Quantum as a pathway for resilience capacity
Science and mathematics rely on rules, but the quantum world begs for anarchy.

Simplify Luxury
As humans, we have figured out a way to make widely accessible sensations difficult to experience due to the nature of our lifestyles. That is, leisure and relaxation.

Reclaim Creative Attention
Guilt has been compounded by overwhelm and anxiety, fueling a cultural convenience / productivity feedback loop. People feel pressured to perform all they can in their waking hours, either from fear of death, fear of poverty, or both. Overwork and exhaustion lead to a pleasure-inducing binge cycle, where we feel we “deserve” screen time to make up for our hard work. But if screen time is not leisurable, and disrupts the nervous system, we end up feeling worse than before.

Embrace Traditional Knowledge
If the origins of thought did not emerge suddenly, then when did we start thinking? Could “thinking” have originated prior to Homo sapiens? Does it precede humans entirely? What if thinking and creativity are not just “creature” processes at all, but exist elsewhere across life?

Be The Change
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, exhausted, or undervalued all stop us from creating. But physical or social circumstances actually don’t universally block creative impulses like we may think. Throughout history, oppressed people innovate into better circumstances. We find ways to escape the cage. If the motivation and dopamine are there, people will move mountains to get what they desire. We literally flatten mountains, carve tunnels through them, or kill swaths of species to get what we want.

Grow & Share Food
Our common ground best manifests in our food– we all eat, and we all become what we eat. We talk, we cook, we share. Take a walk down any historical path and you’ll eventually get back to food.


Steam-Scrolling
A few years ago there was a massive fire in the Amazon rainforest. Not to my knowledge, forest fires were actually quite common in the Amazon. But nevertheless there were headlines, images, and videos showing acres and acres of lush old-growth forest set ablaze in a massive fire all over social media.

Start Here
It is in our nature to wonder, to yearn, to be curious for better. I believe this essence is not unique to humans. It is essential to life itself. Soularly is a business, an artwork, and a commitment. Soularly invites you to find your place in a new paradigm that is called the regenerative creator economy.


Grant Earth’s Personhood
The case to grant Earth’s personhood is supported by countless Indigenous leaders, conservationists, and environmental lawyers who all agree that Earth is a person with intrinsic value outside of resources. I am inclined to align with spiritual teachings that see the planet as an organism related to us.

Environmentalism of the rich - Book Review
Peter Dauvergne bridges contemporary struggles against corruption and inequality in developing countries to European colonization. In doing so, he exposes the origins of capitalism’s insatiable hunger for vulnerable communities with valuable resources.

Applications of Nanotechnology in Aquaculture
This paper discusses how nanotechnology development is expected to contribute to the advancement of aquaculture by improving fish farm technology. The specific topics focused on include nanotechnology applications to fish feed formulation, disease control, water filtration, and seafood packaging.

Plant growth and herbivory in a mangrove system - article review
Florida’s increasing human population, along with more intensive agricultural practices and thus increases in nutrient runoff to coastal estuaries, serve as the general motivation for assessing mangrove responses to various nutrient regimes. Considering the ecosystem services that mangroves provide; including protection from erosion, water filtration, and nursery habitat for fish; the authors also chose to evaluate ecosystem functions of red mangroves. The authors aimed to evaluate tree growth, nutrient levels, and herbivory impacts across two similar mangrove islands that differed primarily in the nutrient inputs that they naturally received.
