75: On Purpose [February 7, 2014]

Heron has been stargazing and chatting with the fans. Tom expands on the homework Heron assigned from the week prior. Tom thinks being an intellectual outlier is an important thing. Heron's ideas of punctuated equilibrium seem critical to his future society speculation. The listener submitted topic of horses was discussed. Tom is critical of YouTube revenue. Tom asks an Eckhart Tolle question in terms of Heron's temporality. Tom is talking at SETI in March. Tom has been reacquainted with invasion of Iraq and Waco. The discussion gets into Charles Manson territory [Editorial note: G.G. Allin is the fellow's name Tom can't recall, following on, it might have been Bundy rather than Mason]. Tom asserts Pete Seeger was the last of the left in the US. Brandon Darby is a narcissistic ego for hire. FN 2030 frames the discussion for a good portion of the remainder of the recording including John Holmdahl and the On Purpose Network [Editorial note: Tom was able to find John on FB. Stay tuned for an update if one is forthcoming].
