May you live in interesting times

The only constant is change.  Change occurs at the boundaries.  In the 70s, the Club of Rome stimulated considerable public attention with the "The Limits to Growth", a report that suggested that growth of production and consumption could not continue indefinitely because of either resource depletion or unmanageable levels of pollution.  I was 20.  

Tempus fugit!  Time flies.  May you live in interesting times. 

Tipping Points. Game Theory.  Artificial Intelligence.  Self Replicating Terminator Technology exported to Mars.  Bob's your uncle, he has guns and is going to tell you what to do.  

Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Donald Trump!  Autocratic genetic clones of Cleon I, making it to the pool without receiving a vision. 

The control over reality and truth!  The ability to simultaneously hold and accept two contradictory beliefs.   We didn't start the fire.

too much fucking noise, capitalism exports liabilities to the common, into the common clay

It turned out that population growth slows with industrialization, a feedback effect where the concentrated labour requirements of industrialization, resulted in urbanization, making children too expensive to maintain, leading to a decline in productive labour demographics and a labour shortage.  smaller population, longer lived, sicker - we all became sick

we need to make better choices 

Breath
3D Breath Meditation, the monkey mind, the axis mundi, the witness 

The monkey mind is a Buddhist concept that describes a state of mental restlessness, distraction, and lack of control. It can also refer to an inner critic that stifles creativity and prevents progress.
Axis mundi is a Latin term that refers to the Earth's axis, which runs between the celestial poles.The world center, a sacred space that connects the divine and mortal worlds.  A silver thread that runs through you.
In Buddhism, the witness is a state of pure awareness without judgment. It's a process of cultivating a connection with the spiritual heart, or the most intimate "I"

Geometry
the Map is not the Territory - periodic vs aperiodic
people often confuse models of reality with reality itself
this eyes open form of meditation practices drawing geometric forms
In geometry, it makes a difference which side of the lake you are on 

theFlux
the Bindi Point of the Void, unobtainable states
breath and the point of the compass
you pass through the singularity into theFlux
