I haven’t read this book, but it looks interesting:
Costa pulls headline for today’s news to demonstrate how accelerating complexity quickly outpaces that rate at which the human brain can develop new capabilities. With compelling evidenced based on research in the rise and fall of Mayan, Khmer, and Roman empires, Costa shows how the tendency to [...]
I am most certainly a Daniel Pinchbeck fanboy. I’ve never met the guy (though I’ve written for Reality Sandwich) and factoid: my brother’s college girlfriend dated Daniel Pinchbeck’s former girlfriend. I’m the kind of fanboy who finds that interesting. So I’ll pick up anything by DP as soon as it’s released. I think he’s one [...]
Wow, this piece is cynical but still interesting. I’ve never been to a local Evolver movement gathering because as I’ve said, I’d make a crappy hippie. As much as I love Daniel Pinchbeck’s writing and his open outlook, some of the writing at Reality Sandwich is a shade too New Age-soaked and credulous. [...]

2012 the Return of Quetzalcoatl
On the heels of bickering about money between two consciousness researchers, I recently came across a lawsuit being filed against David Jacobs regarding his alien abduction research. I was disappointed that Daniel Pinchbeck cites David Jacobs as a credible authority on alien abductions because I always thought his research was so slanted. Anyone who calls [...]
Check out the long discussion on Reality Sandwich about its withdrawal from a Peru retreat scheduled for spring. Gist is that Daniel Pinchbeck was going to lead a group to take Ayahuasca. I entertained the thought of signing up for half a second because Pinchbeck’s writing has seriously opened my mind up, but I think [...]
Say what you will about the conspiracy theory inherit in the Zeitgeist movement, but you cannot deny the intelligence and sincerity of Jacque Frescoe and his vision of a possible utopia. Here’s a fascinating interview (first part) with Larry King from 1974.
The Venus Project clearly separates the Zeitgeist movement from other conspiracy theorizing from the [...]
