- [Religion, an Overview](https://www.freexenon.com/2018/10/17/religion-overview/) - I am going to post some really general information on religions from a more academic perspective.

For once, we can keep ourselves ahead of the curve by adopting this as a secondary means of timekeeping to make life for a globalized Humanity easier, and to prepare Humanity for our inevitable future as an interstellar species IF we survive that long.

Here is a quote from science fiction and fantasy writer Veronica Sicoe which has a great introduction to this concept: In 1964, Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev figured that civilizations can be categorized by the total amount of energy available to them. He defined three levels of civilizations based on their capacity to harness and use power. These have since been expanded by another four (in light of the increasingly wild speculations spawned by marrying mathematics and theoretical physics).The Kardashev Scale, as it is called, now lists 7 levels of civilizations based on their power consumption, and implicitly on their technological advancement and extension.

- [Quick Comments on Biden's Inauguration 2021](https://www.freexenon.com/2021/01/20/quick-comments-on-bidens-inauguration-2021/) - No Violence from MAGA Supporters There was no violence from MAGA supporters which was a good thing. Biden's Inauguration Speech Biden's borderline-coherent acceptance speech was empty emotional manipulation, filled with empty platitudes (like Democrats in general), and was devoid of any policy talk at all. It is sad that people are happy and satisfied, or

Are politics dirty, unconscionable, horrific, and you cannot even stand the thought of watching another candidacy ad or debate? Does the thought of politics make your stomach turn? When a politician speaks do you always expect to see their horribly forked and reptilian tongue? Do you think that politicians don't really care and don't represent you? Feel like your vote does not matter... at all!?! Believe me, I get it. I did not vote for many years and I did not care at all about politics because of thoughts like those... until my 30's when I really started to care about one issue in particular which sparked a raging fire in me that has not subsided to this day.

- [Benefits of a Resource Based Economy for Industries and Businesses](https://www.freexenon.com/2018/10/03/benefits-resource-based-economy-industries-businesses/) - In reading, researching, and writing about a Resourced Based Economy (RBE) over the last year my complete view of the how the world is and how it could be has radically changed. This post will cover how businesses and entire industries could be transformed while attempting to make the world a better place by attempting to fix unbridled capitalism towards a more ethical model for businesses. The end result for manufacturing, businesses, and research is beyond what we would define as businesses or even government, because it transcends these, and eventually requires the end of capitalism and its horrors, so thinking of business in a way that is outside how capitalism defines it can be a difficult feat. If you have not read my previous posts on Resource Based Economies and watched those documentaries then you may want to do that, so that you have the background to understand what I am talking about. Here are links to those posts:

We cannot have a truly representative democracy or a government that represents the people until our horribly broken electoral system is fixed. Our corrupt corporate owned government is what stands in the way of America being a truly great country instead of the laughing stock that we are due to how corrupt and fraud-ridden our system is. It would be amazing if we could finally join the rest of the world and be an actual democracy and not just throw the word around just because we like the sound of the word or because it is seen as a sacred though defiled part of our people’s collective history.
