In my previous post, I discussed a few ways that the world’s first meritocracy could come into existence. Regardless of which road is taken, it is critical to have an outline of how our society can begin to move in the direction of meritocracy and a viable model of what a functional meritocracy could look…

From unconscious bicameralism to consciousness, from ignorance and anarchy to having the knowledge and experience to build the first true Meritocracy.

Some people of this kind simply…

I’m currently reading Harry Knox’s book, Consciousness: The Real Neuro-Linguistic Programming and thought this passage reflected a lot of what my perception of the last post… “People imagine that human consciousness is the same across all humans.
