This is probably going to sound ridiculous to a lot of you, so prepare yourself. But stay with me here. Wouldn’t it be cool to start an experimental city? A place where everyone contributed in a meaningful way, without the need for money or other useless things? It could be separated agriculturally, commercially, and so … More Experimental City
“Alright folks, let’s get it together.” Stepping out of his makeshift office that NASA had converted from a vacant conference room, President O’Hare lifts the stack of documents that need to make the trip with him. All high-level US officials were relocating from NASA headquarters to the Sand Hills of Nebraska, where one of the … More C2 – Chapter 2
Before you read this, please understand that I’m not an “anti-Obama” person. I’m a vehement advocate for anyone who displays leadership qualities and genuinely cares for humanity. Considering that, don’t interpret this as ignorant rhetoric aimed at hating on someone for no reason other than the fact that he’s Obama. On the contrary, I think … More President Obama
This whole situation sucks, big time. I think we can all at least agree on that. Basically, there are two points of view from what I’ve gathered. On one hand, we have people saying don’t let Syrian refugees in because it threatens the security of American citizens. On the other, we have people saying America … More The Refugee Dilemma
Epilogue In Moscow, things were going relatively well for Yuri and his legion of drugged up crazed engineers. His ship, which he was calling The Savior (as an intentional poke at the Salvation), was being constructed at a much faster pace than he ever could have imagined. Despite his ego-maniacal motivations of becoming a dictator, … More Continuity – Epilogue
All this stuff I’ve written lately about humanity keeps making me think of more and more to expound upon. One of these days I’ll shut up about it, I promise. But yesterday I was editing the chapter about the (fictional) origins of humankind, and somehow came up with a particular paragraph that I really ended … More Collective Reasoning
After getting a refreshing night’s sleep, Carson, Brody and Jennifer wake up early after their first night in the new underground residence they’d been granted. Their bunker rooms were comfortable, and had all the essentials. The only downfall was the community shower room, which ended up becoming more like a locker room shower after Carson … More C2 – Chapter 4
So I just stumbled over an article on my news feed about a school system near Chicago that’s being given an ultimatum – allow x-gender-identifying students access to whichever locker room they choose or risk losing federal funds. For the sake of not deviating from my main focus on this entry, I’ll just say this: … More Human Nature and its Exploits
I posted a status today that made me decide to write this. I want to take a moment to talk about something that can’t be measured, but is rather a general motif that’s swept through our nation over the past few years and political administrations (yes, that’s plural). The motif I’m referring to is that … More Division and Unity – When Will We Wake Up?
As humanity tiptoes further and further into the second millennium, I find myself frequently asking: what’s in store for us, the millennials? What are the next generation-defining discoveries we’re going to make?
