As we discover the universe for ourselves, in whatever form it may be, we must keep our minds open. The dismissal of ideas simply because they conflict with our paradigms of the world, or worse, because others told us that they should be dismissed, threatens us with intellectual and spiritual stagnation. Accept ideas or reject ideas, but do so from a place of objectivity and sincere consideration.

We've all heard the phrase, "We are one," but what does it actually mean from the perspective of science?

Humanity is currently undergoing the most treacherous phase of its development. As our technology approaches that of a Type 1 civilization, the risk of annihilating ourselves becomes immense.

In this short essay, I argue that, given their click bait, ad-centered business models, American news companies are heavily swayed by socioeconomic and political forces. I propose that these companies be insulated from the forces of economy and of public opinion in order to remove them from the thrall of incentivized subjectivity. Questions for you: Are our news sources, as Americans, serving us?...

If civilization is to overcome climate change for good, not just temporarily, a global shift in perspective must be had.
