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 ♥

Sage Francis
Personal Journals
Deep Existential Hip-Hop Album [2002]
I found this album in the public library teen music section when I was 13 years old. It truly changed my life. I had been loving mainstream Hip Hop for a few years, but this album opened my world to a whole new type of self-expression that expanded my own appreciation of the depth of contemplative life. Thank you Sage.
“Originally released in 2002, “Personal Journals” blindsided the music industry with the deeply revealing and confessional lyricism of DIY stalwart Sage Francis. If you ever wondered how Sage became so strange or famous, well… this is the record that started it all.”

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.

“The year is 3025, Earth as we know it a distant memory. Our tiny dismal planet in a state of ruin, Earth’s top aeronautic and interstellar scientists work feverishly on a scheme to a save humanity as greed, chaos and violence has consumed the very place we call home. The only hope we have left is to find a new home, a new place to thrive peacefully away from the decay that has become of our beloved planet.
This is the story of the starship “Great Red Cypress” an interstellar frigate containing the very seeds to create life elsewhere, piloted by it’s captain, Lawrence Francis Ogre, we start our voyage on the outer orbit of what was once Earth, Our beloved captain sends one last message to the one he loves before crawling into his cryo tube preparing for 100 years of sleep while traveling at the speed of light. This is the story Of A Great Red Cypress.”Categories: Bass, Dubstep, EDM, Glitch-Hop, Lo-Fi, Music, Psychedelic Bass, Trip-Hop

Douglas Rushkoff
Open Source Democracy
Social Philosophy Lecture [2008]
Computers & Society, NYU. Following is the foreword, by Douglas Alexander, to Rushkoff’s paper on the same topic:
“The internet has become an integral part of our lives because it is interactive. That means people are senders of information, rather than simply passive receivers of ‘old’ media. Most importantly of all, we can talk to each other without gatekeepers or editors. This offers exciting possibilities for new social networks, which are enabled – but not determined – by digital technology.
In the software industry, the open source movement emphasises collective cooperation over private ownership. This radical idea may provide the biggest challenge to the dominance of Microsoft. Open source enthusiasts have found a more efficient way of working by pooling their knowledge to encourage innovation.
All this is happening at a time when participation in mainstream electoral politics is declining in many Western countries, including the US and Britain. Our democracies are increasingly resembling old media, with fewer real opportunities for interaction.
What, asks Douglas Rushkoff in this original essay for Demos, would happen if the ‘source code’ of our democratic systems was opened up to the people they are meant to serve? ‘An open source model for participatory, bottom-up and emergent policy will force us to confront the issues of our time,’ he answers.
That’s a profound thought at a time when governments are recognising the limits of centralised political institutions. The open source community recognises that solutions to problems emerge from the interaction and participation of lots of people, not by central planning.
Rushkoff challenges us all to participate in the redesign of political institutions in a way which enables new solutions to social problems to emerge as the result of millions interactions. In this way, online communication may indeed be able to change offline politics.”

Dr. Rick Doblin
The Future of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy
TED Talk [2019]
“Could psychedelics help us heal from trauma and mental illnesses? Researcher Rick Doblin has spent the past three decades investigating this question, and the results are promising. In this fascinating dive into the science of psychedelics, he explains how drugs like LSD, psilocybin and MDMA affect your brain — and shows how, when paired with psychotherapy, they could change the way we treat PTSD, depression, substance abuse and more.”

Russell Brand
The Emperor’s New Clothes
Hilarious Finance Documentary [2015]
“How did the rich get so…rich? In this hilarious, passionate, and empowering look at income inequality, activist comedian Russell Brand and director Michael Winterbottom (The Trip) uncover the roots of the world financial crisis. With a mix of rabble-rousing outrage and audacious comedy, Brand examines how bank bailouts have left the 99% high and dry—taking his message straight to the top as he fearlessly confronts the corporations and political leaders responsible. By turns thought-provoking and wildly entertaining, The Emperor’s New Clothes is a timely reminder that change begins with the people.”

Von Poe VII
FOREVER VILLAINOUS
Revolutionary Gothic Hip-Hop Album [2018]
“The man you hear above, is a reflective man, who’s able to look back and appreciate all the lessons learned throughout his twenties (a few more years for I enter them 30s). And what I find most compelling, is that this trilogy embodies my twenties. Not just on some “I made a project during these years”, but more along the lines of having created a bit of a audio diary that I can always look back on. I’m proud of that.
I was locked up in this room, this apartment, writing and recording. When I left, it was to see my granny and help my pops with her situation. So I appreciate everyone’s patience, and I appreciate the love and support y’all continue to give.
The final chapter to the three-part TPOLAW Trilogy, and the ending (and beginning) of a story half a decade in the making. Since 2012, back when I first began recording The Purity of Love and War, my story has been something that I’ve enjoyed sharing through my music very much. So much has happened, and had happened throughout the years, and to have lived long enough to share that journey with you all has been a beautiful blessing. I’ve had my ups and downs like any artist I’m sure, but to be here in this position is something I’m very grateful for. Take a second to enjoy the sounds, read over the lyrics, and make sure to be on the lookout for the visuals that are to come with this project (and the others as well). I’ve enjoyed this journey so much, and I look forward to the next chapters. Forever Villainous.”

David Graeber
DEBT:
The First 5,000 YearsAnthropological Economic History Book [2012]
❝ Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.
Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it. ❞
