Observations on the human condition
Distributed, Autonomous, Codependent Self-Organisation (DACSO) is a natural practice within families and small groups. It reflects how humans sustained themselves for millennia before the introduction of money, which was adopted to scale activities, organise over distances, and interact with strangers. Core Virtues: Patience, Acceptance, and Forgiveness Successful manifestations of DACSO are underpinned by the virtues … Read more
Some years ago, before AI was commonplace as a term, I speculated: The co-creative learning methodology led us understand who rules, how and why? If “agnostic” AI were given free reign to explore who rules, how and why?, would it not arrive at the same conclusions? Michael Finesilver’s essay navigates this and associated questions comprehensively: … Read more
In co-creative research, analysis and development there is a power that is difficult to quantify or explain but many will have experienced this power when working collaboratively. Since ceasing to work on the Critical Thinking project, a few of us have been collaborating in other groups and between them, they’ve accelerated our comprehension and appreciation … Read more
A couple of days ago, I wrote about husbanding energy and resources, primarily by denying the structure access to them by not paying Council Tax, debt etc. and not engaging with the structure’s false narratives. We also need to co-create ways of living without focusing on or holding onto money. Giving to others what they … Read more
I wasn’t sure how to title this last article in the series. It is the summary, conclusion or afterword. If you’ve got this far, thank you for reading 🙂 I hope I have conveyed a sense of why I am here and why I’m committed to the work that I do. It is written with … Read more
The Invisible Universe project is concerned with polymathic exploration, as was Critical Thinking. What does that mean? In practice it means following “breadcrumbs” of information that appear, sometimes unexpectedly, to expand our horizons and understanding. These “breadcrumbs” often have little relationship to preoccupations at the time but somehow take us forward in unexpected ways into … Read more
In the Introduction, I described the Work as: to be one Beacon among many, vibrating with energy waves of expanding and resonating frequency, to help us navigate the tempestuous seas of human consciousness where many are dashed upon the rocks of reality. Critical Thinking and the projects with which I’m now involved are very much … Read more
In recent weeks, after a few years of trying to find people to engage with locally, I’ve stumbled upon a burgeoning network of truth seekers in North London. This network comprises a fast growing number of people and groups working to co-create resilient alternatives to the institutional hierarchy under which we live. They are the … Read more
In the face of tyranny, the forces ranged against us can appear overwhelming but we need to remember how much of what we see is put in front of us to create a psychological reaction. At tyranny’s core is the means to induce fear, thereby limiting people’s ability to think and act accordingly. In panic … Read more
Critical Thinking’s and subsequent analysis reveals that perceptions and structure lie at the root of the human tragedy. Both perceptions and structure are governed by the methodology of money. Consequently, so is everything else which is why all of our institutions, local, national and global serve money rather than human needs. Compartmentalisation is key to … Read more
My previous article focused on the notion of Divine money and money’s alignment or otherwise with Universal or God’s law. However, many have attempted to sever themselves from this essential spiritual connection and consequently dismiss its relevance to them and the world around them. Today’s article is about the human context of money and its … Read more
