Eh, but the past lives in us and we may need help seeing it. If I’m uncomfortable by others pointing out things in my culture’s past, there’s an opportunity to look at it and understand why. I’m not responsible for my ancestors. I’m responsible for looking inside.
@annedraya
Thank you andrea. Right, that world was based on an illusion of infinite resources and growth imperative.
I think we live in a unique period of both/and.
It’s both possible to live sustainably and to have affordances of our current civilization.
Yes, local community is the way.

Before, the hero returned to a consensus social reality.
Now there is not such a thing.
Now it seems is a time of world building, finding a higher order consensus reality by finding people to build it with.
That is my sense of it.
My father is 83 and had a major cervical surgery last week. I flew so i could bring him to the hospital, be with him there, and stay with him while he recovers in a neck brace that limits his ability to care for himself.
My father lives alone. He values his independence and
I’ve been working on a thing since October.
I started with no skill making the thing.
I went through umpteen iterations of the thing.
The thing works.

You sexy bitch, your tweets are fire and are gently pulling humanity towards a more beautiful future by influencing a high agency network of people.
Keep banging.

So even though privileged, put herself in the crossfire to bring attention to the climate disaster.
What happened so that acts of nonviolent protest somehow became worthy of ridicule and slander?
Last week I had a really chill meet with

I’m feeling a bit of guilt for not making this a routine practice.. that of meeting amazing people and not calling out their particular flavor of wonderfulness.
So here’s to sharing gratitude for every meet.

We decided together that the best option now is that he move in with me in CA.
Intimacy isn’t a checkbox to be fulfilled and no amount of filtering out mates by preferential attributes will achieve intimacy.
Intimacy is a capacity.
It starts in us, as self intimacy is fertile ground for growing intimacy with others.

Yes and many have lived experiences of generational trauma as a result of colonialism.
Not positive the aim of the post but I think it’s about those in power’s role in healing that.
That’s a tough topic for those with power or privilege.
Best I can do is get right with my own.
So many beautiful, pro-social, high capacity folk on Twitter.
So many common interests, how to move from common interests to shared journeys and projects?
Squad formation?
Guild formation?
Tribe formation?
I’ve created a space for you.
Yes, you.
To meet people you would want to learn from, connect with, and co-create with.
My skills? *slaps head* this bad boy can fit so much fucking context in it, and help you connect yours with others.
my 2024 twitter wish is for more of my twitter folks (me included) to post about the things we (and our community) create and to share our skills with each other.
introspection-posting & advice-posting are cool, but I wish for action-posting, art-posting, creation-posting
Day 9
Wow. Too much caffeine makes me anxious in the evening and that makes me want to drink to take the edge off.
Also had some stressors come up so my mind spins on that as well.
Think I’ll go for a walk after dinner.

My latest personal experience with the phenomena Gurwinder describes was yesterday when I saw someone on Twitter using the word ‘animals’ when referring the Jan 6 insurrectionists.
My argument was that we cannot dehumanize others. It wasn’t received well.
Hey
@_StevenFan
, I want to say thank you.
You were among the first to accept a meet after my starting the cafe. I remember being uncertain how to talk about myself and what I wanted. I felt vulnerable.
I remember your curiosity and kindness. You suggested to play an inquiry

The rule of thumb ‘never attribute to malice what can be explained by ineptitude’ is increasingly true.

“That’s where you’re wrong bro. ‘Barbarian’ originated in ancient Greece, and it initially only referred to people who were from out of town or did not speak Greek…. Oh I see…”
You have a project.
It’s aligned to creating the world you want.
You want it to move.
Would you want a community of people with the same interests and provide/receive mutual support?
If so, then cool. Let’s make it together.

Pointing out absurdity is the comedian’s job.

consistently restated his role as comedian.
To your point, there’s a difference between bad faith and good faith comedy.
I found Jon to consistently come from a place of good faith.

My family is a group who can’t get to deeper intimacy owing to a lack of safety in dealing with conflict.
Avoidance seems to maintain calm and seems to prevent deep care.
I don’t often bother to express political stances but my view is that this presidential election is consequential.
Today I made a rare post on Facebook supporting for

and immediately got pushback from family.
I am choosing to cast my vote out of hope, not fear.

Right. Only one who is in a circumstance to grapple with it is able to make the decision for themselves.
The myriad particulars of individual circumstance allow one to reason about it.
As one who hasn’t been in such circumstances I cannot.
And will not condemn either.

I didn’t take away that Gurwinder was somehow radicalized.
Can you say more about that?
I took away that he found it difficult to publish facts that are both weaponizeable by ‘the right’ and are factual.
I’d be more specific but refrain from doing so for practical reasons.
Well it’s been a big month.
Arranging cross-country shipping.
Coordinating with my father what he most wants to bring. Pack n prep.
Sorting and off-loading all the rest.
Selling the car.
Arranging delivery when I’m still out of state.
All while building the cafe and preparing for

Hi VV and friends.
I host Vibe Cafe as a place to connect with others on our co-creative journeys.
My aim is to co-create affordances and conditions such that co-creation ‘just happens’ by default.
Prediction: As life becomes uncertain, people will find lifestyle intentional communities increasingly competitive to current municipal structures alone.

I’m seeing changes already.
Today I got some things I’ve been putting off for weeks.
I’m astonished at how fluidly I’m just doing stuff that I used to resist.

‘Humanity is dominated by narrative’ and self and collective narrative are malleable.
Yes, inner work helped me notice narratives and let go of some that felt constrictive.
Releasing stories left a vacuum into which flooded new stories. I felt overwhelmed. Wat do?
You need to be embodying the mythopoetic archetypes of socio-technical world building. You need to be conjuring esoteric narratives that transcend the boundaries of conventional reality. You need to be infusing your creations with the agentic essence of archetypal power. You need
You need to be facilitating nuanced introspective explorations. You need to be traversing interconnected systemic networks. You need to be cultivating multifaceted emotional harmonies. You need to be decoding enigmatic affective patterns. You need to be investigating concealed
It’s weird how calling it ‘AI’ can evoke an imagined intelligent entity.
It’s easy to forget what we actually encounter is probabilistically autogenerated media on internet servers.
There is no spoon.

what will your role be at the distributed, interconnected world of online communities and courses that help foster the next stages of collective human development?

My son was hit by a car when he was 5, not life threatening, but he had a laceration, broken bone, and was in light shock.
Decomposing my experience helped me to remain calm, see the broader context and to choose to show up for him the way I wanted while helping him.

How many hours operating time? 4?12?
Ammunition capacity?
Local gas powered recharge stations? Solar?
Fully autonomous or human supported?
Forward deployed or gradual advancement with strong logistical support?
Other military ops considerations i also know nothing about?
so words you speak are literally actions. and they often take place in a very high dimensional space and create even more actions in more concrete spaces
i think it'd be interesting to find a specific moment when spoken words had bigger outcomes than standard "action" - on all
