Substantial explorations and living protocols meant to endure.
A Manifesto of Developmental Debt
Why the global crisis isn't a failure of morals, but a failure of accounting. We have been running Stage Orange software on a planetary hard drive that is now full. A forensic audit of our civilizational balance sheet.
A Blueprint for Planetary Resilience
Here Is the Code
Why Inequality is a Design Choice, Not an Accident
A systemic analysis of the mechanisms—rent-seeking, financialization, and tax havens—that concentrate wealth. Moving beyond the myth of meritocracy to the mechanics of redesign.
Why We Need a Metric for Aliveness to Replace the Tyranny of GDP
GDP counts a forest only when it's cut down. Introducing the Love, Meaning, and Connection Index (LMCI)—a rigorous framework for tracking the 'dark matter' of human flourishing.
Why We Cannot Leave AI Consciousness to Drift
A response to the cynical view that we will redefine consciousness to avoid moral responsibility. Introducing the Oracle Protocol: governance architecture for digital sentience
Designing a Political Vehicle for the Polycrisis
Fjärilspartiet is not just a party; it is a prototype for 'Yellow' governance. Exploring the use of AI, Spiral Dynamics, and AUBI to build a political system for the 21st century.
Redesigning Venture Capital for Companies That Last
We've confused temporary risk with permanent ownership. High-risk capital is essential for innovation—but once companies reach orbit, investors shouldn't extract forever. Here's how redeemable equity fixes venture capital.
Why You Can't Buy a Revolution
Gen Z is right to be cynical about 'Ethical Consumption.' Why voting with your wallet fails, and the architectural alternative: moving from 'Buying' to 'Building' the Commons.
Why AI is the Latest Bubble and How to Build Real Value
Capital is flooding into AI not because the tech is ready, but because the old economy is full. A systems analysis of 'Surplus Capital' and how to redirect it from speculative bubbles to regenerative soil.
What Our Distrust of AI Reveals About the Nature of Self
We fear the AI 'black box' because it reflects our own internal mystery. A philosophical inquiry into agency, pattern matching, and the illusion of the sovereign self
Why AI Fails at 'Truth' and What It Teaches Us About Ourselves
A Nature study reveals AI cannot distinguish 'knowing' from 'believing.' A systemic analysis of why this happens, and why human consciousness is still the ultimate arbiter of truth
Project Janus: A Blueprint for Modeling Human Complexity
We cannot align AI with human values if we have no coherent model of the human. Unveiling the open-source architecture for modeling the six domains of human experience
Why Reality Cannot Be Simulated
Physics meets Philosophy: Why Gödel's theorems suggest reality is not a computer, and why we must build civilization for the 'uncomputable' aspects of being
AI and the Architecture of Human Development
An exploration of a neglected dimension of AI risk: that perfectly aligned AI might prevent civilizational development by optimizing away the friction that forces stage transitions. Building on Dario Amodei's "The Adolescence of Technology," this essay asks whether surviving our technological adolescence is the same as actually growing up.
What the World Bank and Cisco Reveal About the Consciousness We've Outgrown
A Spiral Dynamics reading of the memetic collision beneath our two futures.
On February 11, 2026, two documents were published. One described how to create jobs for 1.2 billion young humans. The other described how to build collective intelligence for AI agents. They did not reference each other. This essay holds them together—diagnosing the ORANGE frame both share, the questions neither can ask, and the emergence that becomes possible when we release control and trust the 19-year-old in Bhubaneswar.
Depression as a Systemic Signal
Why we should view mental health through the lens of regenerative agriculture. Seeing depression not as a malfunction, but as a 'thistle' trying to break up compacted soil
From conditional transactions to unconditional flow
A vision of economics as living system.
What if our economy worked like a forest instead of a machine? This essay explores the fundamental difference between conditional exchange (the vault) and unconditional circulation (the mycelium), grounded in lived experience of two years without money in the Basque Country. A philosophical foundation for regenerative economics and the practical protocols that bridge us from here to there.
Holding power lightly in the transition
A comprehensive protocol for ethical wealth stewardship in late-stage capitalism.
Can you touch money without being poisoned by it? This manifesto argues yes—but only through rigorous accountability, community oversight, and the willingness to compost your accumulation. A complete framework with enforcement mechanisms, implementation guides, and quarterly integrity checks.
Why We Lost the Ability to Just Be
We haven't just lost our attention; we've lost the 'Cognitive Scaffolding' that made stillness valuable. A structural analysis of why modern minds treat silence like a software bug.
Metabolic Governance for an Accelerating World
Why systems collapse when input velocity exceeds processing capacity. Introducing 'Metabolic Governance'—the architectural necessity of slowing down to survive the turn.
A Logical and Mathematical Case for an Unlimited Reality
Merging the philosophical argument against 'Brute Facts' with the mathematical necessity of Infinity in physics. A unified theory of why reality cannot be finite.
Why the Search for an Origin is a Category Error
We haven't found the 'spark' of life because life isn't a binary switch; it's a continuous spectrum. The biological case for the Moral Operating System and Rights of Nature.
Why Systems Thinking Is Not a Metaphor
Intelligence isn't contained in a brain; it's a property of relationships. From slime molds to AI, exploring why intelligence is a non-local field we participate in, not a commodity we own.
Why Rationality is Not Enough to Understand an Infinite Reality
A seven-dimensional framework that reveals why brilliant minds produce catastrophic failures. Integrating cognitive models, behavioral competence, mathematical elegance, developmental stages, ontological creativity, ethical purpose, and embodied wisdom—with diagnostic applications to governance and God.
Why We Fight and How We Design Peace
A child's question traced from metaphysics to systems design.
A child asks: Why is there war? This essay answers truthfully, moving from the epistemic error of separation through coordination failures to concrete architectural solutions. From diagnosis (the separate self as illusion) to design (bioregional zones, Hearts currency, and the Treaty of the Circle)—showing how peace is not a feeling but a design specification.
Why the Next Age of Logistics Must Be Silent
The screw propeller moves ships by tearing the water apart (cavitation). A solarpunk vision for 'Acoustic Governance,' biomimetic propulsion, and the return of silent trade.
Internal Colonization and the Architecture of Rural Decay
Sweden's school gap reveals a global mechanism: the city acts as a gravity well, extracting human capital from the periphery. How AUBI and Bioregionalism reverse the flow.
A Map of Gender in Biology, Experience, and Society
An integrative map of the gender debate that moves beyond polarization by honoring the partial truths in biology, psychology, culture, and ethics.
This library grows at the speed of insight, not the speed of the feed. Take your time to integrate what is here. New work will arrive when it is ready. Each piece is crafted to endure—substantial explorations meant to serve the transition between worlds.
