evolution

The evolution of science, science fiction, and mankind throughout the years.

Intellectual Enrichment
We humans, as a species have come a journey, where other species in our blue planet simply can’t comprehend. It is time we take moment to look back and appreciate what our ancestral genomes have bestowed us, nourished and enriched by the evolution through great many nights and days in the past. The skills, instincts, and many other valuable traits have been passed along to us by our ancestors with the time.

The Loneliness of Humankind
We are not only upset because our children are now hungry, but we also suffer when we think about the next month the whole family will be starving. We not only experience our pain, of the individuals around us, but we also empathize with stories hundreds of years ago, even if it was a lie. Not only do we despair in the moment of separation, but we have firsthand experience of this even when we have just thought of it.

The Loneliness of Humankind | Part 2
2. Forlornness - modern humans' "sumptuous feeling." The human society has evolved at a rate that outstrips that of biological evolution. The Holocene calendar claims that humans first settled down roughly 12,000 years ago, while Homo sapiens had formerly existed for 200,000 years. Insomuch as the "fight or flight" mechanism must have been dated to as early as mega-annum ago, since the dawn of the first species with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

A.Y.E's Universal Alliance Program
Our Current Situation We’re just about two months into our discovery of the worldwide Coronavirus Outbreak. As a united planet we have taken this surprise blow rather well maintaining peace in most areas and collectively coming together to support one another in this unusual time of change. Considering what we’ve been through I’m sure we will come out of this as a global community a trillion times stronger and more capable. This Virus got me to thinking about the Babylonian epic of Atrahasis and the great flood, which played quite a big role in influencing me to write the screenplay and story for the Under-Water City, the second addition to the Universal Alliance Trilogy (The first installment being Outer-Space). This brought on the thought, “Would this virus be able to spread like this underwater? Could a disease like this infect fish in the ocean like it’s affecting humans on Earth right now?” My immediate answer was, of course not. Still there is the question. “How can we support human life underwater?” Well, we can start with developing a more advanced air filtering masks to protect us from the spread of COVID-19. You see, every great era has its natural happening that causes a great reset, restoration or awakening that will churn the cosmos in its endless process of expansion. Every year countries around the world have these rinsing periods of change that are handled in infinite different ways. The two most common reactions from the public are one; panic and the spread of fear, anxiety, judgement and hate or two; the spread of peace, love and hope while creating munificent solutions that will benefit all life and help unite us to grow stronger as a global family. Normally its quite a balanced amount of both hopefully with the ladder tipping the scale to its side ever so slightly. An event that happened rather recently and caused one of these great restorations is Hurricane Harvey. A devastating natural disaster that tried to bring Houstonians to our knees but instead we came together to face it and created stronger bonds than ever before to rebuild our city. I remember working at Top Golf at the time, we filled up trucks with food and other things that we gave away to feed and support people that had lost a lot during the storm (sometimes even including the loss of their homes) to do our part to tip the scale in favor of the ladder. Then of course we can look to Hurricane Katrina where New Orleans was faced with another extreme natural disaster causing them to unite with each other to survive even going as far as transforming the Super dome (which is normally used for sporting events) into their temporary safe haven lifting many people out of despair. There are endless examples of these naturally occurring warnings from mother nature that work to signify that change is needed in our species to continue living a blissful life on this planet like; the extreme hastening of climate change, loss of biodiversity major sandstorms, droughts in Africa, tsunamis in Asia, blizzards in regions like Antarctica and Alaska or even avalanches and volcanic eruptions in certain mountainous regions these are all signs of this. We’ve received warnings like this from Mother Earth going back in time further than the era of Astrahasis and they've been occurring even before the extinction of Dinosaurs and will continue far after we have dealt with Covid-19. However, there is a significant similarity between these occurrences that if we understand can and will help us take care of Covid-19 more effectively while also propelling us to build a better future for ourselves on all fronts that will leave us better prepared for whatever the world decides to throw our way next to ensure our eternal advancement. I will first explain the connection of these occurrences, then go on to branching them together with the notion that now is the time to accept that further oceanic/astronomic research and studies are paramount in the advancement of all life in the universe. I’ll even explain how these new discoveries are not only required for our survival as a species but also desired by the masses by spotlighting certain trends that have been consistently favored in our entertainment and art industry. Finally, I’ll explain how these masks that will prevent this disease from continuing its rapid spread can be the force that tips the scale yet again in favor of faith, love and creation.

Empty
I am waking up to see empty places. Empty stores & empty cars. As if stuck in a movie with no way to change the channel. I walk along with the sounds of air with no interruptions and a feeling of awe. As if to be meditating while in motion. Less and less are visible, and more of the same is contextual. Trees sway and leave change while the seasons move naturally.

"To be or to be not, that the question is..."
The world is changing, changing dramatically, on our eyes, and it is quite obvious that a human is directly involved and is the main factor behind these changes.

Mother Earth Has Spoken. It's Time To Mend Our Ways.
At the beginning of 2020, like many, I posted a ton of quotes welcoming in the New Year, one of which was “2020 smells like healing, transformation, blessings and success”

Big Trouble in Little Punctuation
The broad-minded premise of Neil Burger's Teen Choice Award nominated-Film adaptation of Alan Glynn's techno thriller novel, Limitless (2011), is that we're only using a fraction of our available brain capacity. That we're not making use of our combined innate power to move through the world, because our capabilities are hidden from us. Bradley Cooper's titular character comes across a nootropic drug by the name of NZT-48, to game the stock market, become the President of the United States, and have sex with his wife or whatever. Get this - what if we're only using a fraction of the emotional range of punctuation, ad in-turn not utilizing it to it's true cosmic potential? What if we were able to unlock stigmeological capacities of punctuation, the likes of which we have never seen before? What if we were able to reinvent new modes of punctuation. The possibilities, if I may dare to say, could be Limitless (2011).

Coronavirus. I'll Fight For Our Children. Will You Fight For Them Too?
For reasons unknown at the present time, the coronavirus that is sweeping the world is sparing our children. The most vulnerable of society; the elderly, the sick and the young, tend to be at most risk of viruses and illnesses that have affected our world in the past. While children can be infected, like healthy adults, the virus hasn’t claimed any children, as yet. The recovery rate is still 100 percent.

Coronavirus. Why A "Waste Not, Want Not" Approach Will Help See Us Through The Crisis Ahead
In recent weeks, as the coronavirus has taken hold, and disrupted every aspect of our lives, it’s become clear that we must change our ways. The coronavirus was caused by the abuse of animals and humanity interfering with the natural world to satisfy our consumer and eating habits. We are at risk of further pandemics in the future for this reason.

Our Own Day Here
Suppose...that you knew that your culture would disappear, and that no one who came after, not your children nor anyone else's, would speak your language, sing your songs, hope your hopes, or comprehend your concerns? What would be the meaning of your life?

Skeletons: Windows into the past
A skeleton can tell us many things about how a person lived and who they were. I first became interested in studying skeletons when I was studying for my undergraduate degree. I discovered a passion for learning how people lived in the past through giving the dead an opportunity to tell their stories.
