What is Conscious Evolution?

In this first episode of accidental gods, we outline the thinking that got us to here, and then go on to explore the possibility of transformational change – of conscious evolution – and the very practical, daily practice that could lead us towards it.

If I were to write a new book on the subject of how we might move closer towards #regenerative, #diversityrich #mutualwellbeing (enabling quality of life for everyone) based on #openknowledge, I would look more closely at #culture, as well as #education, #economics and #politics

WHY DO WE STILL ALLOW THE RULES OF POLITICS TO BE SHACKLED TO THE MINDSET OF MEDIEVAL COURTS?

[estimated reading time of approximately 3 minutes] POLITICS HAS IMPROVED SINCE MEDIEVAL TIMES A major difference between the politics of historic royal courts and the politics of today, is that modern politics, in general, has a greater level of consideration for the viewpoints and concerns of the

Whatever one thinks of narcissistic autocrats, one should not ignore or belittle the fears they tap in to, to gain support.

The solution, though, to address such fears, is not to impose one-sided viewpoints that increase division

Rather the solution is to increase #diversityrich #deliberativediscourse, based on #openknowledge to find how we can improve our systems to work much better for everyone, as assessed by each of us (not in some ideologically defined way).
