More About Me

I'm passionate about

Performance art, equality, sustainable living, entertaining others, the ocean, bonnaroo, burning man and world travel

An idea worth spreading

Having corporation and communities realign their efforts and dollars to manufacture goods and services which would benefit the entire community and still make a profit. I.E. Food for all as a combined effort between farmers, grocery stores, distributors and consumers.

Talk to me about

  Sep 15 2011: sort of ... the thing is, those cultures have had a lot of time and exposure to each other. i think that encountering something new entirely would not produce the same relationships as countries in close proximity.

  Sep 15 2011: I think their life-cycle will determine how much they ponder. We think about the after-life only because we die within 100 years (more or less). I think all other religious ponderings stem from our mortality.

  Sep 15 2011: I was *just* talking about this last night! how religious metaphpors are becoming outdated with our increasing understanding of the universe and how we function within it. that morality and humanity itself will shift and adapt to encompass an entire 'human kind' rather than us vs. them in the next thousand or so years. main attribution to joseph campbell.

  Sep 15 2011: do you think any of the potential extrasolar planets could be cultivated to allow things like the H2O molecule to thrive and establish new building blocks there? even if they are void of O2?
