A large part of our problem is that delusion is not just the default of being human, it is a mandatory state. Our only hope of solving out metacrisis begins with awareness of this inescapable fact.

I don’t know enough about the machinations of government to comment intelligently, so here is what I’ll say instead: If Schumer’s woman is the beautiful, but aging US of A, he seems to like watching her get fucked.

Such a profound insight here. The problem I see and don't know how to overcome is this: Anchoring can only take place in bed able to accept it. The presence of surviving evolved narrative memes poisons the ground for a truer, grounded view of our evolutionary place in a sea of energy gradients.

I am feeling an internal shift from looking at the news as an active participant caught in the chaos to looking at the news as an anthropologist trying to figure out what the fuck is happening. Feels healthier. Still gonna call my representatives. Still gonna protest.

This is a fantastic interview. If you’re the sort of person who wants to understand what the hell is going on, you should listen. Our governance structures are a function of our technological age. The question is how can we craft a governance system purposed on flourishing in the digital age?

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Dear Attorney General Bondi:
On February 10, 2025, I received a memorandum from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, directing me to dismiss the indictment against Mayor Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, which would require leave of court. I do not repeat here the evidence against Adams that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed federal crimes; Mr. Bove rightly has never called into question that the case team conducted this investigation with integrity and that the charges against Adams are serious and supported by fact and law. Mr. Bove's memo, however, which directs me to dismiss an indictment returned by a duly constituted grand jury for reasons having nothing to do with the strength of the case, raises serious concerns that render the contemplated dismissal inconsistent with my ability and duty to prosecute federal crimes without fear or favor and to advance good-faith arguments before the courts.
When I took my oath of office three weeks ago, I vowed to well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I was about to enter. In carrying out that responsibility, I am guided by, among other things, the Principles of Federal Prosecution set forth in the Justice Manual and your recent memoranda instructing attorneys for the Department of Justice to make only good-faith arguments and not to use the criminal enforcement authority of the United States to achieve political objectives or other improper aims. I am also guided by the values that have defined my over ten years of public service. You and I have yet to meet, let alone discuss this case. But as you may know, I clerked for the Honorable J. Harvie Wilkinson III on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and for Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. Both men instilled in me a sense of duty to contribute to the public good and uphold the rule of law, and a commitment to reasoned and thorough analysis. I have always considered it my o…

I am hopeful that what comes out of this is a new, more accurate perspective of what it means to be human—one node of processing in a vast, moving sea of information. There is no ego there, yet there is agency along with an acknowledgement that making the world better makes your world better.

Inner Development Goals global practitioner meeting today was very inspirational. We met and spoke about agency and how we can increase our sense of agency to make a difference in the world. Co-creation and Connectedness came up for me as the biggest skills to create systems change.

This is why the multi-lateral must also be mighty and able to wield both soft and hard power. It is sad, but there are many out there who willfully harm and take if it means they have more. We must be strong enough to deter or defeat them.

It has always been and will always be much easier to destroy than to build. Keep fighting, keep building. The work we do will be felt by our children’s children’s children, but not if we give up.

Perfection demands a perfectly static universe. But stasis is death and the universe is alive. Not only is perfection perfectly unattainable, it is murderous to growth, change, resilience. Harmony is, instead, what we should be striving for. Are the markets in harmony with humans, the planet?

A sick system also makes the people within it sick. Capitalism breeds disconnection and greed. Communism creates incentivized disinformation and its own flavor of disconnection. If we want health, we must build systems which create it.

A healthy system must be administered by healthy human beings. Much of our troubles stem from the fact that we are mostly, to one degree or another, psychologically unwell.

If we are a noun, we are a burst of DNA plus everything that has happened since the moment of our conception. But it is far more accurate to say we are a verb. A happening in the world which is also happening to us. A process, an unfolding.

It is a worthy life project to question each label. My hope is you do this and finally understand that you are nothing other than the witness of the unfolding of one miniscule corner of the universe. There is freedom there.
