William Shakespeare, "Hamlet Act 3, Scene 1 Soliloquy"
"Hamlet Act 3, Scene 1 Soliloquy""To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's th... more »
“Choosing Not to Look Away: Helping the Homeless”
*“Choosing Not to Look Away: Helping the Homeless”* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM “Most of us know in our hearts that the homeless and the poor are not so very different from us. Homeless people in our communities are a fact of life, especially in big cities. Many of us don’t know how to interpret this situation or what we can do to help. We may vacillate between feeling guilty, as if we are personally responsible, and feeling angry, as if it is entirely on their own shoulders. The situation is, of course, far more complex than either scenario. Still, not knowing how to respond, we... more »
Chet Raymo, “We Are Such Stuff...”
*“We Are Such Stuff...”* by Chet Raymo “Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices, That, if I then had wak'd after long sleep, Will make me sleep again.” "Caliban is talking to Stephano and Trinculo in Shakespeare's “Tempest”, telling them not to be "afeard" of the mysterious place they find themselves, an island seemingly beset with magic, strangeness, ineffable presences. And you and I, and, yes, all of us, find ourselves inexplicably th... more »
The Poet: Galway Kinnell, "Another Night in the Ruins"
*"Another Night in the Ruins"* "How many nights must it take one such as me to learn that we aren't, after all, made from that bird that flies out of its ashes, that for us as we go up in flames, our one work is to open ourselves, to *be* the flames?" ~ Galway Kinnell
Fake News About a Secret Nazi UFO Base In Antarctica Refuses to Die
Another revisit and this time the author makes the case for this been a hoax which is the most reasonable prospect. High Jump did occur and serious damage took place. There is enough actual interest to ensure investigators would have accessed any material that was at least vanilla envelope. This story is easily debunked by a review of ship's logs and the like. Instead we have absence of such semi official debunking. The core story is that Germany attracted an alien joint venture during the thirties. This is completely reasonable for two reasons. The first been that Germany l... more »
Gandhi for the Post-Truth Age
Ghandi is perhaps the most important thinker to arise in the Twentieth Century. He created something no one else even imagined and made it work. Ultimately it led to the nearly peaceful independence of India and has affected reformers everywhere. He made non violent protest a desired and successful methodology. Today he is even more important. For the past two decades, operatives of the NWO have been working to dismantle history as it is inconvenient to their own narrative and he has also come under attack.. Yet even that will be over soon.. A huge global shift is ... more »
How an Art School Is Lighting Up Africa’s Biggest Slum
What needs to form is a natural community that focuses on the production of local art with high level mastership strongly promoted. This also needs to be done in many other pales as well, not least in Vancouver's downtown Eastside with a large impoverished indigenous population who have a natural cadre of artists and a known art culture. Filling the streets with totem Poles would alter everything. Better yet a totem pole is meant to slowly rot back into the earth itself. Thus they can be planted by buyers without feeling remorse as they slowly breakdown. Producing quality tote... more »
China Cashes In on All the Lonely People
Once again we so need to structurally design in to our lives what i define as the natural community. Even without a community mission, such a community self organizes in such a way that no one is easily left out. Every such community is a twelve times twelve for 144 potential places. Every twelve designates a pair as leaders or reps. Those reps can trade out pairs to other twelves in order to optimize the twelves objectives, what ever they might be. Such a system is continuously dynamic and responds naturally to stimulation. It also leads to 24 such leaders who designate si... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* What's in a name? I've often found the origins of surnames interesting. They often have something to do with a long, long ago relative's occupation, even the family business or the city the family came from. For instance, in England, Coopers were barrel makers and Arrowsmiths made arrows. In Italy, people named DiNapoli came from Naples, etc. So, it was with some amusement the other day when I came upon tonight's meme. My amusement is even doubled by the fact that the surname of Trump isn't even the Trump family's real name. It's the one they chose! As we know, the Tru... more »

Biggest Destruction of Market Capital in its Home Country’s History? Bayer Stock Takes a Nosedive After Monsanto Cancer Verdict is Upheld
As far as major chemical conglomerates go, it’s hard to top the newly formed Bayer-Monsanto mega corporation in terms of sheer size and market control. At the time of their merger, the two companies, now under the Bayer and Bayer Crop Science umbrellas, were expected to own more than 25% of the world’s global seeds and pesticides market. The sheer size and power of the new company led an activists’ push for it to be considered a monopoly, but the merger got the thumbs up from anti-trust regulators anyway. After skating by largely on the strength of its name, and its connections ... more »

*"The Dumbest Idea I’ve Heard in My Adult Lifetime"* by Umair Haque "One of the fun parts about someone who essentially thinks for a living (hey, I didn’t say I always did it well) is that I spend time combing through and poring over ideas. Headlines, tweets, books, articles. Ideas, ideas, ideas. Good ones, and bad ones. The middling ones - easy to discard. The good ones go in my little mental file. What do they mean? What values and perspectives shaped them? What are they really trying to say, reveal, offer? And then there are the bad ones. The ones that make me gawp and chuckle a... more »
