An Exploration of Possible Mycorrhizal Evidence in relation to a Solar Induced Dark Age (SIDA)

Archaeological sites that have been found using modern Computer Archaeology techniques including magnetometry, computer imaging, satellite imagery, as well as stratification and other dating techniques, when cross-examined by applying modern scientific techniques such as cariology, botany and genetics, suggest that if humans and domesticated animals had lived underground for extensive amounts of time during a […]

Ethical Impacts of Applied Artificial Intelligence

Life on Earth is rapidly entering an era where computer intelligence on it will excel the collective capacity of human intelligence. In an interview on CBSs’ 60 Minutes, 2024 Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton says, “I think we’re moving into a period when, for the first time ever, we may have things more intelligent than us.” […]

The Potentiated Growth of Human Capacity Through Dispensed Wilderness

What William Cronon lacked when he wrote The Trouble With Wilderness was an interdisciplinary analysis of his astute insights that incorporated the socioeconomic, theological and psychological impacts of his concepts. His essay reflected an emotional response to history and lacked a scientific basis that instead conflated the perceived loss of unnatural wilderness with the religiously-rooted […]

Scientific Perspectives on an Empathic and Psychopathic Dual Mindset

Dr. Jack’s Texas Sharpshooter approach to discussing organized monotheism in his TEDxCLE talk trivializes religious systems like polytheism and animism. Dr. Jack asserts a deontological basis for people to balance their interests across science and religion. He supports this using scientific data he collected across his experiments that contained cherry-picked data that omitted history by […]

The leading story in the video, “Born good? Babies help unlock the origins of morality,” is framed in order to secure and sustain funding and attention in the continued pursuit of understanding infant morality. It’s easier to sensationalize the claim that there’s, “a universal moral core that all humans share,” (Stahl 06:20 – 06:25) rather […]

Architectural Notions and Aesthetic Criteria

In the contemporary domain of art philosophy, T.S. Eliot, Audre Lorde and Walter Benjamin express many written thoughts that’ve got a lot of relevance to modern art. Three art collectives (“cults”) that produce modern art that reflect their ideas are the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), Meow Wolf, and Banksy. In their work, for art […]

Existentialism in The Seventh Seal and Affliction

An existentially philosophical difference between truth-seeking and narrative-creating is that, as one takes formative aspects of their individual identity and ethics acquired through time, they then apply or assert truth values to real-life situations in order to justify their relative cultural identity using internalized philosophical or sophisticated means based off of sensory or external inputs […]

On Killing Your Angels or Torching Your House: Considerations From Charlotte Brontë and Virgina Woolf

In her story, “Jane Eyre: An Autobiography”, Charlotte Brontë tells a story of a female human Victorian woman passing through a series of internal character struggles that progress as Jane Eyre moves away from a life of being undifferentiated from mere furniture or pasture animal in a man’s home to, instead, becoming an extension of […]
