We're all time travelers. We're all from the future. Some of us act like it.

Self-destructive: watching Heroes DVD episodes two days straight, into the wee hours while recovering from a deep bronchial cough that had me off work on Friday.

We seek to create circumstances that afford the opportunity to define ourselves in moral terms; we do this specifically against a reality that does not willingly supply such terms.

It is always easier to imagine destroying the created than to ourselves imagine newly, and create. So it is with 'creating' moral circumstances: we tend to do this destructively, by breaking down ourselves and those around us to a critical moment where moral action is 'forced back' upon us 'from outside ourselves'.

A constructive alternative to this pattern is active love, which creates its own pattern of moral interdependencies.

We feel most vulnerable where we are most newly grown, and it is fear for this vulnerability that dissuades the path of creating moral circumstances through active love. Active love is a kind of boot-strapping self-growth of individuals through connection to other moral points in the universe, and universe-growth through elevated integration of parts. We should not fear harm coming to such new growth, for it is better that it exist a moment than never to be imagined.

Has anyone else had the eery sense that the 'real-human-being-confirmation' wavy-text Google uses is part of some post-Soviet technology scheme to warp the collective consciousness on key issues, through the use of amalgamations of keybuzzwords from among current issues?

Ok, well I have. The 'non-sense' words are just the kinds of language you might dream (or speak while sleeping), with a significance you can't grasp consciously but that is THERE -- don't deny it, IT'S THERE!

I'm not really a Google-hater, but I do sometimes wonder.

Your response to my concerns on energy issues included the following:

"...and to appropriately weigh environmental
protection with our need for economic expansion."


Modern civilization can grow significantly into new frontiers of trade and wealth-production in the technology and media sectors (and it is precisely the degree to which our economies depend on these sectors that we become increasingly susceptable to terrorism), but we must begin NOW, to imagine economic models for prosperity that do not assume growth.

This is important for the world's natural environment and in a geopolitical sense. China is growing (and mining aggressively against sound environmental principles all around the world). Venezuela is growing. Southeast Asia is growing. The world is shrinking and the more we assume growth for our economic sustainability, the more the nations and peoples of the world are going to but heads. We've got to begin imagining how to simply BE.

Thank you,

Robert Monk
