As you know, I am leaving Australia soon to begin life as a so-called 'digital nomad'.

First I have to return to Melbourne to say goodbye to some people.

Originally I was going to fly down there but then I came up with a better idea...

The 'Asch experiment' is a key plank of ACT realm lore. So goes the story, back in the 1950s, a researcher named Asch proved that although people will conform like sheep in the face of group consensus, a lone voice of reason can break the spell of groupthink.

It is easy to see why this idea appeals to many in the ACT realm, especially those who like a good fix of hopium: Change is only one truth-teller away!

I once fell for the Asch experiment meme myself...

Is there any real difference between 'objective' and 'subjective' reality? If an individual will not take charge of projecting his own meaning onto the world, then who will do it for him? Some people claim to be in communication with a higher power or greater intelligence -- are they all crazy? And why are so many people in the ACT realm certain that tap water is toxic?

Spot which one of the following terms is out of place: Food. Nutrition. Horticulture. Earth. Health. Magick.

Pro-tip: this is a trick question.

Following in the lead of TNG, OS, and Al, Hilly from Minnesota becomes the fourth person to step up to the plate and share his own Member Creation.

Lindsay joins me live on the verandah to discuss the Dinoskeptic film and so much more. Streamed live on Saturday, 24-Nov-2018.

I say ‘live and let live’ 🙂

Just a quick update.
