Things in the world are connected much more deeply than we realize. Over the past year, I’ve been developing and writing and speaking about the urgency/opportunity of our awakening into active, intentional participation in the ecosystems that we inhabit, that comprise everything in the world. …

I continue to marvel at how powerful it was — in the context of the early co-presence explorations we did at ThoughtWorks, which I believe you experienced! — for everyone in the shared virtual space to have identical avatars, ie we all looked the same. We each had our own voices and our hand and head gestures were unique to our movements — and we found that looking the same removed visual differences as an area of focus, while also enabling us to feel present with each other in the space. It was profound.

“Symbiosis, solidarity and sisterhood” — Once again this midsummer night, I find myself dreaming of The Milk of Dreams — of this year’s Venice Biennale, that vanguard of global high culture-making — as a thrillingly resonant and deeply moving manifestation of human awakening.

How the language we use creates the reality we live in — As I’ve been sharing this vision, the transformative possibilities of seeing the world as fundamentally made of connected ecosystems, many of you have responded enthusiastically to the idea, the concept — and then asked what do I do with this, how can I take action to realize this vision? This…

Part of a series on The Ecosystem Paradigm — The business model of Humanity on Earth is unsustainable, in need of deep transformation. If we are going to survive our current technological and behavioral adolescence, we need innovation at the level of Humanity — a revolutionary shift of what Humanity is for humans. Our current business model — the…

Web3 as the instinctive pursuit of equilibrium — There is an awakening underway. It’s been underway for quite awhile — and it’s coming into much clearer view now. It’s actually a return, a revitalization of what’s been dormant. Seeing the world through the lens of this awakening is super useful for understanding the tectonic shift of which Web3…
