a carefully curated treasure trove
of miscellaneous conscious
evolutionary utopian artworks,
auditory & visual,
curated by Neonn Felicity
The following is a randomized highlight reel of the most prodigiously felicitous pieces of my information diet, the media that I believe every conscious person ought to digest and share. This site will be a constant work-in-progress, as I continue in my quest to discover and curate the most enlightening art and literature I can find in cyberspace.
So really, thanks for being here! Cosmic Evolution appreciates your intentional attention! And it is my sincerest hope that you benefit from these exceptional philosophical artistic geniuses and their various epic masterpieces as much as I have. I owe the depth and breadth of my own consciousness to the profound truth and goodness in their vision, and to their powerful ability to express it so beautifully.
♥ Enjoy & Evolve ♥

❝ In the early 1960s, computers haunted the American popular imagination. Bleak tools of the cold war, they embodied the rigid organization and mechanical conformity that made the military-industrial complex possible. But by the 1990s—and the dawn of the Internet—computers started to represent a very different kind of world: a collaborative and digital utopia modeled on the communal ideals of the hippies who so vehemently rebelled against the cold war establishment in the first place.
From Counterculture to Cyberculture is the first book to explore this extraordinary and ironic transformation. Fred Turner here traces the previously untold story of a highly influential group of San Francisco Bay–area entrepreneurs: Stewart Brand and the Whole Earth network. Between 1968 and 1998, via such familiar venues as the National Book Award–winning Whole Earth Catalog, the computer conferencing system known as WELL, and, ultimately, the launch of the wildly successful Wired magazine, Brand and his colleagues brokered a long-running collaboration between San Francisco flower power and the emerging technological hub of Silicon Valley. Thanks to their vision, counterculturalists and technologists alike joined together to reimagine computers as tools for personal liberation, the building of virtual and decidedly alternative communities, and the exploration of bold new social frontiers.
Shedding new light on how our networked culture came to be, this fascinating book reminds us that the distance between the Grateful Dead and Google, between Ken Kesey and the computer itself, is not as great as we might think. ❞Categories: Books, Lectures, Literature, Symposia, Talks

Anti-War on Drugs Crime Drama Series [2020-present]
I absolutely love this show. After watching the trailer, I expected it to be some basic Drug War propaganda about how good innocent people’s lives inevitably get destroyed & ended early whenever they get involved with drugs, but I decided to watch it anyways because it looked like potentially quality content (& I am a propaganda analyst, after all). The series opens with a cold-blooded murder, which seems to confirm my suspicion. But as the 8-episode first season unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that the narcotics detective is the villain of the show, rather than the hero, and that the drug users and the gangsters who supply them are merely victims of a brutal inhuman system of tyranny called drug prohibition.
As with almost every brilliant radical film & TV show, the industry stooges who professionally write reviews all seem to have hated it. That’s how you know a piece of cinema is truly revolutionary & contrary to the official narrative of social control they want us to consume. Anti-War on Drugs propaganda is very rare in this country, so that’s all the reason we must cherish it when it does manage to get made. Please watch this show! You can get a free trial of STARZ through Amazon or Hulu. Don’t sleep on it!

Dr. Rick Doblin
Transformational Psychedelics
The Long Now Foundation Seminar [2020]
“Humans have consumed psychedelics for at least the last 10,000 years. The outlawing of psychedelics in most of the world in the 20th century didn’t stop that, but it did put an end to promising research into their psychotherapeutic applications to treat depression, addiction, PTSD, anxiety, and trauma. Today, we’re in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance, with some psychedelics fast on their way to becoming legal medicines. One of the key players behind this movement is Rick Doblin, Ph.D.. In 01986, he founded the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a non-profit research and educational organization that has developed the medical and legal framework for the use of psychedelics to treat mental health conditions. MAPS has distributed over $20 million to fund psychedelic research and education, and in 02017 won fast-tracked “Breakthrough Therapy” designation from the FDA for using MDMA-assisted psychotherapy to treat Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With legalization now in sight, what is the future of psychedelic medicine?”

“On this episode we talk with Douglas Rushkoff, author, teacher, and host of the Team Human podcast. Rushkoff’s work explores how different technological environments change our relationship to narrative, money, power, and each other. His latest book, also called Team Human, calls for the retrieval of human autonomy in a digital age. Rushkoff is also no stranger to the psychedelic scene having collaborated with Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Terence McKenna, Ralph Metzner, Mark Pesce, and Erik Davis. We discuss some of the parallels between digital and psychedelic mainstreaming, the mental health epidemic as an externality of capitalism, and placing our trust capitalist cures. Will COVID-19 be to psychedelics as 9/11 was to surveillance capitalism? September 11th became the excuse to implement a surveillance state and surrender digital technologies to corporations. Will we see psychedelic medicines become the go-to recovery option for COVID-related mental health fallout? We also explore what a true psychedelic renaissance might look like.”

❝ Society is broken. We can design our way to a better one.
In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make ‘personal success’ virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper―rethinking the very foundation of our social system.
In this engaging, important work, Peter Joseph, founder of the world’s largest grassroots social movement―The Zeitgeist Movement―draws from economics, history, philosophy, and modern public-health research to present a bold case for rethinking activism in the 21st century.
Arguing against the long-standing narrative of universal scarcity and other pervasive myths that defend the current state of affairs, The New Human Rights Movement illuminates the structural causes of poverty, social oppression, and the ongoing degradation of public health, and ultimately presents the case for an updated economic approach. Joseph explores the potential of this grand shift and how we can design our way to a world where the human family has become truly sustainable.
The New Human Rights Movement reveals the critical importance of a unified activism working to overcome the inherent injustice of our system. This book warns against what is in store if we continue to ignore the flaws of our socioeconomic approach, while also revealing the bright and expansive future possible if we succeed.
Will you join the movement? ❞
