Called one of the most influential psychologists of our time, Daniel Kahneman has been appearing in articles from Freakonomics – yes because of a recently released book, Thinking Fast and Slow - and here’s an example: http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/11/28/daniel-kahneman-answers-your-questions/ Q. You recommend the use of checklists in business decision-making to counteract a number of the [...] So – if we are software, then all kinds of interesting things become possible, is I suppose the takeaway from this piece. It does still posit something outside, tinkering with what’s inside. Inherently unsatisfying or supremely satisfying, depending on your favorite imprinted storylines. How to Build a Computer Model of God Can Souls [...]
I attended a lecture given by Richard M Doyle - ”Stairway to Eleusis – the EXEGESIS exegesis and the dharma of Philip K Dick” – as I understood it, he was part of a team of researchers who had the opportunity to go over the infamous and near mythical 9000 page book written by PKD [...] Good old uncle Tim gets reprinted by truthout – nice to see him again. His ideas will reappear in time to be studied anew. This snippet starts with some mention of his idea of neurogenetic castes and stages. http://www.truth-out.org/timothy-leary-wall-street-occupation-movement/1319050501 After the tribal (familial) and feudal (childlike) stages of human evolution came the industrial [...] Life magazine has been posting photos from it’s older collections, and a recent one featured Aleister Crowley. Yeah yeah, spooky right? No. Crowley was a jerk, a freeloader, and a drug addict, and a bit of a religious crank, but some of his work is brilliant, and like a lot of the creative people [...] Here’s my prediction – December 21st 2012 will come and go like every other solstice. Things here in the US will be just as messed up as they have been, but that’s because of our political and economic choices in the face of peak oil and other macro economic forces and resource depletions, not so [...] It was sweet to see Selena Fox in the news. And on the autumnal equinox as well. Gotta love the autumnal equinox – a mysterious time of the year, the day’s length changing so fast. http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/22/gop-candidates-witchcraft-dabbling-worries-wiccan/ Selena Fox on Beliefnet There’s an irony to the timing of this hubbub, says Selena Fox, [...] Erik Davis is often interesting, tho arguably forced by his circumstances to focus on creating popular content – and he’s an excellent writer and considerably-better-than-average thinker – so even tho it’s an old and much discussed topic, his latest article on tarot and it’s most well known deck is worth reading. I especially enjoyed the [...] If you don’t know who Issac Bonewitz is, that’s not necessarily a surprise, for he represents an earlier more idyllic time in the study of the art form of intentional religion. (I mispelled his name – my apologies, spelling is a personal weakness. His name was Isaac Bonewits. I leave my original mispelling as evidence [...] Several articles about the mental differences between lucky and unlucky people have come out recently, all apparently triggered by the book the author of this current article is trying to sell. However, the ideas involved are worth thinking about for esoteric practicioners and explorers, so I picked this article as an example of the bunch, [...] |
