In “Attraction to Light: Light as Communication of Imagined Evolution” I attempted to explicate the repeated patterns of light itself as continued motif that is symbolic of evolution as well as non-specific callings for humanity’s outer edges. I had missed one very obvious inclusion, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “Transfigurations” (1990). What could…

Possible Model for Alternative Futurism: Responsibility to Leave (R2L)
Cross-posted Memo I have long been an advocate that we need to take care of Mother Earth before we become too overwhelmingly concerned with colonizing other planets.

The (re)memory core of the imagination is detached from consumerism. It proves capitalism is not our natural state of being. True ontological becoming, not to be confused…
Solarpunk and the Vestiges of the Ascetic
About a month ago I had an idea for a book on a subject in which my knowledge is too limited to fill an entire book.
