This is war. Do you have the courage to fight for your tribe, your people, your land? Do you have the moral courage to transcend tribal instincts and choose a harder path?

As competition continues to expand we can only imagine what it will do to us. Competition isn't isolated to the savannah anymore even algorithms compete for our attention now. Humans are productive midwives of technological objects and we have given birth to a new breed that is becoming more and more divisive and exposing our vulnerabilities and our true nature. #bitcoin #ai #permissionless #innovation #tech #disruptive #brodown

I hope I’m remembered for more than the color of my skin or the money I apparently had. Maybe it’s better if I’m not remembered at all.

It’s not about saving people, it’s about supporting them. Supporting them in doing what, deep down, they already know they should do. Help people the way you wish you were helped.

Permaculture stands for the promotion, protection, and perpetuation of all life.

The universe is knowable but favours secrecy. What secrets will you take to the grave? Who will you share the graveyard with?

Sex is an ancient ritual and a site where ancestors and descendants come together. It's both a dance and a conflict, but more and more we erect barriers, be they pharmacological or latex, or just going our own way and growing old with cats. Oh but the economic squeeze on household formation and the vampiric gerontocracy.

Outrage and ego-boosting validation are the twin levers that most reliably crank up online dwell time. Why does digital dwell time soar in the social media paddock while a physical dwelling becomes harder to obtain?

The engineer might try to free himself from the professional hatred and drama of politics but soon realises that if he's good enough at his job his decisions cease to be technical and very quickly become political. Welcome to the infrapolitical sphere.

We are always homeless. Now the trick is to stop running away. Technology has been becoming the mechanism of escape.

“More is different.” P. W. Anderson

The age of Dematerialisation can be understood as a sudden reaction to materialism’s brute facts of reality. Hyperconnectivity, rather than fostering community, deepens social division and superficiality. Hypermobility, rather than bringing genuine proximity, displaces us and leaves longing for a deeper belonging.

There aren’t many opportunities left to live honestly. Today authentic living feels increasingly out of reach. Mere survival requires complicity in systems of injustice - housing markets, exploitative supply chains, corporate roles. Perhaps real honesty now exists closest to the land, the village, and local accountability.

What should I download first, my old gmail account or a local copy of Wikipedia?

Guys, can we halt trading?

What on Earth are we giving birth to

Together, how can we cultivate the fine art of disagreeing well? With a commitment to truth and friendship, I see philosophy as the art of translating private insight into shared understanding through careful yet open-ended dialogue. We must be willing to risk ideas we hold dear, permitting transformation without reproach toward ourselves or others, and recognising truth as emerging from the cyclical, irregular, and cumulative interplay of conversation.

The clock is a strange technological object. The clock tells you what the time is but doesn’t tell you want time _is_. Time is not what clock ‘says it is’, time is knowing when it’s time to check the clock.

Democracy likewise is a state transition system at scale that attempts to keep approved participants below the threshold of violence. Nowhere does it say participants should be happy with the outcome. Only that they consent to lose.
