Claiming that something can move faster than light is a good conversation-stopper in physics. People edge away from you in cocktail parties; friends never return phone calls. You just don't mess with Albert Einstein. So when I saw a press conference at the American Astronomical Society meeting this past January on faster-than-light phenomena in...

You use a metaphor to describe some concept. The metaphor isn’t the thing you describe - it’s just a tool that you use. But someone takes the metaphor, and runs with it, making arguments that are built entirely on metaphor, but which bear no relation to the real underlying concept. And they believe that whatever conclusions they draw from...

Hard to simulate, but easy to amplify, my experience of consciousness, is interactions, of an infinite number of abstractions. The universe is the set of all permutation, and combination of abstract information. I am math. Derive me, and if I could derive you too, we would have a strange-loop confusing the future you. But what of the...

Over the past few months, we've been discussing the various skills needed for effectively operating in a world characterized by information and accelerating change, and I've been assembling these ideas into a framework for a new thought architecture. This post will be the first in a 12 part series, and draws its influences from the fields of...

There are radical new patterns of power and response-ability emerging around the 21st century citizen. But we are also experiencing a strange kind of political impotence. We are powerful in new ways, yet often incapable of applying any kind of meaningful political force to the most crucial issues of our time ... I think there's a vital yet...

Brian Robertson wrote the Rule of Individual Action: No matter how clearly we’ve defined the rules, policies, and processes, we will occasionally see a need for action which doesn’t fit within the defined system.

What is the root of anger? What causes us to be angry? What would cause us to be so stuck in wanting to make things happen our way that we cannot let go of something even after it has already happened? “It did not happen my way, so move on!” Why are we so stuck on thinking that things have to happen our way? Why are we so angry and why...

The mental life of your common or garden human, however, is a lot more complicated. That's because we are "aware of being aware". This allows us to reflect upon ourselves and our feelings and, in an ideal world, make insightful decisions and judgements. This state, dubbed secondary consciousness, is thought to be unique to humans.

There are so many ways of metaphorically modeling and understanding the true nature of reality,...
