I am a hippy that never dropped out. I have held on to impossible idealism and will not give up. I think the human race is a ticking time bomb and we are at the last tick. So what is the good of slow careful pragmatism that allows time for it all to happen with less than miraculous speed ? Right now we need near-impossible idealism or we need to go extinct so we can stop killing our planet. Other life forms may need it after we have almost destroyed it. Humans seem to be a very clever but unwise species that is not making it. At the very least we could go down with a little dignity. We have no planetary culture with both head and heart. And our numbers are so great we must have that. See you next lifetime on another planet incarnated in another species, I guess.

Knowledge treated as exclusive private property ( that is not knowledge like an invention or knowledge somebody created ) should be common knowledge and not privately hoarded.

Reading "Travels in a Stone Canoe"
SHARE More Sharing
What happens when a civilization ignores the basic patterns and basic nature of creation? Not respecting the back and forth of it and going in a monolithic direction in a dualistic universe the pursuers of this policy achieve the opposite of their proposed aim. By refusing to integrate one side it becomes an exponentially chaotic re-inclusion where the natural flow is interrupted

When science got to its climax and began to be more than merely science it found a world right here but invisible. We have so far not really got very far analyzing the philosiphical implications of this newly disovered realm.
