A really cute little animation. :)

Greenpeace has a detailed article about the theats of climate change, both ecologically and eventually politically as people fight for access to fresh water for drinking and crop irrigation. The scenarios are apolcalyptic, and they are coming from two of the most conservative institutions on Earth! "But", as Greenpeace's article puts it, "so far, George Bush is sticking to the line that the Kyoto treaty was 'unscientific,' that 'the jury is still out' on global warming, and that everyone 'misunderestimates' him." And Americans aren't concerned, because American "experts" have told them not to be. Funny how the rest of the world's experts have a radically different view of reality.

Take Action! Tell the World Bank to follow the recommendations made by its own panel of independent consultants in a report following a two-year study to consider the Bank's future role in the oil, gas and mining industries. It commissioned the report, but now its management proposes rejecting all but the weakest of the panel's recommendations!

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.  —Niels Bohr

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.  —Jelauddin Rumi

The truth dazzles gradually, or else the world would be blind.  —Emily Dickinson

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.  —Martin Luther King, Jr.

A full-spectrum approach to human consciousness and behavior means that men and women have available to them a spectrum of knowing—a spectrum that includes, at the very least, the eye of flesh, the eye of mind, and the eye of spirit.  —Ken Wilber

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.  —Galileo Galilei

Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.  —Lewis Carroll

Do you remember how electrical currents and 'unseen waves' were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy.  —Albert Einstein

You cannot see anything that you do not first contemplate as a reality.  —Ramtha

The spirit down here in man and the spirit up there in the sun, in reality are only one spirit, and there is no other one.  —The Upanishads

While the evangelical Christians revel in Gibson's gorefest (and in their twisted interpretation of the significance of the life and teachings of the executed Jewish radical Jesus of Nazareth), those of us interested in the present and the future of life on Earth and in increasing our understanding of the nature of the Universe and of humanity and of the human mind, as studied by physicists, doctors, and mystics (rather than as dictated in the writings of some patriarchal, anti-Goddess, war-obsessed, primitive, desert nomads!), a mind-altering film has just been released that I am excited about seeing—that is if it makes it to the Bay Area! I can only hope and assume that eventually it will!

As Radical as Einstein
As Blasphemous as Bruno
As Heretical as Galileo
"WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?!" is a radical departure from convention. It demands a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far unknown, indeed, not even dreamed of since Copernicus.
It's a documentary. It's a story. It's mind-blowing special effects.
A new art form
About a New Worldview
For a new audience
This film plunges you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated—where neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist—where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought.
Like the movies, The Matrix, Vanilla Sky, and Minority Report, this film shows you a greater reality behind the one we all accept as true, and you have the ability to create absolutely anything from your own thought.
But the difference between this film and those movies is—
This isn't science fiction.
It's stranger still—
It's real.
