The Paradigm is a webzine started by Brandon Heckman fall 2008 whose aim is to document the collapse of civilization's current paradigm--the Vain Paradigm--and to advocate that the next paradigm be one that is mindful. Content is a mix of ecology, cultural criticism, philosophy, moral and ethical inquiry, rants (of course!), and creative non-fiction. Our goal is to stimulate awareness, cultivate mindfulness, and, hopefully, get people talking about human culture--particularly Western Society's culture--and to take an active role in defining the new values and the new modes of engaging each other in the next paradigm. We're looking for new and creative voices, so hit us up!

The next phase of human evolution is mental. I would like to think by 2012 there is going to be some sort of amazing, awe-inspiring event that will forever change things for the better. History is much darker unfortunately, and really, things haven't change too much. The challenge, I think, is to unite EVERYONE in a positive way. For everyone to agree that: all humans are equal. And around this universal truth, establish institutions that prove it. To the point where, if some alien race were to observe us, they could say "WOW! These earthlings really value each other and their planet." Ask yourself if this seems possible. Then pretend your an evil man, hanging out with other evil men, who have lots of money AND you own essential infrastructures. Would you want these things to happen if you were this kind of a person?

Nice ink work.
