Some thinkers build careers inside one discipline. Howard Bloom has spent his life ignoring those boundaries entirely. Author, scientific thinker, and former music-industry strategist, Bloom is known for connecting fields most people would never think to link—cosmology and pop culture, biology and human behavior, the evolution of the universe and the future of society. His work asks

Once upon a time the idea of a genie in Aladdin’s lamp was a fantasy. That genie was conjured in prose sometime before 1704 in the Arabian Nights. But it couldn’t be conjured in reality. Now with the advent of AI, that fantasy is about to come true. Yes, within less than a decade we may well have
Who the Hell Is Howard Bloom? Howard Bloom is one of those wildly eclectic thinkers who refuses to be pinned down — he’s part science theorist, part cultural provocateur, and part cosmic storyteller. Born in Buffalo in 1943, Bloom started off as a science-obsessed kid, digging into microbiology and cosmology long before most people could
This cosmos is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Among other things, it is replete with immaterial forces that have power over material things. Yes, immaterial forces. Forces you and I can’t see. What in the world do I mean? At the very birth of the universe in a Big Bang 13.7
Howard Bloom has never written “safe” books. He writes the kind that make people uncomfortable because they refuse to stay in their lane. Biology bleeds into politics. Physics crashes into psychology. Culture gets treated like a living organism instead of a polite abstraction. That through-line runs straight into the mission of the Howard Bloom Institute — and it’s
The Howard Bloom Institute isn’t built for soundbites, hot takes, or intellectual comfort. It exists for people who want to understand why the world behaves the way it does—not just what’s happening on the surface. Founded by Howard Bloom, the Institute operates as a home base for deep thinking about human behavior, evolution, power, belief systems, and the future of
On Monday December 8th the Oxford University Press Journal SLEEP Advances made a startling claim: that, as one headline put it, getting less than seven hours of sleep is linked to shorter life expectancy. In other words, get less than seven hours of sleep per night and you shorten your life. Which means that getting between
Early Wednesday morning, December 3rd, the AARP, the nation’s leading organization for those over the age of 55, released a report with a radically unexpected revelation. You would think that the loneliest Americans among us would be teenagers who are leaving their families, going off to college, and being forced to build an entirely new
The big question in astrophysics right now is whether our solar system has been penetrated by a giant spaceship. A spaceship from a distant solar system. And from a distant civilization. A spaceship that deliberately cruised past three separate planets, then hid behind the sun. Why swing behind the sun? Says Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, to release
Frankly, I was horrified by the coverage of Israel’s retaliatory strikes on October 29th. Horrified by the headlines claiming, “strikes kill more than 100 in Gaza.” And horrified by the mainstream media’s coverage of this entire Gaza war. The mainstream media has been hijacked by Hamas. Hijacked by Muslim movements that want to see Israel exterminated
This is not the same world it was on January 20, 2025. Things we are accustomed to are being yanked away. And things we were taught to believe are true are now being called false. Plus some of the things we’re being told are not true at all. The trend in governance is turning upside down. For 90 years,
In September, when Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, sat down for nearly an hour in a private session with Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky asked for American Tomahawk missiles. Then, two days ago, on October 6th, Trump told reporters that before making a decision he wanted to clarify exactly how the
In just two days, September 22nd and 23rd, President Donald Trump’s perception of the Russian war against Ukraine changed dramatically. After speaking at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, President Trump met Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and left with a whole new view of the Ukraine war. Remember February 28th, 2025, just seven months ago,
We are witnessing an attempt to destroy America’s constitutional democracy. Something has happened that is very useful to the constitution destroyers: the murder on September 15th in Utah of high profile MAGA promoter Charlie Kirk, leader of the movement Turning Point USA. Thanks to that murder, as Fox’s News’ Jesse Watters says, we seem to have reached
We may be closer to World War Three than we have been in 42 years. World wars happen when giant alliances face off against each other, with each nation pledged to come to the defense of the other. World War I happened when there were two giant alliances facing off against each other. Those alliances had
On September 11th, 2001, author Howard Bloom, the man Britain’s Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21st century, stood on the roof of his brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and watched as the World Trade Center burned. The experience left his gut churning with powerful emotions for which he had no
The Trump, Zelensky, and Putin relationship is in play and changing hour by hour. The President of the USA met with Vladimir Putin Friday, August 15th, in Alaska. President Trump went into a two and a half hour huddle with his “friend” Vladimir swearing that he would get a ceasefire, and that if no ceasefire was
Which is out of control, crime or Donald trump? It all depends on your point of view. At 3 a.m., Sunday, August 3, in the 1400 block of Swann Street NW, near Logan Circle in Washington, D.C., an upscale neighborhood, something awful happened. A tall, good-looking nineteen year old, a former staffer for Elon Musk’s
