Conscious Advocacy: Transforming Ourselves to Transform the World

Conscious Advocacy: Transforming Ourselves to Transform the World, by D. Conterno (2024) In a world where crises seem to multiply faster than solutions, there is a growing question about humanity's problems…  Could they be solved by the same fragmented thinking that created them? Leaders, movements, and voices clamour for change; however, no significant and long-lasting healthy changes have resulted. Also, the noise of activism often drowns out the more profound call for inner transformation. When we agree that true change begins not in the structures of society but within the very consciousness of the individuals who shape those structures, a different approach must be undertaken. This is the foundation of what we call "conscious advocacy." Conscious advocacy is not just about doing; it is about being.

Quantifying, in June 2024,Humankind Survival Probability in the Context of AI, by D.

AI on Philosophy Part 1

 AI on Philosophy Part 1, by D. Conterno (2023) AI (ChatGPT 4) on imagining a fictitious encounter between Georg Hegel and Jiddu Krishnamurti. In a realm unbounded by time and space, a meeting of two intellectual giants takes place. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Jiddu Krishnamurti find themselves in an ethereal salon in the afterlive, furnished with a blend of classical and minimalist aesthetics—a space where reality and abstraction merge. A conversation then starts... Hegel: Ah, Mr. Krishnamurti, what an unexpected but delightful convergence. Given our preoccupations with understanding the very nature of existence, it seems fitting that we meet here in the afterlife, a place that defies the material constraints we so meticulously dissected. Krishnamurti: Indeed, Mr. Hegel. I must say, however, that I find the idea of an 'afterlife' to be yet another construct, albeit a fascinating one. It's the 'now' that truly matters, don't you think? Hegel: Ah, the Ete
