If I seek to know myself, what transformation is missed if I avoid the experience of death?

Sparks and motifs from the
2010 H+ Summit @ Harvard.

With beginner’s mind, I’ve started exploring Humanity+ with new ears, new eyes, a new query of life.

Citizen scientists, reputation.
Moving beyond sociobiological speculation to DIY research.
An exponential rise
in consciousness.
Patterns of inquiry,
A calculus of opposites.

Empiricism vs. true scientific understanding.
The utility of sonification?
Let the data play.

Connecting to brands

About Brandkarma

“Hello and welcome to Brandkarma, a new community that cares about the world we live in and the world we leave our kids.”

When something happens to brands you love or hate,
Brandkarma can send you alerts.

“We all know that the choices we make as consumers have implications for companies, their stakeholders and the planet. And most of us want to make the right choices – all things considered – if only we knew what they were and it didn’t cost us time or money to find out.”

It’s your culture. How will you brand it?

Start by clicking on a brand’s name at Brandkarma’s pick brand page.

I am an American Idol fan… Crystal Bowersox was my idea :)

Well, okay, not really my idea, but she certainly sings my song:

I’m broke, but I’m happy…
I’m poor, but I’m kind…
I’m short, but I’m healthy… (Yeah!)

I’m high, but I’m grounded.
I’m sane, but I’m overwhelmed…
I’m lost, but I’m hopeful (Baby!)…
What it all comes down to is that everything’s fine, fine, fine.
I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other one’s giving a high five.

What it all boils down to, my friends, yeah, is that everything’s quite alright.

’cause I’ve got one in hand in my pocket, and the other one’s giving a peace sign.
And I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other one’s giving a high five.

One Hand in My Pocket, One Hand Up for Bowersox!
