Anders Bolling has shown us what journalism also could be: an honest effort to give a comprehensive picture of the world… Bolling has systematically and independently countered the mainstream news dramaturgy by complementing its daily alarms with facts about what is steadily improving.

Judges’ comments on the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences’ award for science minded journalism

Bolling is in a classical sense well-read, which endows him with a capacity to cover a wide range of topics. His ability to look for the relevant deviant voice or angle is particularly salient, which forces the reader or listener to see events from a different perspective than the prevailing one. This is certainly a laudable trait in today’s fast-spinning media landscape.

Karl Dalén, News Director, Dagens Nyheter

Anders Bolling is a skilled writer with a deep understanding of complex development issues, but even more notable is his ability to look beyond the immediate and tell stories of possibilities and highlighting human perspectives. As a moderator he is responsive and engaged.

Carolina Given-Sjölander, UNDP Communications Advisor for the Nordics

The Billion Boom:

This book will become a modern standard reference. I love the hopeful and realistic scenarios. The chapters on migration and its causes are indispensable.

Martin Schibbye, founder and publisher, Blank Spot Project

It is exciting and elegant to see the whole picture through the prism of demography. This book ought to inspire and to provoke debate.

Jan Eliasson, former deputy Secretary General of the United Nations

The Cozy Darkness of the Apocalypse:

Bolling offers a counter image to the common pessimism of the media. It is an approachable and efficient text which shimmers of contagious hope and enthusiasm.

Sundsvalls Tidning

This book is an honorable attempt of fouling one’s own nest. Its strength lies in the general media criticism.

Svenska Dagbladet

The odd thing is that so many people get so upset by the fact that the world is getting better. Many readers, conservatives and socialists alike, will squirm when they press ahead through Bolling’s relentless waves of good news. These waves shatter their predetermined worlds.

136. The Earth Wants to Speak with Us – Sten Linnander
Sten Linnander had a deeply transforming experience: The Earth made contact. As he heard a voice, he could see the planet in all her beauty, as if from space.
“The main message is that she is alive and conscious.”
If we establish an intimate, conscious connection with our planet, the possibilities are limitless, Earth has explained. We will be able to improve energy, food, health, relations, everything.
“I thought, if this is true, I just can’t say ‘this is not for me’. This is so incredibly big, it’s high time I do something”, says Sten.
He aims to build a device that will enable communication between the Earth and humanity as a whole and to produce small, affordable ‘living globes’ that display what the Earth looks like in real time.

135. God's Virtual Reality – Simon Duan
Many find the simulation hypothesis gloomy. But what if the physical world is a meaningful simulation that we all co-create to be able to grow and learn?
Simon Duan’s theory, “Platonic computation”, unifies consciousness, mind and matter. It explains how matter is derived from consciousness. Metaconsciousness, its highest aspect, is the ultimate reality. It is contentless but contains infinite potential. Plato had a term for it: the realm of forms.
In Simon Duan’s model, this physical universe is assumed to be a simulation, rendered by the “Platonic computer” in the realm of forms.
Ultimately, we create this simulation ourselves. But some of us are less aware than others of what is actually going on.
“We can choose to be NPCs, non-playable characters, or to be co-creators”, says Simon.

As far as research of the non-physical world is concerned, Simon Duan should have quite a bit of credibility. He began his career in a robustly materialist e...

AI becomes what we make of it (so take care when making)
A scientist and a writer/thinker credibly and thoughtfully describe what AI is and can become. They come to very different conclusions, but they both emphasize the importance of being careful and conscious when choosing our AI way forward.
