The Launch of the Evolver Social Movement: A personal view

Today we officially launched the Evolver Social Movement. This has been quite a process for us, one fraught with anxiety and also an odd unexpectedly potent sense of enthusiasm and excitement. I find it is causing me to want to personally review what has brought me to this point. What follows is a look back into the distant past and then a consideration of what is now and what may be to come.

The Future Is Not The Past

Lately, I've been hearing people talk about how "We need to rebuild the US so we can get back to where we were before the last decade." Some are looking at the 90's as a model of society to strive for. More than a few smart people have said President Obama shares that vision, especially in terms of the economic and regulatory environment.

Reasons to Join the Evolver Social Movement

Hi Folks,

Here is my first crack at promotional copy to invite our community to contribute regular membership dues to the Evolver Social Movement.

On one level, I can't help approaching this entire project as a conceptual art project - an example of what the German artist Joseph Beuys called "social sculpture."

Building the Evolver Social Movement

In this blog, I intend to play around with ideas for developing the Evolver Social Movement into a large-scale membership organization. I hope to learn from your comments and direct engagement in this process, as we seek to launch the first phase of this project within the next month.

in support of anarchy

it bothers me, immensely, that so many people never consider anarchism as a legitimate political philosophy simply because it is surrounded by so much negative social stigma. so- this is my 2 cents. take from it what you will.

why governments are ultimately ineffective:

The Invisible Zombies

Once there was a rich man who owned ships. He worked very hard and his ships sailed all over the world, trading cargo and making profits. Even though the rich man had a lot of money, he never felt it was enough and he was always looking for ways to get more.

The FBI has taken down his webpage and censored his postings in internet forums. Unconstitutional, right?

A Way

Leave the void, to create a way away.
Be yourself. Dislocate time.

Are right and wrong, just hanging there, light and dark. And is the truth like the sun being just beyond the horizon? Or is there another way to get there, something that connects us, a vehicle to reveal our interconnectedness? Let us begin.

Being Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable and Why the State of the Union Depends On It

Arianna Huffington's call for "Hope 2.0" in this recent article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/hope-has-been-a-bust-it...) comes in the wake of her realization that "elected officials are not going to save us" and "that change is going to have to come from outside Washington."

(I wonder just how far outside Washington though, wink wink.)

What do we do in the aftermath of such a disaster, except to express profound sadness, shock, and sympathy, and to send donations to aid and relief organizations working in the affected areas? How do we even portray it in a way that respects the victims?

Conspiracy!!!!

Everyone on this site is all about conspiracy theories and subjects that most people would dismiss almost immediatly. Just say illuminati or mind control and most people say yeah right. Say it here and you have a blog with a hundred comments. What is it about conspiracy theories that make them so dismisable. Is it their distraction from the day to day? Is it too much to think about?
