This Blog is for Geeks

On the leading edge of geekdom and philosophy are ideas like the singularity, the transhumanist movement, and the noosphere. I believe it’s all going to happen, and quicker than we realize.
What I see is a bunch of geeks discussing spiritual concepts, mystical concepts, but there still being an untouchable aura of taboo around the idea of spirituality or God.
Then I see mystics and “woo-woo” people understanding these concepts on an intuitive level, but not having the clarity or discipline to discuss them in a way that geeks can grok.
I want to bridge the gap.
I want to talk about God in a way that makes sense, in a pragmatic, reality-based way. In a “what is really going on here, in this Universe?” kind of way.
I also see therapists and healers of various persuasions, as well as conflict resolution people and communication experts talking about really helpful stuff that could make the technological revolution go smoother. And I see it getting dismissed or just not given the same level of importance as technological innovation or business innovation. But it is important, and it will only become more important as our world changes.
I want to translate mysticism and emotional healing work into a language that geeks get, and encourage geeks everywhere to investigate these topics. They matter. And to investigate with an open mind first. Curiosity first, before criticism. In the new integral world we are creating, every perspective matters. Every field holds some of the truth, and only through sharing openly and non-judgmentally will we all learn what we need to learn to move forward. It’s a blind-men-and-the-elephant kind of thing.
We can all be vibrantly alive and happy. Here I discuss the ideas and tools that will get us there.
