Toward a World that Works for Everyone
We know that things are going (fully intentionally) from bad to worse. The daily news briefs go on for pages listing incidents that are happening around the world. Legislation in Australia that’s moving them towards 15-min cities. Open borders. A chemical spill killing river fish for 60 miles. A cargo ship remotely guided into a […]

As I discussed in the article above, (1) despite what we may think or wish, the Company of Heaven maintains that the Reval is a matter of vibration, rather than timing.

Let’s pretend we’re sociology students. I’m exploring what the impact […]
