GM! Sharing some Sharpie art pulled from the swirling mess of my mind. Can one of you amazing AI artists turn this digital?! #art #artstr #ink #color #gm #trippy

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny came to Yellow Barn today 🐇🍫🥚 me and my 6 year old egg-hunting partner absolutely crushed the hunt with 29 eggs collected. #dontmesswiththebest Wishing you all a spring filled with color and sweetness!

Social Soil has been the core concept guiding the social design at Yellow Barn. Observing land stewardship in regenerative agriculture informed much of this concept: even the most barren, compacted, dessicated land could be remediated into fertile soil. Regenerated soil is incredibly resilient. Relationships are the same: the need for deep roots of trust, processes for composting emotions, mycelial networks to move resource, fair and reciprocal exchanges of attention. Once established, they are able to withstand even the most brutal elements: Torrential storms of grief, wildfires of rage, gusty winds of change. Because we did the work to create layers and layers of healthy social soil. And once that layer is built, the seeds of ideas, hopes and dreams can truly flourish into life. Things like money become tools to move energy - the current-you-can-see of currency - and just as water in a garden, it can be mindfully allocated in the quantity, frequency, and location most needed at that time. It's always good to have your ponds to store water but once full, you don't need any more. It's better served downstream. Take only what you need. This is the essence what Indigenous wisedom teaches us with the Honorable Harvest. And if our technology and money can match that Ethos...well, then we're creating a whole new game.

It seems like the Fibonacci sequence gives indicators of graduating levels of coherent stability - stacking nodes in geometric form for structural integrity. With people, the variables are not only innumerable but also dynamically responsive (environment, situational, culural influences, social ties etc) that creating stability at increasing levels of geometric complexity is quite challenging. Hence the creation of rigid (most often hierarchical) organizational structures, contracts, laws, regulations etc - particularly as we have fragmented our micro-nodal communities into wide-spread low/no-trust societies. There IS a need for hierarchy - but it is not infinite vertical height. It's dynamic hierarchy that stretches horizontally and follows the 80/20 Pareto Principle. Leadership dynamically shifts to the most qualified person for that specific project/task, and instead of a comand-and-order model we shift to an advice-seeking model for optimal decision-making by the Lead in that domain. In our community ecosystem, we use nomenclature that points towards growth vs dominance - a Tree is a Lead (the "responsibiliteur" making the decisions within their Domain), the Core Team members are made up of Saplings, Sprouts and Seedlings, who are all learning how to take responsibility under the guidance and shelter of a Tree. People - and groups of people - are ecosystems. Trees can't function without the Saplings, Sprouts and Seedlings (and all the other flora, fauna and fungi). It is symbiotic and no one is consider "superior" or "inferior", they just have different roles and responsibilities. And this is the beginning of creating our Social Soil - the fertile foundation needed to allow humans, relationships, and communities to thrive.

Leadership is over-glorfied. A leader without a First Follower is just a lone nut dancing on top of a hill by themselves. You have probably seen this video. It's a great example of how any human ecosystem develops. And if you closely count the number of people as they are added, you might begin to see a familiar pattern.... 1...2....3....5....8.... The First Follower creates the first level of stability. A polarity to the Lone Nut so that a first level of equilibrium is even possible to be created. Only then can an ecosystem begin to create a gravitational pull to bring in your Third (another greatly important role), each new addition seeking and creating equilibrium to maintain stability. Ecosystems of people are quite fragile, at all levels. It takes tremendous work to be aware of our own pitfalls, fears, insecurities, etc to keep ourselves "in the vertical" (i.e in individual equilibrium) so that our personal and collective ecosystems don't collapse/invert. Who is your First Follower? Or are you a First Follower to a Lone Nut? To be continued...

Spent a lot of time analyzing how ecosystems of people form. If I were to hypthosize, I think that the "software" that is running in the current human operating system is still coded for trusted networks of 150. We started with clustered tribal communities of ~150, and in today's age, that number still stands for how many relationships we can realistically manage (trust diminishing as you spiral outward from the center). This doodle was the first iteration of working out how to organize an ecosystem of people. From a design standpoint, people were the focal point - any business, non-profit, personal or professional network. The goal: identify your Leads (1 per Domain), your Core Team (primary supporters to your Lead), Technicians (volunteers, contractors, etc), Advisors and Audience. Acknowledge that ecosystems have natural constraints (enough of the exponential growth BS). And your main constraints are how many relationships ONE Lead can truly manage without burning out (and still get their work done). Especially as an entrepreneur where the first Lead is typically in multiple (if not ALL domains), the potential for destabilization is very high. The most important person in an ecosystem? The First Follower. To be continued...

Spend it wisely

The Geometry of Nature Found all my old notes...things are about to get geometric over here folks. GN!

GM!!!! Best way to start the day: kitten snugs in a warm greenhouse. Meet Jack & Ollie (our "Jack O'Lantern" Halloween kitties) Reminder to go outside or pet an animal today! 💙

There is SO MUCH POTENTIAL for this freedomtech to solve so frustratingly simple problems in the agriculture world. A decentralized marketplace just so the consumer could SEE what products all your local farms are selling (instead of each farm having a crappy website), dock that in with the ability for gigs to offer delivery, batch orders for central pickups, and you've suddenly got a hub-and-spoke model that scales infinitely horizontally. Literally losing my mind out here seeing how easy a fix this could be IF ALL THE SOFTWARE OUT THERE DIDNT SUCK. #help #regenag #freedomtech #nextgen #bitcoin

GM!! As I walked outside this morning a a dove flew overhead and I watched this feather slowly fall to the ground right in front of me. Remember to get outside today ya nerds!!
