For the Grown Ups… At its core, my work is about understanding why history keeps repeating itself and how we can finally break the cycle. I’ve connected Internal Family Systems (IFS), Systems Theory, Jungian Shadow Work, and World History to show that societies, just like people, get stuck in patterns of trauma and dysfunction. InsteadContinue reading “SpiroLateral: A Simple Explanation of My Ideas”

How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism The problem described in the above image is a structural feature of capitalism: The wealthy profit from systemic harm and therefore have no incentive to change it.

Earth’s Rights: A Sentient System Deserving Protection
The idea that the planet should have rights isn’t just a philosophical debate—it’s a necessary step toward protecting the very systems that sustain life. If corporations, which are human-made legal entities, can have rights, then surely the Earth, which gives us air, water, food, and shelter, deserves at least the same level of legal protection.Continue reading “Earth’s Rights: A Sentient System Deserving Protection”

Are you a Globalist? (if you are reading this, you probably already are. Welcome, the world has been waiting for you.)
How This Version of Globalism Differs from Traditional Globalism Traditional globalism is often associated with economic globalization, where multinational corporations and international institutions (e.g., the UN, IMF, World Bank) promote free trade, open markets, and economic integration. This version is hierarchical, profit-driven, and controlled by elites, leading to corporate dominance, economic inequality, and environmental exploitation.Continue reading “Are you a Globalist?

The Gnostic Repair Model: A Restorative Alternative to Classical Gnosis
The Gnostic Repair Model: A Restorative Alternative to Classical Gnosis Heaven is not a future destination – it is right here, waiting for us to build it together now.

Memes
Today I don’t have the energy to write down my thoughts, they are moving too quickly and there are too many of them. Here are some related memes instead:
the 100th monkey has woken up
When the 100th monkey wakes up, the paradigm shifts. The “Hundredth Monkey Effect” is a metaphor for the tipping point in collective consciousness—a moment when an idea, behavior, or realization reaches a critical mass and spreads instantaneously across a population. In this context, when the 100th monkey “wakes up,” it signifies that enough individuals haveContinue reading “the 100th monkey has woken up”

Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption In a world increasingly defined by political polarization, economic volatility, and social fragmentation, the question of how to create lasting stability is more urgent than ever. Traditional governance models—rooted in hierarchical control, coercion-based stability, and conflict suppression—have proven to be unsustainable in the longContinue reading “Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption”
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect
The social model of disability challenges the idea that disability is an inherent personal deficit. Instead, it argues that disability is created by society’s failure to accommodate diverse needs. This model contrasts with the medical model, which frames disability as an individual problem to be “fixed” or “treated.” Key Principles of the Social Model ofContinue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect”
