What the hell does this mean?
Well, as I've set some time aside to meditate this morning, particularly on a bird, standing as still as my gaze, its lizard-esque feet wrapped around the top branch of a tree—a certain type of filtering took place, and I decided to take on, or pick up some of the pieces I've left behind.
Yes, that's you, the abandoned reader of our now antique blog. The once relevant and virtuous postings are now just relics, some slightly meaningless, others, well...you can discern.
Another thing I picked up was another antique, of sorts. My folder labeled "ENV Atmosphere," which I've lugged around with me for the past year or so. The green folder, a reminder of my college degree, academia, long, long stints of sitting, and, uh, some really great realizations about the environment and the world.
Truly—stashed in this folder was a list of websites that have proven to be surprisingly interesting. Many of those 100-level college courses were aimed to crack the egg of the students mind. That's the beauty of knowledge—we can choose to either let it seep in, or not.
In this case, it was one of those weird situations where this remarkably well-traveled and experienced man would show up drunk to our course titled "The Future," where he'd tell the same joke every class, and each time we'd all awkwardly giggle in hopes that he wouldn't realize that he'd lost his mind.
The purpose of the class was to look at trends from the past, in order to "predict" the future. We all knew, based on a very solid trend, that Mr. Reiner would show up and tell us some boisterous lark, and assign us to look at these websites that looking back at—wonder if he found half of them through some dark-web secret society (okay, probably not, but some of this stuff is pretty esoteric).
Basically, it's a sort of gaggle of links to content directed at academic and higher-educated minds that feel some sort of connection with the future. In other words, if you can read, and you think you will exist in the next moment, you may be interested in checking some of these out:

When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.”
