I hope you can comment on Sophia. Feminine gendered word. Bio-tech bros indeed. Immortal individuation. Not one word of compassion, love, surrendering to divine creation, birthing humanity.

Your point about the lack of compassion, love and surrender is striking. My own opinion is the bio-tech bros think they are all above that- and the rest of us. While they plan to use AI to enslave us (I'm sorry, enhance our lives and take our money), they build bunkers, for themselves explore space on their way to occupying Mars and outrageously use the heritage of humanity in ways like renting out one of the true achievements of Western Civilization- the city of Venice- for a wedding of well-preserved middle agers (Bezos and Sanchez). Surrender is for us losers, empathy is a weakness of Western Civ (thanks for that quip, Elon!) and love can be created with the right chemicals.

My conclusion: the God project no longer keeps the elect righteous. Did it ever? Do we still need it now? Maybe Nietzsche was right: the Judeo-Christian worldview is a slave morality. It might not have to be, but those in power have pushed in that direction with overwhelming success.

Do you know the works of Iain MacGilchrist? He writes of the risks of left hemisphere brain dominance. Which has achieved analytic brilliance but forgotten it is part of something larger. The Emissary has forgotten there is a Master. Classic hubris, which the Greeks depicted in Icarus, who flew too close th the sun and got fried. A lesson we have to learn at ever larger scales. Including climate disasters.

There is also the wicked sense of humour of those 'apparently' ancient (what the hell is time anyway) reality-wise storytelling trope creators? You know, "the serpent made me do it & the fruit was really good for developing experiential wisdom?" And of course the "disavow that innate capacity Oh Sensual Woman & be Forever subservient to a Man!" Bare foot in the Kitchen & Stay there, you dumb Bitch! Yeah😵

While the classic of truly humorous aphorisms has to be that "as above so below, as below so above," joke about the brain fart nature of perception & self-deception 😂 Look! See Object? Describe! Brain Fart Word Appear in Mind? But How? Dunno🫨 Just gotta go along to get along and play the Imitation Game😁

"Peshat (simple/literal meaning)"

It's inverted. What is considered the literal meaning is actual just allegory which hides the literal meaning, which Carlos Suares and others revealed.

Excellent, you are the best since Hunter Thompson and more district in many ways.

I hate hypocrisy and fakers. Satire and irony are our only defense. At Psychedelic Science Paul Stamets told some outrageous misinformation especially about Maria Sabina ( who I spent two days with and was in ceremony at Maria’s home) .

I am the bad guy who has always to tell the truth. Unfortunately some people like the truth facts and others prefer fiction.

I am one of 45 people in The World Solar Hall of Fame elected in 2008 , but it was only this year 2025 that I was elected to my home state Florida Solar Hall of Fame. Why ?

Simply because I called out a lot of bad actors in Florida who were politically involved in The Florida Solar Energy Industry.

I appreciate your honesty and integrity. Thanks. Listening to you at the Spirit Plant Conference was extremely informative. What turned me off at the end was your flattering the audience. Now, I feel you were sincere and authentic.

I suggest on YouTube you search CAREFREE WONDERING and the guys talking about Sincerity as an age where we moved to Authenticity and are now in this century into PROLIFICACY. How people before the 19th Century were in Sincerity and especially in the 20th Century we were into Authenticity

And now since the iPhone and iPad ( 1995 - 1997 ) people are into their profiles they create online as their identity.

LOL, really enjoyed this one. I've just been thinking this week about how, no matter how crazy Reich was, "muscular armor" IS really a thing
