Reality Is a Shared Hallucination—And It’s at Risk of Collapsing, Scientist Claims

When that happens, it can lead to some truly disturbing outcomes.

Another death that hit me hard a long time ago was #JohnLennon. Yeah, he may not have been perfect, but he planted the seeds of #Revolution in lil' ol' me a long time ago!

Heh. Taking a writing course by Alan Moore (hubby's gift to me). Despite Moore's misogyny, I do appreciate his anarchist perspective. However, in my case, he is wrong about the reasons I stopped working on my Sci Fi saga (still in boxes, but very well researched -- in the pre-internet age with books). I didn't stop because of lack of interest on my part, or fear of not being published (because I copyrighted and self-published it online). I stopped because it started coming true. And it's still coming true! Time to #ChangeTheStory and #ChangeTheParadigm! (And work on the future I want to see for us all!)

#WriteTheFutureYouWant

"If you can imagine, it can be real
A self destructing ego is not the only way
Don't think with your nation
Don't think with your age
Imagine something different
Just change the paradigm
Reality is fluid, a single drop can make
The current of the ocean reach up to space
Don't accept your constraints
Don't accept our faith
Look far beyond
And find another way
Change the paradigm..."
