Time Stamp #1 – Rosy-colored glasses
ShareHere are some things I’m doing or thinking about. 1. I have committed myself to provoking members of the Occupy Movement (I still consider myself a member) into asking what the movement means now that, you know…there is no occupation, and we have become what we said we were not, a protest movement. I believe [...]
Inception – 21st Century Miracle
ShareI was talking with my friend E.D. last night about my theory of ‘The Miracle Dream.’ I have long believed that the only thing that could create the kind of lasting progress that many in the world hunger for is a genuine miracle, something unexplainable that appears real to everybody. There can be no political [...]
21st Century Dialogue
ShareI posit that the following video is to our time what Plato’s dialogues were to his. The use of video allows for a kind of perfect reading that was impossible in earlier times, giving us a chance to meditate not just on the words spoken but the interpersonal dynamics, the subtext, that will make the [...]
Entering into dialogue and other new agey problems…
ShareReligions are not philosophies. Nor are they collections of poetry. Even though they can be looked at through these lenses. They are world views. It is easy to be seduced by the good feelings aroused when people of two different faiths engage in what is called interfaith dialogue in order to foster the safety of [...]
An Inappropriate Truth #1 – Production
ShareWhen I realized I had achieved genius I immediately became less productive and proved that I understood perfectly what was needed in the 21st century. We must produce less and produce better, and I set myself upon this goal. Overproduction will very soon become the sign of an unfinished way of thinking, that is entrenched [...]
I was wrong – Russell Brand is very interesting.
Share My wife and I have both shared a disdain for Russell Brand…granted we’ve never really watched anything in its entirety that he’s been a part of…but his association with Katy Perry, and his seemingly corporate quality just turned us right off… but after watching this I am convinced that his mind is a fascinating [...]
KRS – One – The Voice of the Apocalypse
ShareHip Hop will be to this awakening what Rock and Roll was to the 1960s… Why? Because, as you will see in this video, it is all about data crunching, and Rap is especially suited to this end, at a time when we need an efficient source of musical and intellectual inspiration… I want to [...]
Akbar’s Poetry #1 – The Task Master
Share We are tasked to Gather up what is left After our identities are smashed After our idols are taken away Time after Time. We are tasked with this Because…I would like to say It is the only way to know That we are real But I fear the opposite is true Paranoia is [...]
The Tilt of the Earth – Revolujah!
ShareIn an empty park a man stands with his hands held high in praise, speaking as if he were surrounded by a multitude. In his eyes shines the light of the future. And some might ask…how can he be so sure? I have been that man. There is a special joy found within the emptiness [...]
Precious Terrorists Among Us – T. Winston Sayer
ShareI cannot begin to adequately express the excitement I feel about the piece I am posting here. It has been submitted to me by T. Winston Sayer, a deep and provocative thinker of the first rate who has been keeping the results of his unique research rather sequestered for longer than I cared for…but such [...]
I’ve got a feeling…a feeling deep inside…oh yeah…
ShareI left court today after accepting an ACD (Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal) for my arrest on the Brooklyn Bridge. I will talk about that a bit further down, but when I was driving away after a long lunch with my fellow cellmates from that night a few months ago the following song came on [...]

ShareDear Globatron Citizens, as you know we always strive here at Globatron Headquarters to respond to the concerns of our dedicated readers. This post is dedicated to Buddy, a recent commenter who felt we were being too casual with our use of Christian literature, and suggested we meant to insult this wonderful religion. In an [...]
Waiting for Geiko
ShareOk, this post is in response to a bit of discussion going on over at one of Globatron’s posts about David Icke…and I have a theory, that I will use this video to support. My theory is that David Icke is a lizard..and that he wants to present lizards as people of power because he [...]

The Train Kept a Rollin…
ShareTo honor those contributors who have shared their stories recently on the post Ward 13, I was reminded, by the theme of the subway platform of the following chapter from my novel in progress…This chapter discusses one of the characters and the transformation she had on the subway platform, a place that seems to represent [...]
Hard Wears Soft Wares
Share Every great philosopher is asked to describe two aspects of existence, reality and poetry. Reality is the whole and poetry is a way of confining the whole to a symbol. I find poetry in using hardware and software as metaphors for perceiving philosophical phenomena. The same object can be seen as hardware or software, [...]
The Tao of Akbar #2 – History 2.0
ShareHistory is not dead. However, never before have so many people wanted to perceive it in the present. This is the paralysis we feel when confronting our place in the world, as we seek to inject ourselves into a perceived narrative arc, an allegorical illusion inculcated by a mechanized system of culture. Many people call [...]
Akbar’s Meditations #1 – Profit See
ShareWhat is Profit? Akbar’s Meditations: Take the question above and think about it, but take the first instinctual response and dig deeper. What is profit? What is it? What is a real world example? How does it work? What is it grounded in? Is it good? Is it bad? Is it real? What is its [...]
