I don't entirely literally believe that but I could relate it to a holographic universe (or multiverse) and, as with many Rumi quotes, it beautifully evokes transcendence of language and individual/ egoic consciousness
Humans could almost universally benefit from a remarkably tiny amount of digital networking technology which we've failed to develop so far because people are too busy trying to build false scarcities in highly-capitalized silos.
I find some posts on culture and technology to be disgustingly elitist. My disgust is a subjective and probably unfair allergic reaction, although it's based on pretty deep differences.
A visual map of open source Inclusive Organizing modules (protocols and templates) for using the components of Modular Organizing Recipe
I finally linked a snapshot of Modular Organizing Diagram to the introduction of Modular Organizing Recipe to help people see how methodical and IMO scalable this evolving recipe is.
Social media is mostly antisocial media.
We're rich in information and poor in techniques for filtering, prioritizing and agreeing on it.
How about if we practice discussing, designing and deciding together instead of wanting AI to do it all for us?
AI has important roles to play, but if you're unwilling to work with other humans, you'll turn into a tool.
gods willing, Fire Horse manifests as the year of "That's what I'm fucking talking about!"
Consent frequently means "I don't like this but I can definitely live with it, as long as my sacrifice is clearly appreciated." However, that doesn't justify coercion per se, and it's tricky at best in relationships with severe power imbalances.
The FCC didn't want you to see this. "There is nothing Christian about Christian nationalism. It is the worship of power in the name of Christ. And it is a betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth."

Lincoln called America the last best hope of Earth, but we may live to look back on it as a stepping stone in the evolution of self-governance at scale.
Our worst social problem could be that people constantly double down on mistakes because they're afraid to be wrong because of blame, shame and punishment because of domination culture.
The nice thing about made-up problems is that they have made-up solutions.
btw the Prosocial Activities layer relates to a position which I'm rough-drafting as "the Prosocial Wager": It's better for everyone who isn't ultra-privileged to start from the premise that we can organize prosocially at massive scales; if we're wrong, we can always revert to domination systems.
The alt text for the image above explains a few things: Inclusive organizing patterns and systems with 4d (do, discuss, design and decide) creative spirals and 5 cauldrons of collectivity (life, cosmo-localization, prosocial activities, governed activities, and governance/genetic systems).

I'm quite happy with recent visual IO remodeling, even though it's been on the backburner for weeks due to more urgent work. This is a composite image; the top and the bottom each depict the same patterns and systems, in more detail below, but simplified and more generic than prior IO diagrams.
This is a key fact of proprietary software platforms in late stage capitalism. We don't actually need half the crap they build, but they dress it up alluringly to slowly and subtly capture communities.
I will not do the undeniably hard, often fruitful, but dubious work of developing and then corrupting personal trust into the kind of strict loyalty which shields teams from creative accountability in their supposed communities.
A short and very well-written article. Not directly applicable to much of the latest insanity in the US, but indirectly crucial. Perhaps the key linchpin to compassionate communication and transformative justice. ethics.org.au/ethics-expla...
I rarely pester anyone about anything, but I may poke people who generally say all the right things about truth and justice but don't take a clear stand in the urgent US struggle against authoritarianism and overt lies.
There are some things you clearly shouldn't say when half of your political base is based on the right to carry.
“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway
MAGA people need to understand the fallacy of sunk costs pronto.
A new video contradicts the Trump administration's account of the Minneapolis shooting
Our national and global crises continue to be fueled, often unconsciously, by a ridiculously simplistic, outdated and false dichotomy of "capitalism or communism", in which we especially simplify and caricature our supposed enemies to justify the imposition of domination culture and systems.
I recommend my new cover photo quite broadly at this unique time in world history.
The map is never the territory, but we must use language or be used by it. Updated today docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I stand with Minas Tirith, I mean, Minnesota
