There is a universal door in every person.

There is a universal door in every person. It opens on the values that can create a good life.
We are on the threshold of a sea change in humanity. Triadic philosophy is at its core.
We are moving to an era of responsibility, past the superstitions of the last 2000 years. 
We do this because we must. The world is committing slow suicide.  We can prevent it. But only by growing up.

Al Jazeera outdoes all other cable news channels

Al Jazeera outdoes all other cable news channels 

in straight news coverage, 

with fewer talking heads and 

much more reporting.

The production on the other 

cable news channels is 

a predictable formula which renders reporting 

secondary by apparent intent.

The channels serve interests 

that might not benefit from honest 

investigative reporting

or an informed electorate.

We do not care about the emotional impact 

of events on talking heads.

We care to know what is happening

to the extent that we can determine 

for ourselves what to do.

Obscurantism and personality

won't work anymore.

Fracking is like suggesting we drink poison when we're thirsty

The problem with natural gas is that it deludes us into thinking the fossil fuel problem is solved. All it does is delay the agony of the end of oil. Which comes first, the actual running out of the sticky stuff, or the cataclysms of prodigal greenhouse gas emissions and resultant warming?
We will either learn to think long-term or we will be the fools upon the sinking ship of two thousand years of bad values and mindless delusion.

Ted Cruz does harm. Harm is evil. Ted Cruz is evil.

There was nothing in the early '50s that approaches Ted Cruz. He is the product of a media collapse and public apathy, And his own evil.

PS: Ted Cruz is not alone as we all do harm. It's just that the scale of his is more breathtaking.

An Appeal for Some Entrepreneurial Chutzpah

Now my city will have four times the size of this, the largest structure of all. But it will have only three levels.

And it will be about the area of the original City of London, capable of comfortably accommodating 7-10,000. (A shade over a mile square.)

I await the architects, planners and entrepreneurs who see beyond the profits of serving retrograde notions and reconstitute the virtues of an integral city that can be walked from edge to edge. I live in one. Was born in one. People flock to what I see daily out my window. What we do not see is that that magic can now be replicated, but only by following much of what is laid out here - the iteration of what I used to call the cyber community but now simply call the city or my city. I have seen it in my minds eye since the days in the 1960s when I walked up the hill in Athens to the offices of C. A. Doxiadis to saturate myself in the notions of ekistics. 


A brief version of this appeared on my other blog but Wordpress was having indigestion. So here it is semi-cross- posted.
