Social change theory
When the Cause is Everything
The government and people of El Salvador are in an impossible situation not of their own making. Therefore, to argue, as I see right and left doing, about whether this is a good policy is a diversion from the real originating issues.

Feminine Power
The province of matriarchy is what. The province of patriarchy is how. What shall we do, that is in service to life, love, and beauty? How shall we do it? These questions merge and flow into each other. What becomes how, how becomes what. Such is the conjugation of matriarchy and patriarchy.

Transhumanism and the Metaverse
The promoters of the transhumanist Metaverse describe it as not only good, but inevitable. It may seem so, given that it is an extension of an age-old trend. But hopefully by making its underlying myths and assumptions visible, we can exercise a conscious choice in embracing or refusing it.

Reinventing Progress: How to Move Beyond Technocracy
The techno-scientific ambition for perfect knowledge and control is like trying to reach the horizon by running. It is like trying to build a tower all the way to the sky. No matter how fast and far you run, the horizon is no closer. No matter how high you build, the sky is no nearer.

The Field of Peace
Until we dismantle the empire and terminate the Military-industrial complex, something like Ukraine will recur again and again, whether instigated (as is usual) by the US imperial hegemon or by the adversaries it generates from its us-versus-them worldview.

The Tipping Point (by Infinite Waters)
As the powers that be exert more and more effort to impose fear, social division, and soul-crushing narratives, Ralph Smart invites us to consider the ways our spirits can resist this oppression and turn to love instead. By keeping love steadfastly in the driver’s seat, we find a tipping point into a much more sustainable world drawing steadily nearer.

Divide, Conquer; Unite, Heal
Whether deliberately or not, a situation has been engineered to dispose the public toward division. It is an old formula: Enemies are among us! The unclean put us all at risk!

Mass Psychosis: Understanding the Descent into Collective Madness
A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.

It’s Love, Not Fear, That Will Get Us Through the Covid Crisis
The powers that be have been pushing with ever more force on the ‘fear’ button of human nature, leading to increased divisiveness and animosity among us. But what would happen if we find a way to say, “Enough is enough!” and let love (and its cousins empathy, courage, curiosity and kindness) sit in the driver’s seat?

The Covid Vaccine Mandates: A Trauma-Informed Perspective
The New Zealand’s response to the Covid crisis – their ‘no jab, no job’ policy – is tearing the fabric of our society, and could potentially cause more harm than the virus itself. Dr Paris Williams invites us to explore this crisis through a trauma-informed lens, suggesting that this can offer us a way out of this mess.

A Temple of this Earth: Moving Beyond Redemptive Violence
A saying goes, “Truth is the first casualty of war.” And the primal lie of war is the same as that of mob violence, the pogrom, and the witch hunt: that certain people are not fully human. As long as we perpetuate that lie, humanity will continue the tragic historical pattern. We will also remain befuddled in our personal and collective sense-making.

A nation that cannot exist without ceaseless war is not actually a nation at all: it’s an ongoing military operation with some suburbs and schools mixed in.

Society Is Made Of Narrative. Realizing This Is Awakening From The Matrix
In the movie The Matrix, humans are imprisoned in a virtual world by a powerful artificial intelligence system in a dystopian future. Life in our current society is very much the same.

Never before in history has the rise and decline of imperial powers taken place in the context of the decline of the planet itself. Trump change, the rising political temperature stirred by the growing populist right, is taking place in the context of (and, worse yet, aiding and abetting) record global temperatures, the melting of ice across the planet, the rise of sea levels and the future drowning of coastlines (and cities), the creation of yet more refugees, the increasing fierceness of fires and droughts, and the intensification of storms. In the midst of it all, an almost unimaginable wave of extinctions is occurring, with a possible million plant and animal species, some crucial to human existence, already on the verge of departure.
