What follows is what kicked me out from the bed, at 2:39 am, wanting to be written up. It was triggered by this tweet:
Much of Web3 is techno-solutionist: using code and external incentives to change behavior. Who in Web3 is the most interested by the internal: adult development…

All masterplans failed me. Fortunately, and unavoidably. When I was a pre-teen, my mom’s master plan for me was that I should become a doctor or a lawyer. …
Yesterday afternoon, I started a 1-person Liberation Front. The liberation is from the oppressive urgency of responding immediately to the multitude of towering tasks of connecting dots in a “collective wisdom” ecosystem. …
The more I tune in
with the miraculous intelligence
of the organs and cells of my body,
the more waves of awe and gratitude arise ~
gratitude to all the ancestors,
who have been cultivating it
since the Big Bang.

an expedition into our interconnectedness in a higher harmony.
To fulfill itself, the energy of the Myth
is seeking to marry the energy of the Method for collective awakening.
Change is happening. For better or worse. For better and worse.
Change is a fact of life. Trying to make it happen is futile or worse, given the unintended consequences of any linear, corrective action in a complex and volatile world.
I’m a recovering change-maker. Not only that, but I…
A reality show in which hundreds of people are dying in remote countries due to an unabated viral infection is no fun. Much less so when the virus has reached the town where I live.
Mesmerized, during the day, I am watching moving images of the quarantined people telling their…
