net energy and relocalization
Chris Martenson has been working to raise awareness of the coming economic transition for a while now through videos like his Crash Course series, which explains fundamentals of money creation, net energy and environmental depletion. This is a great ten minute summary of net energy and the crisis we are about to face. All the [...]
the true cost of the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan
An amazing video from GOOD on the true cost of the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan alone. It is no longer an argument about whether we should be there or not, it is an argument about whether we can afford it or not. Especially since 20,000 Americans a day are applying for food stamps. [...]
demonstrating telepathy with an experiment
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake has always been one of my favorite scientists willing to challenge the scientific paradigm. This short video demonstrates a simplistic version of his telepathy experiments. To demonstrate his concept of morphic fields, channels of information exchange within families, species and the ecosystem Sheldrake asks these sisters to guess which one is on [...]
China’s growth comes under question
Much like the rest of the world economy right now, China’s economy growth is propped up by a massive stimulus. The drive for incessant GDP growth has led to the development of a city where no one lives developed by the coal millionaires,
cultural revolution is the solution
Paul Ehrlich is convinced that global civilization collapse is coming and that the only solution is a cultural revolution. Ehrlich made a name for himself by taking controversial stances on population and many people have interpreted that as eugenics. I don’t think we are overpopulated in principle but overpopulated in method.
an alternate monetary operating system
Douglas Rushkoff isn’t always making the most economically popular arguments but I think he’s on to something when talking about currency. Thinking that the current incarnation of the monetary economy is the only system for money isn’t only dangerous, it is incredibly ignorant. As the energy supporting overinflated fiat currencies like the US dollar becomes [...]
Collapse, coming to a theatre near you… hopefully before things fall apart
As independent journalist Michael Ruppert sits in a chair, in a dark room, smoking and saying alarming things my remote desire for business as usual went up in the smoke from the end of his cigarette. I’ve seen Chris Martenson’s Crash Course a few times. I’ve seen the 45 minute version of it too. I’ve [...]
witches were real and very different what how you thought
I real Paul Devereux’s The Long Trip over the summer and was really impressed with the amount of work he was able to cite and compile into one short volume. However, I was most shocked by the section on witches. Fortunately, The Daily Grail has posted that section. You simply must read the whole thing [...]
is college worth the time?
Economist Bryan Caplan seems to think it isn’t,
realms of the human unconscious
Maybe we have to be born with an interest in the origin of consciousness, where it resides and how it operates, I’m one of those people. No explanation garnered by science, religion, mystics, or from indigenous wisdom has ever fully approximated what I’ve seen in the world. Transpersonal psychologist Stanislov Grof’s first book, Realms of [...]
