"Humanity's downward trajectory started 50,000 years ago" In Part II, I use the idea that Humanity started when we became metaconscious, but this very super-power caused 'importance' to predominate over 'meaning'... which caused the downward trajectory. alexgoodall.substack.com/p/humanitys-...

Trump's economy is a zit about to pop and ooze all over our faces. Brazil is running two years behind us and about to repeat our mistake. And the Buffett indicator is so far off the charts it's no wonder Warren retired! It's On The Record. Let's go. Watch the full video: youtu.be/519iYFBb5fQ

The threats to our resilience are the same as the threats to our democracy: corporate lobbyists shaping policy, with dire consequences for our ability to withstand crises. Burnham seems to want to change this. But is he aware of scale of the task? My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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...

Alex Goodall @alexgoodall.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Here are the five questions... What do we actually mean by ‘societal collapse’? How would we recognise it? How deep and widespread could it be? Is a transformation possible and what would it look like? What is the time-frame within which this might happen?

I will shortly be posting on my Substack about the Adaptive Cycle of Panarchy as a way of answering five questions about societal collapse. I’m interested to know if anyone outside academic circles has heard of Panarchy. It's a superb model. substack.com/@alexgoodall

Carney is so polite. He uses "changing" instead of "disintegrating".

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?

Alex Goodall @alexgoodall.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

All of these are important, but the grouping that provides the greatest meaning is the highest of them all - Humanity. We are all part of Humanity. That’s what brings us together. #humanity #society

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.

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.

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...
