  • The Climate Crisis requires profound societal changes immediately

    This episode was first published September 25, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    Here I discuss the scale of the climate change crisis and the epic and daunting radical changes to all aspects of society tackling it will demand.   

    I also address some common misperceptions I perceive, most notably a lack of awareness of the significance, scope and scale of the current climate change challenge.   

    We have only a few years left to implement unprecedented changes to preserve civilization and the countless species that inhabit Earth - including our own.

  • Authoritarians - Current Chaos, Irrationality and Polarization

    This episode was first published September 25, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    Many millions of people subscribe to worldviews or paradigms that increasingly conflict and collide with objective reality, often drastically. Thus the current highly polarized state of affairs is not surprising.  

    Here I briefly discuss the Authoritarian personality type and why they appear to frequently think and behave irrationally. Authoritarians are currently more predisposed to subscribe to right wing values.   

    In his freely available self published book “The Authoritarians” (2006) Psychology Professor Bob Altemeyer writes, referring to religious fundamentalists, who “… are highly likely to be authoritarian followers”, the following:  

    "They are highly submissive to established authority, aggressive in the name of that authority, and conventional to the point of insisting everyone should behave as their authorities decide. They are fearful and self-righteous and have a lot of hostility in them that they readily direct toward various out-groups. They are easily incited, easily led, rather un-inclined to think for themselves, largely impervious to facts and reason, and rely instead on social support to maintain their beliefs. They bring strong loyalty to their in-groups, have thick-walled, highly compartmentalized minds, use a lot of double standards in their judgments, are surprisingly unprincipled at times, and are often hypocrites.  

    But they are also Teflon-coated when it comes to guilt. They are blind to themselves, ethnocentric and prejudiced, and as closed-minded as they are narrow- minded. They can be woefully uninformed about things they oppose, but they prefer ignorance and want to make others become as ignorant as they. They are also surprisingly uninformed about the things they say they believe in, and deep, deep, deep down inside many of them have secret doubts about their core belief.”

  • The 1971 Powell Memo and Why it Matters Now

    This episode was first published September 23, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    In 1971 Lewis F. Powell Jr., a prominent corporate attorney and soon-to-be Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court, was tasked to produce a confidential memorandum on behalf of powerful corporate interests. The corporate establishment was very concerned about the countercultural movement which arose in the 1960’s (Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo) which they saw as a threat to the status quo and thus their financial interests.   

    The Powell Memo (aka the Powell manifesto) was a “… blueprint for conservative business interests to retake America.” and set out a broad strategy to influence education, the media, politics and the justice system. Viewed historically its influence - or at least its philosophical ambitions - can be seen playing out today and explains what may otherwise seem irrational or merely spontaneous to many observers.

  • Voting in Canada is easy, convenient and fast

    This episode was first published September 20, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    There is a federal election occurring in Canada today.  

    Despite the fact that I am voting in a province (roughly equivalent to a state) that is not currently my primary residence I was able to easily and quickly vote in this election.  

    I failed to mention that according to the Canada Elections Act, any eligible voter must have three consecutive hours off work to exercise their right to vote on an election day. There are also numerous provisions for people who are unable to vote on election day.  


    We do have an active Green party but they will likely not be a very significant factor in this election due to current internal disarray.  

    I share this mostly for the benefit of my many American friends who may face many unnecessary impediments to voting and participating in their democracy.

  • Big Dimensional Shifts in Collective Energies Occurring Now

    This episode was first published September 19, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    I am feeling BIG shifts occurring in the collective energies. It feels like a dimensional shift or upgrade. It is a bit disorienting as it feels unfamiliar or foreign, for now. It feels like an epochal level shift. Do you feel this as well?

  • More on the Aquarian Age and how things can change VERY rapidly

    This episode was first published September 17, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    More comments on how the Aquarian Age is materializing socially. Also how Uranus (its modern astrological ruler) manifests as dramatic - if not shocking - changes that can occur very rapidly and abruptly, often in unexpected ways, in astrology.   

    See my previous introductory episode on this subject titled "The Aquarian Age has Already Begun".

  • The Aquarian Age has Already Begun

    This episode was first published September 16, 2021 on my YouTube channel (Aquarian Diary).


    Empirically we are definitely in the Aquarian Age and this will become even more potently self-evident when Pluto transits Aquarius starting in March 2023.
