Metamorphose
We are constantly changing, constantly evolving. Every encounter with fellow humans influences our brain's electro-chemical setup. Every exposure to film, artwork, image, story, slightly changes us. As artists we can derive from this insight a significant point, everything that we present to our audiences actually transforms their brains, we have an obligation to make these changes positive.

Magic
spooky action at distance’, The idea that dreams, imagination, images, stories, transform us and change the actual physical world is magical,...Traditional practices and ceremonies have used these phenomena to utilize imagination for self therapy and healing, what do we do with this effect?

Body & soul
Our bodies are hardware devices, our mind and souls are software entities. Cultural content is information coded and decoded by our brain software, running on our brain hardware. As our brain simulates the world.

Eco
Our minds are all linked together to a collective consciousness, AKA culture. Our bodies are linked together to a collective ecosystem, also known as planet earth.
Do we throw our beloved home down the drain?

Collaborative evolution
Evolution is commonly associated with a harsh war of the species. But it is an incomplete picture. Actually, collaboration is the most fundamental attribute of the organism. Life can sustain itself and thrive only by coordination of the various components, cells, , organs and individual organism in a group . Every organism is a collaboration of numerous cells, Microbiome and virome. As a matter of fact, we can see the whole biosphere as one symbiotic ecosystem.

The TAO of the TOE
At Cern's LHC, scientists are looking for evidence of Supersymmetry, the leading candidate for physic's Theory Of Everything. Meanwhile we can formulate a more general principle of the nature of the development of all that exists

super evolution
Bio evolution is based on two main elements, mutations, which multiply and are random, and natural selection which is selective and deterministic.
Natural selection deterministically filters the chaotic flow of mutations and variations.

This model can be applied to all cultural evolution: language, art, mythology, storytelling, technology and internet memes.
The evolution of matter itself is based on a similar principal, chaotic expansion and deterministic natural selection. Which particle order can survive?
At the heart of the Theory of Everything is the evolutionary principal, with its two main qualities, the random expansion and the deterministic filtering. More here.
