Coming soon on my Substack: Humanity’s downward path started 50,000 years ago - Part II Part I used 8 religious myths to show our downhill trajectory started exactly when humanity started. Part II provides arguments based on metaconsciousness & 'significance'. alexgoodall.substack.com

Why is society getting so screwed up? It’s not (just) neo-liberal economics, inattention to the climate, corporate greed and all the rest. It’s what happened 50,000 years ago! In my latest Substack post, the evidence comes from eight religious myths. alexgoodall.substack.com/p/humanitys-...

Is the Paranormal valid? e.g. telepathy, near-death experiences, ghost sightings, UFOs, meaningful coincidences Is it unscientific woo? Is it all valid, but inexplicable scientifically? Would you pick some but not others? I'll be writing about it shortly on my Substack alexgoodall.substack.com

If you had to write down five attributes of Humanity, what would they be? That’s the topic of my next Substack article coming up in a day or two. I’d be interested to see others’ ideas beforehand.

We assume a great deal. And, de facto, we assume our assuming is correct. That’s why we need to challenge our assumption if we’re going to have a transformational transition. See what you think. alexgoodall.substack.com/p/challengin...

We should try to understand those we disagree with. Could they be right? What makes them think how they do? * Their upbringing? * Their personality? As well as calling them out, should we sympathise? Apply to: DJT, Musk, Thiel, Vance, Altman... (add your own) And what about their supporters?

Two disturbing observations. 1. We are now a global civilisation 2. All past civilisations have collapsed One uplifting fact. After a collapse there is an opportunity to transform.

Bioregionalism seems like a no-brainer as part of Humanity's Transition. Not the whole story, obviously, but a definite contour of the transformational phase of the transition. #humanitystransition #bioregionalism #thegreatsimplification @tgspodcast.bsky.social

Blue Sky is growing FAST! Earlier today, we hit 29 Million #Sklyers here on #Bsky Unless the rate drops a lot, we should be at 30 million before the end of the month. There was a big increase in the rate of signups immediately after the inauguration, which has since decreased a bit.

Alex Goodall @alexgoodall.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

We now have 28+ Million #Sklyers here on #Bsky Onwards to 30 Million. Should be around 3rd or 4th of Feb at the current rate.

The only way I can make sense of this is that Spokesperson Trump is explaining the policies of President Musk. Not so much national security as 'I need the minerals for my business" Musk-security. That makes it perfectly reasonable.

Mostly agree, ‪@mikebernerslee.bsky.social‬ My quibble it that I don't think there's any 'maybe' about it!

Levin's view of studying life and it's "origins, scaling, transformations and scaling terminology" reminds me of #HanziFreinacht and #metamames for understanding the origin, scaling, transformations and scaling terminology of #culture as part of #metamodernism

We hope for a transition to a liberal democracy, but that can't happen in a single step. An attempt to do so/a pretense at doing so will inevitably involve corruption. What should we look for as a transitionary, intermediate step? #Syria #Assad #Damascus #Moscow www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

My two greatest inspirations in my search for personal meaning and directional indications for humanity's transition are Metamodernism and Analytic Idealism (@BernadoKastrup). Frustratingly, I've not been able to find enthusiasts within both spheres to discuss their relationship. Are you one?

What is the relationship between Analytic Idealism and Metamodernism?
