Snowy Day

Knee deep in snow I walk.
 Listening to the wind 
In the trees, flying 
snow everywhere. 
 Silent the sound. 
Just the rustling 
 of tree limbs flying snow.

 I walk through the forest 
cleansing my my mind. 
Squirrels in the trees 
chattering at my presence. 
 Crows in the sky, 
not a cloud In the scene. 

Further I walk,
 heading for the pond. 
 A red Fox crosses my path.
 Beautiful! 

Virgin snow I plow through.
 I float away in the world that I'm in. 

The pond now in sight 
I ponder the scene. 
 Wind whipping the snow 
across the pond,
huge snow monsters 
I can see.


 Stepping onto the ice 
cracking 
 sounds can be heard.
 I step back, 
deciding a better path 
I need find.

 I return home 
to the sounds of the day,
 cold and refreshed. 
 
Sitting by the fire, 
hot chocoholic In hand. 
 Reflecting and smiling 
 at my time in the woods.

They Will Be Different

Look at the 
younger.
Look
at how they
operate,
how they 
Interact.
Half by 
technology
half 
by human.
They are 
different.
They are
smarter,
with instant
knowledge 
at their
finger tips.
They are
different 
with how
they see
the world.
The divide 
between
them and
the older is
ever widening.
They are like
never before.
It is
different!

Look at 
the youngest,
still in their
cribs.
Innocent.
What world
will they 
know?
It will
be different.
They will
leave their
older 
far
behind!

Reality

I’m here!
I see me.
I hear me.
I’m here.
What’s here?
Where’s here?
Am I real?
What’s real?
Virtual universe.
Possible!
Quantum computer 
generated?
Possible!
We don’t know
all that’s
possible 
so anything
is possible.
Would it matter?
“I think 
therefore 
I am.”
Would it 
matter how
I came to be?
Virtual world,
virtual rules.
If virtual, will
I die?
Cease to exist.
If virtual here,
virtual
anywhere?
Will I simply 
derez, or
pop up
elsewhere?
Possible.
Virtual immortality?
Possible!
Virtual 
life after
death?
“I think
therefore 
I am.”
Possible.

Globalization

Mankind began as a troop animal.
Living amongst its own kind.
Stepping out of the trees onto the Savanna.
Mankind became a wander, small family bands bound by blood. Millenia past, mankind developed farming and the wanderer settled down. Small wandering groups became small farming villages. Small farming villages became larger farming villages, then small towns.
Small towns became larger towns inhabited by hundreds.
Larger towns grew to small cities inhabited by thousands. Agriculture and technology developed to sustain and enhance such growth. Cities evolved into city states, then becoming small countries inhabited by hundreds of thousands. Finally today we have countries inhabited by hundreds of millions.
All along this path battles and wars, killing millions along the way, till today we have weapons that can wipe out us all.
The salvation of mankind and the natural progression of things is global organization, global integration.
The globe is being wired with its own global neural net, a global brain if you will. One world controlling itself.
One world that will not nuke itself! The salvation of us all.

Times They Are a Changing

The Twenty First Century will be like no other.
For millennia the human race experienced glacial progress forward.
Generation after generation pretty much the same.
Then slowly at first things began to change.
The Bronze Age, the Iron Age, jump to the Industrial Revolution and now the Technological Revolution. The pace of progress has been speeding up, soon it will be moving at light speed. A compression point will then be reach when 
this light speed of change causes a paradigm shift for humanity. Our differences will melt away as not relevant in the new reality. Power brokers will loose control of the buttons and levers they use to control. Humanity writ large will be calling the shots. Institutions of "influence" will be swept away. Greedy power merchants swept away,
never to be seen again. Poverty and illness, swept away. The roller coaster ride is upon us. 
Buckle up, it's going to be one hell off a ride.

The Awakening

It began as the second decade of the 21 Century entered middle age, an underlying sense of unease, change. New technology increasingly altering perceptions.
Reality not seeming so sure. Our five senses, were they enough? Were they telling us the whole story, or was most of it hidden from our perceptions? Increasingly questions were being asked. Are we alone? Do we live in a computer simulation, a Matrix? Is there a Multiverse? Parallel dimensions? Quantum mechanics suggested the underlying substructure of reality was just probabilities.
What does that even mean? Are we even bright enough to ask the right questions?String theory, M theory, the theory of everything! What! The Singularity is near, post humanism, immortality. Will people learn to live together or tear each other apart? Are we on the cusp of a golden age or a nightmare? Utopia or dystopia?
Will we ever know the truth?
Yet to be determined

Disruption

Are we ready for what’s to come?
Will we know how to behave?
Never before in human history has there been such disruption. It was once a much simpler place. No more. The future is arriving faster than ever before.
Gia now has a neural net the brain is coming alive.
Things are changing at such a clip not like anything seen before. Things will never be the same.
Computers that once filled rooms are now held in the palm of our hands. Not too many years from now they’ll be cursing through our veins.
Nanotechnology, biotechnology, computer technology exploding at such a pace, soon enough, the internet will be connected to our face.
We’ll all be part of the global brain, have instant access to all the knowledge mankind has thus far obtained. Soon, artificial intelligence will join us where we live, things will never be the same. Machines will build machines smarter all the time. Where we go after all this may drive us insane.
Some say we’ll build virtual worlds every bit as real, and designed them to meet our every need, absolutely ideal. No one knows for sure which way all this will go.
I suggest you batten down the hatches though, it’s going to be quite the show.

A World

like no other. Tiny blue speck in a void unfathomably large.
Self aware beings truly not aware of much.
Self impressed with no reason to be. 
Obsessed with sex and violence driving forces of existence.
Compression point coming.
Evolution of thought and reality speeding forward like never before, moving at such speed it could easily fly off the rails.
How to manage the transition is the quest. New driving forces must prevail, the old ones will explode it all. Hate and hormones must be exchanged for a global philosophy of humanism that benefits all. 
Technology will be the key. Will it be controlled by the few or the many? Will central masters dictate or will mass communication win the day. Will it be a global dictatorship or universal democracy? Will Humanism prevail or will religious/ governmental oligarchies subjugate? The future is fluid. Humanism must prevail, or dystopia it will be.

Step Away

Modernity.
Technology.
Racing
head long
helter-skelter 
into the
future.
Like a
runaway train
speeding
out of
control.
Historic 
societal norms
breaking apart.
What to 
think,
what to 
believe 
losing 
resonance.
Explosion of
information 
barraging our
senses.
Overload.
Current institutions 
clueless 
of what’s coming.
Acceleration.
Biotechnology.
Information technology.
Nanotechnology.
Artificial intelligence.
All converging
on top of
our heads!
More change
coming
in the next 
twenty years
than seen 
in the
last three hundred.
What to 
do?
How to
cope?
For now
at lest,
step away.
Relax,
visit nature.
Walk in the
woods.
Meditate,
sit by the
ocean.
Leave the
technology home.
Our minds came
from 
simpler times,
not designed 
for
light speed
change.
Step away,
at least 
for awhile.
Reset your
sanity.
Less you
implode!

Speeding Up

Earth is becoming something different, something more.
For millions of years proto-humans strode its bounties until
Homo sapiens arrived. Once here, humans took millennia
incrementally building improving its lot in life. Step by step,
developing new ways of improving, one change building upon another.
Cooking food, better nutrition, better weapons for hunting and protection.
Hunter-gatherers working as teams for better outcomes,
feeding and enabling larger populations. Development of farming, enabling villages to take root.
More improvement, villages become towns then cities, city states to countries.
Communication develops, improves, writing, printing books for the masses, new ideas, morse code, telephones. The planet communicates.
Medicines, industrial revolution, humankind spans the globe.
Technology improving, quality of life improving, living longer.
Science, ever probing every aspect
pushing the boundaries of capabilities. Traveling further and faster, trains, automobiles, planes
Spacecraft. Computers, internet, global neural net, global mind, artificial intelligence, human cyborgs. The pace of change ever quickens.
Humankind, on the cusp of change
so explosive the consequences of which are unfathomable.
