The problem isn’t that people refuse to act. The problem is that most are stuck in paralysis: “What do I do?” If the only options they see are worshipping the #deathcult or reinventing the wheel, passivity looks like the safest choice.

The design challenge of the #OMN isn’t just tech - pipes, tanks, metadata - it’s rituals and rhythms that invite participation. We need a seed affinity group whose job is simple: set the shovel down in front of people.

Don’t only complain that […]

The story of the 1990s in #Russia is not just a local tragedy. It is the cornerstone of the modern #deathcult order. December 25th, 1991. The Soviet flag lowered for the last time. The West declared victory. The Cold War was over. “Democracy” had won.

But for millions of Russians, that night was not liberation. It was the start of collapse. The USSR’s vertical system had provided stability: guaranteed jobs, cheap housing, free healthcare. When it fell, all of it was ripped away in the […]

The Open Media Network (#OMN) is an “anything in, anything out” network powered by a mediated trust system. Instead of one corporation or #NGO controlling the flow, the commernerty decides what happens to the data that moves through it. At its core, the #OMN is a data soup: tagged data objects flowing through channels. These flows are shaped by trust. You consume and share based on your trust relationships, not on algorithms designed to manipulate you.

Key features are built-in, not […]

The right-wing feeds on division.The left-wing grows from trust.

This simple #KISS truth is buried under decades of shit.

Stalinism’s dead weight.Postmodernism’s cynical fog.Neoliberalism’s greed-choked rot.All piled onto our social soil.

Now we stand in the stink:social, technological, political, philosophical mess.

We don’t deny it.We compost it.We turn the pile, let it breathe,make decay into fertile ground.

From this soil, we grow a humane culture.Trust. Commons. Care.A path […]

This is too often the normal issue of spiritual consumerism, that meany Western Buddhists treat Buddhism as a lifestyle brand, meditation apps, yoga retreats, mindfulness at work. It gets packaged and sold as “wellness,” stripped of its history, politics, and social context. It’s self-care as consumption, not transformation.

This is the normal pushing of individualism over community. Where, traditional Buddhism is about Sangha (community). Westerners, raised on #stupidindividualism, […]

The intended consequence of that EU budget framing is to sound like “law, rights, stability” - but the (un)intended (and very real) consequence is to strangle the roots of protest, dissent, and grassroots organising we need to move way from the current mess. Here’s why it’s a problem for protest, which is the foundation of any meaningful liberal democracy path:

Rule of law vs. rule of order: These budget “safeguards” don’t distinguish between authoritarian crackdowns and […]

They call it communication, but it’s not dialogue, not listening, not truth. It’s hallucination: Smiling faces repeating empty words. Buzzwords to cover the rot. Smoke and mirrors to keep power safe in its head down worship.

This is the work of the #fashionistas of our spaces. They parade their new “frameworks,” their shiny “initiatives,” their endless “community guidelines.” Always dressed up, always polished, always empty. They are masters of looking good while doing […]
