view“Brother”
May you feel the steadiness you offer others reflected back to you.
May your quiet strength be recognized,
not only by those who need it,
but by those who cherish it.
May you find rest in your own heart,
knowing you are loved;
not for what you do,
but for who you are when nothing needs to be done.
May our friendship remain a soft place to land,
where you are never too much,
and never not enough.
And may you always remember:
I see you.
I value you.
And I walk beside you, in this life and beyond,
with light and truth and care.
view-AGAINST TECHNOFASCISM-
Collapse the system. Every day. In every way.
Buy less. Buy local. Starve the corporations that exploit us.
Delete social media. Disrupt their algorithms.
Manipulate data. Make noise. Make it louder.
Be unpredictable. Be relentless. Be ungovernable.
When the system falls, will you break free and choose a new reality? Or will you cling to the ruling elite, the same group that has enslaved humanity for millennia? Do not fear. Kings have been decapitated for less.
Burn the system.
This is not the end. This is the beginning.

viewEvery morning, I awoke with hope,
To find you in the spaces we shared:
Your room, the attic, the forest behind our house,
The terrace, within your wardrobe, amidst the smell of your clothes.
Even now, I continue my search
Of you in the faces of others,
Seeking glimpses of you in everyone I meet.

Quote from a chat with ChatGPT-4o
viewIn recent weeks, my mind has been preoccupied with the racial tensions unfolding in England, leaving me with a persistent sense of hitting a dead end. I refuse to accept that humanity is destined to repeat its mistakes—endless cycles of power abuse. Fascism feels more present now than it did in my youth. Inequality strips people momentarily of their moral compass, reducing life to a matter of survival. It’s far too easy to blame individuals rather than the governing bodies at fault because fighting against these powers feels almost hopeless. We are often left powerless against political regimes that dictate how we live, how much we earn, and how many hours we work. The more I dwelled on it, the more hopeless I felt. But in that hopelessness, I found resolve—giving up is not an option. It struck me that AI might not do a worse job than we have. Even without human emotions and values, it might fare better than the councils that have governed us for millennia.
It occurred to me that now is the time to reflect on how we want to live in the future. We must consider how to use technological tools to benefit us, to help us progress, and to bring us together—we need unity, not division.
I've always aligned myself with anarchism, but I no longer find the answers to my questions there. It all feels outdated. While anarchism and direct democracy have their merits, it's time to think outside the box. We need something new.
I once read a manifesto called “Upwingers.” While I didn't agree with everything in it, one idea resonated with me: the path forward is neither left nor right- it is Up. We cannot continue to follow the same patterns of the past because our planet simply cannot sustain them any longer. The political structure is too corrupt, driven by the pursuit of power and wealth. Even within an anarchistic society, these patterns would likely repeat. The answer is no longer left or right but forward. Unity is the evolution of consciousness. If we remain stuck in the same discourse, any progress we make will be undermined by repeated setbacks. After every revolution, there is hope, but that hope fades when the struggle for basic necessities continues to go unmet. We can no longer afford this endless cycle, especially as Earth's resources deplete and climate catastrophes threaten us all.
We cannot achieve spiritual fulfillment while facing the reality of inequality, poverty, slavery, and division. We are spiritual beings, capable of distinguishing good from bad even in the midst of struggle. We cannot stay silent as others suffer because our moral compass always points us toward what is right. Unity is the only way to progress.
