Time to Rediscover Ancient Skies

Autumn and winter are the perfect time to rediscover the night skies. It is also a way to connect with the past.

Our ancestors, not stuck in their homes at night staring at a loud, lit rectangle, spent a lot of time studying the heavens. So much so they built sophisticated calenders, marked alignments, and tracked time and planetary cycles with structures and monoliths.

They did it without computers, no alien intervention, and often minimal written language.

Constellations were a way to pass on stories and information – a type of “memory palace,” according to anthropologists. Some of those stories have been lost, but not all. Oral knowledge often spanned generations – now people struggle to remember a few things to buy at the store.

So step outside on clear nights. You only need your eyes – I’ll even allow a starmap app on your phone – and travel back in time.

Proper Human Health is Yours, If You Want it

People are tired of being sick. Never before in our history — our human history — have we had this level of chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and allergies. Add on top of those the problems of declining fertility and lifespans. I have been writing about the movement to return us to Proper Human Health, or as others have called it, the Proper Human Diet.

Still, many people, even doctors, are still locked in this endless cycle of misery of medication, physical decline, and refusal to address root causes. That we have convinced ourselves this is normal in only a few generations is mind-boggling and sad.

Here are a couple enlightening and important discussions on human health, and healthcare, to help you reclaim your health:


Dr. Nasha Winters speaks with Dr. Philip Ovadia on how surviving terminal cancer led her down a decades-long study on truly understanding cancer, and how we got so much wrong on this disease.


Artificial intelligence can be a powerful tool in medicine for research, breakthroughs, and efficiency. It can also exacerbate the problems in sick care – I mean healthcare – such as insurance deciding what is best for you, or dictating to the doctors what they are allowed to do.

Vanessa Wingårdh explores the problematic use of AI by healthcare providers. This is about making more money, not making you healthy. They know exactly what they are doing.


Is it a surprise science keeps confirming sunlight is good for us and necessary for our health? It shouldn’t be. Out ancestors innately knew this. We spend a lot of time and technology money relearning what was once known.

Check out this discussion on The Diary Of A CEO with Dr. Roger Seheult.


“We’ve destroyed the nutrient density of our entire food supply through industrial agriculture. The health of our soil is the very basis of our health. We cannot thrive until we rehabilitate the soil, the plants, and the animals. This isn’t hippie talk. This is hard science with staggering data.” – Mark Hyman, MD

Industrialized farming is one of the root causes of declining health. We can no longer afford to ignore where our food comes from, and how it is raised and processed.

Our Place in Time and History

For many people, remembering history from five years ago is a challenge. A few decades ago seems like eons, so people tend to ignore anything before their lifetime. It’s all ancient history.

Is it really that long ago?

I have previously discussed how we are all part of the continuity of civilization and a link the chain of history. Part of that concept is we know people who have lived decades before us, and they knew people from earlier eras, and so on since the beginning. Suddenly, the past doesn’t seem so distant through the connections we have, and from what has been passed down to us.

Neil Howe, writing in The Fourth Turning is Here, describes this as our personal history span, which can be double your natural life:

Most of us possess first-person personal contact, through our families, to an impressive span of historical time time…consider a Gen-X woman born in 1965…[and] the oldest person she personally got to know as a young child…Very likely, this was a…grandparent (or great-grandparent) born in the mid-1890s. Let’s then imagine how long this Xer will live. Suppose we project that she lies to a least age ninety (in 2055), when she gets to know a grandchild (or great-grandchild) who in turn could be expected to live to the year 2130.

Now let’s measure this total span of time—from the first moment in the life of the oldest person this Xer got to know personally as a child to the last moment in the life of the youngest person she will know personally before passing away…this stretch of years—let’s call it her personal history span—stretches from 1895 to 2130, or 235 years.

When you look at our lives like this, you can see the length of impact you can have, and your connections with a not-so distant past.

As Howe writes, “As we contemplate the full range of these experiences—in the lives of those who once cared for us and in the lives of those whom we will someday care for—we can’t help but look for structure, parallels, and lessons…[as] Ibn Khaldun observed at the very dawn of modernity: ‘The past resembles the future more than one drop of water resembles another.'”
