A Guide to Cosmic Evolution – Part 2
Continuing from part one in A Guide To Cosmic Evolution, we may now begin to realize civilization as the rapid phase transition between one cis-natural sort of biosphere and a completely different one as an outcome, a trans-natural mechanosphere. Earth, as it resides at this very moment of typing, is like a cocoon concealing the butterfly within it, evolving beyond its senseless phase, preparing for [...]
Ignorance is bliss?
The common quote for underpriveledged brains is ‘ignorance is bliss’. This popular argument of self irresponsibility complements a complete inversion of natural order that allows them to continue feeling superior above everyone else regardless of whether it is real or not. They think that if we can invert the meaning of happiness, instead of the few achieving it, then the many can enjoy unlimited [...]

Renaissance humanism also fails us today
Once upon a time, populations weren’t diverse, at least not anywhere near to the forced extent they are today. Some of these non-diverse populations started to think of ways to avoid conflict among themselves, which included thinking about ending fratricide. One consequence of the development of humanist philosophy during the Renaissance was the increased emphasis [...]
Gaming: Just another barbituate
Modern society is full of addictive behaviors, but it also empowers the people who exhibit them, such that we end up listening to every reason but the most obvious one regarding the true source of the problem. We like to blame external factors or at least try to come up with external solutions to problems [...]
