INTRODUCTION I prefer to imagine (and work to make manifest) positive futures, which I label by Up2Met for UPLIFT to Cultural/Societal Metamorphosis.  Here I will sketch some dystopian or negative futures that I believe may well happen; not only if Up2Met isn’t created, but may be encountered along with Up2Met if we wait too long….

I seek to offer for critique: one model/scenario for long-term change, which I currently label UPLIFT to Metamorphosis: ( Up2Met ) What follows here is but a brief characterization of the process, as a basis for future dialog. The specific challenges facing humankind are not an issue. This is proposed as a “new theory” of…

It is arrogant for humans to claim creativity as their unique contribution to “the whole”, which I will name: Cosmos; a “smaller whole” being Gaia. Recognizing beauty and elegance in reality, humans have ascribed cosmic creativity to forces/entities they call Divine/Gods. Creativity is carelessly ascribed as an attribute of a creator, a god or human…

DEEP CRITIQUE of Findhorn film/project (A New Story for Humanity) & Tom Atlee’s   [2007]     StoryFields Bateson -[1968]- Koestler Macy [1946-1953] Conferences INTRODUCTION This essay has grown and diversified, as it began to reveal a meta-theme or “strange-attractor-for-discourse”. This meta-theme involves the negative contribution to our worsening Crisis-of-Crises by the inability of positive change movements…

This was extracted from an email, not sent;cut/pasted here, expanded & edited. [1] I just had an insight.  Human persons, in contemporary humankind, are like bacteria or amoeba – primarily SINGLE CELLS, in limited relationships. As bacteria, they can temporarily form systems with some degree of structure/function. The slime mold has always fascinated me, in…

[This post is an unintended repeat of almost the same post from  July 18, 2016.  In April 2017 I discovered a relevant doc on my NoteMap Outliner, and it had no indications (which I usually add – BLUE the Title) that I had posted it. Most of my added links were the same as in…

To all who have been following Larry/nuet. {This was initially drafted  9/17/2016 and just discovered 4/10/2017, not yet posted. I remains relevant. I have yet to initiate the change I need.} For a while I must change my daily behavior, and may not be replying to emails or commenting to blog posts as has become…

Insight  4/5/2007  and continuation. That we 21st century humans are but one of many stages in the evolution of our species doesn’t mean we are incomplete or somehow inferior to a later stage – or a completed state. This was motivated by my recently viewing a tweet by a dear friend, Michael Gentry, where he…

There is so, so, so much to share and to learn. These times may truly be the most exciting, ever – certainly the most confusing. POTENTIALS expand exponentially, as does their repressive BLOCKING. We can’t “communicate” Big Patterns or Large Conceptual Schemes. That is, the linear temporal exchange of bytes or bits won’t do. WE…
