The Dream Despite all the awesomeness, what we do here on our rock is predictable. Our existence is driven by dependancy. Our Collective instinct still influenced by its predatory nature. By Drones who promise us change, but in reality only crave control. Luring us...

To know the face of God, is to know madness. Or is it madness to think you know God? To believe He is almighty and present? To have faith in the divine is to offer yourself, body and soul, on the off-chance that God is up there watching, listening, and taking notes....

American Enigma The great democratic experiment continues with the election of Joe Biden. A Human Being who is the antithesis of his predecessor, a man called Trump. Good overcomes evil, depending on your ideological swing.   Or is the Great Democratic Experiment more...

They say with hard Brexit comes increased costs. That the basic cost of living will go up. I suggest it doesn't have to. It's been suggested that the cost of food 'may' increase in price. The big supermarkets will pass on that burden of cost. "Not our fault," they'll...

The Eu is a giant Welfare State. It’s the free flow of the Euro from its richer countries, to prop up the poorer members who can’t afford not to join. The financial incentives are hard to deny.   In return the size of the European Union grows, as does its place, and...

Most of us are innocent of any meaningful contribution to our species. We participate by grinding the Great Wheel, but are barely conscious of how it turns. Or why it bothers to try. And yet each and very one of us shoulders the same burden. That we are willing to...

Democracy has been bastardised by the very people it serves. A tribal rationale now takes the Republican cause down a Nationalist path. Led by a President whose mantra is, “Make America Great”. But as great as what, the man who says it? Wow, that would bring...

Science has cheated us out of Wonder. It has circumvented Awe, and replaced miracles with complex algorithms our primate brains prefer to accept, rather than challenge. Our world is getting smaller. Each one of us unable to look much further than the Fairytale in...

I don’t think we came blame DonaldJTrump for the chaos that has ensued from his Presidency. Trump, is just being Trump. He’s the same Trump that he’s always been. America knew who that man was before they elected him President.   Accountability for the election lies...

The problems in the world today stem disproportionately from the western industrial revolution. A quantum leap in technology that only served to advance a small community of the population; whose best use of this gift was to colonise those who lived beneath roofs made...

Democracy is going backwards. The model that has seen the West thrive, that lifted the majority of its peoples to an affluence previously unknown, is now under threat. From the same forces it ousted, that now enjoys a resurgence.   The Oligarchy of Human Nature is on...

It’s that tribal thing again. And it’s spreading across the world. Throwing up endless conflicts, where one side seeks to wipe out the other; and probably will.   The Syrians are a fine example. On one side a brutal and oppressive regime. A leader who has used...

When a species’ social integration competes directly with its base nature. The genes will-out. The social experiment will end, and violence will pursue. Then Mother Nature will put us back in our box.  Human nature is only civilised when the unnatural art of being...

Humans have always struggled with the concept of Humanity. It’s not a collective, or an abstract. Not a fanciful notion to be picked up and put down. It’s a moral code. A standard of behaviour. But like habits, good and bad, we always exercise what is easiest to...

Most American kids have posters above their beds, of dream cars, beautiful women, and the American flag. The ‘Pin-up’ boy above President Trump’s bedstead was, and still is, President Putin.   Trump craves for the Kremlin Model to be applied in Washington DC. The...

We’ve evolved. Taken evolution to the next level. Or is it another level? (Well, that’s another question). We’ve stopped being driven by Nature’s diversity, and unpredictability, a long time ago. We don’t compete to survive anymore. Our fight for life has become a...

“Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.”   It’s a common enough phrase, and mostly misquoted. But nevertheless frozen into our psyche. The problem is we never do . . . Learn from our past. The more we bring it to the fore, the more relevant it becomes,...
