My Headlines

Enjoy that which you are used to while you can because soon the fabric of our lives is going to be irreversibly different. If you happen to be one of those people who dislike change, I suggest you try to embrace it as fully as you can. The ever arriving future is swiftly catching up to us. Tomorrow will be a different day than today, and perhaps we are blindly driving toward a cliff of despair. I believe that our world is spinning out of control. There is such a feeling amongst the air that I feel we are all somehow aware of it. Some more than others, but please, just look about and bear witness to your surroundings, and take note for yourselves. When I look, I see.

In light of our pace, and interconnectedness, we are going to face challenges we’ve never even thought of before. The only way I see us avoiding disaster is if we indoctrinate an adaptive nature toward things. Maintaining quick reflexes should be top priority on the list of things to develop prior to anyone feeling save.

Autonomy is perhaps the most important thing of all. Only when this is accomplished will humanity stand a chance against the up and coming threats that can’t even be imagined yet. What I mean, is that we need autonomous communities capable of sustaining themselves in every way necessary to life. We’re technologically capable, however it’s not happening, and the authorities that be seem hell bent on preventing this autonomous emergence to take place. They’re holding on tightly to the old paradigm, stuffing their pockets as full as they can until the whole thing crumbles to the ground.

Society is utterly too dependent upon an infrastructure. This foundation, when taken away, makes it virtually impossible to live. Rolling blackouts and natural disasters put our society in danger, but if we were fully functional homes, this danger could be avoided. The price of such technologies is quickly making it possible to consider these types of ideas. We can protect ourselves, but we must first learn that we need protecting.

With hurricane season on the horizon, please keep in mind that nobody can save you but yourself.
