When conversation about renewables vs fossil fuels comes up, we always thunk about what's really out there...

As we race to continue to develop more and more places for people to live, we would benefit from considering what design would help humans thrive.

"These skills also feed into greater aspects of health like nervous system regulation. Here, we begin tuning back into what it means to be human and levels of inner peace that are truly our birthright. This state of being also begins to change the lens through which we see the world. Instead of it being a scary dangerous place, or a place where we should have no hope, we can tune into possibility, curiosity, and creativity."

It's a far out idea, not one we could see anytime soon, but to explore the elements of it and notice the ways in which we even resist ideas like this is a useful exercise. What's in the way of imagining a new story?

"As we push the edges of science and philosophy, we may find that consciousness isn’t just something we have—it’s something we are. And that realization could transform not only how we see the world but how we live within it."

"Jung defined a synchronicity as meaningful and causally related correlations between outer (physical) and inner (mental) events. A good shorthand is meaningful coincidence. The coincidence is between external events and inner meaning that matches those events in some way or was inspired by them."

"Here at Collective Evolution, we refer to this time as the shift in consciousness, and we are currently living through it. The ‘darkness’ is being exposed, and this ‘darkness’ has primarily relied on the manipulation of human consciousness."

"The hippocampus is like a hub for memory and spatial navigation, but it’s also deeply tied to our emotional well-being. As it atrophies, not only do we lose memory function, but our ability to process and adapt to life’s challenges can diminish. Think about how profound it is that something as simple as walking could be a pathway to reconnect with our brain’s vitality.

The walkers saw a 2% increase in hippocampal volume, while the stretchers experienced continued shrinkage. To put that in context, a 2% increase in brain volume in just one year isn’t just a statistic—it’s a window into what’s possible when we commit to small, consistent changes."

"Plato believed that, before birth, the soul possesses knowledge, but that knowledge is lost when we enter into the world at birth. Our senses cloud the remembrance of real truths as we enter into the world of illusion and eventually become slaves to our senses. Perhaps this is why many spiritual practices like Buddhism and several yogic philosophies preach the abstinence of sensorial pleasure to an extent, because the more we engage in our senses, the further we drift away from the knowledge of our soul."

There is more than enough human potential and ingenuity to solve every challenge we have - but we have to change the culture and consciousness driving the way our world functions.

"Maybe it’s the stories we tell ourselves about winter—cold, short days, darker moods—and the emotional weight that can come with the holidays. But it’s not what the numbers show."

Are you yay or nay on this?🔴🟢

The FDA is set to decide soon on a possible ban of Red 3, a petroleum-derived food dye found in snacks, candy, and drinks. The petition pushing for its removal argues there’s “no reason” for it to be in our food beyond making products look more appealing—perhaps even misleadingly so.

Red 3 has been under scrutiny for decades since its approval in 1969, but recent studies bring new concerns to light. Research links it to gut issues, behavioral problems, and even cancer in animals. Perhaps most alarming, 27 human clinical trials suggest that food dyes, including Red 3, may trigger behavioral challenges in children—mirroring symptoms similar to ADHD.

The decision on Red 3 could be a small but important step toward prioritizing health over illusion. Whether or not it gets banned, it’s a reminder to stay curious, ask questions, and look beyond what’s merely “appealing” to what’s actually nourishing.

❓What would you like to see the education system look like?

Regardless of how you feel about Elon, he's right here. Our education system has always been a bit ineffective, but as the world changes at breakneck speeds, it's become more apparent how far behind it truly is.

Some of the homeschooled kids I meet, particularly ones who are being homeschooled for educational purposes and not just for religious reasons, tend to be noticeably more attentive, intelligent, and inventive than kids in public school systems. It's cool to see!

"What if the very foundation of our economic system is flawed? Recall that almost every decision we make in our economy today is based on profit maximization. We believe we must compete to the scale and level of destruction we do because that is what is “natural” to humans. Is this really true?

All other natural creatures can maintain balance, why not humans?"

🕒What's your take on this?
President-elect DonaldTrump says he’s in favor of eliminating daylight saving time, calling it “inconvenient” and “very costly” as his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) push for it.

The debate over daylight saving time (DST) reveals more than just our frustration with changing clocks—it highlights our disconnection from natural rhythms and obsession with control. Twice a year, we disrupt our lives, leading to spikes in heart attacks, accidents, and stress. All for what? To "save daylight"? The Earth doesn’t care whether it’s 7 a.m. or 8 a.m.—the sun rises and sets regardless.

Trump’s push to eliminate DST might seem practical, but it also raises deeper questions. Why do we grant so much power to arbitrary systems? If something as minor as a time change can disrupt our well-being, what other structures have we blindly accepted that run counter to our natural state?

What would life look like if we aligned more with the Earth’s rhythms and less with human constructs?

What do you think? Are we living in a multiverse?
🤯 Google’s quantum chip, Willow, recently performed a task in under five minutes that would take the fastest supercomputers longer than the age of the universe to solve. This astonishing leap in quantum computing has some scientists wondering: does this point to the existence of parallel universes?

While Google's Quantum AI team hinted at the idea, others are more cautious, saying it’s not quite proof of a multiverse—at least, not yet. But here’s the bigger question: if the multiverse is real, what does that mean for us? For how we view reality, choice, and connection?

This discovery is a reminder of how much we still don’t know—and the power of curiosity to expand our understanding of what’s possible. The multiverse may not be confirmed, but it’s sparking important conversations about the nature of existence.
