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 ♥

Ray Kurzweil
The Singularity Is Near:
When Humans Transcend BiologyFuturist Philosophy Book [2005]
❝ The great inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil is one of the best-known and most controversial advocates for the role of machines in the future of humanity. In his latest book, he envisions an event—the “”singularity””—in which technological change becomes so rapid and so profound that our bodies and brains will merge with our machines.
The Singularity Is Near portrays what life will be like after this event— a human- machine civilization where our experiences shift from real reality to virtual reality and where our intelligence becomes nonbiological and trillions of times more powerful. In practical terms, this means that human aging and pollution will be reversed; world hunger will be solved; our bodies and environment transformed by nanotechnology to overcome the limitations of biology, including death; and virtually any physical product can be created from information alone. The Singularity Is Near also considers the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes, and is certain to be one of the most widely discussed and provocative books of 2005. ❞

This show is amazing because the whole story is organized around a class beef between rich & poor teenagers on an island in North Carolina, where a corrupt rich family is trying to steal a lost treasure that rightfully belonged to a poor family many generations ago, and the legacy of past injustices reverberates thru the contemporary teens’ quest to find the treasure. All the characters are great & the drama is profound. Brilliant show! ♥Neonn

Yheti
Experimental Psychedelic Bass Producer
“Yheti’s live performances are an ever morphing detailed sound sculpture that plays with the ears of those open to the more experimental, surreal, low end heavy side of electronic music. With the intention of creating a champion dance environment through high energy bass, deep rhythms, and soul driven melodies.

The Sound of Animals Fighting
Progressive Experimental Screamo Math Rock Band (LA)
“For the purposes of mystique (and, one assumes, legal reasons due to the various participants owning recording contracts), the experimental noise rock collective the Sound of Animals Fighting appear in public only in cheap creepy cute children’s Halloween masks with cartoon animals on them. Furthermore, the members of the band — really more of an always shifting musical collective in the manner of Broken Social Scene — are referred to only as the animals their masks represent. Therefore, their debut album, The Tiger and the Duke, lists the Walrus, the Lynx, the Bear, the Nightingale, the Ferret, the Armadillo, the Hyena, the Octopus, the Skunk, the Llama, the Swan, the Dog, the Raven, the Tortoise, and the Tiger as participants. As gimmicks go, it’s a good one….” [more on Spotify]

Chris Anderson
Makers:
The New Industrial RevolutionTechno-Philosophy Book [2012]
❝ Wired magazine editor and bestselling author Chris Anderson takes you to the front lines of a new industrial revolution as today’s entrepreneurs, using open source design and 3-D printing, bring manufacturing to the desktop. In an age of custom-fabricated, do-it-yourself product design and creation, the collective potential of a million garage tinkerers and enthusiasts is about to be unleashed, driving a resurgence of American manufacturing. A generation of “Makers” using the Web’s innovation model will help drive the next big wave in the global economy, as the new technologies of digital design and rapid prototyping gives everyone the power to invent — creating “the long tail of things”. ❞

Mindblast
Kaleidoscope
Downtempo Psychedelic Bass Album [2020]
“Kaleidoscope, Mindblast’s first LP ! Between Ambient, Bass Music, Hip-Hop and IDM atmospheres these seven tracks sign a new sound experiment. After two years of electro-acoustic work on soft and melancolic textures, this contemplative album takes you on a journey to the heart of dreamlike worlds. An eclectic creation, with multiple musical facets at the crossroads of modular and acoustic music.”

Pablos Holman
How to Become Relevant when a Robot Takes Your Job
TEDxLA Talk [2007]
This is the real big picture y’all, a vision of the future & where all this technology is going & what humans need to do to become better role models for robots. He explores what’s really important in our lives & why our current approaches to technology might be insufficient to allow its full potential to come to fruition. ♥ Neonn
“In this talk, Pablos dares you to imagine the possibilities in what once seemed impossible: a harmonious co-existence of humans and robots: Robots taking over your jobs and why they should; how this can trigger fear in humans and why it shouldn’t; redefining happiness; solving world problems like eliminating disease; a personal narrative of parenting that will bring you to your knees; and the responsibility of humans in all of this.”

Todd Phillips
War Dogs
Military-Industrial Complex Satire Film [2016]
Great comic illustration of the depravity of the war industry, through the lens of a couple amateurish leeches who get rich middle-manning death machines for the US military, starring Jonah Hill & Miles Teller.
“With the war in Iraq raging on, a young man (Jonah Hill) offers his childhood friend a chance to make big bucks by becoming an international arms dealer. Together, they exploit a government initiative that allows businesses to bid on U.S. military contracts. Starting small allows the duo to rake in money and live the high life. They soon find themselves in over their heads after landing a $300 million deal to supply Afghan forces, a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people.”

I love this show because the Jesus character is very realistic, like this is what Jesus would be like in modern society. He’s homeless & his nemesis is the landlord of the apartment complex where his homies live, where he often hangs out. They start a community garden & the landlord asshole tries to use the police to get it shut down. Lots of hilarious situations ensue. Enjoy! ♥Neonn
“The hi-jinks of a street-smart savior living in modern-day Compton, on a mission to spread love and kindness throughout the crime-ridden L.A. neighborhood with his small group of followers.” [IMDB]

Welcome comrades, to our maiden voyage into the tumultuous waters of civilizational prognostication! 🔮 ^^ It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the constant barrage of bad news. It’s easy to think humanity is hopeless. This is our first exploration into the possibility that everything can be different. We don’t have to delude ourselves with fantasies about why the future will be good. There are real reasons to be hopeful about where this planet is headed. 🦋 Utopian Cartography is a new podcast to explore those reasons, hosted by Neonn Felicity.
Scott Mills is a Transhumanist Activist & Social Scientist, a Geo-Political & Technological Analyst, a Non-Monogamy Communication and Life Coach, a Cryptocurrency Expert, & an all-around Progressive Futurist think tank. We met at Luminosity Gathering in Canada in 2017. We were both giving talks in the Metaphysics & Art space, and I was very impressed by his energy & his ability to apply profound insights from neuroscience & psychology to reinvent human social relations to embody a philosophy of radical love & radical openness. In the conversation you are about to hear, we discuss the path thru civilizational despair to becoming a utopian optimist, & how the only rational response to a world in crisis is to spread love & wisdom, as far & wide as possible. We are on the verge of human liberation, so get excited & enjoy the ride.
