Book Review: The Systems View of Life; A Unifying Vision (26 views)
It's been a long time since I've been so excited about reading a non-fiction book, let alone a text book. But this one has captivated my interest by pulling together so many ideas and threads of scientific knowledge and wisdom.
The core message of this book is that it is time to replace the mechanistic, atomistic model of science with a botom-up, systems view, both for science and as a cultural metaphor.

Visions of a Positive Progressive Future vs Fixing a Pathological Present (137 views)
It is not enough to resist or fight the system and the problems that exist. It is absolutely inadequate to aim for repairing the symptoms of what is broken. We need big, positive visions, which lift our sights higher, towards horizons where there are bright futures, not scotch tape and bubblegum fixes for the pathological system we currently inhabit.

Bottom-up Tracking the San Bernardino Shooting Using Twitter Instead of TV (30 views)
This morning, I woke up wanting to know about what the story was with the San Bernardino shooting. My CNN app had floated a message that they had an article about the shooters. It wasn't very helpful. So I did as I usually do and went to Twitter.

Transcript: Brian J. Robertson: Holacracy-- Alternative to Top-Down Management (62 views)
As Brian Robertson described, we went deep discussing the aspects and implication of Holocracy, a powerful manifestation of how the organization is transitioning from a top-down patriarchal, parent child model to a bottom-up one with distributed power, empowering ALL the employees. I see it is the leading edge of a movement that could change the way we think about leadership, about how government and organizations work.

Facilitating a Disruptive Emergence To Replace the Existing Elite System Running the Planet (35 views)
We need to find a solution to the current elite, toxic world system. Would that solution be a revolution, a system revision... or the facilitation of a disruptive emergence that replaces the current system?

MegaPlatforms; The Biggest Monsters, Besides Billionaires and Megacorporations (37 views)
They were supposed to liberate us. They were supposed to empower us.
And in some ways, they've done some part of that.
But the mega-platforms-- Google, Facebook, Amazon, Yahoo, Apple, Microsoft and UBER, in particular, are also very dangerous to our future and incredibly exploitive. They are profoundly top down in doling out services and controlling data.

My First Book Signing for Bottom-up Revolution (129 views)
I did my first book signing on Sunday, May 26th, at Barnes & Noble, Willow Grove. It's an exciting part of becoming an author. But I wasn't sure when I was on the way. After all, it was scheduled on Memorial day weekend and I was kind of bummed.

First Step to Debillionairize the Planet (112 views)
As I've been writing for at least eight years, that billionaires are a danger to humanity.
Even if there are a few well intentioned, more benign billionaires, the nature of being a billionaire is inherently a toxic threat to democracy, justice and freedom. We need to debillionairize the planet, or, for the British, debillionairise.
