This is what der wiki calls a stub, or what I think of as a snippet. It is not to be fleshed out and finished off by further written expansion of the core article, however, but by cognition, internalization and apperception. Which is not to say that commentary isn't waranted and even solicited.

That said:

You are surrounded, out there, by all that, but it is out there. Distance is velocity times time, and velocity is limited to c, so out there, even so much as an angstrom is another time and another place. There is no place else you can be except where you are, Buckaroo, and no real future or past where you are, because elsewhen is also elsewhere. You are stuck in the here and now, so live there willingly and intentionally. Do so and they will no doubt call you crazy, but the math is on your side.

This herenow existence isn't perforce pure woo, being, seeking, communing with and appreciating That, or, more precisely, That which is That, nor even That which is That such that it is That. The you (which is you) still needs sustenance, for example. As do we all. Let us then pause in our appreciation of all suchness and suchwhat to consider other mundanities, such as financing this site. It is a proposition that has, I assure you, much merit.

YOU very likely have a philosophy of your own. You are free to state, explain, discuss, expound, advocate for, and argue about it, as long as you keep it civil. The site has no substantive authorized and approved philosophy, no dogma, no kings nor queens, and we need no condescending saviors to lead us from their banquet halls. Nope. The point and purpose of this place is the free and open exchange and interchange of ideas and information. The site dogma is free speech, and beyond trolling the membership, the only way you can get in trouble is to try to make it into an echo chamber by insisting that everybody adopt, agree with, conform to or acquiesce to some particular point of view. That, my friends, is something of great value, a value enhanced by its scarcity.

JtC put this place together and keeps it going for us. He even made it easy for us to help him keep it up and running, by providing an easy to use "donate" button in the upper left corner of the screen Beneath that is a link that says "donation info" which goes to: https://caucus99percent.com/about_donations . The link gets you to the following, except that the Pop Mail references are links:

Monetary Contributions to caucus99percent.com
This site is People Powered -- Of the 99, by the 99, for the 99!

Please help support further development and maintenance of this site by contributing whatever amount you wish to send. You can make a one-time contribution by clicking the gold "Donate" button in the sidebar, filling in the donation amount by clicking on the $0.00s and then click the "Donate with PayPal" button -OR- you can create a monthly recurring contribution by clicking on the $0.00s and then checking the box that states: "Make this a monthly donation". If you are tapped out right now, please feel no pressure to do so.

No PayPal account, no problem! Credit cards are also accepted, look for the credit card links on the payment page. No credit card information will be sent to the recipient, such as credit card numbers, so feel safe in sending your contribution. And the payment page is HTTPS so there is no worries about the security of the connection. If you need any help you can reach the admin by following the directions below.

------------------------------

Making contributions via USPS Mail: If you don't have a PayPal account or credit card, you can now send your contributions by the USPS mail.

For the mailing address:
1 - Contact me by typing in "JtC" (without the quotes) in the "To" field of our Private Messaging system and leave a message.

2 - Or contact me by using the "Contact Us" link in the header banner at the top of every page and leave me a message. Be sure to select "administrator" in the dropdown menu.

---------------------------------------

We also accept contributions via PopMoney. You can make one-time contributions or recurring monthly contributions. PopMoney utilizes direct bank-to-bank electronic transfers, so if you don't use PayPal or you don't want to send contributions via USPS mail, then this program will prove to be a safe, easy and viable option.

You'll need to open an account with PopMoney, after that all you'll need to transfer funds is the c99p email address. Contact the admin (JtC) for the email addy, or if you need help with PopMoney.

Thank you very much for your help in keeping c99p online!

It doesn't, and can't enumerate all of the reasons why you should donate, but I'll give you 3 -- 1) Your name and other information isn't sold to anybody or used for any marketing schemes. 2) There aren't any ads. 3) Without funding this place as we know it dies. That's the long and short of it, so, if it's feasible, I strongly suggest that you toss a few coins into the hat.

If that isn't enough, remember that JtC built this place from the ground up, in all respects, and runs and maintains it, keeping it going and keeping a watchful eye on it. His sole compensation for all of that is if we donate enough not only to pay the electricity and such, but to also allow him to buy the occasional loaf of bread and jug of wine, so give heartily. We all owe him a ton and more.

OK, now, back to philosophy. Perhaps physics won't do you, perhaps you hanker for something more spiritual. I have provided a brief sermon that you can listen to while performing whatever tasks you need to in order to contribute to the site.

Thank you.
