NASA Discovers New Life Form, Could Revolutionize Green Energy
Back in the early 70s two friends of mine, Peter Tompkins and Chris Bird, wrote first and article for Harpers and, then, a book The Secret Life of Plants proposing that plants have a measure of consciousness. It caused a fire storm in science, but it changed the popular gestalt. Science is catching up. Here is some fascinating new research demonstrating plant consciousness and memory. This is also another step in the trend of discovery about the matrix of life in which we live, and the unity of consciousness in which spacetime is grounded.

Organic Farming Changes Agriculture from a Huge Carbon Source to a Carbon-DESTROYER
“Nick Dyer-Witheford (2007) has proposed the term Commonism for a society where the basic social form of production are the Commons (while in capitalism, commodities are the basic social form). As the success of commons-based peer production shows, commons and peer production go together very well. We can therefore expect peer production to be the typical form of production in a commons-based society. Commonism would be a society where production is organized by people who cooperate voluntarily and on an equal footing for the benefit of all.
