularly, promise), starting with an article next week about patriarchal repression. There's a lot to cover (unsurpisingly) so this may be in a few parts...

We wish to extend our commiserations to the family of Albert Hofmann after his passing away on April the 29th 2008, at the age of 102. Albert Hofmann was the discoverer of the compound LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) and thus was one of those who were responsible for the failed cultural revolution of the 60's. The story of the discovery of LSD has been told many times, but never better than by

Among the many aspects of our culture that we take for granted, the most ubiquitous is the current financial system. Few people realize that our fiscal system is not the sole method of economy, and though the present system is responsible for all of the economic problems and deficiencies that we now face, a substitute is never considered. Our present economical method (which we shall call

Gary was indicted by a US court in November 2002, accused of "hacking" into over 90 US Military computer systems from here in the UK. The unjust treatment of British citizens (and others) when facing the might of the US Military "justice" system, which practices detention without trial in Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere, and stands accused of making use of torture by allied regimes ("extraordinary

Few things have caused more conflict in the history of Man, than the belief that ones own view of the world more accurately represents objective reality than another. The truth of the matter is that none of us (read: very few) have a worldview that does not depart from reality somewhere along the way.Our egos demand that we make assumptions about the world - survival in the material world

Much is made of the distinction between Good and Evil - It is often held to be the ultimate dualistic pairing, often seen as a kind of objective universal force. All the galaxies know, apparently, the difference between (or the existence of) Good and Evil - as if it were some kind of cosmological constant, like the speed of light or absolute zero... Society, it seems, is pretty sure about what

We would like to explain the difference we perceive between fate and destiny - terms that most people hold synonymous but that we believe have fundamental distinctions.Fate is something beyond your control, a future that you are drawn to inexorably. Fate is the negation of free will to an end that may or may not be to your benefit. Fate is like a hole, and once you fall down it, there is no
