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.

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.

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.
