POPSIt Isn't Morning in America Anymore -- It's Dusk on Planet Earth - Part 3 The change required is much simpler, and costs no money. Just go on a spending strike and a travel strike. When money is short, its the time to stop spending (and borrowing), outside absolute necessities. Spend quality time on family and neighbors. Till some earth near you. Make it more fertile. Engage with nature.

POPSIt Isn't Morning in America Anymore -- It's Dusk on Planet Earth - Part 1 Can people learn to "turn on a dime"? Or will humanity continue to plunge headlong into the abyss like the Gaderine swine? Those who turn fastest, decoupling themselves from the growth / money economy, for example, by NOT consuming, doing with as little as possible, taking as little as possible, and giving back (to the earth) as much as possible. All people have to do is change their minds about what is important.

POPSFunds to invest up to $8bn in National City bank All these billions being invested in propping up unsafe banks might have been put to more constructive and less risky use. Add the cost of wars. That is the money which is being taken away from the future ... from our children and their children. Best to start setting up non-money based ways of trading and bartering now, as money becomes increasingly scarce and worthless at the same time.

POPSHarold Bloom: 'What We Are Seeing Is the Fall of America' He sounds a lot like H G Wells in "A Man at the End of his Tether." I fear Facebook and (I fear) increasingly Clipmarks are both guilty of promoting a culture of celebrity and 'media-ocrity' which Harold Bloom abhors. It is regrettable because, as I have said before, Clipmarks (and so many of its Clippers) are capable of a higher quality of public attention to what matters.

POPSSome Convenient Truths Right on! My own experience proves that the research is correct. The less you consume and the more you give back to the earth, the happier you are.

POPS NO 'SPECIAL' PEOPLE' The joke 'the lunatics have taken over the asylum" is no longer funny. It is good to see people thinking for themselves.

POPSMayan Calendar - The Nine Underworlds The Mayans are said to have conceived their Calendar more in terms of the evolution of consciousness, than what we would call cosmology, astronomy, or even astrology. Now I admit that the mapping of a scientist's view of the evolution of the universe onto the Nine Worlds might be a tad selective. Nevertheless, it is worth noting how time seems to speed up as consciousness evolves. The other thing to take in, is according to this interpretation, we are in the last moments of a 16.4 billion year cycle which gives pause for thought. One could even see Clipmarks and the World Brain as being part of this evolution in consciousness. Groups of intelligences collaborating constructively should lead to a new level of consciousness.
