With Howard Bloom and host of Evolutionary Collective Conversations, Patricia Albere
Tuesday, December 6th at 6pm PST/9pm EST

Stock markets, love, termites and Hollywood: what is the common thread? It’s the cycle of up and down, boom and bust, attention and rejection, passion and fear that defines nearly all aspects of life. This expansion and contraction, exploration and consolidation is how life ambulates forward in time. We think the most direct rout between two points is a straight line, but time and again, since the beginning of the measurable universe, it is a wildly unpredictable, and curvaceous cycle, a wheel!  A wheel that constantly rolls, not down, but up.

Tune in to learn how to accept and embrace this level of flux, change and potential for massive creativity.

Howard Bloom is a brilliant and passionate soul. He is a Visiting Scholar at New York University, has been called “next in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Freud, and Buckminster Fuller” by Britain’s Channel4 TV, “the next Stephen Hawking” by Gear Magazine, and “The Buckminster Fuller and Arthur C. Clarke of the new millennium” by Buckminster Fuller’s archivist.

Bloom is the author of The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History (“mesmerizing”-The Washington Post), Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century (“reassuring and sobering”-The New Yorker), and The Genius of the Beast: A Radical Re-Vision of Capitalism (“A visionary creation.” Dr. A.P.J. Kalam, eleventh President of India).

Bloom has founded  three international scientific groups: the Group Selection Squad (1995), which fought to gain acceptance for the concept of group selection in evolutionary biology; The International Paleopsychology Project (1997), which worked to create a new multi-disciplinary synthesis between cosmology, paleontology, evolutionary biology, and  history; and The Space Development Steering Committee (2007), an organization that includes astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Edgar Mitchell and members from NASA, the National Science Foundation  and the Department of Defense. He has done 20 years of fieldwork in mass behavior, founding two successful businesses in popular culture and helping to build or sustain the careers of Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Billy Idol, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, Simon & Garfunkel, Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, Run DMC, and roughly 100 others of the ilk.
