The World Unites for a New Story.

Published

Progress has a new home.

Mobilized is transforming the event experience into a highly productive catalyst and social action network; an international destination for a world in transition.  Beginning the weekend of May 3-4, we’re opening the doors and minds of perception: to see our world as it is and what it can become.

We welcome media makers and earth-shakers, scientists and social entrepreneurs, investigative journalists and systems thinkers and doers to amplify and showcase how people in communities worldwide are restoring health and prosperity where they are now.

And then, catch us every Saturday for lively and informative conversations focused on healing our wounds from dysfunctional systems and leadership as we continually address and answer the question: How do we create the future when the world is upside down?

Promote your projects; amplify solutions

Media has the potential to transform the world–or at least, one part of the world.  But right now, media is in the hands of multinational corporations with their set agendas.  What if we the people, the artists and social entrepreneurs of the world created our own network on our own terms?

What if we focused on the stories that unite us, the stories that inspire and empower the genius found within us all?  Imagine what we can accomplish with our own network, outside of corporate and/or political control>

After the success of our recent television series and feature documentaries, we are now transforming into a new kind of network for a new kind of world.  A network owned and created by the public, a place for solidarity, to share our ideas into action, and amplify best practices for a truly ecologically sensible, healthier and more prosperous coexistence for all.

Celebrate diversity, empower your inner genius.

Discover a world of communities taking back their power.  Discover what you can do where you are now.  It’s free for all to take part, but not a free-for-all.

Perspective Shift through Scientific Upgrade

Howard Bloom unveils his latest book, “The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong.” 

Howard Bloom is a visionary thinker known for synthesizing science, philosophy, and culture—about his latest book “The Case of the Sexual Cosmos” presents a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of biology, cosmology, desire, and the fundamental forces of creation. His work reframes sexuality not as a mere biological function, but as a cosmic principle that shapes evolution, cooperation, innovation, and existence itself.


How can scientifically more accurate perception of life and the Cosmos can provide us with healthier and more prosperous lives in balance with the natural world:

Since science is the constant pursuit of truth, and as new discoveries and innovations are continually being made and discovered, how can a radical new perception bring us closer to our ultimate potential?

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong  is a book about why two of science’s most cherished assumptions are wrong and what sex has to do with it.  not to mention, what sex tells us about the universe.  and about your role in it.

It’s the story of greening a planet of disaster and strife.

It’s a tale of transformation. It’s the tale of the uplift of a toxic planet, a poison pill of stone. It’s the saga of how the first teaspoon of life and its children overcame 142 mass extinctions. It’s the story of the savagery of non-stop climate change. But it’s the story of more than a mere struggle for survival.

It’s the story of how life harnessed disaster. It’s the story of how life poisoned the atmosphere. Then how life invented a way to turn that poison into a power source: oxygen. It’s the story of how life wrenched, wounded, and ate its environment of stone to create something radically unnatural-nature.

And it’s the story of a battle for flamboyance, excess and splendor. It’s the story of a race for invention. A battle for self-upgrade. It’s the story of audacity. It’s the tale of how disrespectful macromolecules milked manna from Armageddon on this toxic ball of stone.

It’s the tale of how an upstart macromolecular team upped the GAL, the gross amount of life, the gross amount of living matter, on this planet. Not to mention the GAS. The gross amount of spirit. The gross amount of sentience. The gross amount of soul.

Presentation by Howard Bloom. 

Howard Bloom is a visionary thinker known for synthesizing science, philosophy, and culture— his latest book “The Case of the Sexual Cosmos” explores the intersection of biology, cosmology, desire, and the fundamental forces of creation. Bloom’s work reframes sexuality not as a mere biological function, but as a lens through which we can perceive evolution, cooperation, innovation, and existence itself in a radically new way.

Bloom says that a scientifically more accurate perception of life and the Cosmos can provide us with healthier and more prosperous lives in balance with the natural world.  A natural world that prizes being out of balance.

Since science is the constant pursuit of truth, and since  new discoveries and innovations are continually being made, how can a radical new perception bring us closer to our ultimate potential?

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong  is a book about why two of science’s most cherished assumptions are wrong and what sex has to do with it.  Not to mention, what sex tells us about the universe.  And about your role in it.  And mine.

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is  the story of greening a planet of disaster and strife.

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is  a tale of transformation. It’s the tale of the uplift of a toxic planet, a poison pill of stone. It’s the saga of how the first teaspoon of life and its children overcame 142 mass extinctions. It’s the story of the savagery of non-stop climate change. But it’s the story of more than a mere struggle for survival.

It’s a story of how the cosmos prizes materialism, consumerism, waste and vain display.  It’s the story of how life harnessed disaster. It’s the story of how life poisoned the atmosphere. Then how life invented a way to turn that poison into a power source: oxygen. It’s the story of how life wrenched, wounded, and ate its environment of stone to create something radically unnatural–nature.

And it’s the story of a battle for extravagance, excess and splendor. It’s the story of a race for innovation. A battle for self-upgrade. A story of  how nature and the universe within which nature lives radically reinvent themselves.

It’s a story of obstreperousness. It’s the tale of how disrespectful macromolecules milked manna from Armageddon on this toxic ball of stone.

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos  is the tale of how an upstart macromolecular team upped the GAL, the gross amount of life, the gross amount of living matter, on this planet. Not to mention the GAS. The gross amount of spirit. The gross amount of sentience. The gross amount of soul.

Presentation by Howard Bloom.

Channel 4 TV in the UK calls Howard Bloom the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st Century. And Gear Magazine calls him “the philosopher at the end of the universe.” Bloom is a visionary thinker known for synthesizing science, philosophy, and culture.  His latest book “The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong” presents a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of biology, cosmology, desire, and the fundamental forces of creation. Bloom’s work reframes sexuality not as a mere biological function, but as the clue to a cosmic principle, the clue to the cosmos’ flamboyance. Sex reveals the ultimate urge of nature: to produce supersized surprises. To generate material miracles.  So that the very cosmos can reinvent herself.

The cosmic focus on revolutionary invention reshapes the way we see evolution, cooperation, innovation, and existence itself.’

Howard Bloom has been called “the next Stephen Hawking” by Gear Magazine.  He is the author of eight books, including The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History and the new Einstein, Michael Jackson & Me: A Search for Soul in the Power Pits of Rock and Roll.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense threw a symposium on Bloom’s second book, Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century, and brought in representatives from the State Department, the Energy Department, DARPA, IBM, and MIT.

The eleventh president of India, Dr. A.P.J. Kalam called Bloom’s third book, The Genius of the Beast: A Radical Re-Vision of Capitalism, “a visionary creation.”  And the Sheikh who runs Dubai named a racehorse—the Beast–after that same book.

Bloom has published or lectured at scholarly conferences in twelve different fields, from quantum physics and cosmology to neuroscience, evolutionary biology, psychology, information science, governance, and aerospace.

His work has appeared in the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Wired, Knight Financial News Service, Cosmopolitan, The Village Voice, and the blog sites of Psychology Today and The Scientific American.  In a full-page article in Business Insider, SpaceX’s Elon Musk praised one of Bloom space projects, the Two Billion Dollar Moon Prize.

The Two Billion Dollar Moon Prize was also covered in Time, Newsweek, CBS, NBC, Fox News, and Politico. And Jeff Bezos tweeted a Bloom blog from the Scientific American calling for the establishment of a permanent transport infrastructure in space.

Now it’s easier to make more informed decisions

Published

Sarah Savory, systems thinker, regenerative land steward, and daughter of Allan Savory, offers a unique window into the emotional, ecological, and decision-making dimensions of holistic management. Her work bridges personal transformation, community-based land healing, and practical reframing of how we make decisions in complex systems—especially under stress and uncertainty.

Everything is connected. All of life is interconnected and interdependent.  Despite this time-tested wisdom, many of us wondered, why do we keep falling down the same trap door?  What is it about our decision-making process that keeps us on the same trajectory we’ve always gone?

What it the answers to our questions have been in how we’ve been hardwired?

The conversation between Sarah Savory and Mobilized’s Steven Jay brings us to the realization that the answer we’ve been seeking is in how we make our decisions—and a way to course correct.

Sarah Savory, In her own words.

I am the single mother of Luke (14) and Mika (11) and I am the youngest daughter of Zimbabwean ecologist Allan Savory. I was born, brought up and live in Zimbabwe…like my father, I grew up passionate about wildlife and I have dedicated my life to making a difference…as a result, the discoveries you will make in this book were born of a deep passion and love of the wildlife and the people of Africa. But this is for all wildlife and all people.

My goal is to share these critical new insights to inspire and empower people and show how we can all work together towards a better world. 

The discoveries Allan made were born of a deep passion and love of the wildlife and the people of Africa. But this is for all wildlife and all people. Everywhere.  

I teach these discoveries and wrote the workbook because I want to share knowledge and understanding of these incredibly exciting new management and ecological insights – these show how each of us can make decisions in a way that will have a consistently positive impact on the world around us.  

The first thing we have to understand is when and why our decisions began negatively impacting the health of our planet and how we can make a simple adjustment to ensure our decisions always reflect the incredible connections that make up our amazing world.
