It’s a bit of a funny way to say it but reality did pivot on the signing of the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta doesn’t explicitly say this but what it recognizes is that everyone has a soul. And in the eyes of God everyone is equal. And we here on Earth need to establish…

The ennui of elitism
It is basic human nature – the desire for novelty. It isn’t exactly correct to define it as a search to belay boredom but let me paint you a picture. We are always looking for something new and novel. And in this search things will inevitably escalate. What was novel to you for a while…
The brilliance of celibate priest versus the corruption of the Bourgeois politicians
On March 9, 1074, the reforming pontiff Gregory VII excommunicated all married Roman Catholic priests, establishing the requirement of celibacy that remains in effect today. The reason why the Pope did this is because he saw that priests were having sons and grandsons who were becoming priests. It created bloodlines of families that were amassing…
I know what’s wrong with the world – I just don’t know how to fix it
Since the beginning of mankind we have lived in small groups – typically my guess would be no more than 200 people. And through the eons we have become tuned to this ratio of one person among no more than 200. There are many checks and balances in this ratio. This group size enables enough…

Real art died when Van Gogh died
Throughout all of human history people had to struggle to stay alive. Every day was a challenge. And people worked very hard just to exist. And when you are exerting all of your energy to keep yourself alive you have no thoughts of art. And art blossoms when prosperity sets in. When people are doing…
The Corkscrew of Complexity or The deeper we dig the less we know
Carl Sagan had a beautiful quote that I still remember decades after he said it. “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” While this is a beautiful thing to say and even profound I think it’s a little bit off the mark…
Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and the ocean of humanity
Hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes are things that shake up the Earth. And while they can be devastating they are also necessary. They cause a churn; a part of a process of tear down and re-build. The system needs this cycle; otherwise stagnation sets in. It is the same for everything. If there was no moon…
TTATG
TTATG You are not a human being. You are a soul – eternal. You are forever, have existed for all time and will continue to do so forever. You have chosen to bring yourself into this current experience. For reasons of your own. And you have chosen the circumstances in which you live – all…
