Any planetary recovery must necessarily begin by examining the economic principles which underlie the difference between a successful and unsuccessful economic policy. In particular, we must first elaborate the characteristics of a self-developing system -- one whose evolution is entirely governed by its internal relations, not subject to any fixed outside metric.

Peter Martinson interviewed Dr. Richard Altrock, of the Air Force Research Laboratory, back on December 7, 2011 at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting in San Francisco. Altrock is a heliophysicist, who specializes in observations of the solar corona. Back in July, 2011, he and three other groups issued a forecast that the Sun was not only headed into a late, weak solar cycle, but that this may be the last time we get to see any significant sunspots on the Sun for, perhaps, several decades. You can see a summary of that forecast here. In this interview, Altrock updates that forecast, and adds a surprising twist.

Dr. Altrock's views are not the official position of the United States Air Force.

From Plato to Lyndon LaRouche, the fallacy of sense perception has been the foundational topic for the advancement of mankind in all of humanity's past. This interactive report covers the boundaries of sight, hearing and language, which leads us to look to the famous Helen Keller to answer the question: what really is mind, after all?
