Complete the form below with an intelligent and thoughtful comment about something important! Without a comment you won’t get in! Herein I try to focus on our epistemic crises; the importance of dealing with distractions and nonsense and information management to create knowledge and belief systems to live a fulfilling life and confront the harsh realities of climate change, war, AI, and toxic culture. We are entering The Age of Cognitive Empires (Petan Katel)! Then write to me at [email protected] so that I can try to determine if I need to manually enroll you in the site.
I’m not trying to compete with Academia.edu or ResearchGate etc! But I hope this can be a place to share ideas about the nature of education today or promote actual research (not highly technical). This may include thoughts about lifelong learning and knowledge and belief systems and critical thinking/media/AI literacy, with an emphasis on climate and living closer to nature, empathy, the common good. My goal is to promote knowledge and action that will advance an Ecological Civilization in this new age, as the alternative to our toxic culture and failed Neoliberalism. (No sales pitches! No offers to update this site!)
An excellent reading from the Fifth Element is “Dancing With Paradigms”: “Today, the dominant agendas shaping public and private research and innovation remain largely tethered to goals of control, profit, and securitisation, whether in military, commercial, or surveillance contexts. Far less attention and investment are devoted to research aimed at regenerating our societies, healing ecosystems, or fostering long-term planetary wellbeing. Transforming these priorities could have profound implications. It would require a shift from fragmented, siloed disciplines toward a more integrative approach, one that brings together the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, the arts, and indigenous sciences to serve the real, situated challenges of people and communities.”
Hi, This website looks excellent. I like the way you set up the tabs. Also, the pictures add an element of nature! This will prove to be very useful for students and emerging writers! I have to go find those short stories and submit them! Great job!

Thanks Christina! The world of publishing is now on steroids and we have to make sense of it! I enjoy helping budding writers, as well as those who, shall we say, are more mature! I’ll give you permission to be an author and you can explore that on the site. Fun!
Unique design and idea Rick! Good luck on your new venture!

Well, Rick, I’m here. I took a quick tour through Linked-In. I was surprised how many names I recognized — and how many of those are old friends or family! What exactly is the purpose of joining Linked-In?

Hi Bob, I think most people are networking for jobs, but I use it for dialogue, with my group on College Research Sharing. I’ll invite you into it. Publishing these days necessitates the use of social media not only after publishing but before. I’m interested in exploring ways to link info and ideas in stories, books, memoirs, etc. to generate real dialogue and go beyond the surface of the text. It’s a Brave New World of publishing! So far, I don’t have anything on my site http://www.emanationspress.com but that may change. It isn’t a WordPress site like this one.
