The world has changed more than we recognize.
The conjunction of pervasive surveillance, platform capitalism,
and artificial intelligence have pushed the entire world into a sort of ‘post-real’ era.
Transcending the digital landscape, overtone chanting, tuning to the everywhen.
Resonating with nature, the direct experience of everything.
Dissolving the boundaries of spirit and matter, you and them.
Sing the songs of Eternity, to the heartbeat of the universe.
The dawn of digital media was filled with ideas that need to be rediscovered.
Why this moment matters. We are creating a blueprint together—a design for our collective future.
Arguing for human autonomy in the digital age with Douglas Rushkoff, Look at Black Mirror 'mushroom'
how to evolve the technology of the future. Dissolving the boundaries us and them, nature and technology and spirit and matter.
The possibilities for social, economic, practical, artistic, and even spiritual progress are tremendous. Just as words gave people the ability to pass on knowledge for what we now call civilization, networked activity could soon offer us access to shared thinking—an extension of consciousness still inconceivable to most of us today. The operating principles of commerce and culture—from supply and demand to command and control—could conceivably give way to an entirely more engaged, connected, and collaborative mode of participation.
The causal connection between all of this is the idea that both the evolution of the computer and the rediscovery of psychedelic drugs, has to do with consciousness expansion. We are expanding the exploration of our own wetware.
