That other site you might remember is back online. The author begs forgiveness for the poor design.

I did a little meditation earlier this evening before going out with a friend. When I am clearing my thoughts I often envision a flat, deserted plain, almost like a dried seabed, and a night sky of only stars. I imagined also a dead tree with an Eagle, and a rock with a Lizard, and […]

Read: Self-Image Psychology, chapter two of a book on how to change the world by changing perceptions: Why Not Utopia?.

People don’t get along well. We don’t want the same things, and we dislike compromise. Which is unfortunate, because we often gamble everything on the hope we will get our way, and we often lose.
We, as a culture, and a species, are gambling quite a bit, right now, that global warming and abrupt climate change […]

Can we just start this planet over from scratch? Excuse my negativity. Pphfft.
I suppose if I could just taken the following for granted and not let it get to me, I’d be able to achieve a more optimistic attitude.
