Special Needs Students – A Social Impact Bridge To Collective Intelligence?

This two-hour talk provides additional context for Washington Sean’s guest post, here, about his experience of the Santa Paula Mountains and Thomas Aquinas College as an energetic gatekeeper. In it I walk through a map I made about a year ago that links Vanguard Corporation and Burroughs Research Lab in Paoli, PA to the Deveraux Foundation’s Campbell Ranch School for special needs children in Goleta, CA. Included are side explorations into Big Tech’s workforce development programs for autistic youth, bio-nano and theoretical physics research at UC Santa Barbara, Theosophy’s Ojai roots, the Bionic Woman, an Arco-affiliated Bauhaus sculptor who retired to Montecito, and IoT “Hollywood” cosmetics.

You can access an interactive version of the map below here.

    The Journal of Nonlocality has been set up to address an experimental and conceptual impasse in understanding the nature of nonlocality and observer effects in quantum mechanics. In conjunction with ICRL’s Mind-Matter Mapping Project, we hope to create a research venue where cutting-edge experimental tools in physics, biology and parapsychology can be combined to design more revealing protocols; to bypass the experimental difficulties identified by Wheeler and Bell; and to cast new light on the role that these effects play in genetic regulatory systems, placebo, remote perception and retrocausality.

    This is a very interesting topic! I’m currently interested in the research of all school-related issues and I have been diving into the work of John Taylor Gatto (he introduced me to the Prussian model of education currently employed by all public schools in the US and other parts of the world). Anyway, close to my profession is the field of special education so it was interesting to see your take on it. Do you have more insight into the rise of autism and its related therapies? For instance, Blackstone (an investment firm) acquired CARD (Centre for Autism) in 2018. We can see that tons of money is being made from this “disorder”. I am also concerned about ABA therapy which, in my opinion, is not far away from abuse. I would appreciate more on this topic in the future. Thanks a lot for what you do!

    Hi Alison,

    I just noticed a post about AR. Did I understand correctly, that you are moving to AR? I live in a small town next Mena. If there’s anything I can do to help you get acclimated, please, do reach out!

    May you have a smooth transition.

    God bless,

    Carin
