RE: Traditional Activism is a Failure
I like the idea of swarm formations, and inquiring into what a wise and healthy swarm would look like. Your idea of a knowledge workers union is super promising to me. In the chapter I wrote for Project

RE: Hollow Urban Centers
WOW. Super disturbing. Replacing actual products with pictures of products on store shelves? Holy shit. Another dystopian consideration is that more money gets fueled into law enforcement systems, yet

RE: The Social Dimension of Trauma
Powerful read. I love what Gabor Mate says about how trauma remains unprocessed in isolation and loneliness. As long as people are lonely, isolated, and disconnected from their bodies, those shaping our

RE: The Mass Shooting that Never Happened
This is something I've written about before, along with the mysteriously common involvement of government with mass shooters. This seems to be the key line for me. Government motives behind why attacks

RE: Be the Change You Want to See
Such powerful and thoughtful words! From my perspective, the control regime's theft of our individual power in recent decades is the most pressing problem we face. This reminds me of Harriet Tubman's words:

RE: My Next Novel is Stalled
As the Irish saying goes, “Tús maith, leath na hOibre”... A good start is half the work! Best of discovery, trust, and ease as you create your novel from scratch. I'm cheering you on, and I can't wait

RE: From Covid to War
It truly feels so demoralizing to know that there's not much we can do in the face of this polycrisis. Yet what's even more tragic is that many people have succumbed to fear, anger, cynicism, and disengagement

RE: Troubling Developments in Israel
Horrific. And you're absolutely right that things will become more tragic and eventful. How do we even make sense of a constructive path forward?

RE: They Call it The Uprising
What a breath of fresh air to read this! Nuanced, real, and penetrates to the essence. It's interesting to think about what an appropriate uprising would actually look like. What would it involve?

RE: Disturbing Details of Hamas Attack
Thanks for the update on the Israel-Palestine situation, and for sharing your analysis of it. Here's what the Biden admin sadly has to say about all of this. Biden pledged full U.S. support, with aid already

I always love your speculation. Great idea with injecting public funds into independent media and inviting the rollout of communities to share ideas and differences with each other. I'm excited and worried

Great questions you're raising in this post. The deeper the media propaganda is, the deeper the pushback and delusions are. Something that came up for me is the contact theory news article we summarized,

RE: Considering Human Migration
Interesting and nuanced. What a joke that the U.S. has helped manufacture the horrors and violence in Latin America, which is prompting people to come to the U.S. The control regime doesn't give a shit
