summary - Annick de Witt takes the reader on a journey of discovery of that looks at the nuances of the complex set of entangled crisis we face today, by referring to the idea of worldviews - She shows how the quagmires now emerging are the result of interplay between three major worldviews, traditional, modern and post-modern and how each represents a partial truth that denies the partial truths held by the others - The article takes the example of Trumpism and the MAGA movement to illustrate, but the same analysis could be extended to the many different cultural worldviews found in different peoples around the globe - In particular, with Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, tensions between the traditional Islamic culture and the West's traditional, modern and post-modern segments of society are again on the rise - The insightful analysis culminates in the proposal for an integral worldview that includes all three but transcends each one - It may be useful to introduce Annick to Greg Henrique's Unified Theory of Knowledge (UToK), - https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ - Gregg works with John Vervaeke that Annick has cited - Regarding Bayo Akomolafe's short LinkedIn note on the word "worldview", I respect both Annick's detailed analysis as well as Bayo's interpretation and look forward to a comparative analylsis of these two perspectives around the word "worldview" - I am also in the middle of annotating Lisa E. Maroski's book, Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language, which is salient here as well
Indyweb dev - new Plexmark - analog affirmation slider - while reading the passage I was annotating, I realised that I was in agreement with a lot of what the author was articulating. However, I have no way to indicate this match because it would be too much - this gave rise to a new Plexmark: <br /> - Have an analog control slider for each sentence that indicates - agreement on one side and - disagreement on the other side as well as a - 'don't know' button. - This gives a running indication of resonance with your own salience landscape - This can then be used in conjunction with the Indranet - If there is an indication of strong agreement, then the reader may have strong motivation to investigate that author's mindplex, - especially if there is a strong salience mismatch between the author and the reader, indicating a possible learning event
Retrospective reflections - (See below) adjacency - sacred - relationship with - free - open source - what is your relationship with the sacred? - this is the same as asking - how do you feel in your time of solitude and aloneness? - do you feel deep connection and a sense of not being lonely while you are alone? - to be alienated if not to feel disconnected with others - as it is to be disconnected with the ceaseless sacred that continuously surrounds you, from birth to death
- I propose that the post-modern worldview should be renamed
- why?
- it is a name that is dependent on the second major worldview, modernism
- while the first two worldviews have autonomous names, the third, postmodernism is not autonomous but depends on the second
- the word integral is a good candidate to replace it
-
it means integration of both traditional and modern
-
two central ideas of Deep Humanity praxis fit into these three worldview
- progress
- death awareness
- worldviews can be seen from a progress framed perspective
- progress is a movement from traditional to modern
- conservatism focuses on the traditional pole while
- liberalism focuses on the modern pole
- postmodernism is a universal, cultural retroactive reflection on the relationship between both
-
death awareness is a major focus on traditional knowledge systems but
- postmodernism can definitely benefit from integrating it to provide
- an integral, inclusive approach that deals effectively with
- the meaning crisis faced by a secular, modern perspective that has
- rejected traditional religions without replacing it with anything substantive

June 27, 2025 - modernism - objective reality - validation - example - personal experience - beeping electricity meter
- my wife woke me up in the morning and said that the electricity meter is beeping again.
- I couldn't hear it because my heating isn't as good as hers
- I trust her when she says this
- I walked out of the bedroom too go downstairs and turn it off and a soon as I got around the corner in the bedroom, I can hear the beeping sound
- The easiest explanation for these two different experiences is that the is an existent objective reality which each of us experienced differently ( Occam's Razor)
- the electricity meter was indeed beeping
- The post modern. explanation would likely revolve around quantum mechanics but if far from simple or obvious

This worldview also has to restore the enchantment, communality, and connection to the sacred that is ubiquitous in pre-modern and indigenous worldviews, yet is severed in the process of modernization

key insight - new worldview must restore enchantment, community and connection - This worldview also has to restore the - enchantment, - communality, and - connection - to the sacred that is - ubiquitous in pre-modern and indigenous worldviews, - yet is severed in the process of modernization — - resulting in the pervasive sense of - alienation and - meaninglessness - that characterize both modern and postmodern worldviews. - As research underscores, - a sense of - meaning, - inner purpose, and - community - are crucial for human well-being and cannot be replaced by high levels of economic prosperity.

when there’s no truth or value, it makes sense to opt for what is most gratifying in the moment or of greatest service to the self (or ego).
for - adjacency - postmodernism - post-truth - Buddhist problem of nilhism - emptiness
adjacency - postmodernism - post-truth - Buddhist problem of nilhism - emptiness - This is the warning that Buddhist teachers have warned about to their students, who have an incomplete "understanding" of emptiness - If nothing is solid or real, and there is no right or wrong, then the student can mistakenly fall into nilhism and do harm - If the concept of harm is construed as part of dualism but dualism is the illusion to be penetrated, then again there is the danger of falling into post-truth where nothing matters and anarchy reins. - In Buddhist philosophy, the concept of "appearance-emptiness" shows that there is still some reality, just not what we originally thought

while postmodernism thus represents a new awareness of how our paradigms construct our world, it appears markedly blind to its own worldview — its own postmodern metanarrative.

-
we used a very high level um uh commu communication that this build an I here and like any good intelligence it has a multiscale hierarchical control where it took care of all of the downstream molecular um details.

key insight - high level governance (consciousness) vs low level intelligence - This is a very important observation - It says that a multi-cellular being such as a human being can have consciousness that has agency for the entire organism and governs at that high level, and it must have this beyond just the cognition and intelligence at the lower cellular and subcellular level
-
We don't have real aliens to sort of practice our um uh our theories on, but this is as close as we're going to get for a while because

we have a system that um that we developed that you can go to this website and basically it will just very simply translate papers in neuroscience into developmental biology papers. It's very easy. You just swap a few words and and and everything carries over. There are deep deep symmetries between cognition and morphagenesis which um I think Alan Turing for example recognized

for - definition - intelligence - William James - The ability to reach the same goal by different means - adjacency - intelligence - goals
observation - by this definition, goals are intrinsic to life itself
-
if we had uh internal sensors that you could feel the way that you have other senses, your blood chemistry, for example
for - quote - umwelt - Micheal Levin - interscale cognitive communication
quote - umwelt - Michael Levin - if we had internal sensors that you could feel the way that you have other senses, - your blood chemistry, for example, - you would have no problem recognizing that your liver and your kidneys were this intelligent symbiont that lived with you and kept you alive all day by moving you through these spaces that that we now don't recognize.
observation - Levin notes the limitations of the human umwelt and a gedanken that if we had biologically evolved (or culturally evolve) other sensors, that could serve as the basis for inter-scale communication with cognitive systems within us at micro scales
question - is interscale cognitive communication possible? If so,j what would it look like? What's it like talking to a cell?
-
information is not only stored outside of the brain but it actually is imprinted onto the new brain tissue as it develops
for -example - information stored outside brain - Michael Levin - plenaria decapitation experiment
-
what unification uh allowed us to do with a uh a good theory of electromagnetism is to say that first of all all of these are actually uh examples of the same underlying phenomenon. So we were able to put them on one continuum
for - key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - key insight - organizing principle - organizes reality in new ways
key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - New scientific theories make us cognitively reorganize our experiences - What was thought of as separate in an older conceptual framing - suddenly become similiar with the new framing
-
philosophical perspectives can drive empirical advances that the philosophy actually really matters because the perspective you have makes certain things possible that were never done before.
for - adjacency - saliency of philosophy - to science - Michael Levin
observation - working scientists often ignore philosophy because the philosophical assumptions that guide their research are implicit
-
I will go through actual very uh very detailed examples of how it is that we can recognize and communicate with unconventional intelligences that operate in a different medium in a different uh scale of space and time and actually in a different problem space entirely than our own

what I try to do is is kind of like what happened to the notion of numbers where we started out with very obvious very natural kinds of things and then progressively expanded them to to weirder and weirder uh other um other other concepts along you know along that same along that same continuum.

IJ - don't have copper infrastructure to electrify everything - we can only building 144,000 homes in all of EU but UK alone wants to build 350,000 homes - service and management processes that built our cities are no longer viable - probably looking at 3 Deg C GMT - 5 deg C higher on land - 8 deg C higher in city - if food prices are too high, the social contract is broken - we are living in a bubble of the idea of the city that is outdated - geoBIOLOGICAL factors - how radical can we get? - incremental change is not enough - what is the radical re-imagination required? - AI - 1-on-1 with energy, cognitive inequality = energy inequality = AI inequality - How do we operate in a post-labor economy? - Human economy is radically different - Need to operate between the philosophy and the technical
HS - polycrisis - addressing it is challenging - people are talking about the positive outcome - EU countries coming together - I'm spokesperson for new architecture policy of Denmark - cultural, planning and housing minister all meeting - unprecedented - Using what we already have: - idling resources of empty buildings - Urban nature / biodiversity - More urban green - re-imagine the future EU city - energy transition - localized - Inclusiveness - Bloxhub advocates the Copenhagen model - On US side, 1/3 of our revenues are from US - public sector - real estate dev - 25% of US malls closing down - philanthropy - recently, due to Trump govt policies: - 5 projects closed due to DEI - climate action plans in jeopardy
MM - translating philosophy into technology as per IJ but also - translating morality into technology - New European Bauhaus High Level Round Table - 18 experts - value mapping - justice is high priority - Quote - Alan X - Unless ideas are massaged into reality, they evaporate - Ecosystem Living
discussion HS - Copenhagen is the most livable city in the world now - but will it be the most resilient? - We need to think extremely long term - but we are searching for a new model - The infrastructure-led approach is not going to be enough to deal with the social and political crisis - We at Gail are searching for a more problem or culture led approach
IJ - Walked past a beautiful piece of jewelry but behind that visible beauty is invisible violence - Copenhagen as most livable city, is backed by invisible high carbon intensity - Have to think about the systems in which our human system exist within - There's a shadow behind a wellbeing city - We need a new theory of abundance - Regenerative supply chains - required but are difficult - If we consider externalities, we have to multiply by 10x - The future is not just infrastructure but multiple portfolios - City must go from representation to participation - perspective shift - from austerity to abundance - Edo period of Japan was already a circular economy - Need to construct the new politics of abundance and abundance economy is based on intangibles
MM - joining together many small groups is important
? What's the next steps?
HS - THere is innovation capacity at a neighborhood level - We need to find ways to give agency to citizens - Locating intermediate organizations to lead the way
IJ - Look at the shadow, don't run away from it - Book - In praise of shadow
MM - cities give us a template to look into public commons - state owned on one side, corporate on the other - public commons

A 2023 piece from the New Republic

-
The Michelin Guide wasn't born in a restaurant. It was born in a garage. In 1900, the Michelin brothers, Edward and Andre, needed to sell tires in a country with fewer than 3,000 cars. So, they printed a travel booklet free of charge that listed gas stations, hotels, and restaurants.

summary - This documentary was very eye-opening - As a foodie, I've always viewed the Michelin start system as representing the best and most creative culinary ideas - It's shocking and disappointing to see how exploitative it is - This expose does tie together many feelings of cognitive dissonance I've seen surrounding it - For example, I saw the cartoon character pose a few times but I never made the connection that it was the same avatar as the Michelin tire's avatar - Then when I saw the history and the two brothers who started the Michelin tire company, it suddenly made sense - It is a pay-to-play, Euro-colonialist system that performs cultural appropriation
alternative to - Michelin Guide - This revelation is disheartening as it destroys a myth I have long lived with - It also raises an opportunity in the form of a question - ? - Can we create a global open-source guide that is based on authentic, unbiased culture?

for - spiritual Revolution - Substack - article - Can and should we expect a "spiritual" revolution any time soon?
summary - This article provides an insightful historical framework that helps us to understand the next potential major human value and cultural paradigm shift - It draws upon academic work of metamodern and metameme theory to analyze the last few hundred thousand years of human history into a number of metameme epochs - It employs the concept of hard and soft metamemes to show the alternating historical epochs - Understanding these historical alterations helps us to foresee the transition human civilization is currently moving through - While "economics" can generally be considered to be the value generation "hard" metameme system and spirituality and cultural worldviews are the "soft" metameme, the article explores whether we are in the midst of the next soft metameme transition - It opines that we are just at the beginning of it and that the major shift is yet to come

these people do have political and spiritual values, but they are not uniform but pluralist, these are not in fact, spiritual movements, or spirit-centric movements. They are in effect people attempting to reinvent how we produce value, in different ways, whether they are urban commoners, rural permaculturists, or neo-nomadic crypto nomads.

adjacency - between - new ways of creating and distributing value - not spiritual movements perse - examples - Indyweb - LCE - Deep Humanity - metacrisis / polycrisis singularity - adjacency relationship - Reflecting on a few of the major projects I'm working and collaborating on there is another permutation in which ideas that are considered "spiritual" are being integrated into the foundational design of technical production and distribution systems - The Indyweb web 3 / web 4 people-centered, interpersonal information ecosystem is founded on the Eastern principle of Shunyata (Emptiness), and its two pillars: - change and - intertwingledness - which in turn corelate to biology via: - evolution and - ecology - The Living Cities Earth (LCE) project is founded on integral theory framework - Deep Humanity emerged out of observation that the historic inability of spiritual and material integration, - what might be here called the hard and soft metamemes - may be leading us into a metacrisis / polycrisis singularity - and that their integration now may be what is required to stave off the worst impacts of the fast approaching metacrisis / polycrisis singularity - Observations of the social dynamics of many small commons-leaning groups I've been involved with shows me that the deep cultural conditioning of the previous hard and soft metameme systems are extremely difficult to uproot and the soft metameme conditioning ends up poisoning collaborations

First we have the emergence of a new way of production and governance, a new “hard” Coordination Engine
for - relationship - coordination engine - purification generator
-
coordination engine
for - definition - coordination engine - The coordination engine is - the underlying pattern of how people coordinate their actions with one another and - the material flows around them, through space and time. - It’s about the economy in a wide sense: about how human activities link up with one another. - An economy is basically a pattern of coordination of human agency over space and time.
-
Hunter-gathering preceded animism by hundreds of thousands of years
for - comparison - Hunter gatherer vs - animism

summary - Daniel is describing the condition known as a "progress trap",an unintended consequence of progress. - I provide a history of progress traps in my two Medium articles found in the annotation links above. - The idea of progress traps is a very important one, especially for modernity because it is a central and general organizing principle under which many disparate unintended consequences of progress can be subsumed. - As is common in paradigm shifts, it is only when a novel concept of sufficient generalization and relevance is introduced that numerous important problems that could not be explained sufficiently in an older model, can be explained more elegantly from a higher or deeper level perspective - Without recognizing a new category of "progress traps", the many different types of unintended consequences are treated in a fragmented and adhoc way.

This article explains how our current idea of progress is immature: it is developmentally incomplete. Progress, as we define it now, ignores or downplays the scale of its side effects.

consider to be polarities. Differentiation of the poles of a polarity into separateconcepts, then, would emerge after the underlying form of experience (thetraversing of terrain or the passage of time, or, simply, ongoingness of expe-rience of a cyclical nature) was noticed and exploited for some purpose, suchas safety or ease. For example, it is easier moving through the forest by day,and it is cooler moving through the desert at night. There was survival valuein distinguishing different aspects of unified experience.

Indeed, we learn to use language before we understandlanguage, as exemplified by a friend’s 2-year-old grandson who adeptly appliedwords he had heard his parents say and demanded that “someone change myfucking diaper!” We learn to understand language before we learn to questionlanguage. Rarely do we learn to question language itself.

Experience takes the lead but it is anexperience widened by speech. One can thereby identify a basic tension within thephenomenological treatment of language: on the one hand, phenomenology subordinates speechto experience; on the other, phenomenology identifies the reciprocity of speech and experience.Heidegger’s signature if enigmatic formula, “Language is the house of being,” expresses just thisreciprocity (Heidegger 1998a, 39

Experienceenriches language by rooting its structures in the robust structures of perceived things(perceiving the skin as sunburned fills out the meaning of “My skin is sunburned”)
for - key insight - language - induction leads to general categories - neonates experience reality as a continuous, unbroken stream of consciousness - To form objects required object permanence - which in turn requires us to impute general categories first, - which is constructed upon a process of induction - based on the raw material of particular, remembered gestaltic experiences - ideas ( and therefore words) are essentially constructed categories that allow us to unite entire series of remembered, gestaltic experiences of phenomenological reality - Consider the author's example of sunburned skin: - Suppose the is an infant for whom the word 'skin' does not have a meaning. - The infant may have experienced many separate pre-linguistic, gestaltic experiences involving his skin: - sunburned skin - itchy skin - skin scalded by hot water - skin that is cold - dirty skin from playing in the dirt - clean skin after waking the dirt off - cut skin from a knife cutting it accidentally in the kitchen - bandaged and healed skin - All of these gestaltic experiences, when accompanied by the appropriate vocalisations of the caretaker who is present that use the word 'skin' help the infant to construct the category meaning of the word 'skin' - Early language training is an induction-intensive process - Unless we learn how to construct abstract categories at a young age, we cannot become proficient abstract language users as adults - By abstract, I mean the category nature of word s and ideas, which give them their flexibility and modularity
