On the way by which nothing can mean everything — Open Space If you’re observing the Milky Way from the Southern hemisphere, the backdrop behind the spiraling arm of our galaxy is lit up, because you’re looking inward at the galactic spiral, towards the bright center of its coalescence. But if you’re in the Northern hemisphere, you see the darkness of space…

When the highs are high, we can move mountains; when they’re low, we drown in the wave pattern. Overlaying neurochemistry to the physics of potentiality — Physics of Potentiality If we can effectuate the right kind of psychological and neurochemical configuration, we can propagate an energetic level of conviction in our perspective that safeguards us (and our experience) against a diminishment of possibility.

Navigating the possibilities around us via an expanded perspective of our potential — “You may not feel outstandingly robust, but if you are an average-sized adult you will contain within your modest frame no less than 7 X 10¹⁸ joules of potential energy — enough to explode with the force of thirty very large hydrogen bombs, assuming you knew how to liberate it…

Whether time is a circle, a sphere, or a 4D tesseract, it’s about using whatever reference points we can to stretch our conscious perspectives open as far as possible — “There is no linear evolution; there is only circumambulation of the self. Uniform development exists, at most, only at the beginning; later everything points towards the centre.” — C. Jung While the idea of circularized time has been around for longer than we could actually imagine, its trend as a…

On the reification of our conscious perception of time — Without necessarily realizing it, we tend to move quite dynamically through space and time — at least much less unilaterally than we often give ourselves credit for. While true that we’re not always cognizant of the subtle ways that the future works to inspire our present, nor the ways that…

Narrating our way through existence, from fact into fiction, in search of meaning — “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.” — Friedrich Nietzsche Common denominators In 1987, a neutrino detector in Japan captured evidence of a supernova event over 168,000 light years away (try converting that to miles), several hours before the first visual evidence…

Orwell | Dali | McKenna | Carlin | Nietzsche — “All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.” - Friedrich Nietzsche The hyped up language model that is ChatGPT offers something of a unique opportunity to assume the perspective of minds no longer with us, minds whose…

Part 1 of my first interview with ChatGPT.4, discussing itself as well as ourselves. And, of course, aliens. — I’ve interviewed a number of informed minds on all kinds of topics but never have I interviewed something that has instantaneous access to the wealth of information that ChatGPT has. Given it’s potential to pull from so much data, it prompts an infinite spring of irresistible questions, a fraction of…

A reverence for the uncertain nature of existence and a reinvigorated appreciation of the mundane — Deep Thoughts In the winter, there’s an abundance of nature trails around where I live, accessible to anyone with either cross country skis, snowshoes or, more of a recent trend, snow bike. We have miles worth of scenic trails, tracing lakes and sprawling over rolling hills, reserved primarily for anyone that has…
