Just a little something I made while playing around with some audio clips and random videos from friends.

If capitalism is a pregnancy, we are in labor. Our ways of being -- the ways we have used money, technology and each other -- have been so unsustainable up to this point, but they may not have all been in vain. We’ve reached the 9-month threshold -- an inflection point -- and now we’re about to deliver a child.

The issues we face as a human species are far too complex and entangled for any one person to comprehend. The information terrain is certainly bumpy, and it’s only getting bumpier. We might look around this strange new world and realize there are places, nooks and crannies our eyes can’t reach, so we must reach out to one another to grasp its contours.

Let’s rethink our narratives around money so that it becomes based on things that truly serve us, such as nature and wellbeing. Care Economy is a distributed online health insurance policy shared by a network community of professional & non-professional (health)care practitioners that earn by sharing.

Technology, economy & healthcare can continue in their current trajectory or they can begin to include more diversity in perspective that prioritizes our wellbeing. In an increasingly automated world, what if a world without work is one in which we care for each other?

We already know what technology looks like under the reign of Western patriarchal thinking. Now, let’s imagine it’s alternative, through the lens of the feminine care perspective and through the unitary spirit of radical interdependence. As Donna Haraway writes, “It matters what stories we tell.  It matters what thoughts think thoughts. It matters what worlds world worlds.”

What might technology look like if it were developed through more spiritual sensibilities? What might it look like if it optimized empathy, intuition & connectedness instead of efficiency & productivity?

Organic, autonomous, collective. Our intuitive and sensemaking abilities have atrophied. How can we make better sense of a complex world if not through collectivity?

As social and environmental issues grow increasingly dire, let us ask ourselves, if it's possible to modify Minecraft's code, in what ways can we hack our real socio-economic systems and create pockets of alternate realities in which everyone can thrive?

As we grow increasingly aware of the harmfulness of physical punishment and learn about fairer ways of dealing with children, it would serve us well to question what, so ingrained in our cultural fabric, we’ve long accepted as normal.

On health, wellness & natural medicine: a manifesto.

Looking at how today’s technology exploits nature, I wondered what modern technology might look like if it were instead developed through more “eastern” or “archaic” spiritual sensibilities and relationship with nature.

I had a dream the other night, about how aliens, language and the ways in which we communicate with each other can save the world!

I never paid much attention to the table setting during Sunday lunches at my grandma’s until she asked me if I liked her new bell. A little buttress for the status quo, I thought about how the object in fact reinforces social hierarchy in old Filipino households.

From security and streamlined services to racial bias and mass surveillance, what does it mean for smart cities to be better? Whose better?

Two weeks ago, I gave a talk about one of my projects, Voluminous Territories. Using the country Cyprus as a case study, I explained how private companies are reshaping our world and transforming our notions of territory.

Major cities across the world are in danger of losing water in the next few decades, unless their water use radically changes. Let us rekindle our relationship with our most valuable resource by imagining a world without it.

Saving our planet requires a revolution within ourselves – a paradigm shift in thinking – from separateness to connectedness.
