Truth Seeking in the Attention Economy, Market Returns vs Inflation

Dave Colum and Greg Carlwood lament the state of the "attention economy," where outrageous claims often overshadow grounded truth-seeking.

Mediumship and the Intensity of Spirit Mounting

The process of identifying one's spiritual court often requires an investigation Misa led by a godmother or godfather. Natalia L40 describes the intense nature of spirit contact, including channeling and the "mounting" of a medium.

Classroom Rotation and the Destruction of Context

The practice of moving students between classrooms at the sound of a bell is analyzed as a method to create a controlled, parenthetical attention span. This chaos reinforces the teacher's role as the sole authority figure while preventing students from developing a deep understanding of context. This lack of context is compared to the deskilling of craftsmen, where highly skilled machinists were replaced by workers performing singular, repetitive motions.
