Retrosuburbia is a fantastic book based on practical permaculture principles from David Holmgren, a co-originator of permaculture. It is an Australian classic and available online. Changed my life.

Today was the day I officially gave up on YouTube. The slop has become overwhelming. I realised that AI has been tasked with faking the actual voices of people I respect with content material unrelated to the voice and images. I can’t see how trust can be regained anytime soon. It’s the end of an era. Nostr saves the day

Hollywood stopped making films worth viewing long ago. It went from soulless to soul sapping and I was out. Could have been AI for the last decade for all I know. The human actors are pumped with plastic anyway, they seem to have lost their physical capacity to express nuanced expression and the intellect went with it. The plots are trash and the cultural programming stupidly obvious. I could get angsty about it or just enjoy the quiet open space this dead industry has left me to enjoy a cultural cleanse and reopen possibilities. I had to do a deep dive under the crashing wave and I’ve found myself back in the sunshine. I suddenly have this burning desire to dig out an old movie projector and shine it on a cave wall

I’m an Aust mental health practitioner. If you seek mainstream advice, you will be given 101 reasons why it’s all your fault and nothing to do with broken gov/systems/corruption/late stage capitalism. Maybe it’s a trauma story of avoidance/childhood messiness whatever, but if you want to live better, go hard on reading, learning, YouTube, podcasts. Start with Gabor Mate. Learn about addiction, neurobiology, behavioural repatterning. Do online courses on therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, family systems therapy, schema therapy, Intergenerational therapy. Do a guided psilocybin assisted therapy ( not just a trip). Get off on Jung for a while, go hard on complex PTSD ( if you have childhood stuff). Be your own therapist, but please, please, please don’t self diagnose- it’s a trap. If you still have issues, message me. Bitcoin accepted here 🧡

I listened to an amazing podcast recently that blew my mind with this perspective. Josh Schrei on The Emerald podcast compared the many Indian gods as being a vastly more contextual way of ‘doing’ mindfulness than our western clinical practices. They honour their ‘hungry gods’ with offerings to maintain balance. The neurobiological shifts that occur when we take physical action to change our emotional or thought patterns is key. This guy sums this up beautifully

My problems with Deutsche are his Zionist views on Palestine which follow the collapse being necessary for renewal process. I view progress not as progress for some, others being collateral damage, which is a process repeated often historically. Progress at this point feels like it is freedom to co-create. ‘Explanations’ can feel like the winners writing history. Explanations can hide motivations. Heartfelt reasons also hold validity, part of the beauty of being human. Deutsche needs a psilocybin trip or at least to read Iain McGilchrist in my humble opinion.

I have finally been around the sun enough times and studied neurobiology and intergenerational trauma integration and growth enough to have finally realised that all those rituals in other more traditional cultures about honouring the ancestors, yeah well, kinda makes good sense. So, to structure our thinking by reflecting on their experiences, to show some gratitude and to make sense of our own behavioural patterns by respecting theirs really works. That’s a complicated way of saying, dead or alive, you can just visit your grandparents and be curious about them and theirs

Reading an amazing book by Silvia Federici ‘Caliban and the Witch’, that looks at the shift from the feudal system to capitalism. The political motivations of removing the commons, whipping up terror and division through the torture and murder of thousands of women in the witch hunts, all occurred at the same time that the slave trade was being implemented. Turns out slavery and removing women from paid labour made some people rather wealthy

The miracle of the commons, where they could collaborate and provide for families, participate in traditions and rituals, where child rearing was a village activity, where women’s work in reproduction was respected. Capitalism focuses on ‘competition as the law of the jungle, but ignores that compromise is the law of civilisation’.

I believe that we will learn to understand, encourage and master the powers behind the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Currently left hemisphere dominance is societally favoured but with considerable negative consequences. Iain McGilchrist’s work in researching the differences between the hemispheres and the strengths and weaknesses of each is mind blowing. (Excuse the pun). I know which hemisphere is dominant in my brain and deliberately nurture and give space and attention to the contribution of the other. I figure I need every synaptic connection I can muster.

Same goes for mothers. They create humanity, and are the origin of every advance that sustains and improves human life.
The health of society is directly proportional to the respect of mothering and the dignity of the reproduction of human life. Without a collective respect for motherhood, humanity grinds to a halt.

I suspect AI is keeping Peter Thiel from stagnation. For the rest of us, I believe it is a tool for humanity and will bring creative vigour when we shake off the exhaustion of 50 years of slavery. Yes many are stuck, yes our future has been stolen, but predictably so. Bad nutrition, lifestyle, suppressed creativity, broken links to the planet we are part of, greed, withering controls and stolen attention will do that. But all of that can be shaken off with a good dose of self awareness, self-sovereignty and collective will. AI won’t help there.
All the needy tech toys, rocket ships, back to the future hoverboards, mind controls like religious fear, existential threats, us vs them sports teams, political teams, war teams, corporate teams, none of it addresses the need, the ache. Recenter, breathe, walk in the forest, surf, ski, cycle, dance, paint, write, grow food, make love, make babies, learn to have self critical thoughts that make you a better person, learn to have difficult conversations with people you love, learn how not to be a self obsessed arsehole, learn how to contribute. AI can be a helpful tool, but it can’t make new humans and it can’t stop us from being jerks.

We also already have dna collection through ancestry.com and the like which opens up intergenerational layers, for example, health info. An amazing book ‘The Invisible History of the Human Race’ by Christine Kenneally also talks about how owning the data also enables changing it. Just like every other tool humanity invents, it can be used for good or ill. I observe that those who are drawn to the procedural development of, for example dna collection banks, or data scraping, are typically so left hemisphere dominant in their thinking that they don’t/can’t imagine the breath and depth of potentiel risks, while simultaneously perceiving themselves to be more knowledgeable than anyone else. Iain McGilchrist does great work on this. So the task is not just to educate the normies to the risks of giving up data, but also to educate the clever developers/inventers to the potentiel risks their genius tools/weapons can be.
