  1. Hello Solari members: Could anyone kindly recommend home schooling resources? In particular how to best meet the curriculum requirements for the State. Saw several websites which offer approved curriculums for a fee, not sure what to make of it. Any advice? Thank you.

    1. Andrezej,
      I homeschool six of my nine children (two older ones are in college; my first has graduated college already). For information on state laws, I would recommend checking the Homeschool Legal Defense Association website (also a great one to join; they defend you for the cost of your already-paid membership fee if any legal issues come up, including visits from the state’s child protective services in certain cases). Homeschooling is a mindset change more than anything. There are literally thousands of ways to meet any state requirements; the choice of curriculum (including self-made) comes down to what will work best for you and your child(ren). You are more than welcome to contact me directly, as I feel advice needs to be tailored to your specific situation (just as CAF says financial advice should be). Darlene at customer service is welcome to give out my email address to you.

    2. I don’t know much about home schooling, I’ve only taught for one year in public schools. But I would like to recommend a few good kid friendly videos 🙂

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs&t=336s (This is the best animated video I could find that explains how government actually works)

      I would also like to recommend the YouTube channel Vsauce. His older stuff is a-m-a-z-ing! I taught AG classes this year and the kids could not get enough. He answers the most amazing questions and the trivia is just fascinating.

      I teach ELA, and we have all the material (books, curriculum, etc.) provided… But my best guide that I would use to come up with the lessons was a book from 1950 called The Century Collegiate Handbook.

      If you like any of those let me know and I will be happy to send more things that were a hit with students and have valuable information 🙂 Good luck with the homeschooling! If I had kids I would do the same thing or private school. It’s a shame to say that given the field that I am in. I was a program director at a Camp for 3 years before going into teaching, and I think camps are a great resource for developing social skills, a love for nature, and a sense of community. I just have to throw that in there because I am a firm believer in summer camps!

        Would you be willing to go to Subscriber Input and start a threat on Homeschooling where you keep posting all this. GREAT STUFF and so important.

        1. Absolutely! I just posted a thread in the subscriber input section… If I get any positive feedback or questions I’d be happy to post more.

  2. Asking Catherine– perhaps it is my imagination, but, apart from the Paul-Faustus sparring on center stage, might there be a landslide of right-wing admissions to vaccination being suddenly publicized? It has a creepy “operation” feel to it, in my opinion. What’s yours?

    1. Something has been cranked up big time this week. A lot of people going kookoo.

      1. It suddenly seems like everyone is getting vaxxed on the right and admitting it. I’m sure this will be successful in raising the vaccination rate to some degree, as people are very influenced by others with whom they identify. My issue with it is more that they’re not taking it seriously as a danger, then that they’re giving in. People are generally weak and it’s to be expected.

      2. I was in a talking with a friend about someone elses health issues and vaccinations came up. I was lectured about the consequences of me not getting vaccinated were dire and another person she knew did not vaccinate and then got COVID and died. It was total mind control. I should not tell anyone if I did not comply. It is a dangerous world we live in if you do not agree.

      1. I’m starting to wonder if Antartica is not being purposely melted to get at whatever is underneath there. It also sounds like the more ice sheets that melt the more methane gets released thus continuing the cycle of ice sheets breaking up.

        It’s just my “high methane speculation” but it would make sense why the whole global warming business had to become a thing. If the ice sheets are melting and theres no global warming, people would definitely be asking more questions.

        I have no idea what is down there other than buttloads of natural resources. But if you take into account what Admiral Byrd said, and the Piri Riis map, and all of these old structures we have discovered that are 11,000 plus years old… It’s not too far fetched that an ancient civilization could have existed there at one point.

        “The Arctic ice sheets and permafrost, which are rapidly melting in some areas, contain massive amounts of methane — a greenhouse gas that’s way worse than carbon dioxide. And, as the ice recedes and the permafrost melts, that methane is getting released into the atmosphere.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/22/first-active-leak-of-sea-bed-methane-discovered-in-antarctica

        1. It’s not out of line at all, William. Natural gas, which is mostly methane, has an octane rating of approximately 130, which beats any gasoline I know of.

    2. the inversion of values over the past 10-15 years is amazing.

      dubya bush-era neocons are now centrist Democrats and 2008 occupy wall street banksters are now environmental and medical saviors – not to mention champions for equality.

      no wonder the world doesn’t seem coherent.

  6. Zoom (advised by Goldman) is spending $14B of inflated stock to enter a post-pandemic business. Potential indicator that the WFH nightmare phase will be ending soon and corporate travel will be returning?
    https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/07/19/2264531/0/en/Zoom-to-Acquire-Five9.html
    “The acquisition is expected to help enhance Zoom’s presence with enterprise customers and allow it to accelerate its long-term growth opportunity by adding the $24 billion contact center market.”

    1. coincidence? One time an accident, two times a coincidence, but the third time is enemy action!

  7. Dear Solari presenters: In 2018 Nicanor Perlas wrote a book, “Humanities Last Stand” It is call for us to wake up to the threat of AI and ASI before it is too late. He did not have all the specific details but it does not really matter. He makes an argument that the technology does eventually take on a life of its own and that there are people who want to use these technologies to the detriment of humanity. This is confirmed in the medical nanobot videos. He also gives indications on how we need to move forward. He surfaces and then he disappears. I am just wondering if anyone from your community has been in contact with him and or read his materials.

    1. Thanks for the pointer to this Anthroposophy-oriented book.

      Still trying to obtain Paul Emberson’s English books on technology. Found a few articles on Anthro-Tech at https://newview.org.uk.
