"Psychedelic Thinking and the
Dawn of Homo Cyber"
As the new millennium
dawns, we find ourselves confronted with ecological havoc
on a global scale. Each day it becomes more apparent that
our species can no longer continue over-populating and over-consuming
the limited resources of this planet. To change humanity’s
course requires more than a change of heart—it requires a
change in our thinking. In this presentation, Lawrence Hagerty
proposes the adoption of psychedelic thinking as the first
step in our evolution into a species of meta-humans.

More Thoughts About
The Spirit of the Internet
At the same time hundreds of
the best scientists in the world are raising their voices
to warn us about the potentially irreversible damage greenhouse
gasses are causing, the U.S. Government refuses to limit carbon
dioxide emissions or to comply with environmental treaties
already favored by many of the world’s governments. These
are indeed gray days for our biosphere. Building upon what
he wrote in The Spirit of the Internet, Hagerty presents
a credible case that there still is a way out of this ecological
blind alley, if only we all will play our part.

"The Healthcare Industry and
Cyberspace"
Questions about health are
among the most frequent inquiries made on Internet search
engines. It is not surprising, therefore, to discover the
healthcare industry deeply involved in moving a significant
part of their administrative operations to the Web. In this
informative presentation, Lawrence Hagerty describes some
of the technological advances that have begun to change the
face of healthcare delivery in the United States. In addition
to painting a picture of the future of e-health, he explains
several practical steps that healthcare providers can take
today to ensure they remain at the forefront of their industry,
as online services and information continue to gain favor
with the general public.

"The Healthcare Industry and Cyberspace"
was a keynote presentation given at the annual GTE Healthcare
User’s Conference in Tampa, Florida on February 29, 2000.
"Veterans, Freedom, and the Millennium"
In this address
to a reunion of Korean War Veterans, Lawrence Hagerty outlines
some of the ways in which our concepts of freedom have changed
over the past 50 years. In particular, he points out several
ways in which the virtually unrestricted flow of information
brought about by the Internet has changed our concepts of
free speech and privacy. Drawing on his background as an attorney,
Mr. Hagerty presents an overview of ways in which our Bill
of Rights has been weakened in recent years and what can be
done to reverse this trend.
