‘Deabbreviation’ in Digital Communication
In the digital age, rapid communication often compromises warmth and depth in relationships. Abbreviations like “HBD” instead of “Happy Birthday” reflect a trend of emotional detachment.

Causal models of Growing Up: Insights & Practices
Adult development (“growing up”) has neglected modern statistics and AI. These methods, together with the largest dataset (>80K hand-scored responses), yield unique insights into vertical growth.

Subtle Energies: Research and Technology
By presenting results of our research involving our own quantum random event generator (REG)-based Wyrdoscope devices in Integral Tantra groups and death processes in an Intensive Care Unit and a Hospice, we show that consciousness processes indeed show meaningful correlations with structures in random data. These effects are often called parapsychological- (or short: psi)-phenomena. While […]
Urbanism & the Integral Lens of Patrick Geddes
