Evolutionary Biology, Technology + Philosophy: A Higher, Deeper Learning Of Sustainability & Energy Pathways

Humanity is getting rewired, and wired further, through our technologies, that mirror to and reflect from ourselves. Collective consciousness is making more of a shift from closed loop thinking, devices and dualities, to more open flexible systems and multidimensionality, in which we can employ multiple perspectives for advances and improvements in both technology and biology.Continue reading “Evolutionary Biology, Technology + Philosophy: A Higher, Deeper Learning Of Sustainability & Energy Pathways”

Stellar Nucleosynthesis, Auroras & The Creation Of Elements

Stellar Nucleosynthesis, Auroras & The Creation Of Elements Sarah ikerd1 *1 Studio Shangri-La, Somerville, Massachusetts 02145 *sarah.ikerd@studio-shangri-la.composted 18 May 2024 ABSTRACT: This article proposes to bridge or connect the ongoing cosmic processes of stellar nucleosynthesis with the activities of our Sun, as well as the occurrence of in Earth’s magnetosphere, as well as other planets,Continue reading “Stellar Nucleosynthesis, Auroras & The Creation Of Elements”

Measures Of Intelligence: Efficiency, Density & Magnitude

Logarithmic mathematical scales represent orders of Magnitude or proportional relationships. A measure like IQ however is linear and only applies to humans, though. And while some of life is linear— Intelligence is a complex and multifaceted emergence, and not unique to humans. IQ has been more of a shorthand for convenience anyway, not capturing theContinue reading “Measures Of Intelligence: Efficiency, Density & Magnitude”

“Translations” Mixed Media: Electromagnetic Signatures Of The Soul

”Translations” is a recently completed ink, acrylic and plastic mixed media and part of my recent ‘Electro Skulls’ three series, consisting of “Drip” and “Electrocardiogram.” This is foremost dedicated to the electromagnetic spectrum and its interpretations from math, science, spirituality — hence all the symbols, with particular attention to those from physics and electromagnetism, andContinue reading ““Translations” Mixed Media: Electromagnetic Signatures Of The Soul”

Art + Science: “Electrocardiogram” & “Infinite Metamorphosis”

“Electrocardiogram” is 4’x3’ painting based on the skull as a symbol of life. The structure of bone is built on a hexagonal crystalline apatite structure. And the hexagonal or carbon ring you can see at the center of “Infinite Metamorphosis.” The hexagon is a fundamental shape of life’s chemistry. The fall leaves are the transitionContinue reading “Art + Science: “Electrocardiogram” & “Infinite Metamorphosis””

Space + Technology: Advanced Propulsion For Interstellar Travel

With a very promising 5,347 exoplanets and counting reported to NASA, the next question is: How do we get to them anytime soon? How do we expand humanity’s evolution into deep space? Respect to Earth of course, but our numbers are growing, and we’re due to explore the vast cosmos. The answer is to developContinue reading “Space + Technology: Advanced Propulsion For Interstellar Travel”

Maximizing Human Regenerative Processes — Full Article, Parts 1-4

Part 1. Sun Up, Sun Down The earliest known forms of timekeeping, which is an expression of long term thinking, were found in the Semliki Valley of the modern day Congo, as a “hash-marked” bone dated 18000 BC,¹ and from later in 8000 BC, moon-shaped pits dug in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.²  More elaborate forms of timekeepingContinue reading “Maximizing Human Regenerative Processes — Full Article, Parts 1-4”

Longevity⁺ Corner: What Is An NRF2 & What Foods Does It Like?

NRF2 stands for Nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 —say that 10 times fast — and is a “DNA transcription factor” protein that regulates and enhances how genes are expressed by binding to it. It’s a complex other world inside the human body, yet perhaps we can understand better by comparing with the outer worldContinue reading “Longevity⁺ Corner: What Is An NRF2 & What Foods Does It Like?”

Maximizing Regenerative Processes Part 3: The Human Circuit, The Infinite Self

Transformation from archetypical self to infinite self is both philosophical and physiological. The infinite self is multifaceted and maleable. To be experienced, one must allow it. An archetype is a model or example that can be copied or emulated. In mythology and literature, a common archetype is the Hero, and a classic Hero’s Journey isContinue reading “Maximizing Regenerative Processes Part 3: The Human Circuit, The Infinite Self”
