We're Gonna Talk Straight down to Earth so that Everyone can Understand.

     I know I'm fucking that up but who cares.

What I'd really like to do is just open things up a little, let everything feel a bit less restricted...  we all seem to know about alpha waves right?  

    The alpha wave is a long-sought protracted mental state where someone is either in a rather active meditative state or a rather fluid skills use flow.  If you've ever tried a brainwave monitor it is tricky to have alpha from one moment into the next.  Mine was usually puffing on a cigarette or listening to good music.

    I was into brainwave monitoring after it was 1976!  Just kidding.  Monks and shamans alike were also into these wave of brain, in that deep meditative states were associated with a lot of these same types of things.  And that's just from memory!

    Aside from the 'ol brainwave check in, we may just want to check in with ourselves... "Hey, how am I doin' today?" "Am I feeling truly grateful and peaceful?"  

    I am not for formalized prayer but I am for doing that sort of thing... the more you can ask yourself honestly "how am I making myself feel" and "why are my negative thoughts boiling to the top" the more you can send those thoughts away from you instead of having them camping out in your mind like a shut down train station.

    That's why I write.  Think, mostly.  Being what this is, it has always worked out just fine, as long as we don't blow up into smithereens because of a solar flare or a too-close-for comfort asteroid.

    There aren't many quick fixes in life right now.  We have a system in place where only a few billionaires and some numbering-in-the-many tech broheems have the economy by the balls as much as some energy and pharma sue ticals.

    So it's not that my meanderings are all later dross to look over and see if I've said something stupid.  Nor do I just write for myself in mind; I actually do like for a select batch of people to look over.  And maybe if those few tell another few...and on and on.

    I was gonna start this out with a few missteps I've seen Rogan go for... I was going to start with UFO knowledge and the 7th Golden Age but...  It's hard to go in on these topics without a refresher course for most people.  Does anyone remember the Phoenix Lights? It was in 1997 for godssake.

    I'll give it up for Rogan though in that he sees us being a techno-cybernetic organism that is either now or going to continue to birth some superior reasoning thing/being.  You only have to use your imagination and AI will be there like a guiding force, not the dominant feature of the species.  AI types and purpose will be like handily omnipresent augmented reality spectres, recognizing any time we feel frustrated or confused.  It could be things to other people but I think this is the augmentedness we were promised initially,

Be there everywhere at once... kind of nowhere too.  A digital escape route.  But what about the real world?  If humans see with .0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum, what sort of waves or undetectable signals are we unable to parce from noise, and how long of a timeframe do we now have to understand such a fabric of information?

    MY initial love for Joe and his kindred spirits:  Life moves fast and things get confusing, especially as a comic, and particularly as an artist.  Each of us have our own way of doing things.  It's not enough to simple comment on things as they are, but yes pontificated and make bold assumptions as hopefully one day those things come true, and come into being.
