As an agnostic atheist, do I have a moral imperative to speak to Believers about their faith? Or would I just be proselytizing my own beliefs?

I recently witnessed a wondrous display by a murmuration of birds. What do you think they're thinking while they fly? So closely aligned with each other, almost performing? Do you think they're just living in the moment? Flying for the love and joy of it?

Robbin Milne & I share in our excitement for this book & trees!

Trees! Did you know they can "smell" & "taste?" Or that they share & support each other? That they're stronger, healthier, & live longer when they live in community, aka in a forest?

If our brains are "organic computers", if we were to look at our base coding/the operating system, what would we see? How would it affect our day to day?

In this episode, we revisit "It isn't futile." From a valid point, to a poignant comment/question, to a book recommendation, to another area that needs sweeping change.

Famous last words: "we've always done it that way." There's a sense of helplessness or feeling stuck floating around. Some cling to the idea that change is impossible. Or if it can occur, it has to happen a particular way. But what about breaking the mold? What drives us? Can we use this to move off the game board, outside the playing field to create change?

Computers, more specifically Artificial Intelligence, have made a pretty significant stride, recently. Christie’s is auctioning off the first AI generated piece of art today, 25 October 2018, for between $7,000-$10,000. This sparks many questions! What is art? What does it mean to be creative? To use imagination? If AI can develop creativity and imagination, this significantly decreases areas where humans can compete competitively. Doesn’t it?

I read an intriguing theory for the basis of patriarchy, that seems to make sense. But if it’s true, there are some interesting observations in and around this framework. That said, how can we change this incredibly long lived behaviour? Can hierarchies exist in a productive and healthy way? Or is it possible to operate without hierarchies?
