Berlin is where this will land, keep going — truly.
We are entering a phase where the old maps no longer match the terrain.
Most of what humanity has believed for millennia will be questioned, reframed, or collapse altogether.
In that world, spaces like this will be essential — not run by managers of consensus, but by people who already know how to think across boundaries.
You cannot enter these rabbit holes from a single discipline. You must be able to see sideways, diagonally, peripherally. Only then do the fragments start to form a coherent whole.
What you are creating now will be needed sooner than most realize!
I agree: the old maps are failing fast, and not gently. What’s breaking isn’t just systems, but the shortcuts people used to avoid thinking for themselves. Spaces that can actually hold meaning, contradiction, and synthesis will matter far more than any performative “community.”
And yes, this can’t be done from a single discipline or identity. It requires seeing across fragments until they form something whole again. That’s exactly the work here. Appreciate you seeing it, and naming the urgency!
I will wait for part two before bringing this forward in my community for their consideration. I noticed that one of our charter members, a true genius and international communications professional just featured your article, High-Bandwidth Human Fail Online. Dang.... we are making progress with team NEXUS.
I never said I wanted followers or a lot of members. I want to serve those adults who value me and each other. It's that less than 5% group that moves the world and creates meaning and "presence" for all who value critical thinking, writing, and the stories you are producing.
Thank you so much, Georgia! I really appreciate the kind words and the support. I’d love to see the feature by your charter member. If there’s a link, I’d be curious to check it out and connect.
It’s meaningful to hear you reference that <5% group. It feels like exactly the type of conversation and presence I hope to contribute to, and it’s inspiring to know it resonates with people who value critical thinking and depth over volume. Looking forward to sharing part two soon and continuing the conversation!

Thank you, Ron!

I love this. Wout.
