Conserapedia & CAMERA are phenomena to be investigated: sophisticated right-wing propaganda. They are “Wikipedia”-type gateways to the Alternative Realities of significant sub-populations in the USA. << PROPAGANDA >> Conspiracies have us think of “propaganda” as strategic information aimed at shifting the views of others; enemies use “propaganda” on each other. The real use of PROPAGANDA…

Was it necessary to KILL the Dallas shooter with a robot carried bomb? Why not a canister of gas to put the shooter to sleep and then capture him alive?  Why not more INCAPACITATE & CAPTURE than DRONE BOMB? Was there a reason some persons or groups didn’t want the shooter to be studied? The…

The other evening, at a newly discovered restaurant (very close to home – but discovered online) we were enjoying a fantastic meal, while a guitar/singer and saxophone played, and I was at peace. WHEN, I had a disturbing thought: This is just like it was for those on the Titanic. No Worries. Fun Moments. Our…

I KNOW you DON’T KNOW, even though I don’t know what you claim to know. I confront this all the time. Because of their expertise, experience, special education, credentials many persons claim detailed knowledge that can be demonstrated they actually don’t know.

Query: Are we all critically dysfunctional, relative to our needs to perform optimally facing our Crisis-of-Crises and Abrupt Catastrophic Climate Change? To put it another way: Does each of us need to change significantly? Or: Must all humans migrate to new settings and communities supporting/enabling/augmenting/facilitating (seafing) new life/work/play-styles? There are many types of dysfunction, and…

Genetic relationships are dominant, but not required….

That we “perceive” an external world is becoming a dangerous belief, although quite useful until recently. EXERCISE Look around you, attending to different things. Try to find a thing without a name. You may find a thing that you can name “a thing that doesn’t yet have a name”, and you can invent a name….

I am familiar only with the governments in the USA, and know that some governments in other nations are better in providing some some services than in the USA. No governments are omnipotent.
