“Value is the experience of an inherent rightness of quality in the cosmos that invites, and even demands, response.”
Marc Gafni.
(in conversation with Dr. Iain McGilchrist and Zak Stein).

If true, then the metacrisis is not simply a failure of policy, technology, or institutions.

It is a failure of the conditions that allow societies to perceive and respond to value itself.

Our systems increasingly optimise proxies such as profit, growth and influence, while becoming detached from the qualities of life that generate real value.

If we are serious about confronting the entropic trajectory of the metacrisis, our work must begin at the substrate level.

We must restore the ethical, epistemic, and relational conditions that allow societies to sense what is truly valuable, and coordinate accordingly.

A WAY FORWARD🔥

The most valuable creative breakthroughs in history—
from the Inklings to the Founding Fathers to Bell Labs—

didn’t come from isolated genius.

They emerged from relational fields:
sustained environments of trust, proximity, and shared curiosity.

We call these fields Dialects.

They can’t be optimized or manufactured.

But the conditions that produce them can be cultivated.

[Brock Human @Brockhuman]

THE PROBLEM 🧠⚠️

We extract creative value at industrial scale…

…while investing almost nothing into the conditions that produce it.

Creators have never had more powerful tools.

Yet the creative class is more isolated and uncertain than ever.

The rate of extraction is now exceeding our ability to regenerate.

This trajectory isn’t sustainable.

It’s self-terminating.

Seems like value reduces to energy and attention.

More than ever we could all use a functioning epistemology to navigate the deluge of information we face. To help, I've just released The Backpacker's Guide To Epistemology (🔗below).

a distillation of more than a decade of truth-seeking into a succinct framework that demystifies and makes useful ancient concepts like belief, knowledge, evidence, and truth — while introducing a few new ones to help navigate reality.

@ThouArtThat Nosara, yes!

Nafeez Ahmed:

* The Scenario for Regenerative Reorganisation

https://t.co/KrlAxBKOMe

"Now imagine another path. In this future, the starting point is not technology but commitment: an intentional civilisational decision to renew our relationship with the Earth. The recognition spreads that prosperity cannot be sustained by extracting and degrading, but by aligning human systems with planetary boundaries. Out of this ethos, new institutions and values emerge — stewardship, reciprocity, participation.

This cultural shift unlocks the potential of the very disruptions now underway. Solar and wind are not just deployed, they are supersized and coupled with storage, grids, and governance that treat clean electricity as a common good (Ahmed 2024, p.16). That surplus powers precision fermentation and cellular agriculture, making proteins at a fraction of today’s energy and water use, and in turn freeing land for regeneration (Ahmed 2024, p.19).

AI is designed for abundance only within limits: powered by firm renewable power, cooled through closed-loop water systems, and governed transparently to prevent monopoly and ensure public stakeholder ownership given AI has been trained on collective human intelligence. Rather than fuelling disinformation, this allows AI to be harnessed to balance grids, manage distributed transport fleets, optimise circular economies and enhance distributed knowledge.

In mining and materials, new governance models emerge. Communities participate in decision-making; circular economy protocols ensure that extraction is minimised and ecological restoration is prioritised. Ownership diversifies: energy cooperatives, public trusts, and commons-based systems distribute the benefits of abundance rather than concentrating them.

Crucially, these transformations do not unfold in isolation. They generate positive feedback loops: solar abundance makes PF/CA cheap and clean; PF/CA land release allows ecosystems to recover, stabilising climate; AI orchestrates energy and transport, increasing efficiency; regenerative governance builds resilience and public trust, which in turn accelerates adoption.

By the 2040s, the outlines of a new life-cycle are visible. This is not techno-utopia. It is turbulent, contested, and uneven. But it is also a civilisation re-anchored: producing more than enough energy, food, and mobility within planetary limits, while restoring ecosystems and deepening democracy. The story that emerges is not the end of modernity, but the birth of a planetary civilisation committed to renewal."

@IamJoyHuman @RealJohnHuman So it’s working then

[Brock Human @Brockhuman]

@IamJoyHuman And what’s Sept

@IamJoyHuman She’s back.

@joshwhiton Does ‘Personal’ Super Intelligence (the predominant industry theme) accelerate skill atrophy in human collaboration?

Anyone working on A.I as connective tissue human for relationships?

Good Mediators clear preliminary clutter to enable connection..

[Brock Human @Brockhuman]

@PaulAnleitner @jgreenhall @nathanfray Very much looking forward to that day. I’ll reach out
