Confronting Existential Chaos. Here. There are insurmountable difficulties in our efforts to improve society, uppermost being a general lack of awareness of how supercomplex and overwhelming the process of creating culture really is. The solution might be surprisingly simple once we understand the components.

Anatomy of Culture. Here. A semiformal definition of the culture concept, the most complex in our universe, and an analysis of its components.

Deracinating Racism. Here. Humans as social beings have a strong need to group ‘think’ which now and then has catastrophic consequences.

PROPOSED: A SCIENTISTIC PERSPECTIVE ON EVERYTHING.
A POSSIBLE BASIS FOR IMPROVED COMMUNICATION IN A WORLD OF CHAOS AND INCOHERENCE.

1. Scientistic Perspective on Everything – Introduction  History suggests that we are bound to repeat it.

2. Scientistic Perspective on Everything – I – Reality-As-It-Is
A short simplified history of the stuff that everything is made of, including life, writ large and small. It seems that ours is an ‘intelligent’ universe.

3. Scientistic Perspective on Everything – II – Consciousness
An evolutionary view of the manifestations of consciousness in all living creatures, from bacteria on up. What made us human?

4. Scientistic Perspective on Everything – III – Culture and Existence
A short and incomplete history of our growing and evolving social reality, and the critical role of each individual in creating and maintaining *Culture*, a highly misunderstood concept.

5. Scientistic Perspective on Everything – Epilogue
