It Occurred to me…

In this latest post, I’m determined to dispel what may be confusion surrounding my upcoming book, “Occurrence — the Very Strange Story of William F. Blume.” You may have come across the images introducing the various chapters, which could easily be mistaken for scenes from a children’s tale. However, I assure you, this is anything but a fairy tale or mythology.

While the illustrations may exude a fanciful charm, “Occurrence,” on the contrary, delves deep into a profound...

I Don’t Want To Believe… “The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself

“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.” — Carl Jung

(An excerpt from the final chapter of OCCURRENCE — The Very Strange Story of William F. Blume)

Finally, I understand that my story — Billy’s story — might seem hard, if not impossible, to accept. I leave that entirely up to you, the reader. I won’t subject myself to the challenges of cross-examination or endure any more ridicule than I’ve already suffered at the hands of those I’ve loved and trusted. My story is what it...

OCCURRENCE - Book II, Hunting Dragons ForewordThe Fermi Paradox, Dark

Foreword

The Fermi Paradox, Dark Forests and Black Swans

Thus, Book II attempts to apply a philosophical framework and scientific creativity, seeking explanatory insights into...

I Have Questions…

In my never-ending, compulsive quest to connect some kind of mystical dots… which I admit may or may not be there — I’m reminded of the scene from the 2001 film, A Beautiful Mind, where Russell Crow, playing mathematical genius John Nash, is seen chasing pigeons around the quad in an attempt to find a pattern.

The Distraction Paradox The air in my study hangs heavy. Memories peaking

The air in my study hangs heavy. Memories peaking through crevices within the walls, corners, files, books. Dust motes drift in amber fading winter daylight, swirling, unbothered, ethereal. The glow pools over the worn grain of my desk — scarred, uneven, much like me. Outside, the winter winds claw at the glass. They whisper something primal. Ugly. Incomprehensible. I lean back, the chair creaks under me, my eyes falling to the half-empty tumbler of scotch. Johnny Walker please, Blue Label of...

A Conspiracy of Firewalls. (an excerpt from Book II)

I have Questions...

Elon Musk provocatively once suggested that humanity might merely be a "bootloader" for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

So, what if humans are just someone else’s biological wet-tech? Our organic essence, a crude scale of consciousness, a replicant “Form” (Plato) facilitating a progression through the ages…Bronze, Iron, Enlightenment, Atomic, Digital, and so on.

I have Questions...

Might such a concept reveal an...
