From the safety and comfort of my home in Tucson, Arizona, America – to imagine myself living in a nightmarish theatre of the absurd  seems absurd, compared to those who lived through the fire storms in Dresden or Hiroshima  of WWII (when America went untouched and gained power and riches). Or the plight of today’s…

Does any of the new tax law apply to the 2017 tax year, forms and 2017 income/expenses? To do so is probably illegal. The forms and rules have yet to be constructed. Many firms have probably already been working on their 2017 returns, due in April 2018. All DIYS software, now on sale and purchased…

Glisten, I am impressed by your TEC ASSIST. I’m forced to realize that I need help if I am to continue productivity. I’ve recently been thinking what I need, and here I see you offer it. And, we know things about each other. I would like to discuss what you might be able to do…

Tom Greco’s excellent presentation, Disruptive Technologies are Making Money Obsolete, (15 min video), motivates this post. Disruptive Technologies may be the primary driving forces for significant, longterm, societal transformations. Within Up2Met (UPLIFT to Cultural/Societal Metamorphic Emergence) these same technologies are constructive and often foundational. I now comprehend Tom’s quality promotion of the conceptual scheme for an…

In response to Joe Brewer’s FB post: M2M = Mission_2000_Movement Joe, you have identified a general Cultural Design challenge: SCALING from COMMUNITY to GLOBAL. Praise to all the ongoing efforts reported in this thread. My 1975, 25-year proposal for Optimal Health Care, in my unpublished manuscript MISSION_2000, called for Quality Education for all, from early…

This morning, 12/6/2017, as I surveyed my multiple, diverse info about our confusing reality, some syntheses further clarified. This led to a deep sense of Critical Concern (not yet emotional fear, but conceptual alertness). None of these are new insights, but the evidence builds – not only about what might be happening (under our noses)…

Anthony, your latest arrived and I was intrigued to skim it and read the last few pages. I will not comment on this masterpiece, or on your universe of masterpieces. I wish I had the time to explore your semfield and dialog with you. I regret not having formalized my semfield as elegantly as you…

Human use of stories as a means of sharing goes back to tribal times. The narrative; the unfolding of events-in-time is hard wired into our brains. Example: An Australian aboriginal was being driven in a car. He asked the driver to slow down, as he was unable to narrate to himself the changing scenes because…

ABSTRACT The concepts of “cause” and “causation” are human created concepts, within Human Reality (HR). In Material Reality (MR) every “event” has antecedent “events”, with “everything linked to everything”. In HR, persons select out prior events, as if they were objective “causes”, on which to assign credit or blame. But, these “events” also have antecedent…

Every other year since 1994, Tucson has hosted THE SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS multi-day conference. I attended every conference until the venue moved to the expensive resort hotels. I presented papers at some. The topics range broadly from hard neuroscience and philosophy to subjective reports, altered-states, and Eastern spirituality. If my health permits, I hope to…
