I’ve been following you on and off for a while now, and I’m always impressed. It’s only on and off cause there is way too much to follow these days, and we haven’t actually spoken yet. The pregnancy, the house, the weekly art jams (been thinking about doing something in the physical like this for a while now).

I don’t really see technology or even the algorithms as a bad thing, I just don’t like how much power we’ve given them over our lives and I’m trying to reorient myself more on the physical as well as in intentional online communities these days (so I will join the art jam whenever I can, putting it on my calendar since I’m trying to use one of those these days)

I spent about 3 years trying to live using only the concept of a gift economy. I would use money but only earned through Free-pricing and only $200 usd a month in a city that usually costs people $2000 a month. I got very tired of the living conditions so I went back into society a bit while trying to fix my whole foundation.

It’s funny. Now I’m not really in society but I’m not really out of it either. I kind of like it, able to live in both worlds, I feel free to enter the arenas of office workers and whatever people might consider “normies” and I can live in squats and eco villages. I like going back and forth although the ultimate goal is to liberate myself to a greater degree and I assume and hope (while trying to reserve expectations) that I will help others do the same in the process.

I am not sure what needs to crumble and what needs to transform, all I know is that change is inevitable and love begets love (beget! 😆 first time I used that word!) and the deeper I dig into myself the more I learn about the world, so I keep digging 🔥
