"considering the long-term consequences of our actions and promoting sustainability and responsibility."

"I watched an evolution of information presentation unfold. Headlines got dumber, and news stories on TV got shorter and shorter. 30 second sound bites were eventually replaced by memes and 10 second Tik-Tok videos."

Two topics that keep me awake at night.

1. Staying consistent and disciplined so I can achieve long term fulfillment and impact my family/community in positive ways. What that looks like day to day, and remembering to slow down to rest, read, dance, or create art of my own with this one messy wacky beautiful life. Having access to LSD/Mushrooms is always a clutch tool for reflecting the totality of life on earth. :P

2. The dumbing down of information, addiction to devices, what information is accurate, how to make a well informed decision if you can't tell if the information on hand is real or not. It hurts my brain how daunting and bleak it is.

Which circles me back around to finding LSD and people to laugh and cry about it all with. :)

And, failing psychedelics, there's always dark humor. Thank goodness for dark humor!

Haha it’s the only thing that keeps me going when I’m not with my kids watching them explore/play or in the gym. Sometimes- ya just got to laugh it out and then get on with it. ☺️

Yessiree. My mind expanded a few times while in college, and it changed everything for me.

I always took the image of earth for granted. Didn't think about people before they got the aerial view. Trippy, indeed.

The idea that there's a "before and after" for humanity seeing an image of the entire planet is fascinating.

I was well aware of the famous Earth image but definitely not Stewart Brand's impact on making it happen! This was educational. Keep fighting the Long Now fight, Andrew.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to scroll endlessly through my Facebook video feed.
