From the magzine, Shift: A restlessness is brewing in science. Unexpected discoveries in many scientific disciplines are shaking previously held assumptions. One commonality among these discoveries is that observations once believed to be meaningless, or mere anomalies, are being reconsidered. In the process, new revelations are surfacing about the nature of reality. A few examples will serve to illustrate the rising tension.

We all learned what “bullet-time” is from The Matrix: bullets that look like they are moving slowly through water – as if the air the bullet was moving through was some kind of liquid. What if air really is some kind of new liquid? What if the entire universe is made up this “liquid?” It would certainly give physics a few new rules to follow. Could an idea like this help unite the quantum and macro worlds? Could an idea like this explain what has been a problem for theoretical physicists since Einstein did away with Newton’s aether? If air is the medium which sound travel through, what is the medium for light?

Rupert Sheldrake is going to be in Washington, D.C. this weekend. He’s speaking at the International Conference on Energy Psychology on the topic of Morphic Fields and Morphic Resonance: Implications for Healing and the Collective Unconscious. I have no idea what energy psychology is, but it sounds interesting. Since I’m a Sheldrake groupie I will be taking a trip there trying to get his autograph.

I know I’m not very good at returning phone calls or even chatting online but that is all about to change because I just cloned myself and will have lots of free time. So, while my twin is slaving away at work, I will be here … waiting for you to message me. I will save all the chat transcripts so that my twin and i can compare notes. It won’t be easy leading two lives but I’ve always wanted to devote myself 100% to chatting with my friends and … well, work just gets in the way of that. Chat to my twin online now!
I know that as an American citizen it feels like our only obligations are to shop at WalMart, eat at McDonald’s, and watch American Idol, but there are other obligations, too. If you’ve never seen the U.S. Constitution, I’ve included a picture below. It’s even worth making the trip to the National Archives to see it in person. They even have it available online to read for free.
A classic from 2004: The move to outsource white-collar jobs is moving up the company hierarchy to the incompetent manager level. Many US companies are discovering they can find management talent abroad that is just as clueless as the homegrown variety. India has proven to be adept at producing managers who are skilled at not adding any value whatsoever.
“I thought I was too much of a jerk to ever be replaced,” said Joe Morphy, an unemployed manager. “I figured they could never find anybody who combined my total indifference to employees” well-being with my astonishingly high level of dishonesty. But they found some guy in Asia willing to be a bigger asshole than me for one-tenth of my salary.”

Back in 1998 I interviewed one of my favorite Jungian authors, June Singer, for the old Jung Index web site. The interview is no longer available on the internet and it would be a shame to lose it. The format of the interview was collaborative – over email – so many people participated and were able to ask questions. So, here is the original interview from November 1998 – a tribute a great woman, who brought Jung’s psychology within my reach.

I love taking the daily cnn.com poll to see how I feel about important issues compared to the rest of the world. Usually I’m among the majority but since CNN is considered a part of the intellectual crazies liberal media, I guess I fall in line. However, I’m sometimes surprised. Today I was dumbstruck. CNN asked it’s readers, “Do you think people with contagious diseases should be locked up if they refuse to take precautions to avoid infecting others?” The results …
I’m in the bottom 9% of readers on what is a fundamental Constitutional issue. I’m still a bit in disbelief. Did I wake up this morning in the Soviet Union? Is Josef Stalin our President? WTF? You can find the poll here.
