Should biodiversity be commercialized? What are the stakes in commercialization? What are the costs, and who pay for them?
Colombia is home to 10% of the world’s biodiversity, a resource that its stakeholders wish to leverage in the market. Such an option comes at a time when biotechnology had grown to such a level that can aid biodiversity in sustaining itself. More >

There seems to have been an abusive employment of universalistic yardsticks to measure scientific innovations across diverse countries. For instance, the preponderance on formalistic institutional developments have tended to favor Northern economies that have built universities and think-tanks across the centuries. More >

Arab societies have been very exclusionary as regards politics & governance. The post-colonial era had long commenced and celebrated nascent nation-states after World War II, yet Arab political societies remain relatively ‘closed societies’. More >

Deities have befuddled many a devotee across eons. Myths—folk narratives about gods & goddesses—have accumulated across the epochs after the end of the last Glacial Period, which, as studied by anthropologists and folklorists, render deities as a shared phenomenon cutting across all cultures. To be redundant a bit, deities are cross-cultural entities that comprise the cosmogonies of diverse ethnolinguistic groups. More >

‘Smoke stack’ industries have to a great extent factored into the climate change patterns, with dire consequences of more erratic weather patterns that we experience today. ‘Smoke stack’ industries—those utilizing ‘hot process’ technologies—have for so long employed fossil fuels as energy sources, thus compounding the pollution arising from the manufacturing sector.

‘Food security’ as a theme has been reverberating the planet for over two (2) decades now. I still recall, upon my return to graduate school in 1997 to take up development studies (w/ global political economy foundation), that food security was already a wave in terms of advocacy clamors. More >

Theos Sophia or divine wisdom was very succinct in the identification and characterization of seven (7) planes in all. Planes are dimensions of reality (‘ontological domains’ in metaphysics), and the number 7 in the totality of dimensions was a galvanization of the Septenary Law as applied to the planes of reality.

Such developments are most welcome, given that the fossil fuel reserves of the planet are running out fast. Depletion could be experienced in just five (5) decades’ time. So far, the environment had already suffered miserably from the pollution by fossil fuels’ persistent utilization, while certain communities suffered from health and degradation hazards posed by the said energy sources.
