The Bridge Generation This resonates so powerfully. It is imperfect precisely because it is using contemporary money driven understanding and methods, to convey the truth it speaks. In my heart and every essence of my being, it is my truth outersite.org/the-bridge-gen…

WW3 isn't a rupture — it's the same structure, doing what it's always done. We talk about withdrawing energy and consent from institutionalised hierarchy, enclosure and money, at Global Vision 2000's emergency webinar on the Greater Middle East. outersite.org/ww3-the-greate…

Two articles, arrived this week from opposite directions and landed in the same place. What emerges is a Bifurcation... not AI users versus refuseniks, but those who govern themselves before the machine and those who borrow their judgement from it. outersite.org/the-bifurcatio…

When the Map Became the Territory Quantum Physics, Institutional Mystification, and the Reality Beneath the Equations Who benefits from a physics that renders reality fundamentally unknowable, and from the fears — nuclear, quantum, AI — that flow from it?

The Man Who Fixed Things A girl arrives at a farm with her mother. She helps fix chicken coops, harvest mushrooms, scrub a decking, feed sheep. She meets a man who fixes things — and asks the questions children ask, without knowing their weight. outersite.org/the-man-who-fi…

Relation Precedes State If time is not a linear sequence but a relational field, quantum uncertainty dissolves once you recognise that relation precedes state. Thus, one of the standing objections to direct value handling disappears. outersite.org/relation-prece…

I've been using AI in my writing for over a year. The unexpected result: not alienation from the natural world, but a deeper rootedness in it. Washing dishes for strangers, moving through laziness as methodology, and ending somewhere I didn't plan to go. outersite.org/the-inversion/

An Economy Without Money — published in The Light The money system is failing — most of us can feel it. While the old order strains & lurches, something else is already growing alongside it. The platforms we use every day have accidentally proved the case. outersite.org/an-economy-wit…

Replying to @VeysiCe
There's definitely a correlation between IQ and rational/emotional intelligence development (what the Foundation for @FCriticalThink covers nearly in total in their CT Development Stage Theory stages, what I would call a capacity and potential for efficiency vs quality and consistency). However, at a certain point, the higher the IQ, the less "normal" the person becomes, and much of that correlation can easily go out the window due to trauma, especially in childhood. US Mensa's special interest group (SIG), "Firehouse," is full of people who join because they feel like total outcasts, wanted to find similar minds, but still end up very dependent on cognitive self-defense mechanisms which results in massive amounts of pseudo-intellectualism as their main way of self-validating via intellect-signalling... and making them effectively "dumber" and more prone to mental illness inspired violence.

The stability "stablecoins" offer is borrowed — from the same banks, regulators, and political arrangements that make the existing system fragile. A digital wrapper around a failing system is still a failing system. What comes after money? outersite.org/borrowed-stabi…
