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.

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…

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. Today, economic systems are often the most dominant; but neither are they omnipotent.  All persons function within a network of Societal Systems,…

RATE OF CHANGE, DEGREE OF CHANGE When the UPLIFT proposal calls for a rapid & significant uplift (in the distribution) of cognitive/emotional/performance competencies in the global human population in the period of a decade – it is usually automatically rejected as impossible.
