This term, LOOKING AHEAD, popped into my head last night ( 6/17/2013) associated with a rising insight and a sequence of associated thoughts. I played with this as I was in bed trying to sleep and resisted going to the computer.  I woke this morning with the thought in my mind and quickly entered it…

Alex & Fabio – thanks for the valuable feedback.  Almost everything you say I have thought of and some I have tried – although I may have used different terminology. I don’t code.  Others over the years have made similar suggestions. A while ago I devoted considerable time trying to use Project Design & Management…

PREFACE: This essay was put together by bits and pieces and is not a coherent argument. It is NOT my intention to focus on this issue, although I will always keep it on the side. There may be an intrinsic “evil” but I prefer to believe circumstances can result in phenomena that are perceived as…

SPECULATIVE EXPLORATION When scientists began to explore the invisible world of the very small, they tried to apply metaphors from the macro world of  sensory observable objects and events, persons and relationships to the micro world.  Evidence for the micro world occur as visible “readings” on macro instruments where within is a sample of material…

It has been a while since my mind was stirred by cascades of such valuable insights. No foundational changes (for me); but significant reminders of prior insights hibernating and very useful perspectives on the use of common terms, such as “nature” and “composition”.  The most recent and most powerful was a 2010 essay by Bruno…

These thoughts were motivated reading Rupert Sheldrake’s SCIENCE SET FREE.  They have not been organized to “make a point”, but are shared because they are relevant as we examine the expanding and uncertain context within which we all live. I sense a confusion between what Sheldrake calls materialism and what I will call space-time existentialism. …

email to info@globalgea.net  on 2/2/2013 — no response as of 3/29/2013 Bill Veltrop and fellow Metamorphosis Supporters. Bill just replied briefly to my recent post in TNE introducing me to GlobalGEA.   It will take me a while to explore your site, and since there are thousands of viable sites emerging it will be hard to…

ABSTRACT Has anyone attempted an even rough sketch scenario for the rest of the 21st century? With almost everyone believing humans will be around in 2100, what might have been our history? This absence I call a Blind Spot: a Hole in Our Future. I bring this up because I have been working on one…

INTRODUCTION My initital title for this essay was Conceptualizing Meta Schemes, as distinct from Emotionalizing Meta Visions. My early exemplars are embryological development and educational futures emergence. The distinction I make between Conceptualizing and Intuiting is parallel to that made by Daniel Kahneman in his Slow/Fast distinction of fundamental human brain processes.  “Emotion” plays a…

(FIRST DRAFT COMPOSED 3/16/2013) DEFINING COMPREHENSION You can comprehend a topic/concept without having to believe in its “truth” or “possibility”.  Indeed, prior judgement as to truth or possibility is only valid from full comprehension; and details of comprehension can be used to argue falsity and impossibility. This distinction, when attempting to share with others, between…
