15 Real-World Examples — Natural selection. In multicellular organisms, DNA is the structural loop that is replicated from generation to generation. Environmental stimuli and sexual reproduction bring the mutations. This introduces chaos into the system: the DNA is not only replicated but iterated (a little different each time). These genetic differences give rise to…

Poets of Perception, Magicians of Matter From an ego-centric perspective, one makes art. I make art. From a trans-personal or trans-individual perspective, art emerges from the collective psyche, and is completely inseparable from it. It is the expression of our inherently creative collective consciousness, which is itself an elaborate organic…

Today I would like to share an invitation with you. It is an invitation to overturn some of our most basic assumptions about what the world is, where it came from, and why it is all happening — and to step into a far vaster and more incredible conception of…

Infinite Freedom of the Infinite (Meta-)Play — Join me, if you will, in entertaining a little story about reality. It goes like this: We are all characters in a play. The play is infinitely vast and exquisitely complex, ornate and beautiful — but it is still a play. It isn’t real. …

It’s explanatory scope and power is really quite something. I’m going to use a short autobiographical piece to walk through the concepts…

We are fast approaching a unprecedented point in modern history: the point where the global death rate exceeds the global birth rate, and the world population begins to decline. In an age of increasing resource scarcity, this decline is going to be steady, drawn-out — and for most of us, incredibly painful. This article is going to unpack some of the lesser-discussed effects of this massive existential crisis on our collective evolution. They are not all bad.
