(Repost) The test we are under and the Subconscious Signature (Parts I, II, and III)
The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist. God answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too …

(repost) Collective Ethical Patience and Problem Solving in a Capitalist Society (Parts I and II)
It can at times be very difficult to retain an ethical view of the world when the wealthy and privileged, on both the left and the right, are open when being complete jerks. And those wealthy, on both the left and the right, never lose face or their social standing by being jerks. However, that …
Note: You should start preparing your mind
It is completely possible that a time will shortly be coming that to even say the words, “Rule of Law,” is enough to get you arrested, if not in solitary confinement. Listen for the Subconscious Signature. (For clarification, you may also need to see: Whatever you are wearing is your uniform and the conjoining post, …
Note: The term “radicalized” and acclimation
Some people like to preach, “don’t say your ‘radicalized’ just for being a human.” But that dismisses that larger project of acclimation going on in any culture that needs standing up to. The radicalization of just a few can spread out to so many more that there will eventually be those who are so privileged …

The Subconscious Signature: We have arrived at an important point in tune with collective time
I have written about the subconscious signature many times before. I wish I could share what being in tune with the subconscious signature is like. It is what connects humanity and the stars and even God all together in a pattern that is more than instinct, more than insight, but even more than time itself. …
Memo: Availability as an Indicator of Post-Capitalism
First world culture-benefits live within a paradox of being both hyper-capitalist while also demonstrating post-capitalist values through all that remains in touch, in availability. Abolishing capitalism if often mistakenly imagined as a barbaric age in which nothing is available because no one will want to create or produce without the benefit of being paid. This …

This is not a good time to start writing a new book
This is not a good time to start writing a new book. You have already invested so much time and resources on the book you were already writing. Now, with the political consequences of what it means to be a writer and what it means to be a writer who discusses social issues in one …

(cross-posting) Note: Continuing humanities teaching and research after the discontinuation of grants
I do not think individual humanities work needs to stop with the removal of grants. Yes, clearly communities and community culture will be hurt. However, individuals can continue privately, to the best of their ability, and budget, share openly in the spirit of Open Access and the common good. We are called to be stewards …
Note: Idealism in an Era of Consequences
Attempting to maintain a frame of optimistic idealism seems rather heroic in this age of absolute consequences. It is not that the idea of contemplating utopia serves only as denialism is new. That has always been the case. But with stability comes the real work of getting there though continued scholarship. It is not just …
