PLEASE NOTE: This list is just \u2018of interest\u2019. It does not mean I personally endorse or agree with the content of a listed article; in fact, some I certainly do not agree with. But these are all part and parcel of stories told by our species about our world. Some are published by the authors for \u2018educational\u2019 and\/or \u2018informational\u2019 purposes, some are for far more nefarious \u2018narrative management\u2019 ones\u2013you, the reader, can decide which is which. Keep in mind a relevant passage from a Bill Rees <\/span>paper<\/span><\/a>: \u201c<\/span>We begin with a reminder that humans are storytellers by nature. We socially construct complex sets of facts, beliefs, and values that guide how we operate in the world. Indeed, humans act out of their socially constructed narratives as if they were real. All political ideologies, religious doctrines, economic paradigms, cultural narratives\u2014even scientific theories\u2014are socially constructed \u201cstories\u201d that may or may not accurately reflect any aspect of reality they purport to represent. Once a particular construct has taken hold, its adherents are likely to treat it more seriously than opposing evidence from an alternate conceptual framework.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have arrived here and get something out of my writing, <\/span>please consider ordering the trilogy of my \u2018fictional\u2019 novel series, Olduvai (PDF files; only $9.99 Canadian)<\/b>, via my <\/span>website<\/span><\/a> or the link below \u2014 the \u2018profits\u2019 of which help me to keep my internet presence alive and first book available in print (and is available via various online retailers).<\/span><\/p>\n

Attempting a new payment system as I am contemplating shutting down my site in the future (given the ever-increasing costs to keep it running).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
