October 30th 2026 Subjugating power, refusing self-trust Subjugating power, refusing self-trust To surrender our authority of decision-making to another is a form of subjugation. There are certainly places we might do this. Seeing a Specialist doctor for a particular condition. Getting financial advice. However, relinquishing our decision-making lives in a context, and we might set the context to better maintain our agency. Learning to trust oneself is a life’s work. To attend to the place...

October 29th 2026 There Is a Way Through There Is a Way Through After weeks of rain, the sky is blue. Moods lift. Life seems shinier. It is a lot, this world, to take in. Too much violence, too much division, too much hate. I watched two young women spend at least twenty minutes capturing the perfect shot last week, and felt exhausted for them. I listened to the BBC interview four young Israelis about the election, and I felt despair. There is a rise in the global number of people with...

October 28th 2026 Necro-Economics Necro-economics I had never heard of the word necro-economics until today.

(The cruelty of banality: Necro-economics and global letting die – Joshua Ayer.) Even reading the description makes me feel sick. Disposable people. An elevated set from disposable...

October 27th 2026 The precession of persecution The precession of persecution Precession is the affect of bodies in motion on other bodies in motion, producing a side effect (precession) at 90 degrees to the motion. Drop a stone into a pond of water, and the ripples occur at ninety degrees. Intractable persecution of one group of people has a precessional effect. Including an entrenched story of victimhood. For example, intractable persecution of women, and women can carry the energy of...

October 26th 2026 The Intelligence the Machines Cannot Hold The Intelligence the Machines Cannot Hold I marvel at the scientific rationalists, those who spend their days focused on the measured. What can be measured? Everything dissected. Zeros and Ones. Reductionist. It is from this thinking that a technological singularity becomes the new god. A hypothetical future turning point where rapid, exponential advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and technology lead to machines surpassing...

October 23rd 2026 The new colonialism The new colonialism When data is stripped mined from human art, expression, and creativity. Knowledge systems vacuumed from indigenous wisdom. And certain categories become universal, while others are erased. Because the story must remain that the superior man is the superior man in all things. Accounting refuses to acknowledge the contributions of the many, to edify the contributions of the few – the superior man. Whether it is the publicly funded...

October 22nd 2026 Tethered. Without consent Tethered. Without consent Do not build a business on a social media platform. It can be hacked, taken over, or turned off at the owners’ whim. And just like that, you are no longer in business. Do not deploy private companies’ tech and AI in government systems. No matter how tight the contract is, the data is available to the private company, and the off switch is in their hands. They can weaponise the data to suit whatever mood they are in, or for...

October 21st 2026 The discipline of going to Source The discipline of going to Source As a lifetime apprentice of the work of Buckminster Fuller, I was taught to go to Source. The Source of a system, idea, philosophy, belief, geopolitical issue, word. Woven into the Source is the code animating the Source. The Pattern Integrity. ( https://syntropic.world/pattern-integrity-and-source-idea-as-sacred/)Those particular values and principles that are included in the Source. For example, the Source...
