SURGERY FOR Larry/nuet

On May 23 I will undergo cervical spine surgery. My risk of severe disablement by continuing spinal compression is much greater than my risk of death or disability from surgery. After surgery and recovery, I will go to some form of “assisted living”, where I expect to continue my writing and cyberspace activity. Currently I…

FORECASTING FUTURES

PROLOGUE Until we are able to travel out and back from Earth at speeds very close to light speed, we won’t be able to visit Earth at a “distant” future date. When we do this, we can’t return or inform others of our (one-way) “time travel”  into the future. Throughout their histories, humans have learned…

DEEP REALITY

I have troubling concerns that the best of our analysts’ assessments and reporting of “states” and potential trends of the “reality of humankind”, from personal & local to regional & global, is limited and seemingly oblivious to “deeper” processes behind the “surface symptoms” they consider “fundamental”. If I am correct, we are in serious trouble….
